We use ―there is (are)‖ constructions talking about the existence or absence of people or things

in a definite place. These constructions have the meaning «есть, имеется, находится,

существует». The verb ―to be‖ in such constructions can be used in different tense forms: there

is/are, there was/were, there will be, there has/have been, there had been. The verb ―to be‖ in

such constructions can be used with modal verbs (can, may, must, ought to): There must be a

room. – Телефон в моей комнате.

There is a table and six chairs in the room. There were some books and a dictionary on the desk.
