Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine.
Now that I've got your attention. I'd like you help me to correct these sentences if needed. (<---- Fantastic use of contractions, you can actually do the same thing in your sentences as well, I'll give you the examples when I go through them.)1.: There are a lot of soda cans. (<--- Perfect. You could also use it in a sentence if you're talking to someone like 'That's a lot of soda cans' emphasising the number of cans.)
2.: There are is a few pieces of furniture. (<--- Furniture is the section of objects like a couch, sofa, table, chair, etc. If there are multiple objects (('furnitures' which isn't correct, but multiple objects isn't really right here either)) then there are multiple pieces of furniture.)
3.: There is a lot of yard waste. (<---- This sentence on it's own is perfect, however this would be a great time to use that new contraction I hinted at earlier! You've got a good grasp of 'I've' and 'I'd' so I'll try and show you this one. We can turn 'There is' into a contraction, just like 'I have' or 'I would like' by turning it into 'There's'. So in this case, 'There's a lot of yard waste'.
4.: There is a little plastic. (<--- Depending on the context of the sentence this is correct but I think in most circumstanes 'There is a little bit of plastic' is more common. Could also use 'There's'.
5.: There are a few appliances. (<---- Perfect.)
6.: There is lot of paper. (<---- Great. Could use 'There's here, could also use this in a sentence to exclaim how much paper there is 'There is A LOT of paper here' tonal emphasis on the 'a lot'.)
7.: There aren't any clothes. (<---- Great use of aren't!)
8.: There are a few pieces/bits of cardboard. (<--- Cardboard ((singular)) is the whole, if there are multiples of it then there are pieces of cardboard)
(Well done! If you have any questions feel free to let me know :))
