“There is”, “there are” y los tiempos verbales
La estructura es fácil, basta con conjugar el verbo “to be” en el tiempo que deseas usar:
THERE + VERBO TO BE

Veamos algunos ejemplos en el Simple Present y en el Simple Past:

There is/ There’s one chair in the room.
(Hay una silla en la habitación.)
Last night there was a bird on my window.
(Anoche había un pájaro en mi ventana.)
There were few people at the meeting yesterday.
(Había pocas personas en la reunión de ayer.)
En el Simple Future (futuro simple), la estructura es igual para el singular y el plural, porque conjugamos el verbo TO BE en el futuro y, en este tiempo verbal, no varía:

THERE + WILL + BE

Tomorrow there will be two music festivals in Spain.
(Mañana habrá dos festivales de música en España.)
They say next week there will be lots of parties.
(Dicen que la próxima semana habrá muchas fiestas.)

En la formas negativa e interrogativa

Para formar frases negativas, basta añadir el NOT inmediatamente después del uso de la expresión.

There are not/ There aren’t enough hours in the day.
(No hay suficientes horas en el día.)

There were not/ there weren’t Astrology books at the library.
(No había libros de astrología en la biblioteca.)

Next month there will not/won’t be any holiday.
(El próximo mes, no habrá ningún festivo.)

Para formar cualquier pregunta en inglés, basta con invertir el orden de la estructura de las frases afirmativas y colocar el auxiliar delante del sujeto (en el caso, ‘there’). En el presente y en el pasado, el verbo to be es el propio auxiliar. En el futuro, el auxiliar es ‘will’.

AUXILIAR + THERE + …?

Is there a drugstore near your school?
(¿Hay una farmacia cerca de tu escuela?)

Were there four or five people on the room?
(¿Había cuatro o cinco personas en la sala?)

Will there be a new season of this show?
(¿Habrá una nueva temporada de este programa?)

UNIDAD V The imperative Commands and orders The  imperative  is used to give commands and orders. The form of the verb used for the imperative is the  base form  of the main verb, which is used without a subject. Walk   to the corner,   turn   right, and   cross   the road. Open   your mouth and   say   ‘Aaaah’. Although the main feature of sentences in the imperative is that they have no  grammatical  subject, they do have an  understood  subject,  ‘you ’. The basic form of the imperative remains the same whether it is addressed to one or more people. Come on,   Mary ; I’m waiting. Come on,   girls ; you’re late. There is also a special type of imperative, using  let’s , that is used when you need to include the speaker. See  The imperative . The word order of a sentence in the imperative is:     verb  +  object  (if needed). The negative imperative is made with  do  +  not  or  don’t . Don’t lose   that key. Do not come back   without it! The uses of the impe

UNIDAD IV                         ADVERVS OF FRECURNCY unidadWe use adverbs of frequency – like  sometimes  or  usually  – to say  how often  we do things, or how often  things happen. I never have any problems with adverbs of frequency. OK, let's see what you know. We use adverbs of frequency in this order, according to their meaning. 100%           0% always usually/normally often sometimes occasionally hardly ever never Are there any missing? I think that’s most of them. You could include  frequently , with  usually . We use  not very often  too. Very good, you’re right. These are the most common adverbs, although there are more. They  always  hang out together. The Northern Lights are  usually  green. You  normally  see them best in September or March. It’s  often  cloudy. What do you notice about the position of the adverbs? They are  usually before  the  main verb , or between the auxiliary and the main verb. But they come  after  the ve
