Hello my friends...Here I am again...
When I have to explain the use of there is and there are I usually say that there is is for singular and uncountable things, and there are for plural, but for couple of times I have found myself tinking about it because sometimes in my concept it would be one and in the text I see the other,...am I wrong in my concept or there are different situations for the use of it.
tks a lot have a nice week everyone...
Elaine

.
Sometimes notional accord with the predicate dominates, but your rule generally holds.
