To:
Dear Captain, Chief,
Thank you for the information, we received it. There is a suitable reconditioned cylinder head in our office, but there is too little time to deliver to Panama and Guayaquil is not an option. There are unpredictable customs, as you may know, and delivery to this area is practically impossible. Do you have any further schedule after Guayaquil? Does the old defective head leak after repairment?
Best regards,
Fleet Superintendent
Look at the structures in bold and answer the questions:
– Are they about the presence of something (someone) in specific places?
– Are they in the past or in the present?
– Are they singular or plural?
We use structures there is/ there are + singular noun/ plural noun when we talk about the presence of something or someone in particular places in the present time.
Choose the correct option:
– we use: there is/are + singular noun
– For plural we use: there is/are + plural noun
Put is or are in the gaps:
– There ….. an oil spill along our coastline.
– There ….. the crosshead bearings for the auxiliary diesel generator in the application.
– There …. a problem with the choice of material for hull structures repairing.
– There ….. hoses on the deck.
– There ….. cracks on the internal side of the cylinder.
Try to think of your own examples with these structures:
– There is a problem with…………………………………………………………………………………………
– There are cracks ………………………………………………………………………….
– There are hoses…………………………………………………………………………..
– There is…………………………………………………………………………………….
– There are…………………………………………………………………………………..

Мы используем there is/ there are, когда говорим что кто-то или что-то где-то находятся. Точнее, находятся понятно где. Понятно из самого предложения. Находятся сейчас.
There is the Chief engineer in the engine room.
There are two engineers in the engine room.
Понятно, что все эти люди находятся в engine room. Из самого предложения понятно.
Если кто-то один или что-то одно, то используем конструкцию there is.
There is the Chief Engineer in the engine room.
Если чего-то или кого-то два и больше, то используем конструкцию there are.
There are two engineers in the engine room.
Вставьте is или are в пропуски:
1.There ….. corrosion above the waterline.
2.There …… fenders along the hull.
3.There …… cracks on the anchor.
4.There ……. coatings of paint on the hull.
5.There ……. a flexible nylon in lines and nets.
Теперь потренируемся говорить «нет”с этими конструкциями. «Нет» в английском всегда крепится к глаголу. В этих конструкциях глагол is/are. Значит «нет» будет крепиться к is/are.
There is not
или сокращенная форма
There isn’t
There are not
Или сокращенная форма
There aren’t
Сделайте предложения отрицательными. Возможно использовать как полную, так и краткую форму отрицания. Первое дано как пример.
1.There is corrosion above the waterline. – There isn’t corrosion above the waterline.
2.There are fenders along the hull. – ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3.There are cracks on the anchor.-…
4.There are coatings of paint on the hull.-…
5.There is a flexible nylon in lines and nets. -…
Ну и вопрос давайте поучимся задавать. Когда задаем вопрос с этими конструкциями, вначале всегда ставим глагол is/are.
Задайте вопросы по образцу.
