Dear Captain, Chief,

Thank you for the information, we received it. There is a suitable reconditioned cylinder head in our office, but there is too little time to deliver to Panama and Guayaquil is not an option. There are unpredictable customs, as you may know, and delivery to this area is practically impossible. Do you have any further schedule after Guayaquil? Does the old defective head leak after repairment?

Best regards,

Fleet Superintendent

Look at the structures in bold and answer the questions:

– Are they about the presence of something (someone) in specific places?

– Are they in the past or in the present?

– Are they singular or plural?

We use structures there is/ there are + singular noun/ plural noun when we talk about the presence of something or someone in particular places in the present time.

Choose the correct option:

– we use: there is/are + singular noun

– For plural we use: there is/are + plural noun

Put is or are in the gaps:

– There ….. an oil spill along our coastline.

– There ….. the crosshead bearings for the auxiliary diesel generator in the application.

– There …. a problem with the choice of material for hull structures repairing.

– There ….. hoses on the deck.

– There ….. cracks on the internal side of the cylinder.

Try to think of your own examples with these structures:

– There is a problem with…………………………………………………………………………………………

– There are cracks ………………………………………………………………………….

– There are hoses…………………………………………………………………………..
