There is/are...: In the sentences that begin with There…, the helping verb/main verb is determined by the noun that follows.

There are thirty students in the class.

There was a book on the table.

There lived a tiger in the forest.

Is there a bus to Hyderabad this evening?

Analysis:

The structure of the above sentences  using “there...” is as follows:

There + HV + N/NP… (There is a snake in the garden.)

There + MV + N/NP…(There lived a tiger in the forest.)

It is/was/will be...: “It” is sometimes used as a dummy subject. The real subject is “to+infinitive” . After the helping verb/s comes an adjective.

Examples:

It is good to stay indoors. (To stay indoors is good.)

It was nice to sit in the garden. (To sit in the garden was nice.)

Analysis:

“It is good to stay indoors.” = “ To stay indoors is good.”

“It was nice to sit in the garden.” = “To sit in the garden was nice.”

The structure of the above sentences  using “It...” is as follows:

It + HV + ADJ + TO + V1… (It is good to stay indoors.)

HV + IT + ADJ + TO + V1…? (Is it good to stay indoors?)

        Structure 6

How much+NP/How many+NP: How much (+NP) is used with uncountable nouns and how many (+NP), with countable nouns.

Examples:

How much sugar do you add to your coffee?

How many lessons have you read?

Analysis:

When how much+NP/how many+NP is used as the object of a sentence, the Wh-word is used in the beginning of the sentence and the remaining part of the sentence must be in interrogative form.

The structure of the above sentences  using “how much+NP/how many+NP” is as follows:

How much + NP + Interrogative.  (How much sugar do you add to your coffee?)

How many + NP + Interrogative. (How many lessons have you read?)
