Perkara penting
- 1Ayat tanya Is there / Are there dibina dengan mengalihkan kata kerja be ke hadapan there, dan susunan kata itulah satu-satunya peraturan.
- 2Dalam jawapan pun there mesti dimasukkan semula, jadi ingatlah hal ini. (X: Yes, is. / O: Yes, there is.)
- 3Dalam ayat tanya, a / any biasanya diletakkan di hadapan kata nama supaya kedengaran wajar, jadi hafallah kelaziman ini. (Contoh: Is there any milk?)
- 4Untuk menanyakan kuantiti, patuhilah susunan kata How many + jamak + are there dan How much + kata nama yang tidak boleh dibilang + is there, jadi hafallah peraturan ini.
- 5Bagi kata nama yang tidak boleh dibilang sentiasa digunakan Is there dan bukan Are there, jadi patuhilah peraturan ini.
