"is" is used for 3d person singular or uncountable
e.g: Anna is pretty (singular) or
The milk is in the fridge (uncountable)
"are" is for 2nd person singular and plural or 3rd person plural
e.g: You are late again (2nd singular/ plural) or
Anna's parents are Swedish (3rd plural)
Although in the U.S. you might hear the phrase "there is many people" ( is + plural) which is grammatically wrong but it's used in everyday speech

∙ 14y agoIs and are are both forms of the verb "to be".
1st person: Singular: (I) am
1st person: Plural: (We) are
2nd person: Singular and Plural: (You, You all) are
3rd person: Singular: (He/She/It) is
3rd person: Plural: (They) are
Therefore, are is generally used when talking about plural items, such as "The strawberries are ripe early."
Is is generally used when talking about singular items, such as "The cat is crossing the street."
