[Middle English, from Old English thr, thr; see to- in Indo-European roots.]

Usage Note: The standard rule states that when the pronoun there precedes a verb such as be, seem, or appear, the verb agrees in number with the following grammatical subject: There is a great Italian deli across the street. There are fabulous wildflowers in the hills. There seems to be a blueberry pie cooking in the kitchen. There seem to be a few trees between the green and me. Nonetheless, it is common in speech for the contraction there's to be used when technically a plural verb is called for, as in There's a couple of good reasons for going. The Usage Panel dislikes this construction, however. Seventy-nine percent reject the sentence There's only three things you need to know about this book. But when there's is followed by a compound subject whose first element is singular, the Panel feels differently: 56 percent accept the sentence In each of us there's a dreamer and a realist, and an additional 32 percent accept it in informal usage. The Panel is even more accepting of the sentence When you get to the stop light, there's a gas station on the left and a grocery store on the right; 58 percent accept it in formal use, while an additional 37 percent accept it in informal use. Although this usage would seem to violate the rules of subject and verb agreement, the attraction of the verb to the singular noun phrase following it is so strong that it is difficult to avoid the construction entirely. · There may be used as an intensive adjective when placed after a noun preceded by that, but it is considered nonstandard to place there between that and the noun. Thus that there dress is not an acceptable substitute for that dress there. This here is similarly considered nonstandard.

adv

in, at, or to that place, point, case, or respect we never go there I'm afraid I disagree with you there

pron

a.  an expression used when handing a person something requested or desired

b.  an exclamation of triumph there you are, I knew that would happen!

n

interj

an expression of sympathy, as in consoling a child

[Old English thǣr; related to Old Frisian thēr, Old Saxon, Old High German thār, Old Norse, Gothic thar]

Usage: In correct usage, the verb should agree with the number of the subject in such constructions as there is a man waiting and there are several people waiting. However, where the subject is compound, it is common in speech to use the singular as in there's a police car and an ambulance outside

• Unlike there is/are , hay, hubo, había, ha habido do not change to reflect number:

There may be a strike Puede haber or Puede que haya huelga There must be all sorts of things we could do Tiene que haber muchas cosas que podamos hacer

• If there is/there are is followed by the, you should normally not use hay . Use estar instead:

And then there are the neighbours to consider Están también los vecinos, a los que hay que tener en cuenta There is also the question of the money transfer Está también la cuestión de la transferencia del dinero

• Hay should only be used to talk about existence and occurrence. Don't use it to talk about location. Use estar instead to say where things are:

After the shop there's the bus station Después de la tienda está la estación de autobuses

• Don't use hay to translate phrases like there are four of us, there will be six of them. Instead, use ser in the relevant person:

There are four of us Somos cuatro There will be six of them Serán seis

• Remember to use que in the construction hay algo que hacer (there is sth to do):

There is a lot to do Hay mucho que hacer What is there to do? ¿Qué hay que hacer?
