More than one/some

Hi, Hello everyone

This is my question after viewing the other similar posting.

1. When I opened the fridge there was more than one eggs, two bottles of milk and butter.

2. When I opened the fridge there were more than some eggs, two bottles of milk and butter.

Do the verbs agree with the nouns?

Your sentences have more problems than that; the whole concept reads oddly. Use this: When I opened the fridge, t here were several eggs, two bottles of milk and butter. I think that this is what you are after, however: There is more than one way to skin a cat.
