A question: As with any grammar rule there ARE a lot of exceptions... #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 12, 2007 10:04 am   A question: As with any grammar rule there ARE a lot of exceptions...		  
should there be "are" between "there" and "a lot of" in the sentence below:

As with any grammar rule there ARE a lot of exceptions and it's really best for you to simply read stories and find the adverbs in italics.

(I found it in this text:

thanks

Dear lost_soul,

Many thanks for pointing out this out -- you are right, the sentence must read "there are a lot of exceptions" and I've just changed it.
Regards,
Torsten
