(一）语法 there be 句型的用法
1.there be 句型表示“某地有某物”, 其结构为：
“There be + 某物/ 人 + 某地、某时”, 否定句
是在be 之后加not, 疑问句是把be提到句首。
其中be动词的单复数形式与最靠近的主语在
数上保持一致。即就近原则。其回答为:
Yes, there is/are. 或No, there isn't/aren't.
There be 相关句型：
There are two pears on the table.
否定句
一般疑问句
肯否回答
对划线部分提问
There aren't two pears on the table.
Are there two pears on the table?
Yes, there are. No, there aren't.

1.How many pears are there on the table?
2.What's on the table?
3.Where are two pears?
there be 和have都可译为汉语里的“有”，但有区别：
含义不同。
there be 结构表示的是“某地有某物/人”, 强调“存在关系”;
have表示“某人/ 物所有”, 强调“所属关系”。
如: There is a bus in our factory. (公共汽车不一定是属于我们工
厂所有的)
Our factory has a bus. (公共汽车是属于我们工厂所有的)
2) 句型不同。
there be 结构的句型为“Therebe + 某物/ 人 + 某地”,
否定句是把not放在be 之后, 疑问句是把be提到句首。
have句型为“某人/ 物 + have/ has +某物/人”, 否定句通常是在
have前加don't (或doesn't have)，疑问句是在句首加do(第三人称
单数加does)。
There isn't a cat under the chair.
椅子下面没有一只猫。
She doesn't have two brothers.
她没有两个弟弟。
3) 当表示某物的构成和组成部分时, 用there be 和have均可。
例如：
Our school has twenty classes.
= There are twenty classes in our school.
1.There are some CDs on the desk.
(改否定句,并对划线部分提问)
2. There is a teacher in the classroom.
(改一般疑问句，并否定回答及划线提问)
