Here is some words..
Hi people,
I was just surfing through the bbc learning english section.I kept looking to some easy pronounciation videos and always this woman said clearly "Here is some words", but why not "Here are some words" Doesn't it has to be plural in relation to words, because this word is plural.
For a native speaker it might be easy, but for me , it doesnt sound natural
Thanks in advance

Alex, I think it would sound very off. I'm quite surprised to hear that it was said clearly and distinctly.
Of course, when we talk, we sometimes change the direction of what we are going to say. In writing, we have time to go back and change the beginning of our sentences, but naturally we can't do that in speech. The result it that we are often ungrammatical in speech. However, for som
