Let's solve the grammar task step by step. This worksheet focuses on using
"Is there...?" and
"Are there...?" correctly with singular and plural nouns, along with understanding whether something exists (yes/no) based on the pictures.

🔍 Step 1: Understand the Grammar Rule
- Use
"Is there..." for
singular or
uncountable nouns.
- Example: *Is there any pizza?* (pizza is uncountable)
- Use
"Are there..." for
plural countable nouns.
- Example: *Are there any sweets?* (sweets = plural)
Also:
- "Any" is used in questions and negative sentences.
- The answer depends on what’s shown in the picture.

🖼️ Picture Analysis
Let’s look at each question and its corresponding image:
---
✔ Question 1: Is there any chicken?
- Image shows a bucket of
chicken pieces → this is
a lot of chicken, so it's
plenty.
- But note: "chicken" is
uncountable when referring to meat.
- So we use
"Is there any chicken?"
- The picture shows
yes, there is chicken.
✔ Answer:
Yes, there is some chicken.
*(Alternatively: "Yes, there is a lot of chicken." – both are correct.)*
>
✔ Your current answer: *"There is a lot of chicken."* —
This is grammatically correct but not a direct yes/no answer.
> Better format:
Yes, there is a lot of chicken.
> Or simply:
Yes, there is.

✔ Question 2: Are there any sweets?
- Image shows
candy bars → these are
plural, countable.
- So use
"Are there any sweets?"
- There are clearly
many sweets in the picture.
✔ Answer:
Yes, there are a lot of sweets.
Or:
Yes, there are.
---
✔ Question 3: Is there any pizza?
- Image shows
stacked pizza slices → multiple slices, but "pizza" as a food is
uncountable.
- We still ask:
"Is there any pizza?" (not "Are there any pizzas?")
- There
is pizza in the picture.
✔ Answer:
Yes, there is some pizza.
Or:
Yes, there is.
> Note: Even though there are multiple slices, we treat "pizza" as uncountable here.
---
✔ Question 4: Are there any bananas?
- Image shows a fruit plate with
bananas, apples, oranges, etc.
- Bananas are
plural, countable → use
"Are there any bananas?"
- Yes, there are
bananas visible.
✔ Answer:
Yes, there are some bananas.
Or:
Yes, there are.

"any" in questions and negatives.
