there has been change vs there have been changes

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'There has been change' is correct when referring to a singular change or a specific event. On the other hand, 'There have been changes' is correct when talking about multiple changes or a general situation. It's important to match the verb 'has' or 'have' with the appropriate subject.
