[Grammar] there is/are+ all sorts of things

[tom3m]

There's all sorts of things that needs to be done.

Is the sentence above correct? I think it should be with 'are' instead of 'is'. Am I right?

Thank you in advance

Technically, it should be "there are" but we very frequently use the contraction "there's" in this construction. However, what is definitely wrong is the use of "needs". That should be "need". It follows "sorts" and "things" so should clearly be plural.
