This document provides examples and explanations for using "there is/are" in affirmative, negative, and question forms. It discusses using "there is" for singular countable nouns and uncountable nouns, and "there are" for plural countable nouns. Examples are given for affirmative statements with quantifiers like "a", "some", "several", and "no". The negative forms "there isn't/aren't" and "there is no" are also covered. Yes/no questions are formed using "be + there". Questions beginning with "how many" or "how much" can have answers with quantifiers or statements of amounts.
