Smart Tips
Use 'There is' for the furniture and 'It is' for the color.
Always look at the very first word after 'There'. If it's singular, use 'is'.
Start with 'Is there...?' to be more polite.
Always use 'are'. 'People' is the most common plural noun that doesn't end in 's'.
النطق
The 'There's' Contraction
In the contraction 'There's', the 's' sounds like a /z/ sound.
Linking 'There are'
When saying 'There are', the 'r' in 'there' links to the 'a' in 'are'.
Rising Intonation for Questions
Is there a ↗️ bank?
Indicates a yes/no question.

ملاحظات ثقافية
Native speakers often use 'There's' even for plural nouns in very casual speech (e.g., 'There's two cars'). However, this is considered grammatically incorrect in exams and formal writing.
In the UK, it is very common to use 'There is' with collective nouns like 'team' or 'staff', but sometimes they use 'There are' if they think of the members as individuals.
In some dialects, you might hear 'There's' used for almost everything, or even 'It's' used in place of 'There's'.
The use of 'there' as a dummy subject dates back to Old English, where 'þær' was used to introduce sentences.

الأسئلة الشائعة (8)
In very casual speech, native speakers often do this (e.g., 'There's two dogs'). However, in exams and formal writing, you must use 'There are'.
Use `There is` to introduce something for the first time. Use `It is` to describe that thing later. Example: 'There is a bird. It is blue.'
Usually, we look at the first item. If the first item is singular, we use `There is`. Example: 'There is a bed and two chairs.'
Just swap the words: `Is there...?` or `Are there...?` and add a question mark at the end.
Uncountable nouns always use the singular form: `There is some water.`
Yes! Both are correct. `There are no apples` is slightly more emphatic than `There aren't any apples`.
It is a contraction of 'There are', but it is very rare in writing because it is hard to say. It's better to write 'There are'.
Because it doesn't have a real meaning in the sentence; it just fills the subject position so the real subject can come after the verb.
