Ответ:

There are tables in the hall.

There is a telephone in the corridor.

Answer 2

Task 2: To complete the sentences using "there is" or "there are," we need to consider whether we are talking about a singular or plural noun.

1. "There is a book on the shelf." - Since we are talking about a single book, we use "there is." 2. "There is a house in that yard." - Again, we are talking about a single house, so we use "there is." 3. "There are tables in the hall." - Here, we are talking about multiple tables, so we use "there are." 4. "There are some pupils in the room." - Since we are referring to multiple pupils, we use "there are." 5. "There is a telephone in the corridor." - In this case, we are talking about a single telephone, so we use "there is."

In summary: - Use "there is" when referring to a singular noun. - Use "there are" when referring to multiple nouns.
