There is a structure called “There be” in English to indicate the existence of something or someone at a certain place. Structure 1: “There is” + singular countable noun or uncountable noun + locative adverb. Structure 2: “There are” + plural noun + locative adverb. “There” is a introducing word and does not function as any part of speech in the sentence, so it does not need to be translated. The verb “be” should agree with the number of the subject. When the subject consists of two or more nouns, the verb should agree with the closest noun.
