AEIS英语中关于there be句型的用法如下:
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.
一、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“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 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 there 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 + 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?
二、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”,两者不能同用。
