原话: Wrong:There IS a young man and an older woman at the bus stop. Flip it!:A young man and an older woman AREthere at the bus stop. Right:There ARE a young man and an older woman at the bus stop.
By flipping the sentence so that the subject precedes the verb, we can see that the compound subject a young man and an older woman is plural. In spoken English, there is is often used incorrectly with plural subjects. The subject of a there is or there are expression follows the verb.
