1、there be用法大全 1. 基本结构 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: There are fifty-two students in our class. There is a pencil in my pencil-case. There was an old house by the river five years ago. 二、各种句式: 否定句:There be句型否定句式的构成和含有be动词的其它句型一样,在be后加上
2、not”。也可用“no”来表示。即:no + n.(名词)= not a\an\any + n.(名词)。注意:no + n.(可数名词单数)= not a\an + n.(可数名词单数);no + n.(可数名词复数)= not any + n.(可数名词复数);no + n.(不可数名词)= not any + n.(不可数名词)。例如: There is an orange in her bag. →There isn’t an orange in her bag. →There is no orange in her bag. There are some oranges i
3、n her bag. →There aren’t any oranges in her bag. →There are no oranges in her bag. 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: There is some money in her handbag. → Is the
4、re any money in her handbag? (疑问句和否定句中,some改为any, something改为anything.) There is something new in today’s newspaper. →There isn’t anything 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
5、 + 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)
6、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 t
7、welve 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. H
8、ow 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”。
9、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 ban
10、anas 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
11、 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 th
12、ree books. 2. 主谓一致 要采取就近一致原则,和靠近 be 的主语一致。如: There is a pen, two rulers in the box. 盒子里有一只钢笔,两把尺子。 There are two boys and a teacher at the school gate. 门口有两个男孩,一个老师。 3. There be+名词+分词 这种句式中分词可以是现在分词,也可以是过去分词。doing表示动作和前面名词有主谓关系,过去分词done和前面名词有被动关系。如: There is a man sitting on the
13、 fence. 有个人正坐在篱笆上。 There was a car stolen last night. 昨晚有辆车被偷了。 这种句式可以用"主语+be+分词"这一结构来代替。例如: There is a boy playing with a puppy in the yard. ( = A boy is playing witha puppy in the yard.) 一个男孩正在院子里和一只小狗玩耍。 There has been more money spent on armaments than on famine relief. (=More mon
14、ey has been spent on armaments than on famine relief.) 花在军备上的钱比花在救灾上的钱还多。 4. 反意疑问句。 反意疑问句应与 there be 对应,而不是依据主语。如: There is a radio on the table, isn't there? 桌子上有一台收音机,是吧? There are more than fifty classes in your school, aren't there? 你们班有50多名学生,是吧? 5. there be 与 have 的替换 ther
15、e be 表示所属时可与 have 替换。 There is nothing but a book in my bag. = I have nothing but a book in my bag. 包里只有一本书。 6. there be 后接不定式时常用主动形式表示被动意义。如: There is a lot of work to do. 有许多工作要做。 注意:当该句型主语是 something, anything, nothing 等不定代词时,后面的不定式用主动形式或被动形式,意义各不同。 There is nothing to do. 没有事可做。
16、 There is nothing to be done. 没有办法(束手无策)。 7. 与其它词连用,构成复合谓语。如: There may be a rain this afternoon. 今天下午可能有雨。 There used to be a cinema here before the war. 战争之前,这儿有一家电影院。 8. 变体 there be 结构中的 be 有时可用 live, stand, remain 等代替。如: Once there lived a king who cared more about new clothes
17、 than anything else. 从前有位国王喜欢新服胜过别的任何东西。 9. 习惯用语 There is no good /use (in) doing sth. 做某事没有好处/用处;There is not a moment to lose. 一刻也不能耽误。例如: There is no good making friends with him. 和他交朋友没有什么好处。 He is very ill. Send him to hospital. There's not a moment to lose. 他病得厉害,把他送到医院去,一刻也不能耽误。
18、 There be表示存在的“有”,他有各种时态,如: 一般现在时:there is/are;一般过去时:therewas/were 一般将来时:there will be;过去将来时:there would be; 现在完成时:there has/have been;过去完成时:there had been 要特别注意be going to 在there be 句型中的运用。例如: There is going to be a film in the meeting hall.学校礼堂里将有一场电影。 还可扩展为许多其它句型,下面笔者对There be句
