How can you tell when 'there' is used as an adverb or as an introductory verb?

There generally is a pronoun.  It only seems to be used as a \nadverb in older language, eg. Shakespeare, or the bible - "The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed." — Genesis 2:8\n\nI've never seen it used as a verb.  Anyway, check out these pages -\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There\nhttp://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/there

however, not all native English speakers write or speak grammatically correct.\n\ni spot an error that could be overlooked by many in your sentence. "........., the first thing they usually mention is.."\n\nwould be better if "...........the first thing they usually mention has.."

They are interjections since they have no syntactical connection with other words and rather work as sentences themselves.\nThey are also sometimes considered adverbs.\n\nI hope this helps.

1. There are a lot of books. (example on cooking here)\n\n2. There is a lot of books.\n\nWhen the subject (Books) is plural the verb always changes. In this case its third person plural form of the verb "to be". That is why, you have to use are instead of is.\n\nIf you have to say the same sentence with singular (Book) then its:-\n\nThere is a book (on cooking here).\n\nConjugation of the verb to be:-\nSingular\nFirst Person:- I am\nSecond Person:- You are\nThird Person:- It is\n------------\nPlural\n1st Person:- We are\n2nd Person:- They are\n3rd Person:- They are\n\nHope this helps!

To be is an auxiliary verb in the present progressive tense- example I am shopping, we are watching, she is listening.\n\nHave is an auxiliary verb in the present perfect- example She has done her work, They have seen the show. \n\nI discard the kiss if you are a guy. If you are a girl, I'll take the kiss.\n\nKitty is what we call in this country- a dumbass. It wasn't a yes or no question, Kitty.

All is used with plural nouns and pronouns.  Every is used with singular nouns and pronouns.\n\nAll the children.\nEvery child.\n\nAll the people.\nEvery one.\n\nAll the cakes.\nEvery cake.\n\nI could go on.  That's probably the easiest way to explain it.  You don't always have to use "the" with "all", but it's quite common.

You use "then" when you are talking about timing -- something that happens next.\n\n"You ask a question, then you get a bunch of answers."\n\nYou use "than" when you are making a comparison.\n\n"You are hoping that we know more about grammar than you do."\n\nI hope that helps.

"which was to be demonstrated" is the literal translation, but it could be "thus it is demonstrated" as well.\n\nBasically, after making finishing an equation or making a logical point, it is the equivilent of saying:  "See how I did that?"

You can say:\n\n"I disagree" OR "I'm disagreeing"\n\nBasically, English grammar works such that if you use the verb "to be" as a helping verb to indicate a continuous action you *must* use the -ing suffix on your main verb.\n\nOther examples to help you get the idea.\n\nI swim.  I am swimming.\nI run.  I am running.\nI read.  I am reading.\n\nNormally, the verb "to disagree" requires an object.  E.g. "I disagree with [blank]" OR "I am disagreeing with [blank]."  However, if the object is clear from the context it can be omitted.\n\nExample 1:\n\nJoe Schmo:  Cats are stupid.\nJane Schmo: I disagree.\n\nIn this example, it is clear from the context what Jane disagrees with.\n\nExample 2:\nJane Schmo: I am disagreeing with Joe concerning the notion that cats are stupid.\nJohn Suave: Interesting.  Tell me more.\n\nIn this example, Jane must use an object in order to explain the context to John.  And, in the structure of this sentence, the entire phrase following "with" is the object.\n\nThis is a somewhat simplified explanation, but I hope that helps.

Ask the experts on this field and that would be teachers/instructors who had been teaching the English Grammar for so so so long.  Better still hear them first when they talk and ask them personally of the correct usage.

lol okay I'll try to explain first of all its [()] only when nessary which is rare.\nNow it gets kind a weird but () can be used both in the middle and at the end of a sentance (with the period like this). But only if its short. (I know its weird but if whats inside is a complete idea and not a momantary pause with short bit of info it can actually go like this.) Hope this helps.
