There + to be

There + to be = an equivalent of the Dutch ‘er zijn’e.g. There are two boats on this painting.

‘Zich bevinden’ can be expresses by ‘there + to be’

e.g. There are curtains at the window. (NOT: There hang…)

Er hangen gordijnen voor de ramen. e.g. There are towels in the cupboard. (NOT: There lie…)

Er liggen handdoeken in de kast. e.g. There are mice in the attic. (NOT: There sit…)

Er zitten muizen op zolder.

There + to be: exercise

There is a fly in my soup. There are many parks in New York. There aren’t any tigers in Africa. There are lots of hotels in big cities. Is there a bank near here? Is there life on Mars? Is there a telephone I can use? There is a football game tomorrow. There are 8 students in my class. There aren’t many people in my town.
