✔ 最佳答案
兩樣東西若被視為一體,就要用單數形動詞,如:
Bread and butter was what we had for breakfast.(我們早餐吃的是塗牛油麵包)
而若兩樣東西若看為是分開的東西,則要用複數形動詞,如:
Bread and butter are sold in the supermarket.(牛油和麵包在超市發售)
但water and air好像難以視為一體,所以可以用are

若有幾點的話,大可以用The followings are...
你大可以從網上搜尋,就可以看到很多例子

希望幫到你!

樓主 : (1) Water and air, 倘若視之為集合名詞,則可用 is ; 否則需用 are ... (2) The following, 無論講述一點或幾點,也不需加上 S , e.g. The following is ... /The following are ...
