英语表示某地/某时有某物/某人时,常用There be... 结构,其句型为:There be (is / are)+ 名词(某物/某人) + 介词 + 地点(时间).
There be的意思是"有",be是系动词,它要根据后面的单词的单、复数形式来决定是用is 还是are。There be 位于句子的开头,它的句型与其它句型一样,也有肯定句、否定句和疑问句的变化.下面让我们来看看There be...的用法.
一、There is接单数名词或不可数名词:
There is an English book on the desk.(肯定句) 在课桌上有一本英语书。
There isn't any milk in the cup.(否定句) 在杯子里没有牛奶。
Is there a pen in the pencil case?(疑问句) 在铅笔盒里有一支钢笔吗?
二、There are接复数名词:
There are many animals in the zoo.(肯定句) 在动物园里有许多动物。
There aren't any apples in the bag.(否定句) 在袋子里没有苹果。
Are there 31 days in this month?(疑问句) 在这个月有31天吗?
三、 在There be句型中是用There is还是用There are, 应该看be 动词后面的名词,如果是单数则用There is; be 动词后面的名词,如果是复数用There are:
There is a river and many trees near the house.
在房子附近有一条河和许多树.
There are many trees and a river near the house.
在房子附近有许多树和一条河。
四、There be句型的肯定句变为否定句
将There be句型的肯定句变为否定句,就直接在be的后面加上not即可(常
用缩写形式isn't或aren't)。若肯定句中有some,要将其变成any。如:
There are some books on the desk.→
课桌上有一些书。
There aren't any books on the desk.
课桌上没有书。
五、There be句型的一般疑问句及肯、否定回答
There be句型的一般疑问句较简单,在肯定句的基础上将be提到句首,句末加上问号即可,若肯定句有some,也要将其变成any。
肯定回答是:Yes,there are/is;
否定回答是:No, there aren't/isn't。
