What would be the correct sentence using er?

"Er zitten veel leuke dingetjes in de tas"?

"Er zijn veel leuke dingetjes in de tas"?

    why not "er zijn vele grappige voorwerpen in de zak"?!?

      what about "in het tasje" or even "in het zakje"?...

      tas = bag
      tasje = handbag
      kleine tas = small bag
      klein tasje = small handbag

      zak = bag
      zakje = small bag

      Please correct me if I'm mistaken!

        Is there a reason that when I write "in de tas" it gets corrected to "in de tasje" and when I write "in de tasje" the next time, it gets corrected to "in de tas"???

          In that case you wrote in het tas, which will be corrected to tasje since it's de tas.

          Kan "In de tas zitten _er veel leuke dingetjes"_ ook?
