英語の本を読んでいて、"There is more than one answer." という一文がありました。 これは文法的に、どう分解されるのでしょうか。 "There is more / than one answer" (一つの答え以上がある) なのか、 "There is (more than one) answer" (一つ以上の答えがある) なのか、ということです。 いずれにしても "There are" の方が適切な気がするのですが、どうなのでしょうか。 自分で書くとしたら、"There are more than one answers." と書いてしまいそうですが、間違っていますか。 納得できる説明を期待しています。 (気分で書いただけの推測コメントにはポイントを差し上げないことがあります。)

Do I put the period inside or outside the quotation marks? What about question marks and quotation marks? I’ve been told so many different things over the years that the answers have just blurred together. Please help! —Quizzical in
The common “hyphen” The character commonly known as hyphen originated in early typewriters. The character repertoire had to be kept small, so several characters such as hyphen, en dash, em dash, and minus sign were lumped together. In modern character code standards, the character is called “hyphen-minus” to reflect its ambiguity, but it’s really more ambiguous than the name suggests. It is best t
Based upon a chapter from David Kadavy’s upcoming book, find a few rules of thumb that will have you using typography more lucidly than ever before.
