本が：A book/Some books
本は：The book/The books

Do you mean I have made an error? Should it really be "a book" and "some books"?

It seems wrong to me. が implies that 本 is indefinitive.

I am not an English native speaker, but I am a bit confused by that structure.

Shouldn't there rather be: There is a book on the table?
