⑴ There be ...句型表示的是“某处有(存在) 某人或某物”，其句式结构：
1. There be (is，are) +名词+地点状语
否定句：There isn’t / aren’t…
一般疑问句：Is/ Are + 主语+…?
肯定回答：Yes, there is/are. 否定回答：No, there isn’t/aren’t.
⑵There be 句型中的主谓一致原则
There be句型中be动词的形式要和其后面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”。
如果句子的主语是复数名词，be动词就用“are”。
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”。
