What is the correct grammar for following sentence There a mistake in your bill or on bill?

The correct grammar for the sentence is:

"There is a mistake in your bill."

Here's why:

* "There" is an expletive, a word that fills a grammatical position but has no real meaning. It's used to introduce the real subject of the sentence, which is "a mistake."

* The verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "a mistake."

* "In your bill" is a prepositional phrase that modifies the noun "mistake," indicating where the mistake is located.

"On bill" is grammatically incorrect because it lacks a definite article ("the") before "bill" and doesn't make sense in this context.
