Anyone, please explain it.

They are using "the" before new house but "a" before village why?

ALL the furniture itself implies we're talking about it in a lot, I too feel has is correct.

Have been is used in present perfect continous but I don't think it is a example of ppc.

Collective nouns, or community nouns, use singular verbs and articles. Eg a crowd was.

All the furniture had been sent (form of verb is second. So, it is past).

Rohit raj said:   1 decade ago
Furniture is always used as singular so it should be furniture has.

Arun said:   1 decade ago
From reading, American English use has whereas British uses have.

Jitu said:   1 decade ago
Furniture is always plural we don't need to use "s"

Asp said:   1 decade ago
Furniture is uncountable noun so we cannot make it plural.

Rohit said:   1 decade ago
Furniture is plural noun it is community noun.
