there be 句型
there be 的基本句型为:there be +人或物+地点。
There be 结构通常被称为存在句,主要表示某处存在某物,并不表示所属关系,经常译为“有”。其中的there为引导词,无词义,be为谓语动词,there be后面的名词为句子主语,这个结构的一般现在时包括there is 和there are。There be 句型变化较多,例如有肯定句,否定句和疑问句,有时态的变化,另外还涉及到主谓一致的的情况。
“There be + 主语(某人/某物)+ 介词短语”,表示“(在)某地有某人/某物”。这里的be动词单复数形式采取就近一致原则,即和靠近be的主语保持一致。
结构:
1、There be 句型中的be 应和其后出现的补充语在单复数上保持一致,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,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lie,stand,used to be,seem to be,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 near the river.
There used to be a castle at the foot of the hill.
