even with singular they, the verb (?) is still "are" or other plural stuff. i was wrong until 3 years ago.

feels like it's either there's or there are, but there's works for everything

been googling for 2 years, still don't get it.
some americans say "there're" is normal in speech but wrong in writing.
and it sometimes becomes "there's" in speech?

seems there's things called descriptivism and prescriptivism in linguistics.
my philosophy was descriptivism
(believing there's no such thing as a misuse of words)

the contraction of "there are" is "there's". didn't know this until 2 years ago. still not sure if this is correct on american middle schoolers twt.
