there be句型的用法和规则(be句型的最全用法)(1)

在英语中there是一个地点副词,和be动词(there is,there are)连用是一般用来表示某个人或物的存在,或者事情的发生。这期内容,我们将以一个特别的视角讨论there的用法。there is和there are通常用于一般现在时,而其对应的一般过去时则为there was和there were.除此之外,there还可以用于一般将来时和现在完成时。

1. there be用于一般现在时

There be句型

这里的be是指is和are。there is用于可数名词的单数和不可数名词,there are用于可数名词的复数。

There is a book in my backpack.

我的背包里有一本书。

There is some water in the bottle.

瓶子里有些水。

There are many boys in the park.

公园里有很多男孩。

但是要注意,there be句型遵循就近一致原则,通俗的说就是,这里的be是用is还是are,主要取决于其后的第一个名词的单复数。如果该名词是单数,那就用is,哪怕后面还会有其他名词。如果该名词是复数,那就用are。请看例句:

There is an apple, three bananas and a piece of bread on the table.

桌子上有一个苹果、三根香蕉和一块面包。

上面这个例句中,there be后面第一个名词是an apple,为单数名词,因此这里的be就用is,不受后面three bananas and a piece of bread的影响。但如果把there be后面第一个名词换成three bananas,这里的be就应该用are,如下句:

There are three bananas, an apple and a piece of bread on the table.

桌子上有三根香蕉、一个苹果和一块面包。
