There is / There are

We use There is / There are to say that something exists (or does not exist). The real subject usually comes after There is/ There are.

1) Use "There is" for singular nouns and things you cannot count.
Examples:
There is a river in my town

There is a ghost in this room....

There is an apple on the desk

There is ice on the lake

There is oil on the pavement

2) Use "There are" for plural nouns; that is to say, we use there are with a plural subject.
Examples:
There are two parks in my neighbourhood
There are 600 students in this school
There are four windows in my room

3) To say the opposite, (the negative form of this structure), use isn't (is + not) or aren't (are + not)

Examples:
There isn't a telephone in the kitchen
There isn't a balcony
There isn`t an orange on the table
There isn't ice on the lake
There aren`t chairs in my room
There aren´t two pictures on the wall. Just one

4) To make questions, (to ask whether something exists or it doesn`t) just change the order of there is and there are......
Examples: Ejemplos:
Is there a balcony in the flat?
Is there a Post Office near hear?
Yes, there is
No, there isn`t
Are there two telephone lines? Yes, there are No, there aren`t

5) To express the idea of quantity, we usually have to use "some" and ''any" with there is and there are. This happens when we have to mention an unspecified amount of something, for example, when we are using uncountable nouns.

We generally use some for positive statements, and any for negative and interrogative ones.

Examples: (positive statements)
There is some water in the bottle
There is some milk in the jar
There are some letters for you
There are some cupboards under the sink
(negative statements)
There isn`t any bread in the basket
There isn't any wine in the fridge
There aren`t any apples
There aren`t any tomatoes
There aren`t any oranges....Wow!!!The fridge is empty
(interrogative statements) (oraciones interrogativas)
Is there any sugar in the sugar pot? ¿Hay algo de azúcar en la azucarera?
Is there any cool water in the fridge? ¿ Hay algo de agua fresca en la heladera?
Is there any quiet place around here? ¿Hay algún lugar tranquilo por aquí?
Are there any glasses in the cupboard? ¿Hay algunos vasos en la alacena?
Are there any chairs in your room? ¿Hay sillas en tu habitación?
Are there any bottles to throw away? ¿Hay algunas botellas para tirar?

Complete with there is and there are

_____There is______ a lot of traffic in Valencia.

1) _____Is there_______ anywhere to park around here?

2) ______There is_______ much sugar.

3) ______Is there_____ enough time to finish?

4) ______There are______ a few bananas and a few apples.

Los artículos determinados Ingleses
son las palabras que usamos para definir al nombre (específicamente). En inglés sólo tenemos un artículo determinado, estamos hablando de la palabra "the". El artículo inglés siempre precederá al nombre al que está determinando.

Ejemplo

The dog.
El perro (artículo + nombre)
The white house on the green hill.
La casa blanca sobre la colina verde (artículo + adjetivo + nombre + preposición + artículo + adjetivo + nombre)

A diferencia del español, en inglés no distinguimos entre las formas de masculino y femenino, singular y plural en los artículos y adjetivos. Así que el artículo inglés "the" es el equivalente a los artículos españoles "EL, LA, LOS, LAS". Esta única forma "the" se usa con toda clase de nombres, singular, plural, contables e incontables.

Los artículos indeterminados Ingleses son las palabras que usamos para definir al nombre (generalmente). En inglés tenemos dos artículos indeterminados, estamos hablando de las palabras "a" y "an". En inglés el artículo siempre va a preceder al nombre al que está determinando.

Ejemplo

A dog.
A white house on a green hill.
Una casa blanca sobre una colina verde

A diferencia del español, en inglés no distinguimos entre las formas de masculino y femenino, singular y plural en los artículos y adjetivos . Así que los artículos ingleses "a" y "an " son los equivalentes a los artículos españoles "UN, UNA, UNOS, UNAS". Usamos "A" delante de nombres que empiezan por consonante.
The Time - La Hora
Para preguntar qué hora es se pueden utilizar las formas:
What time is it?
What's the time?
A lo que se responde con: It's + la hora.
It's nine o'clock.
Para decir la hora, se usan algunas palabras clave.
o'clock: Para decir la hora exacta.
It's four o'clock.
Son las cuatro en punto.

past: Para decir la hora hasta pasados los 30 primeros minutos.
It's ten past four.
Son las cuatro y diez.

to: Para decir la hora pasados los 30 primeros minutos.
It's ten to five.
Son las cinco menos diez.

half past: Para decir "y media".
It's half past five.
Son las cinco y media.

quarter past: Para decir "y cuarto".
It's quarter past five.
Son las cinco y cuarto.

quarter to: Para decir "menos cuarto".
It's quarter to five.
Son las cinco menos cuarto.
08:00 08:05
eight o'clock five past eight

08:10 08:15
ten past eight quarter past eight

08:20 08:25
twenty past eight twenty-five past eight

08:30 08:35
