There Is and There Are — Mind map, English, Grade 5
Excerpt from the material
There Is and There Are Use these forms to say that something exists or is present, and connect your examples to support a clear description. One or More Use “there is” with one person or thing and “there are” with more than one. The noun after the verb helps you choose the form. Choose the Form Plural Noun Count the Noun Identify the thing being described, then decide whether it is one or more than one. Do not choose the form from a nearby noun in another part of the sentence. Sentence Order Begin with “there is” or “there are,” then name the person or thing and add its place or another detail. This order makes the description easy to follow. Complete the Description Useful Details Add a place phrase such as “in the room” or “under the table.” A detail should explain where something is, not change whether its noun is singular or plural. Say What Is Absent Use “there is not” or “there are not” to say something is absent. Match the form to the noun, just as you do in an affirmative sentence. Choose a Negative Short Negative Ask About Presence To ask whether something is present, put “is” or “are” before “there.” Use “is” for one item and “are” for more than one.
