  • Episode #57: There Is/ There Are
    May 6 2024

    In Episode #56, Tim explained the five meanings of the verb be: description, equality, location in space, location in time and other. The verb BE however also appears in the most common two-word expression in English: there is/ there are. The meaning of there is changes depending on if we use indefinite articles or definite ones after it. That's right- there is a has a rather different meaning than there is the- and Tim explains the difference between them.
