11. “There is” and “There are”. We use both of them to say that someone or something
exits. The difference is the use:
there is ( singular ) ---------- short form : there´s
there be
there are ( plural ) ------------ short form : no contraction

- There is a bag. There is a book. There is an eraser.
- There are two bags. There are four books. There are eight erasers.
Contractions:
There´s not a car. = There isn´t a car.
There aren´t three books.
• We can make affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences in a similar way as the
rules for the verb “be”.
( + ) There is a school. ( - ) There is not a school. ( ? ) Is there a school?
( + ) There are two schools. ( - ) There are not two schools. ( ? ) Are there two schools?

Note:
The past form of Regular and Irregular Verbs are the same
for any subject, even if it is in plural or singular.
- Time Expressions.
When the past tense is clear in a sentence, we don´t need anything else. However,
sometimes it is necessary to use time expressions in the past tense.
Here we have some of them:
- last night.
- last Saturday, last week, last month, last year.
- three hours ago, four days ago, five weeks ago, ten years ago.
- yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening.
- in 1987, in 2000.
- Exercises.
a. Make affirmative sentences in the past tense. Use the information in parentheses.
Note:
The past tense talks about an action already finished. So,
don´t be surprised if somebody says a sentence in the past
tense even today. Example: I visited my mother in the
morning.

advices.

2. Personal Pronouns: Object Pronouns. These pronouns are used to take place of a
direct object or an indirect object ( after a verb ) or an object ( after a preposition ). So,
they can never be the subject of a sentence, for a subject we use subject pronouns.
Let´s see this in the following chart, but just for their position in a sentence.
I me
You you
He him
She her
It It
We us
You you
They them
Note:
We should be very careful with the position of the pronouns in a
sentence to identify if they are subject or object pronouns.
- Object pronouns not only go after a verb, but also after a preposition.
Examples: This book is for him. Listen to me. She´s behind you.

- Listening.
Sing by Travis
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
Travis
Colder, crying over your shoulder,
Hold her, tell her everything's gonna be fine.
Surely, you've been going too hurry,
Hurry 'cos no-one's gonna be stopped.
Na na na na...
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing.
For the love you bring won't mean a thing.
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
Uhhh...Ahh ahh..uhhh...
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
