contraction and there īs a/there are
|
If I have this sentence, īHe īs lots of fun to be with. � What is the long form?
My guess is īHe has got lots of fun to be with. � Am I right?
My other problem can be found in the following two sentences:
īThere īs a TV, a computer and a table in my bedroom. �
īThere are a TV, a computer and a table in my bedroom. �
For me the second one sounds strange. What do you think?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Answering to your second question: we say there is if the following noun is in singular. So the first version is true: There is a TV, a computer and a table in my bedroom.
Hope it helps.
Hugs,
Susan

hihe has lots of fun be with me. we use contraction for has with he when it shows possession. the first one is correct because you are talking about singular adding with "a". |
