Etymology

Adverb

there (not comparable)

(location) In a place or location (stated, implied or otherwise indicated) at some distance from the speaker (compare here).

(figuratively) In that matter, relation, etc.; at that point, stage, etc, regarded as a distinct place.

(location) To or into that place; thither.

(obsolete) Where, there where, in which place.

In existence or in this world; see pronoun section below.

Usage notes

• The use of there instead of they're (meaning they are) or their (possessive form of they) is a common error in English writing.

• (to or into that place)

There is sometimes used by way of exclamation, calling attention to something, especially to something distant; such as in the phrases There, there!, See there and Look there!

There is often used as an expletive, and in this use, when it introduces a sentence or clause, the verb precedes its subject.

There is much used in composition, and often has the sense of a pronoun. See thereabout, thereafter, therefrom, etc.

Synonyms

• (at or in a place): over there, away there (at some distance); thither (archaic); yonder (archaic or dialect)

• (to or into that place): over there, away there (at some distance); thither (archaic); yonder (archaic or dialect)

Interjection

Noun

Pronoun

there

Used as an expletive subject of be in its sense of “exist”, with the semantic, usually indefinite subject being postponed or (occasionally) implied.

Used with other intransitive verbs of existence, in the same sense, or with other intransitive verbs, adding a sense of existence.

Used with other verbs, when raised.

(in combination with certain prepositions, no longer productive) That.

(colloquial) Used to replace an unknown name, principally in greetings and farewells

Usage notes

• In formal English, the verb agrees with the semantic subject: “there is a tree”, “there are some trees”, “there seems to be a mistake”, “there seem to be some mistakes”, and so on. This is because the "there [form of be]" construction originally used, and could still be said to use, "there" as simply an adverb modifying "to be". However, the syntax is archaic enough that "there" is rarely recognized as an adverb. In colloquial usage, therefore, the verb is often found in the third-person singular form, even when the semantic subject is plural — “there’s some trees”, “there seems to be some mistakes” — but this is often considered incorrect.

Contraction

there

Misspelling of they’re.

Determiner

there

Misspelling of their.

Anagrams
