3．探究乐园
探究学习there be句型。
(1)“there be 句型”表示的是“某处有(存在)某人或某物”，其句式结构：
①There 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.
②there 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可数名词，或是不可数名词，be动词用“is”。
如果句子的主语是可数名词复数，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”。
