There be ...句型表示的是 “某處有(存在)某人或某物”,其結(jié)構(gòu)為There be(is,are,was,were  )+名詞+地點狀語.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.






否定句：There be句型否定句式的構(gòu)成和含有be動詞的其它句型一樣,在be后加上“not”,也可用“no”來表示.即：no + n.（名詞）= not a\an\any + n.（名詞）.注意：no + n.（可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)）= not a\an + n.（可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)）；no + n.（可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)）= not any + n.（可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)）；no + n.（不可數(shù)名詞）= not any + n.（不可數(shù)名詞）.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 in 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.




一般疑問句：There be結(jié)構(gòu)的一般疑問句變化只需把be動詞移到句首,再在句尾加上問號即可.例如：

There is some money in her handbag. 
→ Is there any money in her handbag?(疑問句和否定句中,some改為any,something改為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?




特殊疑問句：



There be句型的特殊疑問句有以下三種形式： 


① 對主語提問：當主語是人時,用 “Who’s + 介詞短語?”；當主語是物時,用 “What’s + 介詞短語?”.其中there在口語中常常省略.注意：無論原句的主語是單數(shù)還是復數(shù),對其提問時一般都用be的單數(shù)形式(回答時卻要根據(jù)實際情況來決定).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 對地點狀語提問：用 “Where is \ are + 主語?”表示（注意其答語變化）：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 對數(shù)量提問：一般有兩種提問方式： 


如果主語是可數(shù)名詞,無論是單數(shù)還是復數(shù),都用“How many +可數(shù)名詞復數(shù) + are there + 介詞短語?”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?



如果主語是不可數(shù)名詞,則用“ How much + 不可數(shù)名詞 + is there + 介詞短語?”表示：


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



反意疑問句：There be或There加其它動詞,其反意疑問句一律用…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?
