there be的定义:There be 句型是英语中常用句型, 意思是“有”,表示“人或事物的存在”或“某地有某物”。There在此结构中是引导词,已经没有副词“那里”的含义。
用法:
1、There be后面的名词是句子的主语,属倒装结构。
2、疑问句形式是将be或will/have/can/must等助动词、情态动词提至there之前,否定形式则直接在be或助动词、情态动词后加not,因此要表达“某个地方或某个时间存在什么事物或人”的时候常用“There be+名词+地点(时间)这一句型。
3、There be 句型中的be应和其后出现的主语在数上一致,即“就近原则”。
4、如果主语是复数名词,却表示一笔金额或一个总数或表达一个单个概念时,则仍用单数be形式。
5、There be 中的be有时可以是lie,stand,used to be,seem to be,appear to be 等。
6、There is(was)+no +动词ing结构相当于It is(was) impossible to +动词原形。
