There be句型的几种特殊结构

There be 句型的几种特殊结构及其用法Ann never dreams of _________ for her to be sent abroad very soon．

A）there to be a chance

B）there being a chance

C）there be a chance

D）being a chance

该题的答案为B）。动词dream of 要求跟V-ing 分词结构作宾语，更准确地讲是介词of 后要求跟V-ing 分词结构作宾语，there being a chance意为"有一个机会"

又如：No one had told Smith about ____ a lecture the following day．

A）there be B）there would be C）there was D）there being

D）。介词about 后要求跟V-ing 分词结构作宾语，there being（a lecture）意为"有（一个讲座）"，

It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping，singing，or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound．

该句子中出现了for there to be 的结构，如果按照上一题的解题思路去理解：介词后要求跟V-ing 分词结构作宾语，那么，这一结构似乎是错的；但是，实际上此结构没有错，这就是本文想要解答的问题：there be 句型的特殊结构及其用法。

一、there be句型与各种情态动词连用。

例如：There must be something wrong here．

There might still be some vacant seats in the rear．

There seems no doubt that the general character of the landscape，the relative length of day and night，and the climate must all play a big part in determining what kind of people we are．There have occurred many great changes since we met last．

三、there be 句型中的谓语动词be被一些不及物动词代替，如live，stand，exist，remain 等，用来表示"静止、存在、有"。例如：

五、there be句型中be用不定式，形成"（for）there to be ＋宾格词"结构，表示"有"或"存在（某种情况）"，在"（for）there to be ＋宾格词"的结构中，主语是宾格词。这种不定式结构在句中作逻辑宾语、状语和主语。

1．"there to be ＋宾格词"在句中作宾语。例如：

The students expected there to be more reviewing classes before the final exams．

there to be ＋宾格词"结构在句中作动词expect的宾语，句中的宾格词m ore review- ing classes作"there to be"不定式结构的逻辑主语。特别应该注意的是there后的不定式只能用"to be"的形式，因为这种不定式结构是从"there be"结构转化而来的。又如：

People don’t want there to be anotherwar．

Members like there to be plenty of choice．

It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping，singing，or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound．

六、there be句型中be用V －ing分词，形成"（of）there being ＋宾格词"结构，表示"有"或"存在（某种情况）"，在"（of）there be- ing ＋宾格词"的结构中，主语是宾格词。1．"there being ＋宾格词"在句中作宾语。例如：
