¿Cómo usar there is and there are en Inglés?

Good afternoon ladies and gents!

Today, we are gonna learn how to use THERE IS / THERE ARE.

We use there is to talk about the existence of something(Lo usamos para hablar de la existencia de algo).

For example,

There is a park in my neighborhood(Hay un parque en mi colonia).
There is a lot of work today (Hay mucho trabajo o chamba hoy).

For negative, we use it as THERE ISN’T / THERE AREN’T

THERE ISN’T is for singular nouns and THERE AREN’T is for plural nouns.

For example,

There isn’t a park in my neighborhood, but there is a gym.
[No hay un parque en mi colonia, pero hay un gimnacio.]

There aren’t many people that speak good English.
[No hay mucha gente que habla buen Inglés.]

To ask questions is even easier. We only invert there is as Is there…?

e.g.

Is there a park in your neighborhood?
Yes, there is.
No, there isn’t.

Are there a lot of people in Chetumal that speak good English?
Yes, there are.
No, there aren’t.

Well, if you still have doubts don’t hesitate to leave a comment below.
