一、构成:There be ...句型表示的是 “某处有(存在)某人或某物”,其结构为There be(is,are )+名词+地点状语。例如:
1) There are fifty-two students in our class.
2) There is a pencil in my pencil-case.
二、各种句式:
否定句:在be后加上“not”,也可用“no”来表示。即:no + n.(名词)= not a\\an\\any + n.(名词)。例如:
1) There is an orange in her bag.
→There isn’t an orange in her bag.
→There is no orange in her bag.
2) There are some oranges in her bag.
→There aren’t any oranges in her bag.
→There are no oranges in her bag.
3) There is some juice in the bottle.
→There isn’t any juice in the bottle.
→There is no juice in the bottle.
一般疑问句:There be结构的一般疑问句变化只需把be动词移到句首,再在句尾加上问号即可。例如:
4) There is some money in her handbag.
→ Is there any money in her handbag? (疑问句和否定句中,some改为any, something改为anything.)
5) There is something new in today’s newspaper.
→Is there anything new in today’s newspaper?
特殊疑问句:There be句型的特殊疑问句有以下三种形式
① 对主语提问:当主语是人时,用 “Who’s + 介词短语?”;当主语是物时,用 “What’s + 介词短语?”。其中there在口语中常常省略。注意:无论原句的主语是单数还是复数,对其提问时一般都用be的单数形式(回答时却要根据实际情况来决定)。如:
6) There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?
7) There are some bikes over there. →What’s over there?
8) There is a little girl in the room. →Who is in the room?
② 对地点状语提问:用 “Where is \\ are + 主语?”表示(注意其答语变化):例如:
9) There is a computer in my office.
→ Where is the computer? ----It’s in my office.
10) There are four children in the classroom.
→Where are the four children?
--They’ re in the classroom.
③ 对数量提问:一般有两种提问方式:
如果主语是可数名词,无论是单数还是复数,都用“How many +可数名词复数 + are there + 介词短语?”表示:
11) There are twelve months in a year.
→How many months are there in a year?
12) There is only one book in my bag.
→ How many books are there in your bag?
13) There is a cat in the box.
→ How many cats are there in the box?
如果主语是不可数名词,则用“ How much + 不可数名词 + is there + 介词短语?”表示:
14) There is some money in my purse.
→ How much money is there in your purse?
三、用法:
1. There be句型中be动词的形式要和其后的主语在人称和数上保持一致。
1)There is a basketball in the box.
2)There is a little milk in the glass.
3)There are many birds in the tree.
如果有两个或两个以上的名词作主语,be动词要和最靠近它的那个主语在数上保持一致,也就是我们常说的 “就近原则”。例如:
5) There is an orange and two bananas in the basket.
6) There are two bananas and an orange in the basket.
2.There be +名词+地点/时间状语
There was a party in the hall last night.
3.由there be构成的固定句型
There is something wrong with … = Something is wrong with …
There is something wrong with my bike. = Something is wrong with my bike
There is\\are sb \\sth doing sth .
There is a bird singing in the tree.
7. There be句型和have\\has的区别:There be句型表示 “存在有”, have\\has表示 “拥有” “所有”,两者不能同时使用.例如:
1)The tree has many apples on it.
2)There are many apples on the tree.
3)There have many apples on the tree.(×)
4)There’s a picture on the wall.
5)There are six rooms in this house.
