I have some doubts whether I should use form "are" or "is" in specific phrases. When I watch TV I sometimes hear that people (natives) use both those forms in those phrases and it makes me confused.
I will write below such pairs of sentences and I mark green my preference
1.
a) There are many cars on the street.
b) There is many cars on the street.
2.
a) There is a few cars on the street.
b) There are a few cars on the street.
3.
a) There are few cars on the street.
b) There is few cars on the street.
4.
a) There is a lot of cars on the street.
b) There are a lot of cars on the street.
5.
a) There are lots of cars on the street.
b) There is lots of cars on the street.
6.
a) There are some cars on the street.
b) There is some cars on the street.
Please, give me the clear answer which of those are correct.
Thanks in advance.
