英语写作指导-存在于四海八荒的“There be”句型
There be句型表示“存在;有”,应用十分广泛和频繁,同时也是考生在写作中易犯错误的一个句型,考生经常会按照汉语的思维习惯写英语句子,导致语法错误。它的基本结构是:There be (be可用各种时态)+名词+地点状语。
There are also many species of rare plants protected here.(2021·天津3月高考书面表达)
这里还有许多珍稀植物受到保护。
There will be a wide variety of acivities to mark this unforgettable occasion.(2019·全国卷Ⅲ书面表达)

在他的桌子上有一台新电脑。(电脑在桌子上)
He has a new computer.

(2)There be句型中谓语动词的人称和数应与后面主语保持一致。若后面有两个或两个以上的名词作主语时,则应采取“就近原则”,即谓语应与邻近的主语在数上保持一致。
