There is和There are的烦恼

同学们,你们都认识There is和There are哥俩儿吧?最近他们可是烦恼多多。为什么呢?原来,他们都可以表示“在某地有某人或某物”,又都喜欢站在句首,因此总有一些同学把他们给搞错了。今天啊,他们想要告诉大家:他俩确实都来自There be家族,但个性却不尽相同。到底有什么区别呢?请听听他们的自我介绍吧。
There is
我平时喜欢和单数名词及不可数名词交朋友。瞧:
There is a big box on the table.
There is some milk in the glass.
There are
我只愿意與复数名词为伴。看:
There are lots of books in the library.
如果要变成一般疑问句,只要把咱们的be动词(is或are)请到最前面就可以了。如:
-Is there a music room in your school?
-Yes,there is.
-Are there any pictues on the wall?
-No,there arent.
当表示“在某地没有某人或某物”时,咱们的朋友not就会主动来帮忙。谦虚的not总是挨在俺哥俩儿的后面。瞧:
There is not (isnt) a football on the playground.
There are not (arent) any chairs in the classroom.
友情提示
我们There be家族里一般实行的是“就近原则”,即:使用There is还是There are,由离他最近的那个名词来决定。如:
There is a pen and two books on the desk.
There are two books and a pen on the desk.
同学们,现在明白了吧?下回再见到俺哥俩儿时,可别再认错喽!
