OG107单复数问题

我来猜测一下available的意思：

there be句型已经表达了近似exist 的意思，avaiable water 表明： ets认为该area并不是没有水，而是有水还没能利用（城市里水按理应该有的）。 这样，就更确切表达。例如我身边不是没有gg,只是not available,有女朋友。there are no available boys, not " there are no boys"

查了langman: Every available space on the wall was covered in pictures.

请问举这个例子想说明什么?

there be 强调存在这个状态

there1 S1 W1

there is/exists/remains etc used to say that something exists or happens:

There must be easier ways of doing this.

There seems to be a lack of communication.

There remain several questions still to be answered.

Suddenly there was a loud explosion.

They were all laughing when there came a knock at the door.

ex‧ist 强调存在这个动作

應該是要說明avaiable water中avaiable的位置 是可以這麼用的

or 要的单复数问题要用就近原则；

这题，little 修饰模糊，所以A，B，D都可以开始就排除了；

A and B 谓语通常用复数；特殊的情况我举个例子你就明白了～

my teacher and friend is 我的良师益友～

有一些关于单复数的疑问:AorB的结构,谓语不是和B保持一直吗?OG有一点解释是Since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound suject requiring a plural verb; thus, the singular verbs "exists" (in B and C) and "is" (in D) are wrong.
为什么这里这么解释了,不明白什么时候应该把A or B看成a pair,什么时候跟B保持一致,还有一个问题就是到底和A还是B一致,还是就是用复数呢?看过以前的贴子,未解决

把本题所有的讨论都看完了,现在回过头来就是要确认下列几组句子,哪些是正确的,NN们,拜托了:

There is little water and air.

There are little water and air.

There is water and some animals.

There are water and some animals.

There is a little water or some animals.

There are a little water or some animals.

以下是引用dormousedzc在2007-12-3 17:01:00的发言：

There is a little water or some animals.

There are a little water or some animals.

there be 句式后面可以用or吗？

请NN们解答？

今天又看了下这道题，这个问题已想通；

可是又产生了另一个问题，there be 不是就近原则吗？

since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb;
            thus, the singular verbs exists (in B and C) and is (in D) are wrong？

什么时候把两名字考虑为a piar??  请NN解答，非常感谢
