what is there to drink?

[ripley]

Hi! I’d like to know if B’s question and options are correct


A: (offer something to drink): Would you like something to drink?
B: (ask what is there) : What is there? ( is it correct?)

Could B also say: What is there to drink? Or
What have you got ?
What have you got to drink?
What sort of drinks are there?

Can A say: There are coke, lemonade and orange juice. ( or should A say: there is some coke, lemonade and orange juice)


Which sentence is mostly used to ask what there is? Which is hardly heard?



Thanks a lot

Hi Rip

Well, I think B would first say "Yes" and then ask a question such as "What do you have?" or "What have you got?"

It is not likely that anyone would use these sentences:
"What have you got to drink?" "What sort of drinks are there?"
These are unnecessarily redundant and wouldn't sound natural.

Can A say: There are coke, lemonade and orange juice. No, no native speaker would use 'are' here.

( or should A say: there is some coke, lemonade and orange juice) Yes, use 'is' -- with or without the word 'some'.

A could also say something such as this:
"I've got coke, lemonade and orange juice."
