it is
there is
there are
It is brukes om
Merk: I alle setningene hvor it is er foreløpig subjekt kan det i en omskrevet kontrollsetning, slik eksemplene viser, utelates .
There is (entall) og there are (flertall) brukes når det er kan erstattes med det finnes.
Entall
There is a demonstration outside the Parliament.
There is only one pupil present today.
Flertall
There are so many tourists in London in July.
There are a lot of new books that look interesting.
Husk: Hvis disse setningene gjøres om til spørsmål, endres bare ordstillingen. Regelen gjelder fremdeles.
Entall
Is there a demonstration outside the Parliament
Is there only one pupil present today?
