There Is vs. There Are

🔤 1. Apa arti “there is” dan “there are”?

Kita pakai there is dan there are untuk mengatakan sesuatu ada atau berada di suatu tempat.

Contoh:

  • There is a book on the table.
  • There are three books on the table.

Ide dasarnya adalah:

There is / There are = sesuatu ada atau hadir.

📘 2. Aturan yang paling penting

Pilihan antara there is dan there are tergantung pada kata benda setelahnya.

Satu benda → There is

  • There is a cat outside.
  • There is a problem.
  • There is an apple in the bag.
  • There is a teacher in the room.

Two or more things → There are

  • There are two cats outside.
  • There are several problems.
  • There are five apples in the bag.
  • There are three teachers in the room.

Aturan mudah

Jumlah Pakai
One thing There is
Two or more There are

Pikirkan:

SATU → IS
BANYAK → ARE

🧩 3. “There is” + kata benda tunggal

Pakai there is untuk satu orang atau satu benda.

Contoh-contoh:

  • There is a dog in the garden.
  • There is a restaurant near my house.
  • There is an orange on the plate.
  • There is one student in the classroom.

Perhatikan, kata bendanya tunggal:

  • a dog
  • a restaurant
  • an orange
  • one student

🔍 4. “There are” + kata benda jamak

Pakai there are untuk dua orang/benda atau lebih.

Contoh-contoh:

  • There are two dogs in the garden.
  • There are three restaurants near my house.
  • There are some oranges on the plate.
  • There are twenty students in the classroom.

Kata bendanya jamak:

  • dogs
  • restaurants
  • oranges
  • students

🧠 5. Hati-hati dengan kata benda tunggal dan jamak

Ini salah satu kesalahan terbesar bagi pemula.

Perhatikan kata bendanya, lalu pilih is atau are.

One

There is a chair in the room.
Ada kursi di dalam ruangan.

Many

There are four chairs in the room.
Ada empat kursi di dalam ruangan.

Contoh lain:

There is a child in the park.
Ada seorang anak di taman.

There are five children in the park.
Ada lima anak di taman.

Meskipun child → children adalah bentuk jamak yang tidak biasa, itu tetap jamak, jadi kita pakai are.

🗂️ 6. “There is” dengan a/an

Karena a/an biasanya berarti satu, kita biasanya pakai there is.

  • There is a problem.
  • There is a bus outside.
  • There is an email in my inbox.
  • There is an old building nearby.

Bukan:

  • ❌ There are a problem.
  • ❌ There are an email.

Ingat:

a/an = satu → there is

🎯 7. “There are” dengan angka

Kalau angkanya lebih dari satu, pakai there are.

  • There are two windows.
  • There are ten people.
  • There are three bottles.
  • There are many students.

Bandingkan:

  • There is one window.
  • There are two windows.

💬 8. “There is” dengan kata benda tak terhitung

Beberapa kata benda biasanya tidak dihitung sebagai satuan.

Contoh-contoh:

  • water
  • milk
  • rice
  • money
  • information
  • furniture

Kita biasanya pakai there is dengan kata benda ini.

  • There is some water in the bottle.
  • There is some rice in the bowl.
  • There is a lot of money in the account.
  • There is some information on the website.
  • There is some furniture in the room.

Meskipun air, nasi, atau perabotan itu jumlahnya banyak, kata benda ini diperlakukan sebagai tunggal dalam struktur ini.

Jadi:

There is some water.
Ada air.

Bukan:

❌ There are some water.

🔤 9. Kalimat negatif

Untuk mengatakan sesuatu tidak ada, tambahkan not.

There is → There isn't

  • There isn't a bathroom upstairs.
  • There isn't any milk in the fridge.
  • There isn't a bus at the station.

There are → There aren't

  • There aren't any chairs here.
  • There aren't enough tickets.
  • There aren't many people outside.

Aturan mudah

There is → There isn't

There are → There aren't

📘 10. “There isn't” vs. “There aren't”

Sekali lagi, perhatikan kata bendanya.

One

There isn't a problem.
Tidak ada masalah.

Many

There aren't any problems.
Tidak ada masalah apa pun.

Contoh lain:

There isn't a book on the desk.
Tidak ada buku di atas meja.

There aren't any books on the desk.
Tidak ada buku apa pun di atas meja.

