「Sentence Structure」

「Describing the existence of animate and inanimate things」

「A」テレビがある/あります。
　Terebi ga aru/arimasu.
There is a TV set.

「B」男の子がいる/います。
 Otoko no ko ga iru/imasu.
There are boys.

In Japanese, two different verbs are used to express the idea that someone or something exists. Aru ("there is") is used with inanimate objects such as books, plants, buildings, etc,, while iru ("there is") is used with animate objects such as people, animals, and insects. The polite forms are arimasu, and imasu, respectively.
When the particle mo ("also") is used in a sentence where the topic is of the existence of someone or something, it replaces the subject marker ga.

Examples:
交番があります。
Kōban ga arimasu.
There is a police box.

警官がいます。
Keikan ga imasu.
There is a policeman.

白い鳥がいる、青い鳥もいる。
Shiroi tori ga iru. Aoi tori mo iru.
There are white birds. There are also blue birds.
