Hello there! Emotion: smile
Can you help me with one question?
Is that right to ask: "What is a theremin and guitars?" or "What are a theremin and guitars?
TIA
  

Top answer

Normally, the issue would be are you asking about one thing or two? However, since I know the answer, your original question is wrongly stated. A theremin is an electronic musical instrument.

A theremin is an electronic musical instrument. Guitars are guitars. They are not a joint instrument, but two separate kinds of musical instruments.

So perhaps you want to ask:
What is a theremin?
Or
What does a theremin

I was asking about two seperate kinds of instruments.
Is that the only way to say it correctly by using "mean"?
