"there is" vs "there are"

[Swanitta]

hello everyone :)

i would like to know what's the structure of there is and there are.

Can i say there + verb to be + object?
or
there is + object /there are + object

thanks in advance! :)

Hello, Swanitta. Could you give some examples illustrating your problem? I am not quite sure of your question.

Hello Mister Micawber,
i am analyzing the target language ' there is' used for uncountable and countable sing nouns and 'there are' used with countable plural nouns. ex: There's a banana .
When it comes to the sturcture , should i say: there+verb to be+ object or there is+ uncountable/count sing nouns
Thank you so much for your time

I think that you can say either one, Swanitta. the word itself is a singular noun, and its function is as a complement (not an object). 'Object' is usually used for action verbs, not the copula 'be'.
