THERE ARE MANY BOOKS IN THE BOOKSTORE

In English, we often use the phrase "There are" to talk about the existence of multiple things. For example, "There are many books in the bookstore" means that you can find a large number of books inside the bookstore. This structure helps us describe places and what we see or find in them.

Examples:

• There are many chairs in the room.

• There are apples in the basket.

• There are students in the classroom.

We use "there is" for singular things and "there are" for plural things.
