There is... and There are... are similar in meaning to “I have/We have/It has”. You can say: There is a kitchen and a living room downstairs. We have a kitchen and a living room downstairs. The house has a kitchen and a living room downstairs. We use There is...to talk about one thing or person and There are...to talk about many things or people. There is a kitchen. There are two girls in the garden.

We use It is... / It’s...to describe something. It’s lovely. It’s a small house. After It is..../ It’s...we can use an adjective(big, beautiful, lovely, quiet) or an adjective + a noun( a big house, a beautiful park, a lovely garden). We use They are...to describe many things or people: Look at the trees. They are big. I like my neighbours. They are friendly.
