Hello,
I often hear German pupils say (when giving a talk about a country):
(1) "There live (...) million people in (...)"
I tell them to start their sentence with the subject.
-->(2) "(...) million people live in (...)"
Is ONLY the second way correct, or can a sentence like this be started differently? What other ways are there to express the same? (You want to tell somebody how many people live in a country.) I'd be grateful for some examples.
Tom
