ОБОРОТ THERE + BE

Оборот There is/are указывает на наличие (или отсутствие) какого-либо не называвшегося ранее предмета или лица в определенном месте. Английскому предложению с такой кострукцией соответствует русское предложение, которое обычно начинается с обстоятельства места.

После конструкции there is/are исчисляемые существительные в единственном числе употребляются с неопределенным артиклем, а исчисляемые существительные во множественном числе и неисчисляемые существительные - с местоимениями some, any.

There is a telephone in that room.(В той комнате есть телефон.)

There are some students in the library.

(В библиотеке несколько студентов.)

Оборот There is/are не имеет самостоятельного значения, поэтому при переводе на английский язык русских предложений, в которых обстоятельство место выражено наречием ' там' , необходимо в конце предложения употребляется наречие there.

There are some students there. (Там несколько студентов.)

REMEMBER:

1.There is not much coffee in my cup - 'not' употребляется ,когда перед подлежащим стоит числительное или слово much, many.

2. There is no lamp on my desk - в остальных случаях после 'no' артикль не употребляется.

I. Put in am, is or are.
