Expressions with AvoirAvoiris used in the impersonal expression il y a, which means either “there is” or “there are.”Il y a is used to express the existence of a person or a thing, or to make a list of persons or things. We usually used the indefinite article (un, une, des) with il y a.Examples: il y a une plume sur la table. Il y a un crayon sur la table. Il y a des plumes et des crayons sur la table.The negative of il y a is iln'y a pas. The indefinite article (un une, des) becomes de or d' after this negative expression. This corresponds to the English word 'any.' Examples: Il n’y a pas de crayon sur la table.(There is not any pencil on the table.)Il n’y a pas de plume sur la table. (There is not any pen on the table.)Il n’y a pas d’étoiledans le ciel. (There is not any star in the sky.)
