PRESENTATION
THERE IS/ THERE ARE
Rules:
We use there is/are to say that something exists (or doesn’t exist): The real
subject usually comes after there is/are.
1. Use “there is” for singular nouns and things you cannot count.
Examples:
- There is a spider on the wall.
- There is sugar on the floor.
- There is an apple on the table.
- There is a river in my country.
2. Use of “there are” for plural nouns; that is to say, we use “there are” with
plural subjects.
Examples:
- There are pencils on my desk.
- There are seven students in the classroom.
- There are two pairs of shoes in my closet.
3. 3. To say the opposite (negative) we use “is not/ are not”.
Examples:
- There isn’t a telephone in the kitchen.
- There isn’t an orange on the table.
- There aren’t two pictures on the all.
