Step 9 重点句子
1．There be句型
(1)用法：意思是“某地存在某物/某人”，即强调某人或某物与某地的位置关系。
(2)结构：There be＋主语＋介词短语。
注意：①There be有There is/There are两种形式。be的单复数由最近一个主语来决定。当最近一个主语为单数或不可数名词时，用There is；当最近一个主语为复数时，用There are。如：
There is a desk and two chairs in the room.
房间里有一张桌子和两把椅子。(最近一个主语是a desk)
There are two chairs and a desk in the room.
房间里有两把椅子和一张桌子。(最近一个主语是two chairs)
②介词短语表示方位、处所时，也可以置于句首。这样的介词有：on，in，under，between(...and...)，next to，behind，in front of。如：
Under the tree there are some girls.
树下有一些女孩子。
(3)句型
①一般疑问句是把be动词提前。如：
—Is there an egg on the desk?
——桌子上有一个鸡蛋吗？
—Yes，there is./No，there isn't.
——是的，有。/不，没有。
—Are there any birds in the tree?
——树上有一些鸟吗？
—Yes，there are./No，there aren't.
——是的，有。/不，没有。
②There be句型的否定句是直接在be动词后加not。如：
There aren't any book on the desk.
桌上没有书。
③对There be句型中的方位介词短语提问时，常用where。如：
There is a supermarket on Green Street.
格林街上有一家超市。
→Where is a supermarket？(去掉there)
超市在哪儿？
④对There be句型中的主语提问时，常省略there。如：
There is a desk in the teacher's room.
教师的办公室里有一张桌子。
→What's in the teacher's room?
教师的办公室里有什么？
There are two pens in the pencil case.
铅笔盒里有两支钢笔。
→What's in the pencil case？(注意常用单数)
铅笔盒里有什么？
(4)There be句型与have的区别：前者强调的是一种位置关系；后者强调的是一种所属关系。如：
There is a pen on my desk.
我的桌子上有一支钢笔。(钢笔在我桌子上，但不一定是我的。)
I have a pen.
我有一支钢笔。(不管钢笔在哪儿，都是属于我的。)
2．The pay phone is across from the library.公用电话亭在图书馆对面。
across表示“从某物的一边到另一边；横过……”。如：
Our school is across the street.
我们学校在街的那一边。
across from还可意为“在……的对面”。如：
The hospital is across from the supermarket.
医院在超市的对面。
across from＝on the other side of，如：
The house is across from the street.
＝The house is on the other side of the street.
这所房子在街道的另一边。
3．The pay phone is next to the library.
公用电话亭在图书馆旁边。
next to意为“紧挨；邻近”。如：
He sits next to me.
他紧挨着我坐。
4．The pay phone is between the post office and the library.公用电话亭在邮局和图书馆中间。
between...and...“在……与……之间”，用于两者之间，注意用宾格。如：

他在我和汤姆之间。
5．The pay phone is in front of the library.
公用电话亭在图书馆前面。
in front of在……前面(物体外部)。如：
There is a tree in front of our classroom.
我们教室前有一棵树。(树在教室外)
in the front of在……前面(物体内部)。如：
There is a desk in the front of our classroom.
在我们教室的前面有一张桌子。(教室内部)
6．The pay phone is behind the library.
