'es gibt' (there is/are) + accusative

'es gibt' means "there is" or "there are" and is always followed by the accusative. It is a fixed expression: the es never changes, and gibt stays the same whether what follows is singular or plural.

• Es gibt einen Park. - There is a park. (masculine, so ein → einen)
• Es gibt eine Apotheke. - There is a pharmacy. (feminine, no change)
• Es gibt ein Problem. - There is a problem. (neuter, no change)
• Es gibt viele Leute. - There are many people. (plural)

Because the noun after es gibt is a direct object, the masculine article changes just like with other accusative verbs:

• Hier gibt es einen Supermarkt. - There is a supermarket here.
• In der Stadt gibt es einen Bahnhof. - In the city there is a train station.

When the sentence starts with another word (like hier or in der Stadt), the order becomes gibt es - the verb stays in second position.

Common mistakes:

• Forgetting the accusative on a masculine noun: Es gibt ein Park is wrong; it must be einen Park.
• Making gibt plural - it never changes, even before plural nouns (es gibt viele Parks).

'es gibt' (there is / there are) is always followed by the accusative.

'es gibt' stays the same for singular and plural and is followed by an accusative object.

'es gibt' wird immer mit dem Akkusativ verwendet.
