There have(has) ~~/ There is(are)..

There have been several reasons why~~

have comes due to a plural noun "reasons".. but I remember some cases of inconsistency: There has ~~ + a plural noun... or There is + a plural noun..

and one more thing.. A + B is........ / An apple and pear are fruits... but I found A + B doesn`t always have are but is as a main verb of a sentence.

Thanks.

There are plenty; I doubt there is a list available; it often depends on the speaker's conception: Catching spiders and eating them is a lot of fun.
