There + to be significa “haver” e apresenta duas formas em inglês: there is – singular e

there are – plural. A forma negativa faz-se com a palavra not (ex.: There is not a lamp
here.).
Para formar a interrogativa, coloca-se is ou are em primeiro lugar (ex.: Is there a lamp
here? / Are there lamps here?).
As prepositions of place (preposições de lugar), como at, in front of, behind, under…,
indicam onde algo se situa. Deves saber muito bem o seu significado para que as possas
aplicar corretamente.
