英语中,There be句型常表示某处有某人或某物。
例如:There are always more than one hundred birds in the big tree every evening. 每天傍晚那棵大树上总会有100多只小鸟。
一、There be句型的用法:
1)There与be中间可插入一些表示推测的情态动词、表示时态的短语和一些动词短语,以强调某种语气。
例如:There must be some flowers in the box. 盒子里肯定有些鲜花。
There happened to be some money in my pocket.我的口袋里碰巧有一些钱。
There will be a meeting this afternoon.注意:be不能换成have及have的变化形式。
2)There be句型常与过去时间状语连用,构成一些固定句型,用于故事发生的开头,交代故事发生的时间。
例如:Many years ago,there was such a beautiful girl called Caixia.很久以前有一个叫彩霞的美丽女孩。
3)There be句型可换成There come / go,以引起注意,加强语气。
例如:There comes the bus公共汽车来了。
4)There be句型或There加其他动词的句型,其动词的单复数,常采用就近一致的原则。
例如:There is a desk, two chairs and three benches in the room. There are two chairs, a desk and three benches in the room. 5)There be或There加其他动词的句型,其反意疑问句一律用…there挂 例如:There is a cat in the garden, isn't there挂 There used to be no house here, used there / did there挂(过去这儿没有房子,是吗？)
二、使用There be句型时应注意:
1)There be句型中的be 有各种时态。
There is going to be a meeting tonight.今晚有个会议。
There was a knock at the door.有人敲门。
There has been a girl waiting for you.有个女孩一直在等你。
There will be rain soon.不久天就要下雨了。
2)动词be单复数形式要跟there be之后的主语保持一致。并且要根据就近一致原则来变换be 的单复数形式。例如:
There is a book on the desk.课桌上有一本书。
How many people are there in the city挂这个城市里有多少人口。
There is a pen and two books on the desk.课桌上有一个钢笔和两本书。
There are two books and a pen on the desk. 课桌上有两本书和一个钢笔。
There are some students and a teacher in the classroom. 在教室里有一些学生和一位老师。
There is a teacher and some students in the classroom. 在教室里有一位老师和一些学生。
3)there be引到的句子结构中,用来修饰主语的不定式用主动形式和被动形式均可。
例如:There is no time to lose (= to be lost).时间紧迫。
There is nothing to see (=to be seen).看不见有什么。
4)There be句型的否定句和一般疑问句。记住下面的口诀:There be句型有特点,主语放在be后边。变否定,很简单,be后要把not添。变疑问,也不难,把be提到there之前；肯定句中有some, 否定/疑问把any换。
例如:(1). There is a book on the desk. (变否定句) →There is not / isn't a book on the desk. (2). There are some chairs in the room. (变否定句) →There are not / aren't any chairs in the room. (3). There are some boys over there. (变一般疑问句) →Are there any boys over there？5)There be句型和have/has的区别:There be 表示某物存在于某个地方, have/has表示某人拥有某一样东西。
例如:There is a book on the desk.书桌上有一本书。
I have a book. 我有一本书。二者有时也可以通用,表示"某物本身拥有……"。
例如: The classroom has ten desks. = There are ten desks in the classroom. 教室里有十张桌子。【典型例题解析】
例1、some rice in the big bags. A.There's B.Have C.Has D.There are 解析:there be 句型表示某地有某物,而have/has 是指某人或某物拥有,本题是指大袋里有一些米,而rice为不可数名词,故答案为A。
例2、There is still orange here, but people want to drink
it. A. little, little B. a little, few C. a little, a few
D. a few, little 解析:根据题意orange为"橙汁"之意,故为不可数名词,应以little或a little修饰；people本身为复数名词,应该用few 或a few修饰,此题意为"没有几个人想喝橙汁",根据题意可知此题答案为
:B 例3、There aren't any (土豆) in the shop. 解析:前面为there are要用复数,potato也应该用其复数形式,即potatoes。
