It's the dilemma over subject-verb agreement in "there is/there are" clauses that Forum member Sky presented in the Forum almost a decade ago. Those three sentences are using what's called in English grammar as the anticipatory "there" clause, which means a clause introduced by the expletive "there." Indeed, the problem with anticipatory "there" clauses is that they often put grammar and notion in irreconcilable conflict. So then, with all things considered, are the three anticipatory "there" sentences Sky presented grammatically correct and acceptable?
