The thesis is usually at the beginning of the essay. It states what you will talk about in the essay. It's kind of like a preview.
Answer:
There is good reason to be thankful.
E-V-S (Expletive-Verb-Subject)
Explanation:
Unlike most sentences, this sentence does not follow the usual pattern of Subject + Verb, instead, it begins with an Expletive, then a verb and lastly the subject.
<em>There</em> is the expletive because it is a word without meaning that does not add to the sense of the sentence, and that, instead, is inserted to give emphasis, it acts as an intensifier.
<em>Is</em> is a conjugation of the verb “be” in present and it indicates the existence of the subject.
Lastly, <em>good reason to be thankful</em> is the subject because it is the thing that is being discussed in the sentence.
