¶ The bungalow is between two houses.
If I paraphrase this sentence as below, which one is correct?
#1 There is a house on both sides of the bungalow.
#2 There are two houses on both sides of the bungalow.
At first I thought #2 was right, but somehow my English grammar book paraphrased it as #1. I really wonder why.
Thank you in advance.
