Question

There _______ a large amount of new students in our school this year. A. is B. are C. be D. were

为什么 选B 请明理

Answer 1

there be 句中be后的名词短语是真正的主语，主谓一致主要考察这个名词短语的核心词
a large amount of new students 的核心词是students
所以用复数
this year排除D
选B

Answer 2

因为后面使用的是students是复数，所以要使用are
there be 句型

追问

there be 后接a large amount of new students 不因为他是复数

追答

there be这里的be是要我们根据后面所加上的名词来确定使用 is 还是are，或者是was or were

Answer 3

因为 a large amount of new students 是复数，根据there be 的就近原则所以选B

Answer 4

因为在这个there be句型中，there 是指a large amount of new students ,是复数.同时有this year ，所以B

Answer 5

首先后面主语是复数形式，所以在B和D中选择。其次看时态，时态是现在时，因为后面有明显的时间提示“this year”，所以选B

Answer 6

There are () STUDENTS in our school this year.
定语里的A不影响关键词的复数特性。
