there be句型
知识梳理
一、there be句型的概念
there be句型也被称作“存在句”,表示某处有某物,或某时有某事。be动词受
人称、时态等影响。
如:There is an apple on the table.
There is some apple juice in the bottle.
There are many people in the street.
There was some milk in the fridge yesterday, but now there is little.
There were five toy buses in the living room.
There will be a football match this Sunday.
在小学阶段,there be句型的重点是be动词的is和are两种形式。
【注】there be句型中be动词用单数形式还是复数形式由最靠近be动词的名
词来决定。
如:There is an apple and two oranges on the table.
There are two oranges and an apple on the table.
二、there be句型的结构
1. 肯定形式
(1)There is+a/an+可数名词单数形式+地点.
如:There is a map on the wall.
There is an egg in the bowl.
(2)There is some+不可数名词+地点.
如:There is some water in the bottle.
(3)There are+可数名词复数形式+地点.
如:There are four people in my family.
(4)There is/are+名词+地点+时间.
如:There is a kite show in the park on Sunday.
2. 否定形式
直接在be动词之后加not。
如:There is not(isn’t) a map on the wall.
There are not(aren’t)any students on the playground.
3. 一般疑问句形式
将be动词前置,陈述句就变成了一般疑问句,句号改为问号。回答用“yes”
或“no”。
如:—Is there a map on the wall?
—Yes, there is. /No, there isn’t.
—Are there any students on the playground?
—Yes, there are. /No, there aren’t.
4. 特殊疑问句形式
there be句型的特殊疑问句有以下三种形式:
(1)What’s+地点?
如:There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?
There are five boats on the lake. →What’s on the lake?
【注】“What’s+地点”的句型结构不受单复数的影响,且there 在问句中不
出现。
(2)Who’s+地点?
如:There is an old woman in the old house. →Who’s in the old house?
(3)How many+名词的复数形式+are there+地点?
如:There are 48 students in my class. →How many students are there in your
class?
There is only one rabbit on the grass. →How many rabbits are there on the
grass?
【注】如果名词是可数名词,无论其数量是1还是大于1,一律都用“How
many+可数名词的复数形式+are there…?”提问。
(4)How much+不可数名词+is there+地点?
如:There are 3 bottles of milk in the fridge. →How much milk is there in the
fridge?
5. 反义疑问句形式
there be句型的反义疑问句的简略问句部分,也要用there be的疑问句形式。
如:There is a cup on the table, isn’t there?
There is some orange in the glass, isn’t there?
There are a lot of letters in the mailbox, aren’t there?
6. there be句型和have / has的区别
there be表示“某处有什么”;have/has表示“某人/物有什么”。
如:There is a car on the road.
I have a car.
My father has a car.
考点精析
考点1 考查there be 句型中be 动词的使用
【例1】单项填空。
( )1.There some_____ juice in my glass.
A.is B.are C.be
( )2.There_____ an egg and four apples on the plate.
A.are B.be C.is
( )3.There_____ some candies in her bag.
A.are B.is C.am
解析:本题考查there be句型中系动词be的用法。第1小题中,虽然juice一词前
有some修饰,但juice是不可数名词,谓语动词be应该是is。第2小题的主语“an egg
and four apples”,虽然是复数,但依据就近一致原则,be动词应使用is,使它和an
egg 保持一致。如果此小题的主语顺序改为“four apples and an egg”,那么be动词
就是应使用are。第3小题中的candies是复数名词,因此be动词要用are。
答案:1.A 2.C 3. A
举一反三
用there be 的适当形式填空。
1. _______ a cat in the tree.
