Would and should are modal verbs commonly used in conditional sentences to express different shades of meaning. Here's how they are typically used:
There is/There are
The construction there is /there are is known as an existential construction in English grammar. It is used to indicate the existence of something or someone. The there is/there are has a different structure compared to the typical subject-verb-object (SVO) sentence structure. In there is/there are sentences, the word there serves as a placeholder or dummy subject, and the real subject comes after the verb.
