USE OF “THERE & IT”
- The sentence begins with “there” when we have to show the presence or absence of something or someplace. After “there’’ we write “is, or was” for a singular noun and “are, or “were” for a plural noun.
- In negative sentences, “no or not” is used after “is, are, was & were”.
- In interrogative sentences, “is, are, was & were” come in beginning, and a sign of the question mark “?” is used at the end of the sentence.
- In sentences, when the words “here & there” are used to show the presence or absence of something, the same comes at the end of a sentence.
