UNIT 82
There... and it...

A. There's a new fried chicken restaurant near here. Let's go together.

I'm sorry I'm late. There was a car accident.

It= a specific thing, place, fact, situation, etc.

We went to the new chicken restaurant. It was excellent. (It= the restaurant)

Compare there and it:
I like the library in the school. There are really many books. It's great place to read the books I want.

The Daegu chicken restaurant is very good. I went there (=to the restaurant) last night.

B. there will be, there must be, there might be, there used to be, etc.:

Will there be many cars on the highway?

"Is there a available room in the hotel tonight?" "There might be."

There is a car in the parking space. There must have been someone in the house.

The building is now a cafe. It used to be a restaurant.

There is sure to be a bus to Seoul tonight.


C. It's hard to eat ice cream from refrigerator immediately.

It's too bad to hear the news her father passed away.

It's been a long time since I saw you.

It was sunny. ;)
