问题描述：
there is a pen and two books on the desk.还是there are a pen and two books on the desk?
对这语法不懂,急用!
答
用前者
在英语中，there be 句型中，be动词的形式要遵循“就近原则”即紧跟在be动词后面的是单数就用is，如果是复数就用are
答
there is a pen and two books on the desk
there be句型用邻近原则,后面的第一个表语是a pen,所以谓语单数处理.但是,下句也对:
there are two books and a pen on the desk
答
都可以的
答
there are a pen and two books on the desk
答
用IS
因为在英语的THERE BE句型中谓语用就近原则,例如这一题,离谓语较近的是A PEN是单数,所以用IS
