"there is "和"there are"的肯定式

我们先从"there is "和"there are"的肯定式开始。

为了表达在一个地方有某个东西，一般情况，我们使用"there is "单数名词。

Examples：

There is a dog in the garden.

为了发音听起来更加自然，要记得使用缩写形式，所以你可以说：

There's a dog in the garden.

而我们使用"there are"加复数名词。

There are some dogs in the garden.

我们来看看"there is "和"there are"肯定式的更多例子。

There's an old man at the door.

There's some money on the table.

There's some sugar in the cupboard.

现在，举几个"there are"的例子：

There are three old man at the door.

There are some cigarettes on the table.

There are some biscuits in the cupboard.（柜子里面有饼干）

"there is "和"there are"的否定式

现在，我们来看看"there is "和"there are"的否定式。

为了表达没有什么东西，一般我们使用"there is not"加单数名词。

Examples:

There is not any sugar in this coffee.

缩写方式为：

There isn't any sugar in this coffee.

我们使用"there are not"加复数名词。例如：

There are not any trains on Sunday.

缩写方式为：

There aren't any trains on Sunday.

要注意我们在否定句中使用了单词"any"。

我们来看看"there is"和'there are'否定式的更多例子：

下面有几个单数形式的例子：

There isn't any work at the office.

There isn't any snow on the mountains.

There isn't any salt on the potatoes.（土豆里没有盐）

There isn't any gin in this tonic.（这杯通宁水里面没有杜松子酒）

现在，举几个复数形式例子：

There aren't any tomatoes in the shop.

There aren't any good films on TV.

There aren't any people in the bar.

There aren't any animals in our house.

There aren't any trees in this park.

但是"there is "和"there are"的否定式还有另一种方法来表达。

我们可以使用"there is no"和"there are no"来代替"there isn't any"和"there aren't any"。

我们先来看看"there is no"单数形式的一些例子：

There is no works at the office.

There is no snow in the mountains.

There is no salt on the potatoes.

There is no gin in this tonic.（这杯通宁水里面没有松子酒）

使用"there are no"复数形式的例子：

There are no good films on TV.

There are no people in the bar.

There are no animals in our house.

There are no trees in this park.

那么问句呢？

"there is"和"there are"的疑问式

现在，我们来看"there is"和"there are"的疑问式。

在问句中，动词放在句首。我们只把单词换位。

"There is "变成"Is there？"，还有"There are "变成 "Are there?"。

当我们想表达数量的时候，也可以使用单词"any"。例如：

Is there any beer in the fridge?

我再给你举一些"there is"和"there are"的疑问式例子：

Is there a place for me?

Are there any buses to the airport?

Are there any films on TV?

Is there any ice in the fridge?

Is there a problem with the computer?

Are there any aspirins in your bag?（你包里有阿司匹林吗）

"there is "和"there are"的回答短句

现在我们来看"there is "和"there are"的回答短句。

要记住英语中，我们不单独说"yes"或"no"。

注意看这些使用"there is"和"there are"的否定式和肯定式的回答短句例子。

Is there a bus to the airport?

Is there any sugar in this tea?

反意疑问句中的"there is"、"there are"的用法

最后，我们来看看反意疑问句和"there is"还有"there are"的用法。

我们可以在句末使用反意疑问句来要求确认。看这些例子：

There is a good film on TV tonight，isn't there?

There isn't much to do here，is there?

There are a lot of people here today，aren't there?
