Unit Overview

📍 SWATStudents will be able to describe the contents and features of a room using There is (singular) and There are (plural).

Teacher Note

What You Will Deliver

There is / There are is used constantly — describing rooms, places, cities, situations. Students will also learn the negative (There isn’t / There aren’t) and question form (Is there…? / Are there…?). By the end every student must describe any room they are in.
