1. Do you think there will be robots in people’s homes?
你认为人们家里将会有机器人吗？
1) 含有宾语从句的主从复合句
本句是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句，do you think 是主句，there will be…是宾语从句。如果do you think 放在句中，则为插入语，常放在疑问词之后，结构为：疑问词+ do you think + (主语+)谓语+其他成分？
e.g. Do you think it’s necessary to discuss our plan?
Which do you think is the best restaurant?
2) there will be… 将有……；会有……
是there be结构(存现句)的一般将来时，可以与“There is / are going to be …”进行句式转换。
e.g. There will be a film this afternoon.
=There is going to be a film this afternoon.
there be结构(存现句)中的主谓一致遵循“就近”原则，即be动词和最靠近它的名词在数上保持一致。
e.g. There is an umbrella and two magazines on the table.
There are two magazines and an umbrella on the table.
