there're

Some things exist

There're is a contraction of "there are," used in casual speech and informal writing: There're too many cooks in this kitchen.

The contraction is awkward to pronounce and looks odd on the page, so many speakers avoid it in favor of the uncontracted form or the grammatically questionable but common there's with plural subjects.
