Actually, learning another language is vital to survive and succeed in this globalized
world and for that, students must practice different language skills such as writing,
listening, speaking and reading; however, there are some subskills that are essential

“There is” and “there are” affirmative statements

In English, we use “there is” or “there are” to talk about things we can see; that is: existence.

• We use “there is” for singular and uncountable nouns.

• We use “there are” for plural countable nouns.

“There are five people in the cafeteria.” (plural countable noun)

“There’s a television in the bedroom.” (singular countable noun)

or “There’s some orange juice in the fridge.” (uncountable noun)

“some”
With plural countable nouns we can either give the quantity (“four people”) or use “some” if we
don’t know the exact number or quantity.

“There are four people in the cafeteria.” (We can see four people exactly)

“There are some people in the office.” (We don’t know exactly how many people)

• With uncountable nouns we also use “some”.

29
 Unit

“There’s some orange juice in the fridge.” (I don’t know the exact quantity.)

• With singular countable nouns we use a/an, the, or another determiner or pronoun – not
“some”.

“There’s a man in the shop.”

“There’s the guy who works in the hospital.”

“There’s my brother in the photo.”

There is and there are negative statements

There are two ways to form negative statements.

A. Add not to the end of the verb.

There isn’t a fridge in the kitchen. (singular countable noun)

There isn’t any milk in my glass. (uncountable noun)

There aren’t any students in the classroom. (plural noun)

• For uncountable nouns, we use “any” after the negative “isn’t”, and for plural countable
nouns we use “any” after “aren’t”.

30
 Unit
2

• We don’t use “any” with singular countable nouns.

“There isn’t a single orange left in the bowl.” (Not “There isn’t any single orange left in the bowl.”)

B. Use “no” after “there is” or “there are”.

There is no fridge in the kitchen. (singular countable noun)

There are no people in the cafeteria. (plural noun)

There’s no milk left. (uncountable noun)

Note: it’s more common to use “isn’t + a” for singular countable nouns, “isn’t + any” for
uncountable nouns and “aren’t + any” for plural nouns.
