Possible Duplicate: “There is no rule” vs. “there isn’t rule” If I'm not mistaken, both "There isn't a storm." and "There is no storm." have the same meaning. I understand that the first one is the "contraction" of the second one, but what I can't understand is that if it is the contraction of the second, why the is second "There is no storm" and not "There is not storm"? asked Nov 7, 2012 at 22:17 3 "Isn't" is a contraction of "is not". (Not "is no".) The correct long form of "there isn't a storm" is "there is not a storm." answered Nov 7, 2012 at 22:20 The possibility of using contractions is irrelevant here. OP's examples could be reversed by contrasting there is not a storm with there's no storm - it's all the same. In such constructions, "no" stands in for "not any". It's possible that with any given formulation, some people might perceive a distinction in either nuance of meaning or "euphony/acceptability". For example... There is not a God. There's not a God. There is no God. There's no God. ...but I can't say any of those seem inherently "ungrammatical" to me, or mean anything different. answered Nov 7, 2012 at 22:53 FumbleFingersFumbleFingers134k45 gold badges277 silver badges487 bronze badges Because the contraction expands to there is not a storm The meaning is the same even if the wording is different. answered Nov 7, 2012 at 22:20 Rory AlsopRory Alsop6,6124 gold badges28 silver badges37 bronze badges

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”). Here’s a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on all your favorite websites. 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 the verb. But in sentences that begin with there is and there are, the noun comes later. In the sentence above, cat is singular, so it requires there is. In the sentence above, opportunities is plural, so it requires there are. (Don’t let the word many throw you off—concentrate 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? It’s difficult to tease out 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. Here’s 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 can’t rewrite it, you’ll have to make a choice. Use is if you want to emphasize the group; use are if you want to emphasize the individual members. It’s the same with other collecting phrases, like a variety of. There Are a Lot of Use there are when you’re talking about “a lot” of something. There Is vs. There Are With a Series of Items When you’re making a list of things, sometimes there are sounds wrong: There are sounds bad because the noun that follows it, kitchen, is singular. Even though you’re really talking about multiple things, (a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom), it’s often better to use the singular verb is in a construction like this. 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.

3. Yes, they do have the same meaning but they do not have the same tone. What I say with tone is that when we talk we don't just spit words through our mouths, we express emotions, we change the tune of our voices. And it reflects also in language. To explain this, I will give you an example:

1. Use of there is, there are in sentences and questions Singular Plural Affirmative sentences There is a cat in the room. There are two cats in the room. Negative sentences There is not a cat in the room There are not two cats in the room. There is no cat in the room. There are no cats in the room. Questions Is there a cat in the room? Are there two cats in the room? 2. Contracted forms of there is, there are Contactions are only possibe from there is – there's The form there're is not used. Do not form contracted forms in questions with is there/are there. Singular Plural Affirmative sentences There's a cat in the room. There are two cats in the room. Negative sentences There's not a cat in the room. There are not two cats in the room. There isn't a cat in the room. There's no cat in the room. There are no cats in the room. Questions Is there a cat in the room? Are there two cats in the room? ► In informal English you may hear the contracted form there's used with plural nouns. This is grammatically not correct.

Wielu uczących się języka angielskiego nie potrafi umiejscowić wyrażenia “there is” w języku. Słusznie - w polskim nie posiadamy odpowiednika tego wyrażenia. Jednak łatwo jest znaleźć miejsce, w którym ta fraza będzie używana. Zacznijmy od tego, że po angielsku każde zdanie zaczynamy konstruować od podmiotu, czyli osoby/rzeczy wykonującej czynność. “Mieszkam tu”, po angielsku będzie brzmiało “I live here”, chociaż “ja”= “I” wcale po polsku nie ma w zdaniu. [Poczytaj o tym więcej w “be” - formy twierdzące.]Jednak są zdania, w których mówimy “są”, “jest”, “nie ma” bez żadnego wyraźnego wykonawcy. Przykład? Proszę bardzo:Jest dużo ludzi, którzy chcą mówić po naszym sklepie nie ma dużo krzeseł jest w twoim pokoju?To właśnie tu stosujemy there is (dla liczby pojedynczej) i there are (dla liczby mnogiej).There are a lot of people who want to speak aren’t any vegetables in our many chairs are there in your room?Proste prawda?

If someone asked you to remove the apple lying on the table, you might reply: There is no apple on the table. strongly emphasizing the absence of the apple or, using your second example: There is not an apple on the table. In practice, people would nearly always abbreviate that to: There isn't an apple on the table. There is no is frequently used for universal statements, such as: There is no hope; there is no way; there is no chance/possibility There is not, frequently abbreviated to there isn't is generally used to make a simple negative statement or to deny a positive one. There isn't a bus until midday. However, in many instances, you can use either construction.

Download this explanation in PDF here. Try an exercise on this topic here. There's a more advanced explanation about 'it' and 'there' here. If we want to say that something exists or doesn't exist somewhere or at some time, we often use 'there + be'. It's often used to talk about something for the first time in a conversation. There's a cup on the table. There's a restaurant next to the station. There isn't any money in the house. There aren't any banks in this street. Is there a supermarket near here? Are there any potatoes in the cupboard? In theory, we use 'there is + singular' and 'there are + plural'. There is a cafe in my village. There are two cafes in my village. But we very, very often use there's + plural and singular when we're speaking. This is so common that it's not a mistake. We must use the short form here. There's a cafe in my village. There's two cafes in my village. We can use 'there' with all tenses of be. There were many poor people in the 16th century. There won't be cake at the party. There have been a lot of accidents today. Will there be a train at 6pm? There hasn't been much rain recently. We usually use 'there + be' with a / an / some / any / no / much / many / a lot of and other indefinite words. We don't usually use it with 'the' or proper names. There's a cat in the garden. There's the cat in the garden. There's a boy on the train. There's John on the train.

"No" means "not any," or "not a/an."As you know, if the verb is negative, "no" is not used to modify a phrase following it. That would give us a "double negative," which is not correct in standard in A), the verb is affirmative, and "no" – meaning "zero" – modifies "light."_______Sentence B) has the same meaning as sentence A). However, in this sentence, the verb is negative: "isn't." Since the verb is negative, there cannot be another negative: "any" is used instead of "no.""Not" is an adverb, and as an adverb in sentence B), it modifies the verb "is."_______What an adverb does – as you probably know – is to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It can modify another determiner, which is a kind of adjective. These sentences are examples. "Not" and the word it modifies are in bold:We do not have any many people were at the much information is was so cold that not a person could be found all parrots can parrots are definitely not parrot is definitely not friendly. He's not friendly at all. He's not actually aggressive – he doesn't bite – but he is definitely not interested in interaction with is also a determiner. It is used, as you know, when the verb is negative, in front of a noun. In your sentence, "any" = 0."Any" has another important use, in questions and in affirmative sentences, as in this entry from the American Heritage Dictionary*: One, some, every, or all without specification: Take any book you want. Are there any messages for me? Any child would love that. Give me any food you don't sentences A) and B) have the same meaning. Sometimes the sentence constructed with "no" + a noun is a little stronger about having zero quantity than a sentence constructed with the verb + not. Sentence A) could be very slightly more emphatic about there being no light in the room, but the sentences very definitely mean the same thing: the room is American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.
