be動詞單複數的確定,看be後邊第一個名詞,當所接主語為單數或不可數名詞時,be動詞形式為is;當所接主語為複數名詞時,be動詞為are;當be動詞後接兩個以上主語時,be動詞與最臨近主語保持數上的一致。意思為"某地有某人或某物"。如:
There is an eraser and two pens on the desk.桌子上有一塊橡皮和兩支鋼筆。
There are two pens and an eraser on the desk.桌上有兩支鋼筆和一塊橡皮。

(2)therebe句型的疑問句就是將be提到句首:Bethere+(any)+名詞+地點狀語

(3)特殊疑問句:How many...are there(+地點狀語)
