There's more red umbrellas on this beach than I can possibly count! Whats wrong with the sentence

Answered on

The sentence "There's more red umbrellas on this beach than I can possibly count!" contains a grammatical error. The correct form should be:

"There are more red umbrellas on this beach than I can possibly count!"

The correction involves changing "There's" (a contraction of "there is") to "There are" to match the plural noun "umbrellas." Additionally, the verb "count" remains in the singular form "can" because it refers to the speaker's individual ability to count, not the actual counting of the umbrellas.
