Anonymous hello, my question is this: is it right to use in a sentence: what were there in the basket? if it is not correct, I would like to know why, please, many thanks If you make a plural subject, then a plural verb agrees: What things were there in your Easter basket? There were eggs, chocolate rabbits and marshmellow peeps.
