there be 结构的用法。要注意下列八种情况:(1)“There be + 主语 +地点(或时间)状语”表示“这里有……”。 there 是引导词,无词义, be 是谓语动词,主语位于 be 之后。主语是单数,动词变为 is ,是复数, be 变为 are 。如:There is a boat in the river. 河里有条船。There are some flowers near the house. 房子附近有些花。(2) There be 结构中,主语若是不可数名词,谓语动词 be用单数 is 。如: There is some water in the glass. 杯里有些水。There is some bread on the table. 桌上有些面包。(3) There be 结构中,若主语不止一个, be 的形式一般根据第一个主语来定,单数或不可数名词用 is ,复数用are 。在英语中这叫“就近原则”。如:There is a house, four trees and some hills in the picture.画里有一幢房子,四棵树和几座小山。There are some books, two pens and a ruler on the desk. 书桌上有些书,两支笔和一把尺。(4) There be 结构的否定式,是在 be 后加 not 。如:There is not a car in the picture. 画里没有小汽车。 There are not any children in the river. 河里没有孩子。(5) There be 结构的一般疑问句,是将 be 提到 there 前,回答用简略形式。如:-- Is there a map on the wall? 墙上有地图吗?-- Yes, there is. (No, there isn’t.) 是的,有。(不,没有。)-- Are there any birds in the trees? 树上有鸟吗?-- Yes, there are. (No, there aren’t.) 是的,有。(不,没有。)(6) 若对 there be 结构中的主语提问,则把疑问词 what 放在句首,后接“ be + there + 状语?”,此时 there 常被省略。如:There is a house near the river. (对划线部分提问) 河边有座房子。What’s (there) near the river?There are two men in the room. (对划线部分提问) 房间里有两个男人。What are (there) in the room?(7) 若对 there be 主语的定语提问,则用句型“ How many (much) + 主语 + are (is) +there + 状语?”,主语是可数名词用 How many ,主语是不可数名词则用 How much 。如:There are five bottles on the table. (对划线部分提问) How many bot...
