En la lección de hoy vamos a ver cómo se utiliza la partícula “there + be”. En este caso, utilizamos “there + be” para hablar sobre la existencia de algo.
Para ello, tenemos que tener en cuenta que el sujeto real se sitúa después del verbo.
Ejemplo:
- There is a pencil. (Hay un lápiz.)
“There + be” se puede expresar en todos los tiempos verbales. También tenemos que fijarnos que algunos tiempos tienen una conjugación diferente para el singular y el plural.
Y recordad, que utilizamos there is para casos en singular y there are para casos en plural. Si tenéis alguna duda de su uso, siempre podéis ver la lección en este enlace.
