This Grade 4 worksheet helps students learn how to use the phrases *there is* and *there are* correctly when describing the existence of people, objects, or places.

The worksheet includes a variety of engaging activities such as multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence rewriting, and paragraph writing.
