Hello and welcome back to "English Today". How
are you. Now, in that last episode of "That's life!" did you notice
that Anne described her office? And the most important thing for
Peter was what? The coffee machine!
Strange...
Now I want to look at the language that Anne
used. she used "there is a..." and "there are some", let me explain
that to you: if you have a single object, for example like a glass,
then we say: "There is a glass on the table" or "there is a hat on
the table" or "there is a computer on the table",
OK?
Now that changes when we have more than one
object, like these pens for example, we say "there are some pens on
the table", OK? "There are some pens on the table". And therefore
in this example here, books; "there are some books on the table",
"there are some CDs on the table". So you see how it
changes.
Now let's go and look at that on the screen.
you can see it written, so we said with singular objects we say:
"There is", examples are: "there's a computer in Anne's office".
"There isn't a fax machine" that's the negative. "There isn't fax
machine", "there's a table in the studio" and "there isn't a coffee
machine". Which Peter can't
believe.
Now look at the plural form: we say "there are
some office supplies in the office". And "there are some pens and
pencils", OK? And we also use that for the exact number of plural
objects, so for example: "there are two chairs in Anne's office"
and "there are four pictures" for example "in her studio". Alright?
So that's and introduction to "there is" and "there are some", now
in the next lesson we are going to look at the difference between
"some" and "any" which is very important so listen out for that in
the next episode and then come back here and we'll work on it,
alright? See you later! Bye!
