Grammar Points 语法提要:

1.“there be”句型是表示在什么地方存在有什么东西或人,如:教室里有很多学生,图书馆里有很多书。句子的主语往往是“物”而不是“人”。这跟“我有”,“你有”,“他有”(I have,you have,he has)是不一样的,这些句子的主语是“人”,不是“物”。但是,书面语的“修辞手法”中也有“拟人化”,有时也可用:这栋楼有三层,桌子有四条腿。The house has three stories.The table has four legs.但是如果说:这栋楼周围有很多树,桌子上有很多书,仍然要用there be句型:There are many trees around the house.There are many books on the table.你理解了吗?

2.“there be”句型的句子变成疑问句,只需把系动词be(is,are)提到句首。

陈述句:There is a computer on the table.

一般疑问句:Is there a computer on the table?

3.如果句子前面加了疑问词what,那么这个特殊疑问句的排列就变成了:“疑问词+一般疑问句”what+ is(are)+ there……

4.“there be”句型的句子是倒装句时,其中的be用is还是are,取决于后面第一个主语是单数还是复数,如:

There is a laptop and two cellphones on the desk.

There are two cellphones and a laptop on the desk.
