Well, as we are talking English, you have spelt "to" wrong, it should be "too"

People - sentences starting with there and here have the subject after the verb. Just invert the sentence: Too many people are on the elevator. Elevator is an object; prepositional phrases never contain the subject of the sentence. For those who say elevator, just take on the elevator out of the sentence. This isolates the subject.

OK, stop it- the least you could do is post the questions under different headings instead of naming them all, "English Question." Go read your English textbook, pay attention in class, and stop trying to pick our brains for your easy A.

Hilariously, it seems that you've gotten every different answer as a response to your question.
I agree with the above poster, just do your own work.
