there be句型
一、there be句型：
句型基本结构：
There is+主语(可数名词单数或不可数名词)+时间或地点。There are + 主语（可数名词复数）+ 地点
在there be 句型中，
主语是可数名词单数， be 动词用is
主语是复数，be 动词用are
如有几件物品并列（用and连接），be 动词根据最接近be 动词的那个名词决定。例如：
(1）There is a pen on the desk.
(2)There are two books on the desk.
(3)There is a pen and two books on the desk.
(4)There are two books and a pen on the desk.
二、there be句型与have(has) 的区别：
1.there be 表示在某地有某物（或人）；
have(has) 表示某人拥有某物。
（1）There is a dog in the box .箱子里有条狗
（2）I have a pen .我有一支铅笔。
2．在句子中含有have/has的句型中，究竟是选用have还是has，则由主语的人称来决定。例如：
（1）I have a dog and a cat.我有一条狗和一只猫
(2)She has two rabbits.她有两只兔子。
She/He/It 是第三人称单数
对某一个人的称谓是第三人称单数

“There be句型”详解 There be 句型 1. 定义：There be句型表示某处存在某物或某人。 2. 结构：(1) There is +单数可数名词/不可数名词+ 地点状语. (2) There are +复数名词+地点状语. there是引导词，在句中不充当任何成分，翻译时也不必译出。句子的主语是某人或某物，谓语动词be要与主语（某人或某物）的数保持一致。当主语是两个或两个以上的名词时，谓语动词要与跟它最近的那个名词一致。 eg. ①There is a bird in the tree. 树上有一只鸟。 ②There is a teacher and many students in our classroom. 我们教室里有一位老师和许多学生。 ③There are two boys and a girl under the tree. 树下有两个男孩，一个女孩。 1）.There be句型与have的区别 首先，从含义上说，There be表达的是“某地有某物”。 如，There is a tree in front of the house。房子前有一棵树。 而have讲的是“某人/某物拥有……”即指出的是宾语的所有者。 如：I have an interesting book。我有一本有趣的书。 The chair has three legs。这把椅子有三条腿。 其次，从直观上对比不难发现，一般There be句型直接置于句首，而have前面要有主语。这是因为There be句型是一个倒装句型，主语在be动词后。 2.）There be句型的就近原则 There be句型的就近原则也是主谓一致语法项目的重点考点。There be句型中be动词的单复数形式由后面挨近的一项的单复数决定。 如：There is a pen, two books and many pencils on the desk。 在本句中尽管有钢笔、书和铅笔，但是由于离be动词最近的一项是单数a pen，因此，be动词用单数is。 3）.There be句型的否定和疑问 There be句型的疑问句是把题目中具体的be动词形式提前，否定是在be动词后加not。但是一般后面的名词前有a或any，那么此时not any或not a可以转化为no。 如：There isn’t a book in the bag.=There is no book in the bag。 关于There be句型的反意疑问句需要特殊说明的是，后面的疑问部分要用使用句型原貌，不能将there改成it或其他代词。 如：There was a meeting yesterday, wasn’t there?不能写成wasn’t it。 4）.There be句型的时态 There be句型的时态根据时间状语和就近原则分别为： 一般现在时There is/are 一般过去时There was/were 一般将来时There is going to be/There will be 还有There used to be；There must/may/can be等形式。其中，一般将来时的形式在初中考试中常出现。

There be 句型的用法：表示某个地方存在某物或某人，Be动词的单复数必须依主语的变化而变化。单数is 复数are 如：房间里有一张桌子。There is a table in the room. 树上有很多鸟。There are some birds on the tree. 一、There be 句型的结构： 1.（一）There is+单数可数+地点状语 例：There is a ruler on the desk. 书桌上有一把尺。 （二）There are+复数主语+地点状语 例：There are four apples on the tree. 树上有四个苹果。 There are some flowers in the park. 公园里有许多花。 （三）there is + 不可数名词+地点状语（即使有some 也是单数） 例：There is some water in the bottle. 瓶子里有一些水。（水是不可数名词） 2. There be选择就近原则：There be句型的就近原则是There be句型中语法项目的重 点考点。There be句型中be动词的单复数形式由最挨近的一项的单复数决定。 如：There is a pen, two books and many pencils on the desk. 在本句中尽管有钢笔、书和铅笔，但是由于离be动词最近的一项是单数a pen，因此，be动词用单数is。 二、There be 句型的疑问句及回答 （一）There be 句型的疑问 1. 在“There is/are...”的疑问句中,要把Be动词放在there之前,并将句号变问号。难点:句中出现的some要改成any。 2. 肯定回答为：Yes, there is/are. 3. 否定回答为: No, there isn’t/aren’t. 例句可数名词单数1. 肯定句There is an apple on the tree. 疑问句Is there an apple on the tree? 肯定回答: Yes, there is. 否定回答: No, there isn’t. 可数名词复数2. 肯定句There are five pens on the desk. 疑问句Are there five pens on the desk? 肯定回答: Yes, there are. 否定回答No, there aren’t. 不可数名词的时候 3.肯定句There is some water in the cup. （水是不可数名词） 否定句Is there any water in the cup? 肯定回答: Yes, there is. 否定回答: No, there isn’t. 三、There be 句型的否定形式 （一）There be 句型的否定：否定形式只要在be动词后面加not即可，is not =isn’t are not= aren’t 但要注意的是句中如果出现some则改成any. 1.There is a knife in the kitchen. 否定:There is not a knife in the kitchen. 2.There are five apples on the tree. 否定:There are not five apples on the tree. 3.There is some ink in the bottle. 否定:There is not any ink in the bottle. （ink是墨水，不可数名词） 4.There are some birds singing in the tree. 否定:There are not any birds singing in the tree.

There be句型的用法 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、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. 一.根据所给汉语完成句子。 1. 桌子上有一本书和两支钢笔。There _____ a book and two pens on the desk. 2. 钱包里有些钱。There ____ some money in the picture. 3. 在吉姆的书包里有一些卡片。____ _____ some cards in Jim’s bag. 4. 里面还有其他的东西吗_____ _____ anything else in it 5. 我们学校有许多班。There _____ many _____ in our school. 6. 树上没有鸟。There _____ ______ birds in the tree. 二.选择填空： 1.
