Not technically: the compound subject uses the plural verb are."There are a spoon and a fork on the plate."But colloquially this construction, while erroneous, is very common. It could also be grammatically correct if the spoon is not on the plate (set off by a comma)."There is a spoon, and a fork on the plate." (and there is a fork on the plate)
Generally there is a knife and fork, but if there isn't then the fork would go on the left side of the plate.
You put your knife and fork side by side across the plate.
The fork should be placed on the left side of the plate and the knife on the right side, with the blade facing towards the plate.

Fork on left and knife on right. If you have lots of courses you work from the inside to the outside. You would have a smaller fork for starter then work outside for the rest.
After a meal, the fork and knife should be placed parallel to each other on the plate, with the fork on the left and the knife on the right, pointing towards the center of the plate.
In a standard Western or European setting the knife goes to the immediate right of the plate with the cutting side of the blade facing toward the plate, and the fork (or forks) go to the left of the plate; with the dinner fork closest to the plate and forks for other course to the left in such wise as the fork for the first course is on the outside, Hence the rule of thumb, when unsure of which fork to use, start at the outside and work in.

The fork and knife go on the right side of the plate and if you have a spoon it goes on the left side of the plate.
A fork can float if it is made of the right material. A fork that is made from stainless steel will not float in water, but a fork made of plastic will.
In a most basic setting, on the left, between the napkin and the plate would ordinarily be the fork. In a broader setting, still referred to as a 'basic' setting, there may be a salad fork to the left of the luncheon fork or dinner fork. So, as a simple setting to visualise from right to left would be: Spoon, Knife (with blade facing the plate), Plate, Fork, Napkin. Above the spoon and knife would be a water glass and above the napkin and fork might be a butter plate, with butter knife, (handle facing towards the plate, and blade facing downward).
