A post says
I like living in London because it’s where most of my family members and friends live and there have lots of things to do here.
I guess the following sentence means the same thing as the one above
... there are lots of things to do here
Are "there are" and "there have" interchangeable?
You are right, that sentence should have been
... there are lots of things to do here
as you mentioned. What @ColinFine says in the comments:
... they have lots of things to do here
is grammatically correct but makes less sense; why would one like living in London when their family and friends have a lot of things to do there?
