'''Look at these examples.'''
'''There are''' too many people. I’ll go some other time.
'''There is''' a lot of space in our new house. The kids love it!
'''There are''' many jobs around. You just have to look for them.
'''There is''' too much noise in my new office and I can’t really work.
'''There are''' five bedrooms in that house.
'''When you translate these examples into Polish, what word do you start with?'''
'''Jest''' za dużo ludzi...
'''Jest''' mnóstwo miejsca ...
'''Jest''' za duży hałas ....
'''Can you see the problem for the Polish learners? There seems to be one more word in English in this structure; similarly in the plural.'''
'''There are''' different ideas but we have to choose one.
'''Są''' różne pomysły ...
'''It becomes even more difficult when you look at these examples.'''
'''It’s''' warm today.
'''It’s''' a long way from here to the university.
'''It’s''' Friday.
'''It’s''' 2 o’clock.
'''In Polish the first word is ''jest'' again:'''
'''Jest''' ciepło ...
'''Jest''' daleko ....
'''Jest''' piątek.
'''Jest''' druga.
'''So it’s really important to understand the difference between ''there is'' and ''it is''.'''
'''Look at those examples again and decide whether we use ''it'' or ''there'' when we talk about'''

'''When you start describing your house, your flat or your office, you may notice some problems that somebody else will have to solve for you. For example:'''
There are two printers in our office but none of them works properly. We must '''have them repaired'''.
There is an extra bedroom upstairs. We’ll '''have it renovated''' next month.
''To have something done'' means to arrange for someone to do it for us.
''We must have it repaired'' means that we must find someone to repair it for us.
''We’ll have it renovated'' means that we’ll arrange for someone to renovate it for us.
If you say ''I’ll repair the printer'' you mean to do it yourself.
'''Look at this example.'''
Sue often washes her car but Tim always has his car washed.

'''Again for Polish learners this may be a bit confusing. In Polish you may say ''Muszę sobie przyciąć włosy'' even if you don’t mean to do it yourself. In English you have to say ''I must have my hair cut''. If you say ''I have to cut my hair'', people may start worrying about you!'''
