Click on the link below to read a description of different ways we can use "there is" or "it is" in the English language. The writer explains what a "dummy" subject is--if there is no other subject, we use "there" or "it"--but how do you know which one to use?
My suggestion: Click on the link below. Read the explanation of dummy subjects and the examples of using when to use "there" or "it" as the subject of a sentence (a copy of the first part of the explanation appears just below the link). Then scroll to the bottom of the screen for a short quiz in which you choose between "there" or "it" in the sentences.
