Hello.:-D
Today I have a question as to the usage of 'There is/are...'.
If I understand it correctly, the construction ('There is/are...') is not used for specific things:
1. There is my pen on the desk. Incorrect
My pen is on the desk. Correct
2. There is Tokyo Disneyland in Chiba prefecture in Japan. Incorrect
Tokyo Disneyland is in Chiba prefecture in Japan. Correct
Do I understand it correctly?
Thank you.
