Learn English – “There is some evidence” or “there are some evidence”

singular-vs-plural

I've read an article on BBC and the author wrote "there is some evidence…", but that phrase is really confusing because "some" is a plural identification but following "is". Can someone please explain this?

Best Answer

According to MacMillan Dictionary, some can be used as a determiner, followed by an uncountable noun:

I’ll make some coffee.

followed by a plural noun:

She brought me some flowers.

followed by a singular countable noun, to refer to someone or something that is unknown or unspecified:

She married some guy she met on the boat.
