24:00There is a book on the shelf.
24:02There are two books on the shelf.
24:06Many languages don't have this phrase.
24:13And many people who learn English don't understand why they need it.
24:19Let's look at two similar sentences.
24:22There is a book on the shelf.
24:25The book is on the shelf.
24:32The first example.
24:34There is a book on the shelf.
24:38It's the answer to the question
24:41What is on the shelf?
24:44What is this sentence about?
24:47About a shelf or about a book?
24:51This sentence is about a shelf.
24:55We describe what exists on the shelf.
25:02There is a book on the shelf.
25:05Our accent here is not a book, but its location.
25:12The second example.
25:14The book is on the shelf.
25:18It's the answer to the question
25:23Where is the book?
25:26What is this sentence about?
25:28About a book or about a shelf?
25:33The sentence is about a book.
25:38The accent is the book, not its location.

26:24We describe that 30 students exist in the class.
26:33There are 30 students in the class.
26:38The students in the class are bored.
26:42Now, it's the answer to the question
26:45How do the students feel?
26:49It's not about their number or location.
26:53Not about some non-specific students.
26:57It's about particular students.
27:01In a question
27:03There and Is change places.

27:40There are…

28:08money in my pocket. There is not any food in the fridge. There are not any monkeys on
28:22the tree. There are not any students in the class.
