Grammar
was and were
Hi everybody.
Recently been reading Revenge Of The Lawn; in the introduction, however, I'm confused about the usage of was in the following sentences:
"I looked around.
There was the bikers.
And there was Mac and Don."
To my ear, were seems a bit clumsy to use here, but is it technically correct?
Thanks to all those who have helped me so far.