🧩 11. Kalimat tanya dengan “there is” dan “there are”

Untuk membuat kalimat tanya, taruh is atau are sebelum there.

Satu benda

Is there + kata benda tunggal?

  • Is there a bank nearby?
  • Is there a problem?
  • Is there a bathroom here?
  • Is there an ATM in this building?

Banyak benda

Are there + kata benda jamak?

  • Are there any restaurants nearby?
  • Are there two bathrooms?
  • Are there enough chairs?
  • Are there many people outside?

Bandingkan

Is there a supermarket nearby?
Apakah ada supermarket di dekat sini?

One supermarket.
Satu supermarket.

Are there any supermarkets nearby?
Apakah ada beberapa supermarket di dekat sini?

Lebih dari satu / bertanya soal supermarket secara umum.

🔍 12. Jawaban singkat

Pertanyaan dengan “Is there...?”

Is there a problem?
Apakah ada masalah?

  • Yes, there is.
  • No, there isn't.

Is there a bus stop here?
Apakah ada halte bus di sini?

  • Yes, there is.
  • No, there isn't.

Pertanyaan dengan “Are there...?”

Are there any tickets left?
Apakah masih ada tiket tersisa?

  • Yes, there are.
  • No, there aren't.

Are there any shops nearby?
Apakah ada toko di dekat sini?

  • Yes, there are.
  • No, there aren't.

Perhatikan:

Is there...? → Yes, there is. / No, there isn't.

Are there...? → Yes, there are. / No, there aren't.

🧠 13. “There is” tidak sama dengan “It is”

Pemula kadang tertukar antara keduanya.

There is

Pakai there is untuk memperkenalkan sesuatu yang ada.

There is a dog outside.
Ada anjing di luar.

Kamu sedang mengatakan:

Ada seekor anjing di sana.

It is

Pakai it is untuk membicarakan sesuatu yang sudah kamu ketahui.

There is a dog outside. It is very big.
Ada anjing di luar. Anjingnya sangat besar.

Pertama, kamu memperkenalkan anjingnya:

There is a dog outside.
Ada anjing di luar.

Lalu kamu membicarakan anjing itu:

It is very big.
Anjingnya sangat besar.

🗂️ 14. “There are” tidak sama dengan “They are”

Ide yang sama berlaku untuk kata benda jamak.

There are

Memperkenalkan atau mengatakan sesuatu itu ada:

There are some birds in the tree.
Ada beberapa burung di pohon.

They are

Membicarakan burung-burung itu setelah kita tahu soal mereka:

They are very noisy.
Burung-burung itu sangat berisik.

Jadi:

There are three birds in the tree.
Ada tiga burung di pohon.
They are very noisy.
Burung-burung itu sangat berisik.

Pikirkan:

There is/are → memperkenalkan sesuatu

It/They → membicarakan sesuatu yang sudah diketahui

🎯 15. “There is” vs. “It is”

Bandingkan ini baik-baik:

There is a phone on the table.
Ada ponsel di atas meja.

Kamu sedang mengatakan ada ponsel di situ.

The phone is expensive.
Ponsel itu mahal.

Kamu sedang membicarakan ponsel itu.

Kita bisa menggabungkannya:

There is a phone on the table. It is expensive.
Ada ponsel di atas meja. Ponselnya mahal.

Bukan:

❌ There is a phone on the table. There is expensive.

Dan bukan:

❌ It is a phone on the table.

💬 16. “There are” vs. “They are”

Bandingkan:

There are three boxes in the room.
Ada tiga kotak di dalam ruangan.

You are introducing the boxes.
Kamu sedang memperkenalkan kotak-kotak itu.

They are heavy.
Kotak-kotak itu berat.

Kamu sedang mendeskripsikan kotak-kotak itu.

Digabung:

There are three boxes in the room. They are heavy.
Ada tiga kotak di dalam ruangan. Kotak-kotaknya berat.

🔤 17. “There” juga bisa berarti sebuah tempat

Kata there bisa punya arti lain.

Contoh:

Put the bag there.
Taruh tas itu di sana.

Di sini, there berarti tempat tertentu.

Tapi dalam:

There is a bag on the chair.
Ada tas di atas kursi.

“there” adalah bagian dari struktur there is.

