There is or There are ...



"Please note, paired Singular and Plural nouns always end in ‘s’ because there are always two."



There are or There is?



I don't know why I'm having big problems trying to understand this. Can someone give me an explanation?

Hi, I'd say "there are", because it's followed by "two". There are two. There is one.

I think the "There are" is right. Because as you said in your sentence, paired Singular and Plural nouns always end in 's', I can make some eg. for you, such as glass, trous and so on, I think you should understand that now.
