    For positive sentences we can use a/an for singular nouns or some for plurals. There's a banana on the table. I have some eggs in the kitchen. For negatives sentences we can use a/an for singular nouns or any for plurals. I don't have an orange. There aren't any candies.

    There is / There are
    We use there is for singular and there are for plural. There is one table in the classroom. There are three chairs in the classroom. There is a spider in the bath. There are many people at the bus stop. We also use There is with uncountable nouns: There is milk in the fridge. There is some sugar on the table. There is ice cream on your shirt.

Slide 5

    There is / There are
    Contractions The contraction of there is is there's. There's a good song on the radio. There's only one chocolate left in the box. You cannot contract there are. There are nine cats on the roof. There are only five weeks until my birthday. Negative Form The negative is formed by putting not after is or are: There is not a horse in the field. There are not eight children in the school. There is not a tree in the garden. There are not two elephants in the zoo. We almost always use contractions when speaking. The Negative contractions are: There's not = There isn't There are not = There aren't

Slide 6

    There is / There are
    There aren't with ANY When we want to indicate that a zero quantity of something exists we use there aren't any. There aren't any people at the party. There aren't any trees in my street. We also use this structure with uncountable nouns: There isn't any water in the swimming pool. There isn't any sugar in my coffee. Questions To form a question we place is / are in front of there. Again we use any with plural questions or those which use uncountable nouns. We also use there is / are in short answers. Is there a dog in the supermarket? - No, there isn't. Are there any dogs in the park? - Yes, there are. Is there a security guard in the shop? - Yes, there is. Are there any polar bears in Antarctica? - No, there aren't.
