Confusing English Grammar: “THERE IS” or “THERE ARE”?

When do you say “there is” and “there are”? It’s more complex than you realize! In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use these common expressions at three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. After watching, you’ll know how to choose the right expression with countable and uncountable nouns, collective and irregular nouns, and with noun phrases. You’ll understand why we say “there is some equipment”, “there are some computers”, “there is a team of experts”, and more. Watch and communicate correctly in professional, academic, and social life. www.engvid.com/confusing-engl...

    Collective nouns can be both singular and plural. The difference *between collective nouns and other countable nouns is that after a singular group noun (especially in British English) there is often a choice between a singular and plural verb, for example: 'The crowd was/were delighted by the actor's performance.

    Rebecca, as a fellow English teacher, I find your videos very helpful in my classes. However, I caught something that you said that sounded incorrect. Around the 6:05 mark, you said, "Now, if it was countable, we would say, 'There are some computers.'" It appears that you failed to use the subjunctive verb tense form. You should have said, "Now, if it were countable, we would say, 'There are some computers.'" Another common error dealing with the subjunctive is with the verb "wish" and the verb "to be." Many people say incorrectly, "I wish there was a party tonight." However, the correct form should read, "I wished that there were a party tonight." Perhaps, I should make a video on this topic.
