2)there be是英语中非常重要的一个句型: there是引导词,不解释 那里 这是个倒装句, 主语在be动词的后面, be动词的单复数由后面的主语决定。
注意中国学生容易搞错的问题:
There isnt enough furniture in the room.
错:There hasnt enough furniture in the room.
There is no doubt that smallpox has been wiped out in China.
错:It is no doubt that smallpox has been wiped out in China.
There is ample evidence that AIDS is spreading quickly in Asia.
错:It is evidence that AIDS is spreading quickly in Asia.
第二句型:主语 + 不及物动词
在这个句型中主要注意及物动词与不及物动词的区分:
不及物动词 及物动词
rise /rose / risen raise /raised / raised
arise / arose / arisen arouse / aroused / aroused
lie / lay / lain lay / laid / laid
arrive at reach
wait for await
remain maintain
上面所注仅为典型词义,要根据句子判别其他意思。
此外,该句型常采用倒装形式,注意辨别,主要是以下两种情况:
1) 用here 或 there引导:Here comes the bus. / There rings the bell.
2) 在动词 + 介词短语的结构中,往往将介词短语提前:On the top of the hill stands a pretty little house.
