Question

what are there

what's in the box?和 what are there in the box?是否都对?
There are soma books in the box.的特殊问句,我认为what's in the box?和 what are there in the box?

Answer 1

What's in the box?这个问的是盒子里有什么,这里强调的是什么,内容
What are there in the box?意思是存在,即盒子里有什么吧?而这里强调的是盒子里有没有东西,如果有是什么
从回答there are some books in the box看,已经知道有东西,所以问的是强调什么,故应该用what's in the box为佳
