Beautiful Eitan! Truly. Thank you for sharing.

There are no cold and horror – I do not shiver
I believe, (sense you asked), grammatically it should be ‘there is no cold and horror’.

Thank you!! And thanks for the critique 🙂
Will edit if possible 🙂
(Though grammatically, isn’t it plural?)
Good question. (I almost didn’t say anything because I don’t have any grammar rule I know to quote.) Then I mentioned it anyway… *wince* My brain, my /self/, why dost thou do this to thyself!!
Anyways…
Yes; it is plural.
But ‘is’ /does/ go there. *Knowing I’m doing this horribly…I should ask my mother.*
It sounds wrong with ‘are’. I’ve never heard or read someone use it that way, even with plurals. But I have heard/read/written it with ‘is’… *Wishing I had paid more attention in phonics memorization.* Grr.
I will ask my mother. She knows about this sort of thing…
(I hope this makes more sense to you, than it does to me…)
‘The subject is “there”.
“There is” is the subject and verb.
“cold and horror” is the direct object(s)’
But, at least I know I’m not crazy…. in the complete oblivious sense of the word…
Post Script: It was ‘Tal’ who answered my question…not my mother. (:
