Guys when you want to make a sentence with there + be Do you care whether there is a singular or plural object or you always use the singular form since it can be used in spoken language a lot ?
- Inglês (EUA)
Do you mean "There is a cake on the table" or "There are two cakes on the table," for example?
You want to use the correct singular or plural object.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
@JohnKD actually I saw that some people used there is and there was even though the objects of sentences are plural so I wondered whether caring object is plural or not is important for native people

@Levitron Ohh, OK.
Sometimes when speaking people will just say "There's." So for example, "There's a lot of cakes on the table." It isn't grammatically correct, but native speakers do it and no one really notices.
