Section One: Structure ~ There is and There are ~ Discuss the structures
“There” is a grammatical marker. Think of it as a signal (like a street sign). It has no meaning but points to a noun that exists in a certain place.
This grammar may or may not be a part of your own language system.
Singular case: There is a movie poster on my bedroom wall. Plural case: There are ten plants in my living room.
Remember that every language has a unique structure and vocabulary. Some elements are the same, and others are different from your native language.
