Grammar
A1 Elementary
There or It
Understanding when to use 'there' and 'it' is an essential part of learning English at the A1 level. Both words act as subject placeholders, but they serve different purposes in a sentence.
When to Use 'There'
Use 'there' to talk about the existence or presence of something. It is often followed by the verb 'to be'.
✔ There is a book on the table.
✔ There are two cats in the garden.
✘ It is a book on the table.
When to Use 'It'
Use 'it' when referring to a specific thing, idea, or situation that has already been mentioned or is clear from the context.
✔ It is a beautiful day.
✔ It is my favorite movie.
✘ There is my favorite movie.
Quick Tip to Remember
Use 'there' to introduce something new or talk about existence.
Use 'it' to refer to something specific that is known or already mentioned.

✔ There is a party at John's house tonight.
