There are some delays vs There is some delays

The correct phrase is 'there are some delays.' 'Delays' is a plural noun, so it should be paired with the plural form of the verb 'to be', which is 'are.' 'There is some delays' is incorrect because 'is' is singular and does not match the plural noun 'delays.'
