What do “there is” and “there are” mean?\n\n**There is** and **there are** are used to say that something exists or is in a place.\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There is a dog in the garden.”\n* “There are two chairs in the room.”\n\n## 2\\. When do we use there is \u002F there are?\n\nYou use **there is \u002F there are** to talk about:\n\n### 2.1 Existence (something exists)\n\n* “There is a problem.”\n* “There are many people here.”\n\n### 2.2 Saying that something is in a place\n\n* “There is a shop near my house.”\n* “There are books on the table.”\n\n## 3\\. Choosing the correct form: there is or there are\n\nThe form depends on the **noun phrase after there is \u002F there are**: singular or uncountable nouns take **there is**; plural nouns take **there are**.\n\nUse “There is”\n\n* with **one thing** (singular)\n* with **uncountable nouns**\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There is **a cat** outside.”\n* “There is **milk** in the fridge.”\n* “There is **some water** on the table.”\n\nUse “There are”\n\n* with **more than one thing** (plural)\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There are **two cats** outside.”\n* “There are **many students** in the class.”\n* “There are **some apples** in the bag.”\n\n**Important tip:**\nAlways look at the **noun after there is \u002F there are**, not the place. \nFor example: **There is a book on the table.** (book = singular, so **is**) \u002F **There are books on the table.** (books = plural, so **are**).\n\n## 4\\. Positive sentences\n\nStructure: **There is \u002F There are + noun phrase (+ place)**\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There is **a** **chair** in the room.” *(chair = singular → there is)*\n* “There are **three windows** in the house.” *(windows = plural → there are)*\n\n## 5\\. Negative sentences\n\nStructure: **There is \u002F There are + not + noun phrase (+ place)** (e.g., **a\u002Fan + singular noun**, **any + plural\u002Funcountable noun**)\nTo make a sentence negative, add **not**. In everyday English, we often use **isn't** and **aren't**.\nWe often use **any** in negative sentences and questions: **There isn't any milk. \u002F Are there any chairs?**\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There is not a TV in the room.” → **There isn't a TV in the room.**\n* “There are not any chairs.” → **There aren't any chairs.**\n\n## 6\\. Yes \u002F No Questions\n\nTo make a question, change the word order.\nStructure: **Is \u002F Are + there + noun phrase (+ place)?**\n\nExample:\n\n* **There is a bank nearby.** → **Is there a bank nearby?**\n* “Is there a toilet here?”\n* “Is there any milk?”\n* “Are there two bathrooms?”\n* “Are there any students in the class?”\n\n### 6.1 Short answers\n\n**Yes:**\n\n* “Yes, there is.”\n* “Yes, there are.”\n\n**No:**\n\n* “No, there isn’t.”\n* “No, there aren’t.”\n\n## 7\\. There is \u002F There are with some and any\n\nWe often use **some** and **any** with there is \u002F there are.\n\n* **Some** → positive sentences\n* **Any** → negative sentences and questions\n\nExamples:\n\n* “There is **some** water.” *(water = uncountable → is)*\n* “There isn’t **any** milk.” *(milk = uncountable → is)*\n* “Are there **any** shops nearby?” *(shops = plural → are)*\n\n## 8\\. Easy way to remember\n\nRemember: Choose **is\u002Fare** from the noun after **there** (singular\u002Funcountable = **is**, plural = **are**).\n\n* **One thing or uncountable** → **There is**\n* **More than one thing** → **There are**","en","A1",18,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aedde-0c65-7c43-ab26-3f57d53aca04","There is \u002F There are",false,0,2,[],"2025-12-26T10:18:48+00:00","2026-07-14T17:37:37+00:00",[22],"grammar_exercise_questions_nouns_articles_determiners",[],"\u002Fuploads\u002Fimages\u002Fog_019b5a2b-0953-7b0a-a3cf-9572d9b67763.jpg?v=1784050657",[26,33],{"@id":27,"@type":28,"id":29,"grammarPage":30,"title":31,"instructions":32,"displayOrder":16,"isCompleted":15},"\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_exercises\u002F019d1af6-0f22-7956-89d0-1642df21e395","GrammarExercise","019d1af6-0f22-7956-89d0-1642df21e395","\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_pages\u002F019b5a2b-0953-7b0a-a3cf-9572d9b67763","There is\u002Fare - My Home","Complete the sentences about your home using 'there is' or 'there are'.
