Therebe句型:此句型是由“there+be+主语+状语”构成,用以表达存在关系可以称“……有……”。它其实是全倒装的一种情况,主语位于谓语动词be之后,there仅为引导词,并无实际语意。此句型有时不用be动词,而用live,stand,come,go,lie,remain,exist,arrive等,但一般不用have。如:
Therestandsahillinthemiddleofthepark.
Onceuponatimetherelivedanoldkinginthetown.
Be与其后的主语在人称和数量上一致,有时态和情态变化。如:
现在有thereis/are…
过去有therewas/were…
将来有therewillbe…;thereis/aregoingtobe...
现在已经有therehas/havebeen…
可能有theremightbe...
肯定有theremustbe…/theremusthavebeen...
过去曾经有thereusedtobe…
似乎有thereseems/seem/seemedtobe…
碰巧有therehappen/happens/happenedtobe…
