L’EXPESSION IL Y A-THE EXPRESSION THERE IS/ARE
The French expression il y a, which can mean "there is" or "there are," is
one of the most important expressions in the French language. It is most
commonly followed by an indefinite article + noun, a number + noun, or
an indefinite pronoun.
Il y a des enfants là-bas.
There are some kids over there.
Il y a un chat dans la voiture.
There's a cat in the car.
To ask a question with il y a, you can either use est-ce que or inversion.
Est-ce qu'il y a un chat ?
Is there a cat?
For inversion, place y first, then invert il and a and place -t- between them
(why?):
Y a-t-il un chat ?
Is there a cat?
Il y a can also be used with interrogative words:
Combien d'enfants y a-t-il ?
How many kids are there?
