THERE IS/ THERE ARE



GRAMMAR NOTE
  • We use there is and there are when we first refer to the existence or presence of someone or something:

There’s a letter on your desk. Julia brought it from the mailroom.
Not: It’s a letter on your desk.

There are three Japanese students in my class.
  • There is and there’s are both singular forms. 
  • We use there’s more commonly in informal speaking:

She’s very determined and there’s no chance she will change her mind.
  • There are is the plural form of there is and there’s:

You´ve already found out when to use there is and there are, but it´s also important to know about the form.
