 There is vs. there are
Use there is when the noun is singular (“There is a cat”).
Use there are when the noun is plural (“There are two cats”).

In most sentences,
the noun comes
before the verb. But
in sentences that
begin with there
is and there are, the
noun comes later.

porch.
-There are many
opportunities to learn
at this company.
