There is Vs There are

There describes a thing that exists in an specific place. We can refer in singular or plural. For example: 1. In my classroom there is a television. (Singular)
2. In my classroom there isn't any television (Singular)
3. In my classroom there are 35 chairs. (Plural)
4. In my classroom there are some chairs. (Plural)

Check the next box, you can find the different uses of There is/are

Remember that we can use SOME with plural and affirmative sentences. For example:

There are some candies in that box. ( There are + some + noun + complement)

some doesn't expresess the quantity, but we can specify that. For example: There are ten candies in that box.

You can use ANY in plural question and negative form. For example:

Are there any candies in that box? (are there + any + noun (plural) + complement ?)

No, there aren't any candies in that box (negative long answer). We specify there are no candies in that box.

is there a candy in that box? (is there + noun (singular) + complement?)

No, there isn't. (Negative short answer)

is there any milk in the glass? (is there+any+noun+complement?)
yes, there is some milk in the glass. (affirmative long answer)

Now check the nex exercises and try to do them.
