there be 句型结构分析

Answer 1

关于there be句型的结构分析如下：

1、There be句型中的be应和其后出现的补充语在数上一致，即“就近原则”，如：

There is a lamp on the table。

There are some apples in the bowl。

There are five books，two pens and a ruler in the school bag。

There is a ruler，two pens and five books in the school bag。

2、如果补语是复数名词，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，如：

There is five hundred dollars to pay。

There is still another 20 miles to drive。

There is duck and green vegetables for supper。

3、There be 中的be有时可以是liestand，used to be，seem tobe，appear to be等，如：

There lies a river to the south。

There lived an old man in the small house。

There stood a temple nearthe river。

There used to be a castle at the foot of the hill。

4、There is（was）tnot+doing：结构相当于Itis（was）impossible to+动词原形，如：

There is notgoinghome。=It is impossible to gohome。

There is not living with him。=It is impossible to livewith him。

There is not knowing what may happen。=It is impossible to know what may happen。
