there's

Points out existence

There's is the contraction of "there is" or "there are," used to introduce existence or presence: There's a fly in my soup, There's no way I'm doing that.

In casual speech, there's often precedes plural nouns where "there are" would be grammatically standard: There's three people waiting outside.
