Hello Fahrul,
Baik "there is" maupun "there are" artinya sama yakni "ada". Namun penggunaannya berbeda:
"there is" selalu diikuti dengan benda tunggal (single) atau jumlah nya hanya satu. Kata benda tunggal umumnya diikuti artikel a atau an diawal kata
Contoh: a book, a car, a student, a pencil, a bag, a lamp, an umbrella, an apple, an eye, an hour dan lain sebagainya.
Contoh kalimat:
- There is a glass on table
- There is 1 set of kitchen tool in the kitchen
- There is a dress for your party on the bed!
- There is an apple in refrigerator
- There is an owl on the tree
Contoh kalimat lengkap:
- ( + ) There is a beautiful girl there
- ( – ) There is not a beautiful girl there
- ( ? ) Is there a beautiful girl there?
- ( + ) There is a smart teacher in Dinda’s school
- ( – ) There is not a smart teacher in Dinda’s school
- ( ? ) Is there a smart teacher in Dinda’s school?
- ( + ) There is an umbrella in my room
- ( – ) There is not an umbrella in my room
- ( ? ) Is there an umbrella in your room?
- ( + ) There is just only 1 game in my computer
- ( – ) There is not just only 1 game in my computer
- ( ? ) Is there just only 1 game in your computer?
- ( + ) I think there is a famous barber in Jakarta
- ( – ) I think there is not a famous barber in Jakarta
- ( ? ) Do you think Is there any a famous barber in Jakarta?
"there are" pasti selalu diikuti dengan benda yang jumlahnya jamak atau lebih dari satu. Kata benda berjumlah jamak umumnya ditandai dengan akhiran s atau es di akhir kata
Contoh: books, students, pencils, cars, boxes, watches dan masih banyak lagi contoh lainnya.
Namun, perlu diketahui bahwa ada juga kata benda yang tidak beraturan. Maksudnya adalah tidak semua benda berjumlah jamak atau lebih dari satu ditandai dengan s atau es di akhir kata.
Contoh: children, mice, deer, geese dan lainnya.
Contoh kalimat:
- There are some children in our classroom
- There are three pictures on the wall
- I think there are six cars outside
- There are some boxes in the shop
- There are five kinds of flowers in the garden
Contoh kalimat lengkap:
- ( + ) There are some books on the bookshelf
- ( – ) There are not some books on the bookshelf
- ( ? ) Are there some books on the bookshelf?
- ( + ) Tomorrow will be the happy day at dancer club. There are will be ten new members
- ( – ) Tomorrow will not be the happy day at dancer club. There are not will be ten new members
- ( ? ) Are there will be the happy day and ten new members at dancer club tomorrow?
- ( + ) There are some students in the school
- ( – ) There are not some students in the school
- ( ? ) Are there some students in the school?
- ( + ) Oh no, there are two mice at my kitchen
