ait vs soit
I don't understand why "for fear there will be a gas leak" uses "ait" instead of "soit" -- what's the general rule? I know a person "has" hunger or thirst but in this case there's no person involved...

Bonjour Lee !
In French, to say "there is/there are", you use the expression "il y a" (literally: 'it has there').
Have a look at the lesson:
Il y a = There is/There are in French
À bientôt !

Oh yeah... dumb of me. I just didn't recognize it in the subjunctive. Thanks.
