There is / there are

Lesson 15 of 84

A1

Yahan / wahan koi cheez hai. Point karke naam = topic 14 this / that. Hunar / kar sakna = topic 16 can.

1. Kya hai

Hindi "hai / hain" kabhi paas hona, kabhi jagah, kabhi "yahan koi cheez hai". English me "yahan / wahan hai" ke liye there is / there are.

Use Example
There is / There are cheez yahan / wahan hai There is a pen on the table.
This is / That is point karke naam (topic 14) This is a pen.
I have / She has paas hona (topic 06) I have a pen.

Tariqa: There + is/are + noun + place. There yahan jagah ka word nahi — sentence shuru karne wala word.

2. is / are

Ek cheez (ek-ek gin sakte ho) → there is + a / an. Do ya zyada → there are + plural.

Positive Negative Question
1 (singular) There is a shop. There isn't a shop. Is there a shop?
2+ (plural) There are two shops. There aren't two shops. Are there two shops?

Short: There's a shop = There is a shop. Writing me plural ke liye There're almost nahi — There are likho.

Short answer (topic 05 jaisa, poora words): Yes, there is. / No, there isn't. Yes, there are. / No, there aren't. Yes, there's short answer me nahi.

Pani, doodh, chai jaise cheezen (pani jaise nahi ginte): There is water — poora rule topic 20. some / any / many bhi topic 20.

3. Past — there was / there were

was / were topic 09 se. Kal / pehle "yahan tha": ek → there was; bahut → there were.

Positive Negative Question
1 There was a fair yesterday. There wasn't a fair. Was there a fair?
2+ There were two buses. There weren't two buses. Were there two buses?

4. Examples
