Правильный ответ: 1 (are). Полное предложение: There are pictures on the walls. Почему используется «are»? Выбор формы глагола to be в конструкции there + be зависит от числа существительного, которое следует сразу за ним:
- Множественное число: Поскольку существительное pictures (картины) стоит во множественном числе, необходимо использовать форму are.
- Единственное число: Если бы в предложении говорилось об одной картине (a picture), использовалась бы форма is.
- Местоимение «I»: Форма am используется исключительно с местоимением первого лица единственного числа (I am), поэтому в данной конструкции она невозможна.
Правило согласования В английском языке подлежащее в конструкциях с there формально стоит после глагола.
| Предложение | Существительное | Форма глагола |
|---|---|---|
| There is a picture... | Единственное число | is |
| There are pictures... | Множественное число | are |
