"我有一本书"是 I have a book,"桌上有一本书"是 There is a book on the desk。这两个"有",千万别混。
there be:某地存在某物
表示"某个地方有什么",结构:
- There is + 单数/不可数 + 地点
- There are + 复数 + 地点
- There is a cat under the table. 桌下有只猫。
- There are five students in the classroom. 教室里有五个学生。
have:某人拥有
主语是人/动物,"拥有":
- I have a cat. 我有一只猫。
- She has long hair. 她留长发。
就近原则
there be 中 be 动词跟着紧挨着它的名词走:
- There is a pen and two books.
- There are two books and a pen.
否定和疑问
- 否定:There isn't / There aren't
- 疑问:Is there...? / Are there...?
- 回答:Yes, there is. / No, there aren't.
时态变化
be 动词随时态换:
- There was a shop here.(过去)
- There will be a meeting tomorrow.(将来)
一句口诀:there be 表存在,have 表拥有;is are 看就近,别按总数数。
