Correcting “There Is” Usage in English

Understanding the difference between “there is” and “there are” is key to speaking fluent English. In this video, we tackle a common grammar mistake: using “there is” with plural subjects.

The scene starts at a busy event. Dave says, “There is many people,” which is incorrect because “people” is a plural subject. Grace steps in to correct him, explaining that we should use “there are” for plural nouns.

Here are the correct responses:
• “There are many people.”
• “There’s a big crowd.”
• “There are lots of people.”

By practicing these phrases, you’ll gain confidence in using “there are” properly in everyday conversations. Small grammar adjustments like this make a big difference in fluency.
