Difference between "there is" and "there are"

The phrases "there is" and "there are" are used to indicate the existence or presence of something. The main difference between them lies in their usage with singular and plural nouns.

- "There is" is used with singular nouns. It indicates the existence or presence of one thing or a singular entity. For example: - "There is a book on the shelf." [[1]](https://enginform.com/article/there-is-there-are) - "There is an apple on the table." [[3]](https://easyspeak.ru/blog/vsyo-o-grammatike/there-is-there-are-v-anglijscom-predlogenii)

- "There are" is used with plural nouns. It indicates the existence or presence of multiple things or entities. For example: - "There are books on the shelf." [[1]](https://enginform.com/article/there-is-there-are) - "There are apples in the basket." [[3]](https://easyspeak.ru/blog/vsyo-o-grammatike/there-is-there-are-v-anglijscom-predlogenii)

It's important to note that the choice between "there is" and "there are" depends on the number of items being referred to. If there is only one item, use "there is." If there are multiple items, use "there are."

Here are a few more examples to illustrate the usage:

- "There is a cat in the garden." (singular noun) [[3]](https://easyspeak.ru/blog/vsyo-o-grammatike/there-is-there-are-v-anglijscom-predlogenii) - "There are dogs in the park." (plural noun) [[3]](https://easyspeak.ru/blog/vsyo-o-grammatike/there-is-there-are-v-anglijscom-predlogenii) - "There is a pen on the desk." (singular noun) [[1]](https://enginform.com/article/there-is-there-are) - "There are pencils in the drawer." (plural noun) [[1]](https://enginform.com/article/there-is-there-are)

Remember to always match the verb form (is/are) with the noun being referred to.

I hope this clarifies the difference between "there is" and "there are" for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
