1. There wasn't a big supermarket. In this sentence, we use "wasn't" because it refers to a singular subject, which is a big supermarket.

2. There were small shops. In this sentence, we use "were" because it refers to multiple small shops.

3. There weren't horses in the streets. In this sentence, we use "weren't" because it refers to the absence of horses, which is a plural subject.

4. There weren't any cars. In this sentence, we use "weren't" because it refers to the absence of cars, which is a plural subject.

5. There were people in the streets. In this sentence, we use "were" because it refers to the presence of people, which is a plural subject.

6. There weren't any mobile phones. In this sentence, we use "weren't" because it refers to the absence of mobile phones, which is a plural subject.

7. There was a theatre. In this sentence, we use "was" because it refers to a singular subject, which is a theatre.

Please note that the correct form of the verb "to be" (was, weren't) depends on the subject of the sentence.
