特殊疑问句

特殊疑问句：

There be句型的特殊疑问句有以下三种形式：

①对主语提问：当主语是人时，用“Who’s + 介词短语?”；当主语是物时，用“What’s + 介词短语?”。其中there在口语中常常省略。注意：无论原句的主语是单数还是复数，对其提问时一般都用be的单数形式(回答时却要根据实际情况来决定)。如：There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?

There are some bikes over there. →What’s over there?

There is a little girl in the room. →Who is in the room?

②对地点状语提问：用“Where is \ are + 主语?”表示（注意其答语变化）：例如：

There is a computer in my office.

→Where is the computer? ----It’s in my office.

There are four children in the classroom.

→Where are the four children?—They’ re in the classroom.

③对数量提问：一般有两种提问方式：

如果主语是可数名词，无论是单数还是复数，都用“How many +可数名词复数+ are there + 介词短语？”表示：

There are twelve months in a year.

→How many months are there in a year?

There is only one book in my bag.

→How many books are there in your bag?

There is a cat in the box.

→How many cats are there in the box?

如果主语是不可数名词，则用“How much + 不可数名词+ is there + 介词短语？”表示：

There is some money in my purse. How much money is there in

your purse?

反意疑问句：There be或There加其它动词，其反意疑问句一律用…there? 例如：There is a beautiful girl in the garden, isn’t there?

There used to be no school here, used there \did there?

三、注意事项：

1. There be句型中be动词的形式要和其后的主语在人称和数上保持一致。

如果句子的主语是单数的可数名词，或是不可数名词，be动词用“is”“was”。例如：

There is a basketball in the box.

There is a little milk in the glass.

如果句子的主语是复数名词，be动词就用“are”“were”。例如：

There are many birds in the tree.

There were many people in the street yesterday.

如果有两个或两个以上的名词作主语，be动词要和最靠近它的那个主语在数上保持一致，也就是我们常说的“就近原则”。例如：

There is an orange and some bananas in the basket.

There are some bananas and an orange in the basket.

2. There与be中间可插入一些表推测的情态动词、表时态的短语和一些动词短语(如和将来时be going to\ will、现在完成时have\has + pp. 、used to结构等连用，注意其构成形式,这一内容在我们日常练习中经常出现错误,是一难点,也是历年中考试题中的一个考点.)。例如：

There must be a pen in the box.

There happened to be some money in my pocket.

There is going to be a meeting tonight.

There has been a big tree on the top of the hill.

There used to be a church across from the bank.

3. There be句型和have\has的区别：

There be句型表示“存在有”, have\has表示“拥有” “所有”,两者不能同时使用.例如：桌子上有三本书. There are three books on the desk.

我有三本书. I have three books.
