0:06I am Superlexia, the guardian of
0:09spelling and grammar. Will you help me
0:12defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by
0:14following the rules?
0:17Today's mission, there is and there are.
0:24We use there is and there are to talk
0:28about things we can see or know exist in
0:31a place.
0:33For example, there are two socks on my
0:38head.
0:40There is a spider on my pizza.
0:46Wait. Oh no. There is a spider on your
0:50pizza. Yuck.
0:53Yes, there is smiley and I need your
0:57help to talk about it. So, let's begin.
1:03First of all, we use there is to talk
1:06about one thing.
1:09For example, there is a cat in my
1:12backpack.
1:16There is a banana on my shoulder.
1:20Or we can use the contraction there's if
1:23we prefer.
1:27We use there are for two or more things.
1:33For example, there are three slices of
1:36tomato in my sandwich.
1:41There are three frogs in the bathroom.
1:47But what if the frogs are not in the
1:50bathroom?
1:51[Music]
1:53Easy peasy, Smiley. We use there is not
1:57for one thing or there are not for two
2:01or more things.
2:03For example, there is not a penguin in
2:07the kitchen.
2:10There are not any frogs in the bathroom.
2:15Or we can use the contractions there
2:18isn't or there aren't if we like.
2:24Now think what if we want to ask a
2:28question. H
2:31you guessed it.
2:34We use is there to ask about one thing
2:38and we use are there to ask about two or
2:42more things.
2:44For example, is there a monkey on the
2:47bus?
2:48[Music]
2:50Are there cookies in your shoes?
2:53[Music]
2:55Ew. I hope not.
3:00Okay, now let's practice.
3:04Complete the sentences.
3:07There a robot in the garden.
3:22There is because we are talking about
3:25only one thing
3:30there. M three cupcakes on the table.
3:34There are only two.
3:47There are not because there are only two
3:50cupcakes. Or you can use the contraction
3:54there aren't.
3:59How many zebras m in the classroom?
4:14are there because we are asking a
4:17question about more than one zebra.
4:21Great work.
4:23Farewell, fellow language warriors. May
4:26your pizzas be forever spider free.
