Правило
В общем вопросе меняем порядок слов:
There is → Is there…?
There are → Are there…?В специальном вопросе ставим вопросительное слово:
What is there…? — «Что находится…?»
How many … are there…? — «Сколько … находится…?»some, somebody, something обычно используются в утвердительных предложениях.
any, anybody, anything — в вопросах и отрицаниях.
Проверка: в предложениях с одним предметом используется is, с несколькими — are. В № 61, предложение 8: после отрицания — anything, а в утвердительной части — something.