Ini mungkin terasa aneh pada awalnya, jadi jangan khawatir soal penjelasan teknisnya.

Cukup ingat polanya:

There is + satu benda

There are + banyak benda

📘 18. “There is” dengan sebuah daftar

Ini bisa membingungkan kalau kalimatnya punya beberapa kata benda.

Untuk pemula, fokuslah pada kata benda yang langsung mengikuti there is/are.

Contoh:

There is a table and four chairs in the room.
Ada satu meja dan empat kursi di dalam ruangan.

Dalam bahasa Inggris sehari-hari, orang sering memakai there is secara informal dengan daftar seperti ini, terutama kalau item pertamanya tunggal.

Tapi saat mempelajari aturan dasarnya, ingat:

There is a table.
Ada satu meja.

There are four chairs.
Ada empat kursi.

Kamu belum perlu khawatir soal kasus yang lebih rumit.

🧩 19. Kesalahan yang sering terjadi

⚠️ Kesalahan 1
❌ There are a cat in the garden.

Benar:

✅ There is a cat in the garden.
Ada kucing di taman.

Kenapa?

A cat = satu → there is

⚠️ Kesalahan 2
❌ There is three cars outside.

Benar:

✅ There are three cars outside.
Ada tiga mobil di luar.

Kenapa?

Three cars = lebih dari satu → there are

⚠️ Kesalahan 3
❌ There is many people here.

Benar:

✅ There are many people here.
Ada banyak orang di sini.

Kenapa?

People = jamak → there are

⚠️ Kesalahan 4
❌ There are some water in the glass.

Benar:

✅ There is some water in the glass.
Ada air di dalam gelas.

Kenapa?

Water tidak bisa dihitung → there is

⚠️ Kesalahan 5
❌ Is there any restaurants nearby?

Benar:

✅ Are there any restaurants nearby?
Apakah ada restoran di dekat sini?

Kenapa?

Restaurants = jamak → are there

⚠️ Kesalahan 6
❌ Are there a problem?

Benar:

✅ Is there a problem?
Apakah ada masalah?

Kenapa?

A problem = satu → is there

⚠️ Kesalahan 7
❌ There is two children outside.

Benar:

✅ There are two children outside.
Ada dua anak di luar.

Kenapa?

Two children = jamak → there are

🔍 20. Cara mudah untuk memutuskan

Saat kamu mau mengatakan sesuatu itu ada, tanyakan:

Langkah 1: Apa kata bendanya?

Contoh:

___ a bicycle outside.

“Bicycle” = satu.

Jadi:

There is a bicycle outside.
Ada sepeda di luar.

Contoh lain:

___ four bicycles outside.

“Bicycles” = lebih dari satu.

Jadi:

There are four bicycles outside.
Ada empat sepeda di luar.

Langkah 2: Periksa kata bendanya

Kata Benda Benar
a car There is a car.
an egg There is an egg.
one person There is one person.
two cars There are two cars.
many eggs There are many eggs.
three people There are three people.
some water There is some water.

🧠 21. Hubungannya dengan “is” dan “are”

Pilihan antara is dan are mengikuti ide tunggal/jamak yang sama.

  • is → satu
  • are → lebih dari satu

Dengan there:

  • There is a problem.
  • There are two problems.

Dengan kalimat biasa:

  • The problem is serious.
  • The problems are serious.

Jadi ide kuncinya adalah:

Satu → is

Banyak → are

🗂️ 22. Panduan cepat untuk mengingat

Satu benda

There is

There is a book.
Ada sebuah buku.

Banyak benda

There are

There are five books.
Ada lima buku.

Negatif

There isn't → satu

There isn't a book.
Tidak ada buku.

There aren't → banyak

There aren't any books.
Tidak ada buku apa pun.

Pertanyaan

Is there...? → satu

Is there a book?
Apakah ada buku?

Are there...? → banyak

Are there any books?
Apakah ada buku apa pun?

🎯 23. Aturan yang paling penting

Jangan lihat kata there-nya.

Perhatikan kata bendanya.

There is a computer.
Ada sebuah komputer.

One computer.
Satu komputer.

There are three computers.
Ada tiga komputer.

Three computers.
Tiga komputer.

Jadi ingat:

SATU → THERE IS
BANYAK → THERE ARE
