There Is Or There Are Practice Activities
Class 2 children practise choosing “there is” or “there are” to describe one or many people, animals, places, and things.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the choice
These Class 2 vocabulary worksheets help children choose between there is and there are when they describe people, animals, places, and things around them. They practise noticing whether the noun is one thing or more than one before completing a sentence.
The printable activities include sentence completion, picture-based prompts, correction tasks, and short writing practice. Children build confidence using simple everyday examples such as “There is a bag” and “There are two pencils.”
“There is” is used when we talk about one person, animal, place, or thing: “There is a cat under the table.” “There are” is used when we talk about more than one: “There are three cats under the table.” In Class 2, the main goal is to help children link the phrase to the noun that follows it.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets begin with clear singular and plural nouns, then move to sentences with number words and picture clues. Children may complete blanks, circle the correct phrase, match sentences to pictures, or rewrite incorrect sentences. This steady progression helps them see clues such as a, an, one, two, many, and plural -s endings.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to look around one room and say five sentences aloud. For example: “There is a clock.” “There are four chairs.” Then let the child write two of the sentences and underline the noun. If the noun means one, use “there is”; if it means more than one, use “there are.” Keep the examples real and familiar.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during English practice, grammar revision, morning work, or small-group support. Picture prompts work well for oral language before writing. Correction tasks are useful after teaching singular and plural nouns, because they show whether children are applying the rule in full sentences, not just identifying nouns separately.
Common errors to watch for
Children often write “There are a book” because they notice the object but not the number. They may also write “There is two birds” when a number word comes before the noun. Another common slip is missing the plural ending, as in “There are three pencil.” Encourage children to read the whole sentence and check both the phrase and the noun.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
When should a Class 2 child use “there is”?
A child should use “there is” when the sentence talks about one person, animal, place, or thing, such as “There is a ball on the floor.”
When should a child use “there are”?
“There are” is used when the sentence talks about more than one thing, such as “There are five crayons in the box.” Number words and plural nouns are useful clues.
How do these worksheets connect to singular and plural nouns?
Children must identify whether the noun is singular or plural before choosing the phrase. This reinforces noun number while also improving sentence formation.
What is a good way to teach this at home?
Ask your child to describe objects in a room using both forms: “There is one window” and “There are two bags.” Then have them write a few sentences and underline the noun.
What mistakes should I correct first?
