Nesta primeira lesson, veremos:

1. There is and There are

2. There is and There are - structure

1. THERE IS AND THERE ARE

Quando queremos dizer que algo existe em determinada situação ou

espaço, usamos There + verb to be, como se fosse o verbo “haver” em
português! Se estivermos falando sobre apenas um indivíduo ou
objeto, usamos There is. Mais de uma pessoa ou objeto devemos
utilizar o There are.

In this picture…
There are cars
Take a look at Amy’s routine There are clouds
There are buildings
There is a river
There aren’t any people
 In this picture…
There is a man
There is a woman
There are two girls
There is a boy
There are five people
There is an animal
There is a horse
There are hats

Example:

● There is a (one) cat on the street.

● There are three cats on the street.

IMPORTANT:

Nunca use “have” para falar sobre a

existência de algo.

Have a cat on the street.

2. THERE IS AND THERE ARE - STRUCTURE

● Affirmative - There is / There are + complement

● Negative - There isn’t / There aren’t + complement
● Questions - Is there / Are there + complement + ?

Examples:

● There aren’t any people here.

PLURALS

Os plurais são fáceis de formar em inglês! Take a look:

1) In most cases, add an -s to the end.

● cars, bicycles, elephants

2) In words ending in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o, or -z, add ‑es

● churches, buses, glasses, boxes, potatoes

3) In words ending in consonant + -y, remove the -y and add -ies

● bakeries (bakery), families (family), cities (city)

4) Most words ending in -f change to -ves in their plural form.

● Wolves (wolf), leaves (leaf), wives (wife)

5) Some words don’t change

● fish - fish
● series - series
● sheep - sheep

Important: A palavra “fish”, como dito na Rule #5, não muda

quando colocada no plural. De maneira geral, seguimos
essa regra no inglês do dia a dia, entretanto, num contexto
mais científico ou biológico, para diferenciar espécies
diferentes de peixes, a palavra no plural é fishes. Check out
some examples:

● There are 5 fish in the bowl. (5 peixes da mesma espécie)

● There are 5 fishes in the bowl. (5 peixes de espécies diferentes)

There is 1 fish in the bowl.

 There are some There are a few
exceptions to words exceptions:
ending in -o, like:
● Belief - beliefs
● photos ● Chef - chefs
● pianos ● Roof - roofs

Algumas palavras são irregulares, então sua forma no plural muda:

● child – children
● man – men
● woman – women
● tooth – teeth
● foot – feet
● mouse – mice
● person – people

Algumas palavras não têm plural, porque são incontáveis, como:

● Water

○ I need water! (not waters)

● Milk

○ Do you want some milk? (not milks)

● Money

○ Here’s your money. (not moneys)

Examples:

● There are a lot of mice in my basement!

● I caught three fish today!
● What are your favorite series?
● The children are playing outside.
● There are wolves in this area.
 ● Where are the potatoes?
● I want to see the elephants!

Real examples:

● “Add two more mice to each group.” - Module 3: Biological and

Technical Replicates.
● “In California we don't have a water problem.” - The Open Mind:
We’re All Made of Stars - Moby.
● “Education: that's where we put a lot of money.” - Alain de
Botton: Ateísmo 2.0.
● “Treat each other like we're little children.” - Why Do We Fall In
Love?
