The Apllication Of There is and There are

We use there is for singular and there are for plural . examples : There is one table in the classroom. There are three chairs in the classroom. There is a spider in the bath. There are many people at the bus stop.

The contraction of there is is there's . Examples: There's a good song on the radio. There's only one chocolate left in the box. You can not contract there are . Examples: There are nine cats on the roof. There are only five weeks until Christmas.

The negative is formed by putting not after is or are : Examples: There is not a horse in the field. There are not eight children in the school. There is not a tree in the garden. There are not two elephants in the zoo.

The Negative contractions are: There's not = There isn't There are not = There aren't

When we want to indicate that a zero quantity of something exists we use there aren't any. Example: There aren't any people at the party. We also use this structure with uncountable nouns: There is not any water in the swimming pool.

we place (s) is / are in front of there . Again we use any with plural questions or those which use uncountable nouns. We also use there is / are in short answers. Examples: Is there a dog in the supermarket? - No, there isn't. Are there any dogs in the park? - Yes, there are. Is there a security guard in the shop? - Yes, there is. Are there any polar bears in Antarctica? - No, there aren't. Is there any ice-cream in the freezer? - Yes, there is.

If we want to find out the number of objects that exist we use How many in the following form: How many + plural noun + are there (+ complement). Examples: How many dogs are there in the park? How many students are there in your class?
