掌握“there be”句型的多种时态与表达形式,用准确结构描述事物的存在与数量。
📌 一、结构说明:什么是“There be”句型?
“There be”结构用于说明某地或某处“有”什么事物或人:
- There is a book on the table.
(桌子上有一本书。)
其中,“there”不是主语,仅作引导;真正的主语是“a book”。
📌 二、时态变化一览
时态 | 肯定句示例 | 否定句 | 一般疑问句 |
---|---|---|---|
一般现在时 | There is a cat in the room. | There isn’t a cat… | Is there a cat…? |
一般过去时 | There was a storm last night. | There wasn’t a storm… | Was there a storm…? |
一般将来时 | There will be a test tomorrow. | There won’t be a test… | Will there be a test…? |
💡注意:be 动词需与时间和主语一致。
📌 三、数量表达:单数与复数的选择
- There is a dog in the yard.(yard中只有一只狗)
- There are three dogs in the yard.(yard中有三只狗)
主语在后,be动词看主语!
📌 四、可拓展结构:加入副词、介词短语
- There is still hope.
- There were many students in the hall.
- There will be a meeting at 3 p.m.

📌 五、典型易错分析
❌ There have a lot of people in the park.
✅ There are a lot of people in the park.
错误原因:混淆“have”与“there be”的功能。
“There be”表存在,“have”表拥有。
📌 六、实战练习题(选词填空)
用适当形式的 there be 填空:
- There _____ (be) a pen and two books on the desk.
- There _____ (be) many stars in the sky last night.
- _____ there any milk in the fridge?
👉 **提示:**注意并列主语的动词形式取决于最靠近动词的主语。
🎯 学习小贴士
🟡 当主语是并列结构(如“a pen and two books”),用 复数形式 are / were。
🟡 遇到“不可数名词”(如water、milk),be动词仍用 is/was。
