Grammar 2
There is, there are, some, any

❖ In English grammar we use “there is” or “there are” to talk about things
we can see and things that exist.
❖ We use “there is” for singular and uncountable nouns, and we use
“there are” for plural countable nouns.

Some
❖ With plural countable nouns we can either give the quantity (“five
people”) or use “some” if we don’t know the exact quantity.
e.g., There are five people in the office.” (We can see five people
exactly)
“There are some people in the office.” (We don’t know
exactly how many people)

❖ With uncountable nouns, we also use “some”.

e.g., “There’s some milk in the fridge,” (I don’t know the exact quantity.)
“There’s some money in my wallet.” (I don’t know exactly how
much money.)
Remember: with singular countable nouns we use a/an, the, or another determiner
or pronoun – not “some”.

Negative form and use any Question form and using “any”
1. Add not or n’t to the end of the verb 2. To make a question, change the word
order from subject-verb to verb-subject:
Countable Uncountable Countable Countable
for plural, countable nouns use For uncountable There is a + singular There is some +
“any” after “aren’t”. nouns, use “any” noun = Is there a +
uncountable noun = Is
after the negative singular noun?
“isn’t”, there any +
uncountable noun?
e.g., e.g., e.g., “Is there any time to
There isn’t a freezer in the “There isn’t any
“Is there a toilet on this go shopping?”
kitchen.” (singular, countable money in my wallet.”
noun) (uncountable noun) train?”
