Hello everyone,
I have got a question again.
Could you please help me with that? Thank you!
Here are the sentences.
There is a fly in the room. Can I say " In the room is a fly" instead.
or they got different ideas for each.
Thank you!
Sabrina

Hello,
I think that you could say the first like the second sentence (but I'm not really sure)

Hello
The first is the most common. The second is understandable, but not typical; it might be used for a certain literary effect.
