【句型解构】“There be+主语+非谓语动词”句式中,非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰前面的主语。
(1)There be+主语+doing(表主动和进行)
(2)There be+主语+done(表被动和完成)
(3)There be+主语+to do(表将来)

(3)There are some clothes ________ (wash).
单句语法填空
swimming
killed
to wash
4. I still don’t think that anything can beat my mum’s homemade sausages, though.
本句话的语序本应是:I still think that anything can not beat …。在这里使用了否定前置。当主语是第一人称且动词是表示心理活动的词,如think,expect,hope,believe等,要将后面从句中的否定词提前,构成否定前置。汉语翻译时,否定词要放回原来的位置。
eg I don’t believe he can solve it. =
I believe he cannot solve it.
