There is 3

Three is plural, so the form of the verb "is," should be *are.*

There are 3...... and since the number is under ten..... you're supposed to write it out:

There are three.


** Oh, and it is not incomplete. A sentence is a sentence when it has both a subject and a verb. You don't need a direct object or subject compliment to complete a sentence. The word "there" is a place. (A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.) Therefore, the subject is "there." The verb is "are" which is a form of the infinitive "to be," which is a linking verb. The word "three" is an adjective that's used as a subject compliment. Subject and verb are in place- sentence is complete.

1) It is a question not a sentence.
2) There isn't an apostrophe between the t and the s in "whats".
3) Sentence is mis-spelt.
4) There isn't a full stop at the end of the "supposed" answer.
5) Although 3 is an adjective and adjectives don't usually take plural forms, nouns do. One can only omit the noun if it is clear what the noun is. If one understands the noun to be mistakes, the auxiliary verb "be" should be in the plural form -are.
Quite a lot of mistakes for one small statement, aren't there?

Whats should be What is, sentance is spelled wrong.

Wrong verb form in second sentence, should be "are" instead of "is".
3 should be spelled out as three.

You never say what there are three of.

Sentence has no puncuation.

1. It is not a complete sentance. There is three what?
2. There is three is wrong. There ARE three would be the corect grammar.
3. There is no period at the end.

First, it's a question, not a sentence. Whats should be What's. Next, sentence is misspelled.
The third, instead of "There is 3" it should be There are 3. The fourth mistake is that there is nothing after 3. 3 what? Mistakes? No punctuation mark?

Lol, nobody knows which of the two possible sentences you refer to! You could be saying tehre are three problesm with the question, or asking us to correct the statement that there are three.

In which case
There ARE Three. Missing a fullstop, the word ARE should be used in place of IS.

The first sentence is missing the apostrophe from what's, sentence is spelled as I spell it, and technically conjunctions are not always tolerated so you may prefer to write sentence:

What is wrong with this sentence?

There are three.

"There are three"

Whats wrong with this sentance? ==>what'S wrong with this sentEnce? (grammatical mistake & spelling mistakes)
There is 3 ==> There are three.

==> there must be five mistakes instead of three.
==> so there are six mistakes. <== (meaning mistake. ) :))

Does that satisfy you, guy?

If you intended that IS to be the verb; the sentence should read, There is the number 3.

There could also be a missing article, e.g. "There is a 3" referring to a dropped playing card

without a context it's hard to be definite, but certainly "there is 3" is an incomplete fragment.
