There is vagy there are, ez itt a krds:)

The choice between the phrases there is and there are at the beginning of a
sentence is determined by the noun that follows it.

Use there is when the noun is singular (There is a cat). Use there are when the
noun is plural (There are two cats).

There Is vs. There Are

You probably know that the choice between is vs. are depends on a noun. In most
sentences, the noun comes before theverb. But in sentences that begin with there is
and there are, the noun comes later.

There is a cat on the porch.

In the sentence above, cat is singular, so it requires there is.

There are many opportunities to learn at this company.

In the sentence above, opportunities is plural, so it requires there are. (Dont let the
word many throw you offconcentrate on the noun.)

There Is a Number of vs. There Are a Number of

There are a number of unnamed stars in our galaxy? There is a number of unnamed
stars in our galaxy? Its difficult to decide whether you should use is or are in
a construction like this. The verb is being pulled toward there, number, and stars all
at once.

Heres a tip: Sentences that begin with There is/are a number of are almost always
wordier than they need to be. Your best bet is to rewrite it:

Many stars in our galaxy are unnamed.

But if you really cant rewrite it, youll have to make a choice. Useis if you want to
emphasize the group; use are if you want to emphasize the individual members.

Its the same with other collecting phrases, like a variety of.

There is a wide variety of flavors to choose from.

There are a variety of unique destinations we can visit.

There Are a Lot of

Use there are when youre talking about a lot of something.

There are a lot of people in this elevator.

There Is vs. There Are With a Series of Items

When youre making a list of things, sometimes there are sounds wrong:

There are a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom in my apartment.

There are sounds bad because the noun that follows it, kitchen, is singular. Even
though youre really talking about multiple things, (a kitchen, a living room, a
bedroom), its often better to use the singular verb is in a construction like this.

There is a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom in my apartment.

Some language commentators still insist on using are in sentences like this despite
the awkwardness, but actual usage is extremely mixed. Remember, if the sentence
sounds awkward either way, you can always rewrite it to avoid the there is/are
problem altogether.
