Explicação:

There is x There are

As formas there is e there are são usadas em inglês para indicar a existência de algo.

A diferença entre there is e there are é que there is é a forma utilizada no singular e there are, a forma utilizada no plural.

Em português, embora considerado incorreto, é muito comum utilizarmos o verbo “ter” para expressar essa ideia de existência.

A melhor forma de fazer a tradução e compreender o que significa there is e o que significa there are, é através do uso dos verbos haver ou existir.

Veja os exemplos de quando usar there is e there are.

Exemplos:

There is a girl in the classroom. (Há uma menina na sala de aula.)

There are two boys in the car. (Há dois meninos no carro.)
