THERE IS-THERE ARE



Here you can have some practice on "there is" and "there are".

"There is" means "hay" used with singular nouns, as in "There is a notebook on the table"

"There are" means "hay" used with plural nouns, as in "there are notebooks on the table".

But you must be very careful not to confuse "It is" and "there is" or "They are" and "there are"






Thereis/it is    they are /there are

" It is " means "es, está" or "hace" as in "It is hot" (Hace calor).
We cannot say "there is hot"

" They are " means "son, estan". "They are tall" (son altos), They're cold (tienen frío).
We cannot say "There are cold" or "There are tall"

VERB TO HAVE-PRESENT





Here is the present of the verb "to have", or "have got". It means "tener" as in "I have a car" , but it can also mean "tomar" as in "I'm having breakfast" or "He has a shower everyday". You must be careful because the particle "got" may be used when you want to mean  "tener" as in "I have got a car", but we must not use it when we mean "tomar" as in "he has got a shower everday"
