Subject: How do you use Existential Sentences Naturally?

 
Hello. We are studying at Hosei University in Japan. We major in English
linguistics and study about new information and given information of
existential sentences. We learned that new information is placed after ''there
is (or are)''. However, there is a case that given information is placed after
''there is (or are)''.
So we are going to ask questions about it.
