想说"某个地方有什么",就请出 there be 句型——描述房间、公园、图片全靠它。
基本结构
There is + 单数名词/不可数名词 + 地点:There is a bed in the room.(房间里有一张床。)
There are + 复数名词 + 地点:There are two lakes in the park.(公园里有两个湖。)
就近原则(重点!)
be 动词跟离它最近的名词保持一致:
There is a pen and two books on the desk.(离得近的 a pen 是单数,用 is)
There are two books and a pen on the desk.(离得近的 two books 是复数,用 are)
否定与疑问
否定:There isn't a cat in the box.(盒子里没有猫。)/ There aren't any birds in the tree.(树上没有鸟。)
疑问:Is there a park near your home?(你家附近有公园吗?)— Yes, there is. / No, there isn't.
小提示
there be 表示"存在",和 have/has(拥有)是两回事,不能混在一句里:
There have a cat ✗ → There is a cat ✓
My room has a bed. = There is a bed in my room.(我的房间里有一张床。)
