You are in San Francisco, I am in Beijing. There are too many cars in San Francisco. There are many Chinese tourists in New York. There is a lot of corn in Mexico. There are too many people in Beijing. There is a beautiful tower in Shanghai. There are many cherry blossoms in Japan. So, you will only use "here" when referring to a place where you are at the time. For example, if I were in Japan I might say, "There are many cherry blossoms here", or "Here there are many cherry blossoms." The expression, "There are" does not describe the place, it describes the object. So for many of these sentences you said "There there are...", but you only need to say, "There are...". I hope this helps :)

There are too many cars in San Francisco . (there is not written double) There are many Chinese tourists in New York. There are a lot of corn in Mexico. (not double, and there is a lot of corn...) Here are too many people in Beijing. You would say: Here in Beijing, there are too many people, or: There are too many people in Beijing. Here there is a beautiful tower in Shanghai. > There is a beautiful tower (here) in Shanghai Here there are many cherry blossoms in Japan. >There are many cherry blossoms (here) in Japan. "There are..."/ "there is...." is a standing expression (there exists...), not to be confused with "There is the man whom I was telling you about" (pointing at the man) When speaking, there would be an emphasis on "are/is" in the first example and "there" in the second one

Hi Sue Young, Obviously, I cannot comment on what the other two people taught you, since I cannot speak for them. I can only comment on what I am familiar with. "Here" (这儿/这里) is defined in the dictionary as "in/toward/at this place," and "there" (那儿/那里) means "in/toward/at that place." The location of "here" and "there" are different depending on what the context of "this place" is. Let's take a look at your example... You are in San Francisco, and I am in Beijing: - If we are talking about San Francisco and Beijing, "here" is Beijing and "there" is San Francisco. - However, if the context of this conversation changes to you're in the US and I'm in China, "here" can be somewhere else in China and "there" can be somewhere else in the US. - Then, if the context of the conversation changes again to Asia and North America, "here" can be somewhere else in Asia and "there" can be somewhere else in North America. However, "there" can also be used as a pronoun, and when it's used in such a manner, we will not use "there" again as an adverb to mean "in/at that place." We can still use "here" with the pronoun "there" though. For instance... "There are too many people here in Beijing." In this sentence, "there" is an introductory pronoun and not an adverb to indicate location. "Here" still means "in this place" though. "There are too many cars in San Francisco." In this sentence, "there" remains an introductory pronoun, but we don't need to use "there" again to mean "in that place" because we've implied it by omitting the word (and we imply it because it sounds odd to us to say "there are too many cars there in San Francisco"). I hope I've helped answer your question. Please let me know if my answer is confusing. 我也可以用中文帮你解释。

Hi Sue Young, I'm just going to rephrase your examples : You are in San Francisco , I am in Beijing. I want say something: ( about practicing here and there) (Instead, you can say -> "You are there in San Francisco while I am here in Beijing.") There there are too many cars in San Francisco . (I guess you are trying to say : "There are too many cars there in San Francisco") There there are many Chinese tourists in New York. There there are a lot of corn in Mexico. Here are too many people in Beijing. (Instead, -> There are many people here in Beijing.) Here there is a beautiful tower in Shanghai. (Instead, -> Here in Shanghai, there is a beautiful tower.) Here there are many cherry blossoms in Japan. (Instead, -> There are a lot of cherry blossoms here in Japan.) Hopefully it add some knowledge to your learning. Cheers!
