e.g.There are two girls in the computer room?(对划线部分提问)
Where are the two girls?
对数量提问:一般有两种句型结构:
How many+复数名词+are there+介词短语?
How much+不可数名词+is there+介词短语?
e.g.There are forty-five students in the classroom.(对划线部分提问)
How many students are there in the classroom?
There are three bottles of water on the desk.(对划线部分提问)
How much water is there on the desk?
考点三、there be句型中动词be的形式。
1、There be句型中动词be在各种时态中的形式:
一般现在时(there is/are)
一般过去时(there was/were)
一般将来时(there is/are going to be或there will be)
过去将来时(there was/were going to be,there would be)
现在完成时(there have/has been);
与情态动词连用,构成“there+情态动词+be”的形式;
e.g.There is an apple on the desk.(一般现在时)
There will be a meeting tomorrow(一般将来时)
There was a meeting in No.1 classroom yesterday.(一般过去时)
There was going to be a meeting in No.1 classroom.(过去将来时)
There has been a building in the small town.(现在完成时)
考点四、there be句型反意疑问句的构成:be(not)there?
反义疑问句又叫附加疑问句,它表示提问人的看法,没有把握,需要对方证实。
反义疑问句有两部分构成:前一部分是一个陈述句,后一部分是一个简短的疑问句,两部分的时态应保持一致。
陈述部分肯定式+疑问部分否定式
陈述部分否定式+疑问部分肯定式;
同样,陈述部分为“There be…”句式的反意疑问句,简短问句由“be的适当形式+there”构成。需要注意的是陈述部分中是否有seldom,hardly,little,few,no,nothing,nobody之类的否定词或半否定词。若有,该部分应看作否定意义,简短问句部分则用肯定式;如果陈述部分含有表示否定意义前缀的单词,该部分仍应看作肯定意义,简短问句部分要用否定形式。
e.g.There is little milk in the fridge,_is there_?变成反义疑问句
冰箱里几乎没有牛奶了,是吗?
There is nobody in the classroom,is there?
没有人在教师,是吗?
There are many people in the meeting room,aren’t there?
会议室有许多人,不是吗?
反义疑问句的回答用yes,no,但是,回答意思相反,当陈述部分是否定形式时,回答要按事实:(例句)
考点五、there be句型的主谓一致:
There be结构中的be动词要和后面所跟名词保持一致,遵循就近原则。
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。当主语是不可数名词时,动词英语单数形式。
e.g.There is an apple on the table.桌子上有一个苹果
There are five apples on the table.桌子上有五个苹果
