There be 句型:
1. There is / are ... 某人/某物+ 某地. 意为‘某地有某物’。 be后面紧跟的名词若是单数或是不可数名词，be用is形式；若是复数形式，be用are形式。
E.g.: There is a supermarket on Green Street.
There is lots of water in this lake. (lots of = a lot of )
There are many books in the school library.

2.当there be 后面有两个以上的名词时，be的形式由离它最近的那个名词的数的形式决定，即符合就近原则。
E.g.: There are two pens and a pencil in the pencil-case.
There is a pen and two pens in the pencil-case.

3. There be 句型的否定形式为：There is not…/There are not…; 一般疑问句的形式是：Is /Are there... ？意为”某地有某物吗“?
E.g.: There are not seven books on the bookcase.
Is there any ink in the bottle?

There be 句型结构：
There be ＋主语＋介词短语
There be 代表“有”, be指be动词is ,
are。由主语决定be动词。如果主语为c.n. 的单数或u.n，be动词用is, 如果主
语为c.n.的复数，be动词用are。
There be 与have/has 的区别：
There be句型表“存在”，而have/has则表“拥有”。如：
There are some tomatoes on my table.
I have some tomatoes on my table.
(上两句为同义句）
Excuse me. Where’s the…?
Is there a… near here/in the neighborhood?
