Questions & Answers about Il y a plusieurs sortes de fromage.

Does plusieurs change because sortes is feminine?
No, it doesn't! Plusieurs (several) is an invariable adjective, meaning it only has one form. Whether the noun it describes is masculine or feminine, it always stays as plusieurs.
Why is il y a used here for 'there are'? Isn't that singular?
The expression il y a translates to both 'there is' and 'there are' in English. It is a fixed phrase in French, so it doesn't change to a plural form even when it introduces a plural concept like plusieurs sortes.
Why is it de fromage instead of du fromage?
When you use a phrase that expresses a category or type, like sortes de (kinds of), you just use the preposition de without combining it with a definite article (le, la, les). It is exactly like saying 'kinds of cheese' in English instead of 'kinds of the cheese'.
Why is fromage singular if there are 'several kinds'?
In French, when talking about types or categories of a general substance, the substance itself often stays singular. You are referring to the general, uncountable concept of 'cheese' here, so it is written as fromage.
