VIII. Language points
1. It’s across from the park.
across from 意为“在……对面”
e.g. 银行就在我们学校对面。
_________________________________
The bank is across from our school.
【拓展】 across 作介词，意为“从一边到另一边；横过”。
e.g. Can you swim across the river?

辨析 cross和across
cross是动词, 意为“横过, 穿过”。
e.g. Cross the street, and you can see a school.
穿过这条街, 你可以看见一所学校。
16
across是介词, 意为“横过, 穿过”, 常和表示位置移动的动词go, walk, swim等连用。

1. 肯定句结构：There be (is，are)+名词+地点状语
e.g. 在我的铅笔盒里有两块橡皮。
_____ ___ two erasers in my pencil box.

e.g. 这附近有餐馆吗？
____ ______ a restaurant near here?
教室里有学生吗？
____ _____ any students in the classroom?
二、There 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。
(1) 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”。
e.g. 紧挨着邮局有一个投币电话。
_____ __ a pay phone next to the post office.
(2) 如果句子的主语是复数名词，be动词用“are”。
e.g. 公园里很多树。
_____ ____ many trees in the park.
(3) 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”。
16
e.g. 在桌子上有一个桔子和几根香蕉。
_____ ___ an orange and some bananas on the table.
在桌子上有几根香蕉和一个桔子。
_____ ___ some bananas and an orange on the table.
三、There be结构与have的区别
There be结构表示“客观存在”；have表示“主观所有”。
