2It's a perfectly normal part of informal speech for me and millions of other English speakers. I wouldn't use it in a formal situation. – Colin Fine Jun 20 '21 at 10:57

1Does this answer your question? Can we use "there is" for plural nouns? Also There's vs There are and The use of “there is” and “there's” and There's vs there're, among others. – FumbleFingers Jun 20 '21 at 11:38
