Language / "są" is used when it's plural - Polish Language question. [10]

Cześć.
I am learning Polish from Rosetta Stone. I'm not very far and already having some grammar questions. I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Here is goes:
There is a pic with 6 chairs. I have to pick "jest" or "są". So the correct answer in full is this, " Tu jest sześć krzeseł."

Now, another pic is of 2 beds. I pick "są" to get the right answer. Here it is: " Tu są dwa łożka."

Why? I was assuming that "są" is used when it's plural.
I would appreciate any guidance here.

Dziękuje Bardzo

I haven't covered cases of nouns. Rosetta Stone uses a "figure it out" way of teaching. I have been using polish to english translation pages to help do some explaining that I believe that Rosetta Stone should be explaining.

Wlodzimierz, I now have reservations about continuing, my goal of speaking Polish seems unattainable now. But, I did make a commitment and will go on as long as I can. Does anyone have any suggestions on another program that is better than Rosetta Stone?

Thanks for the advice everyone. Taylor, I already downloaded Michel Thomas, I absolutely LOVE it. First CD is already answering my, "Why?". It starts from CD 1 with explanations. I can't thank you enough. I think my game plan is going to change to finishing all 8 of Thomas' CD's, then I will continue the Rosetta Stone. I will also look into the Hurra Po Polsku.(Dzięki Ziutek) I think my problem was having sole faith in Rosetta Stone alone. For any future readers having difficulties with Rosetta Stone, get the Michel Thomas CD's, it'll take you down a new and improved avenue.

Again to you all,
Dziękuje Bardzo
