Grammar help please?

Hi there,

Could you check these sentences for me please?

"There" has to be followed by noun, therefore,


There are some leftover on the table. (Noun)

There are some pizzas left. (Third forms of leave, past participle) (Passive maybe?)

There is nothing left. (Third forms of leave, past participle) (Passive maybe?)


Have you got any leftover. (Noun)

I have no leftover. (Noun)

Have you got any left. (Third forms of leave, past participle)

I have no pizza left. (Third forms of leave, past participle)


The leftover is still good. (Noun)

The left still good. (Incorrect English)

What had left which is still good. (Third forms of leave, past participle)

What was left which is still good. (Third forms of leave, past participle)


Thanks in advance

John
