There is / There are

Estas expresiones se utilizan para expresar la cantidad de objetos o personas que se encuentran en un determinado lugar.

Ambas formas significan "Hay". La diferencia es que la primera se utiliza para el singular y la segunda para el plural.

Singular:   There is a chair in the bedroom.                 Hay una silla en el dormitorio.

Plural:   There are two chairs in the bedroom.             Hay dos sillas en el dormitorio.

En el primer caso, se hace referencia a una silla, por lo que debe usarse la forma singular.

En el segundo caso, se hace referencia a más de una silla, por lo tanto se usa la forma plural.

Some / Any

Para referirse a sustantivos incontables directamente, se usan las palabras some y any.

Como norma general, some se aplica en las oraciones afirmativas, mientras que any se usa en las oraciones interrogativas y negativas.

Interrogativa:  Is there any sugar?                       ¿Hay azúcar?

Negativa:     No, there isn't any sugar.                  No, no hay nada de azúcar.

Afirmativa:   Yes, there is some sugar.                     Sí, hay algo de azúcar.

• Estas palabras también pueden usarse con sustantivos contables...

Is there any pencil?Hay algún lápiz?

Yes, there are some pencils.Sí, hay algunos lápices.

No, there isn't any pencil.No, no hay ningún lápiz.

Ejemplos: I live --> he lives ;  You drive --> she drives ;  We run --> It runs.

2.- Al verbo se le añade -es cuando termina en -s / -ch / -sh/ -x/ -o/

Ejemplos: pass = passes ; watch = watches ; finish = finishes ; fix = fixes; go=goes

3.- Los verbos que terminan en -y la convierten en -i y añaden -es.

Pero cuidado, porque la -y no se convierte en -i si la palabra termina en -ay/-ey/-oy/-uy.

Ejemplos: say = says; stay = stays; buy = buys
