What is the proper grammar there have come a time or There has time?

Neither "there have come a time" nor "there has time" is grammatically correct. Here's why and how to fix it:

Correct Usage:

* There has come a time.

Explanation:

* "There has" is the correct present perfect tense to indicate that a situation or event has occurred at some point in the past and continues to be relevant in the present.

* "Come" is a past participle used to form the present perfect tense of the verb "to come."

* "A time" is the singular noun representing the specific time that has arrived.

Common Mistakes:

* "There have come a time" is incorrect because "have" is used with plural subjects, and "a time" is singular.

* "There has time" is incorrect because it's missing a verb after "has."

Example:

* There has come a time when we must face the truth.
