AJIT SINGH ENGLISH TRAINER

RULE # 1
When the Noun is associated with undefined person or object and that is Subject of To Be Verb, in that case we generally use There before Verb. In this way There introduces the Real Subject instead of being real Subject. E.g. There was a large crowd in the market. Is there no bridge on this river? Was there no one to help?

In Present Tense with Singular Subject we use There Is and with the Plural Subject we use There Are. E.g. There is a bank behind my house. There are many trees in my garden. There is a cinema in our town. There are many jobs in Delhi.

In Past Tense with Singular Subject we use There Was and with Plural Subject we use There Were. E.g. There was a mango tree in my courtyard. There were many students in the class. There was a pen in my bag. There were ten computers in the lab.
