Language points
1.Do you think there will be robots in people’s homes?
你认为人们家里将有机器人吗?
这是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句。其中,“Do you think”是主句部分,“there will be…”是从句部分,从句部分整个句子作为think 的宾语。
如果do you think放在句中,则为插入语,常放在疑问词之后,结构为:疑问词+do you think+主语+谓语+其他成分?
你认为他是一名老师吗?
Do you think he is a teacher?
there be句型遵循“就近一致”的原则,即离be近的是单数或不可数名词,be动词就用单数;离be近的是复数名词,be动词就用复数。
