There is, There are

Top answer

This English teacher loves it. Existential 'there' is an extremely common part of the natural language. Did your teacher explain why or in what situation s/he doesn't like it?

There is and There are don't have any really interesting verbs. Maybe your teacher is trying to get you to be more imaginative in your choice of verbs.
