(5) there be 与 have 的比较
①用法不同
There be 表示某个时间或地方“存在”某人或某物,而 have 表示主语“拥有”某人或某物,作宾语的某人或某物属于主语所有。
②结构不同

Sb./sth+have+sb./sth.

(6) there be 的非谓语形式有两种,即 there to be 和 there being.
①作主语
当作主语时,一般是 there being 结构;当句式中有 for 时,一般用 there to be 。例如:
There being a shop here is a great advantage.
这儿有个商店,真是方便极了。
It is impossible for there to be any more.
不可能再有了。
②作宾语
作动词宾语时,一般用 there to be 结构。常见动词有: expect, mean, intend, want, prefer 等。
③作状语
在句首作状语表示原因﹑条件﹑方式时常用 there being 形式;

由于没有公共汽车,我们不得不走着回家。
如果作目的﹑结果状语,则常用 there to be 形式:

为了有一个更舒适的生活空间,她决定买那套带美丽花园的公寓。
2. there be句型的扩展用法
(1) there be+ 主语
这种句式表示事物的客观存在, there be 放在句首,而把真正的主语放在后面,可以用来表示现在时﹑过去时﹑完成时和进行时。例如:
