Hi Avril,
This sentence is fine. You could change it slightly (but it's not really necessary) to:
There are some trees in a park near my house, which my daughter loves climbing. This creates a better sense of balance.

Your version surely creates a better sense of balance, but I Knew that when we tell people that something exists (or does not exist), we use "there is / there are etc.". So, I thought that the sentence should be "Near my house THERE is a park where there are some trees which my daughter loves climbing." In other words, is it possible to say "Near my house IS a park..."? |

Dear Rudra, they correspond to "going to" and "got to". They're mailny used in informal language. Anyway, if you want other members to give their (better) contribution, you should post your request as "new topic". I checked my topic (there is vs is) because I thought Alan, the expert who kindly answered my first question, had some further explanations for me. Bye, Avril |
