同学们,基本的句型结构,语法要点还是要熟练掌握的,毕竟谁都不想学了十几年外语,只达到在交流时只能断断续续用上几个单词吧?
你要是个工厂工人,肯定没有人苛求你说一口流利的外语。但要是大学毕业生,不管你承认不承认,外语能力应该是一项基本的素质,在某些场合你看你直接代表了中国年轻人的形象。
There be句型是英语里最为常见的一种句型,一般情况下我们掌握起来没有困难,无非是要注意:
1,主谓一致(就近原则):

有生命,就有希望。
(留得青山在不愁没柴烧。)

那么,在用there be 句型的时候,还有什么是我们要注意的?
最可能出现的错误是在there be句型中的名词后用了谓语动词,这是我们一些大学生在写英文作文是也常犯的错误:
There are always people complainthey face too many problems.
There are some students are readingbooks in the library.
我们一般把there be 后面的名词看作句子的主语。
There be +名词是个完整的句子,后面不能再跟谓语动词!
正确的表达是名词后用定语(非谓语动词,定语从句等)
There are always people that are misbehaving.
Amy Klobuchar
总有人行为不端。
艾米·克劳布查
