Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'There' + 'be' to introduce new information or state that something exists without making it the grammatical subject.
- Use 'There is' for singular nouns and uncountable things: 'There is a fly in my soup.'
- Use 'There are' for plural nouns: 'There are three meetings scheduled today.'
- In questions, swap the order: 'Is there any coffee left?' or 'Are there any concerns?'
نظرة عامة
there is (لا يوجد) واي فاي؟ تلك اللحظة الصغيرة من الذعر تأتيك من خلال there الوجودية. إنها قواعد الوجود. أنت لا تصف كيف يبدو الشيء، بل تعلن ببساطة عن وجوده في العالم. إنها مثل إصبع يشير إلى شيء ويقول: «مهلاً، انظر! هذا الشيء هنا!»there is و there are لتقديم معلومات جديدة. نسمي هذا «there الوجودية». لماذا؟A cat is on the sofa، فهذا يبدو آلياً. بل تقول
There is a cat on the sofa.there كعنصر نائب. لا تعني «هناك» (تلك there مختلفة).there is مشكلة في طلبي. أو there are ثلاث رسائل جديدة في بريدك الوارد.there's (هناك) عنكبوت على كتفه. وحقاً، أي نوع من الأصدقاء ستكون حينها؟Word Order Rules
there الوجودية، يأتي الفاعل الحقيقي *بعد* الفعل. النمط هو: There + be (الفعل) + Noun (الفاعل) + Place/Time.- المفرد:
There+is+a/an+ اسم مفرد. مثال:There is a coffee on the table. - الجمع:
There+are+ اسم جمع. مثال:There are two dogs in the park.
Is there a fly in my soup? أو Are there any tickets left?. للنفي، أضف فقط not: There is not (isn't) any milk أو There are not (aren't) any chairs. في الرسائل النصية الحديثة، نستخدم دائماً اختصار There's للمفرد.there's لأشياء الجمع مثل There's three books. على الرغم من أن الجميع يقول ذلك في الحياة الواقعية، إلا أن معلم اللغة الإنجليزية قد يصاب بنوبة قلبية بسيطة إذا كتبت بهذه الطريقة.There are للجمع عندما تحاول أن تبدو محترفاً، كما هو الحال في مقابلة عمل عبر Zoom.كيف تعمل هذه القاعدة
there كـ «فاعل وهمي». إنه ليس شخصاً أو شيئاً حقيقياً. إنه مجرد شبح قواعدي.The beach is beautiful. تريد أن تخبر متابعيك بما يمكنهم العثور عليه هناك. تقول
There are many palm trees here! أو There is a small café nearby.there is و it is. إليك القاعدة الذهبية: استخدم there is لقول أن شيئاً ما موجود. استخدم it is لوصف ذلك الشيء بمجرد تقديمه بالفعل.There isهاتف جديد على الطاولة. (أنا أخبرك أنه هناك.)It isمكلف للغاية. (أنا أصف الهاتف الذي تحدثنا عنه للتو.)
there is (هناك) سبب لكل شيء يعني عادة أنك نسيت لماذا دخلت المطبخ.
نمط التكوين
There. هذا هو أساسك.
is. إذا رأيت اثنين أو أكثر، استخدم are.
is (There is water / There is a bug)
are (There are memes / There are people)
There + is + a party + at my house.
There + are + many stars + in the sky.
There's هو الملك. There's a new video on YouTube. إنه سريع وقوي ويجعلك تبدو كمتحدث أصلي. تذكر فقط أن is يحب الأسماء المفردة و are يحب الأسماء الجمع. إنهما مثل ذلك الزوجين في الحفلة اللذين يرفضان الانفصال. إذا وضعت is مع اسم جمع في مقال رسمي، فالأمر يشبه ارتداء الجوارب مع الصنادل - بعض الناس يفعلون ذلك، لكنه بالتأكيد اختيار غريب.
Pattern Variations
- النفي: أضف
not. في الإنجليزية غير الرسمية، نستخدمisn'tوaren't. There isn't any Wi-Fi in this café.(المأساة الكبرى في القرن الحادي والعشرين.)There aren't any clean towels.- السؤال: اقلب الفعل و
there. Is there a charger I can use?Are there any good shows on Netflix right now?- الإجابة القصيرة: لا تقل فقط «نعم» أو «لا». استخدم النمط.
Is there a gym in the hotel?
->Yes,
there is.Are there many people at the party?
-> "No,there aren't."- كلمات الكمية: غالباً ما نستخدم
someللمثبت وanyللنفي والسؤال. There are some cookies in the kitchen.Are there any cookies left?(أهم سؤال ستطرحه على الإطلاق.)

ملاحظات ثقافية
Using 'There seems to be...' is a common cultural 'softener'. English speakers often avoid direct confrontation by blaming the existence of a problem rather than the person.
In some dialects, you might hear 'There's' used for everything, regardless of plurality, even more frequently than in standard English.
Existential 'there' is used to maintain an objective, impersonal tone in research papers.
The use of 'there' as a dummy subject dates back to Old English (þær), where it was already used to introduce sentences where the subject was delayed.

الأسئلة الشائعة (8)
In informal spoken English, yes. People often say `There's three people`. However, in formal writing or exams, you must use `There are` for plural nouns.
Use `There is` to introduce something new (`There is a cat`). Use `It is` to describe something we already know about (`It is a black cat`).
The verb usually agrees with the first item. `There is a pen and two books` is common. If the first item is plural, use are: `There are two books and a pen`.
Yes, in formal or literary English, you can use verbs like `exist`, `remain`, `seem`, or `appear`. Example: `There remains one final question.`
Grammatically, it acts as the subject (the 'dummy subject'), but the 'real' or 'logical' subject is the noun that follows the verb.
Put 'will' before 'there'. Example: `Will there be any food at the party?`
`There is no...` is slightly more emphatic and common in formal writing. Both are correct.
No. Use `There has been` for singular/uncountable and `There have been` for plural. Example: `There has been a change` vs `There have been changes`.
