There exist...

[nyggus]

Hi:
Is it correct to write “There exist procedures that …”, “…” standing for a long part of the sentence?

Thanks,
Nyggus

…”, “…”- this punctuation is unclear- wouldn't one ellipsis do?

[nyggus]

Sorry, it might confusing a bit. "..." stands for anything, e.g., "There exist procedures that may be applied in the problem under consideration, although one has to be aware that they are not optimum under most conditions encountered in practice." Is the "There exist procedures..." correct here?

Thanks,
Nyggus

'There exist' is correct, similar to 'there is', 'there are' or 'there goes'.

'Applied in' should be 'applied to'.

In addition,

Expletive-there is a structural filler. The true subject comes after the verb:

There exist procedures ... .
Procedures ... exist.

All the best.
