Info 1: "There is" and "There are"

Para hablar de la existencia de algo en presente, se usan las expresiones there is y there are. There is se emplea con sustantivos en singular o incontables y there are con sustantivos en plural.

Info 2: "There was" and "There were"

There was y there were son la forma en pasado simple de there is y there are. Solo hay que conjugar el verbo to be que acompaña a there para formar estas nuevas expresiones, que se usan para hablar de la existencia de un objeto en el pasado. ​Al igual que en presente, para formar el negativo de there was y there were solo hay que añadir not después del verbo to be.
