Notes for teachers

Start by describing your classroom aloud (There is a board, There are twenty chairs), then let students work through the exercises in order. Common mistakes are using is with plural nouns, using some instead of any in negatives and questions, saying It is instead of There is, and the short answer Yes, there's (it should be Yes, there is). As a follow-up, students can draw their bedroom and ask a partner Is there…? / Are there…? questions to find the differences.
