There be句型的用法以及练习题

There be句型的用法以及练习题

There be句型是英语中常见的特殊句型，用以表示某物某事存在或不存在。句中的there只起引导作用，并无实际意义，句子的真正主语是谓语动词be后面的名词。There be句型有多种表现形式，可以用来表达多种复杂的含义。

1．There be与情态动词连用

There be句型中的谓语动词be可与各种情态动词连用，表示"一定有"、"可能有"、"应该有"等含义。例如：

He felt that there must be something wrong．他感到一定是出了错儿。

There might be drinks if you wait a bit．如果你等一会儿，可能会有酒。

There can’t have been much traffic so late at night．这么晚了，街上的车辆不会太多。

There oughtn’t to be too great discrepancy in our views．我们的看法不应该有太大的分歧。

2．There be与含有情态意义的动词或短语连用

英语中有些动词或短语具有一定的情态含义，我们称之为半助动词。There be句型中的谓语动词be可与这些半助动词连用，表达更为复杂的意念。能用于There be句型中的这类词语主要有：happen to（碰巧），appear ／seem to（似乎），be going to（将会），used to（曾经），have to（必须），be likely to（很可能），bebound to（必定）等。例如：

There happened to be an old friend of mine in the club．在那个俱乐部碰巧有我的一个老朋友。

There appear to be several reasons for changing our plans．看来改变我们的计划有几个理由。

There used to be a cinema here before the war．战前这里曾有一个电影院。

Is there going to be a dancing party tonight？今晚有舞会吗？

There are bound to be obstacles for us to get over．一定会有障碍需要我们去克服。

3．There be的非限定形式及用法

There be结构也可以以不定式（there to be）、动名词（there being）和现在分词（there being）的形式出现在句子中，作主语、宾语或状语。这种非限定形式中的there在形式上起着逻辑主语的作用，因此，不定式there to be前有时需加介词for，从形式上满足引出不定式逻辑主语的需要，而分词there being则具有独立主格结构的意味。例如：

I don’t want there to be any more trouble．我不希望再有麻烦了。（不定式作宾语）

I expect there to be no argument about this．我希望对此没有什么争论。（不定式作宾语）

It was unusual for there to be so few people in the street．大街上人这么少，这不大正常。（不定式作主语）

What’s the chance of there being an election this year？今年举行大选的可能性有多大？（动名词作介词宾语）

There being a bus stop so near the house is a great advantage．离屋子这么近有一个汽车站，这太便利了。（动名词作主语）

There being nothing else to do，we went home．没有别的事可做，我们就回家了。（分词作状语）

4．由there be构成的固定句型

由there be构成的一些固定句型在英语中很活跃，需很好地掌握。常见的有：

There is no point in ＋v-ing：没道理，没用，没必要

There is no use（in）＋v-ing：毫无用处

There is no sense in ＋v-ing：毫无道理

There is no need to ＋v：没有必要

There is no ＋v-ing：不可能，无法。

例如：

There is no use in hiding that fact from him ．对他隐瞒那个事实没什么用。

There is no point in arguing further．再争下去也没用。

Is there any point in going on？有必要再继续下去吗？

There was no need for him to remain in Shanghai．他没有必要再留在上海。

There was no sense in making a child suffer like that．让一个孩子受那样的苦是毫无道理的。

There was no mistaking his intentions this time．这回不可能看错他的意图。

Once let this fellow start talking，there was no stopping him．一旦让这个家伙谈起来，就无法让他停下来了。

5．there与其它动词连用

除动词be外，其它一些动词也可以与there连用。这些动词有两类：一类是表示存在概念的状态动词，如：exist，remain，live，lie，stand等；一类是表示某事发生或某人到达等概念的不及物动词，如：come，enter，arise，occur，follow，appear等。例如：

There lies a river behind the house．屋后有一条河。

Then there came a knock at the door．然后听到敲门声。

At a later stage there arose new problem swhich seemed insoluble．在后期出现了似乎无法解决的新问题。

There be句型的小结与练习

　河北阜城中学（053700） 郑红杰

There be表示 “存在有”,即当我们告诉某人某事存在(或不存在)常用这种结构。其中there是引导词,本身无词义;be为谓语动词,后面跟的是名词,也就是主语,也就是说there be结构的运用也就是倒桩的具体运用。其真正的主语在there be 之后。在新课标中对此的考试要求是：掌握There be句式的结构特征和基本用法。在我们的课本中也出现了大量的There be句式如：

There are a few simple safe measures to follow while training.(Book3,P51)

There are also records of gymnastics being performed in China and some other Asian countries.(Book3, P50)

