thereis/ there was

Are the senteces "there is a pencil on the table" and "there was apencil on the table" good examples for present simple and for past simple? I am asking because my teacher did not accept it.

They are both correct sentences. But for examples, I'd prefer to use a regular verb. eg Mary cooks dinner.
