VERB THERE TO BE (haver)

SIMPLE PRESENT
Singular: THERE IS = há

ATTENTION!!!
O verbo haver, em português, quando impessoal, é usado apenas na terceira pessoa do singular. Em inglês, o verbo equivalente (THERE TO BE) tem duas formas (singular e plural) e concorda com o objeto direto que o seguir.
Ex.:
There is a calendar on the wall.
There is = singular
a calendar (objeto direto) = singular
(Há um calendário na parede.)

There are seven days in a week.
There are = plural
seven days (objeto direto) = plural
(Há sete dias em uma semana.)
