Dear native English speakers,
Do all the sentences sound natural?
1 There is a big ginkgo tree near my house.
2 There are a lot of people on the beach now.
3 Is there a lion in the zoo?
4 Are there any students at school today?
5 There are ten balls in the box.
6 There is a baby on the bed.
7 There are many birds in the park.
8 Is there any water in the bottle?
9 Are there any tall buildings in your city/town?
10 Is there a bookshelf in your room?
11 There are a lot of wild animals around here.
A native English speaker from Australia says 2 sounds stiff. What do you think?
