there be結(jié)構(gòu)是初中英語中一個(gè)比較重要的句型。使用時(shí)要注意以下幾種情況:
1.“There be+主語+地點(diǎn)(時(shí)間)”表示“某處有……”,there是引導(dǎo)詞,無詞義,be是謂語動(dòng)詞,主語位于be之后。如主語是單數(shù),be動(dòng)詞用is;如果是復(fù)數(shù),be動(dòng)詞用are。如:
There is a book on the desk. 書桌上有一本書。
There are some students in the playground. 操場上有一些學(xué)生。
2.There be 結(jié)構(gòu)中,若主語是不可數(shù)名詞,則謂語動(dòng)詞用is。如:
There is some water in the glass. 玻璃杯中有一些水。
Is there any milk in the bottle? 瓶子中有牛奶嗎?
3.There be結(jié)構(gòu)中,如主語不止一個(gè),謂語動(dòng)詞的形式則根據(jù)第一個(gè)主語確定。在英語中這叫“就近原則”。如:
There is a pen and two books on the desk.
書桌上有一支鋼筆和兩本書。
There are two pens and a pencil in the pencil-box.
文具盒中有兩支鋼筆和一支鉛筆。
用be的適當(dāng)形式填空
①There ____ a watch on the chair.
②There ____ many books in her bag.
③There ____ some money in my purse.
④There ____ a big tree and some flowers in the picture.
⑤There ____ some pencils, a pen and a clock on the table.
Keys:①is ②are ③is ④is ⑤are
4.There be 結(jié)構(gòu)的否定式,是在be之后加not。
There is not an American boy in our class.
我們班上沒有一個(gè)美國男孩。
5.There be結(jié)構(gòu)的一般疑問句是將be動(dòng)詞提到句首。如:
——Is there a car in front of the house? 房子前面有一輛小汽車嗎?
——Yes, there is. 是的,有一輛。
——Are there any birds in the tree? 樹上有一些鳥嗎?
——No, there arent. 不,沒有。
6. 如果對there be結(jié)構(gòu)中的主語進(jìn)行提問,則用What+be+there+時(shí)間(地點(diǎn))?如:
There is a book on the desk.→
What is there on the desk?
7.如果對there be結(jié)構(gòu)中主語的定語進(jìn)行提問,則往往用how many(much)+主語+be+there+時(shí)間(地點(diǎn))?如:
(1)There are seven days in a week.→
How many days are there in a week?
(2)There is a little juice in the bottle.→
How much juice is there in the bottle?
8.there be與have的區(qū)別:
(1)have表“所屬”關(guān)系的“有”;there be指某處“有”。如:
This man has a brother in Beijing. 此人有個(gè)弟弟在北京。
There are many books on the desk. 桌子上有很多書。
The desk has four legs. 書桌有四條腿。
There are many people in the room. 房間里有很多人。
(2)在have含“所有”的意義較弱的情況下,可與there be互換。如:
We have much rain this year.=There is much rain this year.
今年下了不少雨。
There is a map on the wall.=We have a map on the wall.
墻上有張地圖。
The wall has a hole in it. =Theres a hole in the wall. 墻上有個(gè)洞。
A year has 365 days.=There are 365 days in a year. 一年有365天。
