There be句型的就近原则是咋回事?给我讲讲

网友回答

看第一个主语决定动词用is/ are, 还是过去的was/ were
如: There is a book and two pens on the desk. ( 看a book, 用is)
There are two pens and a book on the desk. ( 看two pens, 用are)
======以下答案可供参考======
供参考答案1:
there be 句型的就近原则就近的是后面所跟的名词性成分
there be句型的就近原则应该是更体现在有两者以上
比如：there is some milk and books on the table
there are some books and milk on the table
这个例子一看就明白了吧？很简单的~
