Grammar Rule: Formation and Usage of "There is/There are" Construction

The "there is/there are" construction is used to indicate the existence or presence of something. It is commonly used to talk about the availability or quantity of objects or people in a particular location. The choice between "there is" and "there are" depends on whether the noun following it is singular or plural.

Now, let's go through the given sentences and choose the correct construction for each one:

1) There is some milk in my coffee. [[1]] 2) There are no interesting stories in this book. [[2]] 3) There are a lot of good people in our school. [[3]] 4) There is some bread in the kitchen. [[4]] 5) There are ten desks in the classroom. [[5]] 6) There are two armchairs in the room. [[6]] 7) There are two supermarkets in this street. [[7]] 8) There is a pretty doll for your daughter on the table. [[8]] 9) There is a present for you. [[9]] 10) There is a beautiful swimming pool near our school. [[10]] 11) There is a new TV in this room. [[11]] 12) There are some mistakes in your homework. [[12]] 13) There is a lot of snow outdoors. [[13]] 14) There are tomatoes and cucumbers in this salad. [[14]] 15) There is not any water in the glass. [[15]]

Remember, when using the negative form, "there is not" is contracted to "there isn't" and "there are not" is contracted to "there aren't."
