there+be结构
当there+be后跟单数名词或不可数名词时,动词be的一般现在时形式为is;当后面跟复数名词时,动词用are。如果后跟几个并列名词,而第一个名词是单数,动词仍用is。there+be后面的名词是句子的主语。如:
There is a hammer on the bookcase.
书箱上有个鎯头。(单数名词)
There is some tea in the cup.
杯子里有些茶水。(不可数名词)
There are three bottles of milk on the table.
桌子上有3瓶牛奶。(不可数名词,用复数量词修饰)
There is a pen, two books and a knife on the desk.
课桌上有一枝钢笔、两本书和一把小刀。(第一个并列名词是单数)
