【语法】there be 结构
1、 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, was, were )+名词+地点状语。There are fifty-two students in our class. There is a pencil in my pencil-case.
2、 用法:
1.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)
There is an orange in her bag. →There isn’t an orange in her bag. →There is no orange in her bag.
There are some oranges in her bag. →There aren’t any oranges in her bag. →There are no oranges in her bag.
There is some juice in the bottle. →There isn’t any juice in the bottle. →There is no juice in the bottle.
1. 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。
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.)
There is something new in today’s newspaper. →Is there anything new in today’s newspaper?
2. 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:
There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?
There are some bikes over there. →What’s over there?
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):
There is a computer in my office. → Where is the computer? ----It’s in my office.
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:
There are twelve months in a year. →How many months are there in a year?
There is only one book in my bag. → How many books are there in your bag?
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:
There is some money in my purse. → How much money is there in your purse?
3. 反意疑问句: There be 或 There 加其它动词,其反意疑问句一律用…there?
There is a beautiful girl in the garden, isn’t there?
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。