In China, there is only 7% of the land used for growing crops, which feeds more than one fourth of the world population.(Book3, P20)

If the population keeps growing so quickly, there will be only standing room left for us next century.(Book2A, P49)

There were lots of good English language programs broadcast on TV or on the radio in China.(Book1A, P46)

There be结构是如此重要，我们高中生必须对此从以下方面进行了解。

一、 注意事项：

1 there be 结构中的be 是可以运用各种时态的。

　There is going to be a meeting tonight.今晚有个会议。

There was a knock at the door.有人敲门。

There has been a girl waiting for you.有个女孩一直在等你。

There will be rain soon.不久天就要下雨了。

2动词be单复数形式要跟there be之后的真正的主语一致。并且要根据就近一致原则来变换be 的单复数形式。

如：

There is a book on the desk.课桌上有一本书。

How many people are there in the city?这个城市里有多少人口。

There is a pen and two books on the desk.课桌上有一个钢笔和两本书。

There are two books and a pen on the desk. 课桌上有两本书和一个钢笔。

There are some students and a teacher in the classroom. 在教室里有一些学生和一位老师。

There is a teacher and some students in the classroom. 在教室里有一位老师和一些学生。

3 在there be引起的句子结构中，用来修饰主语的不定式主动形式和被动形式均可。

　There is no time to lose (= to be lost).时间紧迫。

There is nothing to see (=to be seen).看不见有什么。

There is nothing to do.(=to be done) 无事可做。

二、 结构变形：

在there be 结构中还可把be 改变从而使得there be结构有了一些改变具体总结如下：

1 There used/seem/ happen/appear to be 如：

There might be snow at night.晚上可能有雪。

There appeared to be nobody willing to help.看来没人愿意帮忙。

There used to be a building here.过去这儿有一座楼房。

There happened to be a man walking by.碰巧有个人在此经过。

There doesn't seem to be much hope.好象没有太大的希望。

2 在there be的 be 前还可以加上各种情态词，如：

There must be something wrong.一定有问题。

There ought not to be so many people.不应该有这么多的人。

There might still be hope .可能还有点希望。

3 在there be句型中的be还可以换成其他的动词与there连用，这些词都是表示状态的如：live stand exist remain等或用来描写某事的发生或某人的到达如come, appear, enter, follow, occur等。

There lived a rich man.这以前住着一个富翁。

Then there came a knock at the door.然后有人敲门。

Long, long ago, there lived a king.很久很久以前，有一个国王。

There followed a terrible noise.然后是传来了可怕的声音。

Suddenly there entered a strange man.突然进来了一个奇怪的人。

三、 特殊的表达方式：

１There is no sense in doing 做某事是没有用的，没有意义的

There is no sense in making him angry.跟他生气是没有用的。

There in no sense in going alone.

一个人去是没有好处的。

4 There is no use /good doing 做某事是没有用的，没有必要的

There is no use trying to explain it.解释是没有必要的。

There is no good/use going there.

去那儿是没有好处的。

5 There is no need to do 没有必要做某事

There is no need to worry.

没有必要担心。

根本没有必要给他那么多的钱。

6 There is thought/said/reported to be 人们认为有/据说有/据报道有

7 There is no doing（口语）不可能…….

四、 there be句式的非限定形式。

There be 的非限定形式有两种，即there to be 和there being。需要掌握以下几个情况：

1作主语

当作主语时，一般是There being结构，当句式中有for时，一般用there to be如：

There being a shop here is a great advantage.

这儿有个商店，真是方便极了。

There being a house with a garden is of great value.

拥有花园的房子是很有价值的。

It is impossible for there to be any more.

不可能再有了。

2 作宾语

作动词宾语时，一般用there to be 结构。常见动词有：expect, mean, intend want, prefer等：

We expect there to be no argument.我们希望不会出现争吵。

People don't want there to be anther war.人们不希望再有战争。

作介词的宾语一般用There being句式，但当是for时一般用there to be句式。

This depended on there being a sudden change. 这需要有一个突然的改变。

The teacher was waiting for there to be complete silence.老师在等着大家都安静下来。

3 作状语

用作状语的there be的形式通常用therebeing结构。

There being no buses, we had to walk home.

由于没有公共汽车，我们不得不走着回家。

There being no nobody in the room, we realized that there was no use crying.

屋里没人，我们意识到哭喊是没有用的。

There being nothing else to do, we went home happily.

由于没事可做，我们快乐地回家了。

注意：如果句中出现for时应用there to be。

It was too late for there to be any buses.

太晚了，没有公共汽车了。
