Hello everyone, and welcome back to my channel, Sparkle English, where I teach
you how to improve your level of English. In today's lesson I'm going to teach you about
there is and there are. In the future tense, we say there will be.
So first I'm going to show you the difference between there is, there are, and there will be. We
use there is and there are to say that something exists or doesn't exist. In the present tense, we
use there is or there's plus a singular noun. For example, there is one cake, or there's one cake.
And with plural nouns we use there are. There are two cakes. Now, if we're talking about the future,
and we want to talk about how many cakes are at the party, in the future, we say
there will be. There will be two cakes. So, in the future tense we use there will be
with singular nouns and plural nouns. For example, there will be a meeting tomorrow.
And again, with plural nouns, it stays the same. There will be cupcakes at the party.
Let's look at some more examples with there will be. Now, you can shorten there will to "there'll".
So there will be or there'll be. There'll is a contraction for there will. So for example,
there will be an exam tomorrow, or there'll be an exam tomorrow.
There will be four students in the classroom. There'll be four students in the classroom.
There will be blue skies tomorrow. There'll be vegetarian food at the wedding.
Now let's look at the negative form of there will be. We say there won't be. We do not say
"there willn't be" because "willn't" is not a word. You say there won't. That is the contraction
for will not. So in the future tense, we use there won't be plus a singular or plural noun,
or there will not be. For example, there won't be live music at the club tonight.
There will not be towels at the hotel, so we'll have to bring our own. Again, you can say there
will not be or there won't be. Now how do we ask questions? We don't say is there or are there if
we're asking about the future. We say "Will there be?" Will there be plus a singular or plural noun.
For example, will there be snacks at the party? Will there be panda bears at the zoo?
Okay, so now let's practice there will be.
Imagine there is a party tomorrow, and these are the things that will be at the party. I want you
to fill in the blanks for these six questions. Number one: _____ many people. Number two: _____
any children. Number three: _____ balloons and decorations. Number four: _____ music and dancing.
Number five: _____ any food or snacks? Finally number six: _____ any pets.
So let's answer these together. Number one, there will be or there'll be many people.
Number two, there won't be any children. We don't have any children in that picture.
Number three, there will be or there'll be balloons and decorations.
And again, number four, there will be or there'll be music and dancing.
Now number five, we have to ask the question. Will there be? Will there be
any food or snacks? And finally, number six is also negative. There won't be or there will not be
any pets. Okay, so let me know in the comments section how many you got correct out of six.
