Let’s look at this….

THERE IS THERE ARE

Look at these examples:

•Contracted forms of there is, there are - Contractions are only possible from there is = there’s - The form there’re is not used - In negative sentences there are two ways to make the contraction “there is not”:  There is not a problem There isn’t a problem There’s not a problem o We can also shorten “there are not” in two ways: There are not any fish in this river There aren’t any fish in this river There are no fish in this river

Look at these examples:

• Pay attention that in the singular form, we use a or an before the singular element • Pay attention that in the plural form it is necessary to mention the number of the elements and the word any is used to express the absence of elements
