- To say something exists, we use There is (for one thing) or There are (for many things).
- For example: There is a bed in the bedroom.

‘House’ vs. ‘Home’
Spanish speakers sometimes confuse house and home. They are similar but not the same:
- A house is a building. It is a physical structure. My house is big.
- A home is the place where you live, and it often has emotional meaning. It can be a house, an apartment, or any place you feel comfortable. I go home after work. (You don’t say ‘I go house after work’).
