What idiomatic phrase is used to describe where a general object is located? est il y a et droite

Bonjour

Which idiomatic phrase is used to describe where a general object is located ?

est ==> is

il y a ==> there is

et ==> and

à droite ==> on the right (side) on your right

with a feminine object

if you want to say "The (A) table is on the right side " ==>

"Il y a une table à  droite".  (There is a table on the right side)

OR

La table est à droite  (The table is on the right side)

OR

Elle est à droite.  (une table : feminine noun = elle) => it's on the right side

with a masculine object

The (A) store is on the right side

Il y a un magasin à droite. (there is a store on the right side)

OR

Le magasin est à droite.   T(he store is on the right side)

OR

Il est à droite (un magasin : masculine noun =  il) ==> it's on the right side

with a plural noun

Il y a des voitures à droite. (There are cars on the right side)

OR

Les voitures sont à droite. (The cars are in the right side)

Elles sont à droite (They are on the right side)

As you noticed, when you write "there is" or "there are" in English,  in French "il y a" is 'invariable". It never changes. Plural : il n'y a pas

Just note that, as in English, you use an indefinite article (un, une, des) with "il y a" = 'there is' or 'there are'

Hope it will help

Merry Xmas :)

this commercial passage is a real success. all the shops are great! there is a small biocoop to out with bio from quality, a well-known pastry chef, a wine seller, an italian brasserie offering midday meals on a superb terrace where the dishes are plentiful, the food is quality, the ice creams are made by the owner early in the morning and a very nice bookstore located in a pleasant setting and out of time. the highlights are relevant and well presented, we feel a real expertise on the part of booksellers and not just a desire to sell. lesrayons are filled with beautiful things for young and old. and very lively. you wouldn't think you were in strasbourg. an ideal place to spend delicious moments around a good coffee, a typical italian dish, a trendy pastry shop while reading a good book bought in the bookstore.
