Welcome to the forum. :hi:

First, please note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should be unique and relevant to the thread, and should contain some/all of the words/phrases/sentences you are asking us about. Your original title "There question" would not have helped to distinguish it from loads of other threads on the forum.

Have you seen both of those word orders used when you've been reading something in English? If so, where, and in what context?

 

[probus]

They are both correct but differ in meaning.

Why are people everywhere there?

That means that a place (for example, England or Yonkers) is overrun with people and we'd like to know why.

Why are there people everywhere?

That means why do people inhabit the entire world.

Why are there people everywhere?
This could also mean, in the right context, Why do we see people all around us in this location?

 

[White Hat]

They are different in meaning, aren't they?

 

[5jj]

Probus has already shown that they are.

 

[Suicedent]

So, I cannot understand yet. These two options are correct or not? If they are, Do they have difference or I can use them both in the same sentences ?

[STRIKE]So, I cannot[/STRIKE] I don't understand yet. Are these two options [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] correct or not? If they are, do they have [STRIKE]difference[/STRIKE] different meanings or can I [STRIKE]can[/STRIKE] use them both in the same [STRIKE]sentences[/STRIKE] sentence?

Please note my corrections above.

How would you use both of them in the same sentence?

How would you use both of them in the same sentence?

I'm pretty sure Suicedent means "can I use them interchangeably in the same (longer) sentences [because they have the same meaning]?"

Suicedent, probus and 5jj already answered your question clearly and accurately, with definitions.

Honestly, I was sure all the time that the option "Why are people everywhere there" was only correct option where the word "there" must be in the sentence until I and my friend started to discuss about it. I'm confused right now.

Thank you, I guess I get it now.

Thank you. I guess I get it now.

I would like to see you use those sentences within some kind of context.
