there be句型结构
there be句型结构:there be +人或物+地点
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。There be 句型的构成形式一般为“There is/are + 某物/人 +某地/时”,表示某地/时有某物/人。
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。
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.
