therebe句型操练

There be句型

There be句型

一、构成：There be ...句型表示的是“某处有(存在)某人或某物”，其结构

为There be(is，are，was, were )+名词+地点状语。例如：

1) There are fifty-two students in our class.

2) There is a pencil in my pencil-case.

3) There is an old house by the river .

二、各种句式：

否定句：在be后加上“not”,也可用“no”来表示。即：no + n.（名词）= not a\an\any + n.（名词）。

例如：1）There is an orange in her bag. →There isn’t an orange in her bag.

→There is no orange in her bag.

2) There are some oranges in her bag. →There aren’t any oranges in her bag. →There are no oranges in her bag.

3）There is some juice in the bottle. →There isn’t any juice in the bottle.

→There is no juice in the bottle.一般疑问句：There be结构的一般疑问句变化只需把be动词移到句首，再在句尾加上问号即可。

例如：4) There is some money in her handbag. → Is there any money in her handbag? (疑问句和否定句中，some改为any, something改为

anything.)

5) There is something new in today’s newspaper.→Is there anything

new in today’s newspaper?

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(be)形式(回答时却要根据实际情况来决定)。

如：6) There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?

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

8) 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：9) There is a computer in my office. → Where is the computer?

----It’s in my office.

10) 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：

11) There are twelve months in a year. →How many months are there in

a year?

12) There is only one book in my bag. → How ma ny books are there in your bag?

13) 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：

14) There is some money in my purse.→ How much money is there in your purse?

三、用法：

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。

1)There is a basketball in the box.

2)There is a little milk in the glass.

3)There are many birds in the tree.

4)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：5) There is an orange and some bananas in the basket.

6) There are some bananas and an orange in the basket.

2) Is there going to be a dancing party tonight?

3) There is not going to be a meeting tonight.
