For there to be
Hi, I was wondering if someone could clarify me something. Recently I was studying there as a subject and also pronoun, so I want to now how frequent do natives use the expression for there to be.
Thank you

I wouldn't exactly call "for there to be" an "expression". It is a sequence of words that may occur in a sentence. In terms of frequency I would say it is middling: neither particularly common nor particularly rare.

I'd say it's quite unusual, except in art or literature. The manga artist, Natsuki Takaya has 'For there to be pain, there has to be kindness'.
That's a good quote, but I wouldn't expect to hear the phrase every day
