Inderline the correct word. 1. there is/are many people in the street.

The correct word is are. Explanation In English, the phrase "there is" or "there are" must agree with the noun that follows it (the subject).

• There is is used for singular nouns (e.g., a person, a car).
• There are is used for plural nouns (e.g., people, cars).

In this sentence, the subject is "many people". Although "people" does not end in "-s," it is an irregular plural noun (the plural form of "person"). Since the subject is plural, we must use are. Correct Sentence

There are many people in the street.

Would you like me to provide a list of other common irregular plural nouns that follow this same rule?
