there be a common test point for sentence patterns
test point 1: Various sentence patterns are converted
1. becomes negative
The composition of the negative form of the be sentence pattern is the same as other sentence patterns containing be verbs, just add not or no after be. Note the difference between not and no: not is an adverb, no is an adjective, not a/an/any + n. is equivalent to no+ n. For example:
There are some pictures on the wall. →There aren't any pictures on the wall. =There are no pictures on the wall.
There is a bike behind the tree. → There isn't a bike behind the tree. =There is no bike behind the tree.
2. becomes general question sentence
There general question sentence change in be sentence pattern is to adjust the be verb to the beginning and then add a question mark at the end of the sentence. But at the same time, you should note: when there is some in the affirmative sentence, change it to any (the same is true for negative changes).
There is some water on Mars. → Is there any water on Mars?
There are some fish in the water. → Are there any fish in the water?
3. Special question
Ask the subject: When the subject is a human, use who to guide, and when the subject is an object, use what to guide. Note: No matter whether the subject of the original sentence is singular or plural, when asking questions, they are generally used in the singular form of be (it should be decided according to the actual situation when answering). For example:
There are many things over there. →What's over there?
There is a little girl in the room. → Who is in the room?
Ask the adverbial question to the location: , use where to guide. For example:
There is a computer on the desk. → Where is the computer?
There are four children on the playground. → Where are the four children?
Ask a question for quantity: generally has two sentence structures:
How many+plural noun+are there+Precipe phrase ?
How much+uncountable noun+is there+preposition phrase?
Test point 2: there be tense
be of the sentence pattern can have the present time (there is/are), the past time (there was/were), the future time (there is/are going to be or there will be) and the completion time (there have/has been); there must be , there can’t be, there can’t be, there used to be, etc.
Test point 3: there be the composition of the antonym of the sentence pattern : be (not) there?
Test point 4: there be the subject-predicate consistency of the sentence pattern:
There be The be verb in the structure should be consistent with the noun followed, and follow the principle of proximity .
Test point 5: there be other verbs used in the sentence pattern:
there be Sometimes the verb be used in the sentence pattern, but come, live , stand , lie, seem to be , happen to be , etc. For example:
There ____ a knife and a fork on the table. (2007 Huanggang)
A. seems to be B. seems to be C. is seeming to be D. are
Analysis: According to the principle of proximity, B and D are first excluded, and there be sentence pattern sometimes does not use the verb be, but comes, live, stand, lie, seem to be, etc., so the answer should be selected from A and C. sensory verb is not usually required to be performed, so C is also not correct.
Notes: there be the difference between sentence patterns and have sentence patterns
(1) There be sentence patterns and have both mean "have". The difference is as follows: There be means "are something or someone there"; have means "are someone owning something/someone", which means all, owning relationships. For example:
He has two sons. He has two sons.
There are two men in the office. There are two men in the office.
(2) When have represents the meaning of "including" and "existence", there be sentence patterns are interchangeable with them. For example:
A week has seven days. =There are seven days in a week.
