基本句型六：There be结构

句型“There + be + 主语 +定语/状语/同位语”, 用以表达在某处或某时“存在”某人某物。其中, there 仅为引导词, 并无实际意义; be 与其后的主语在人称和数上保持一致, 有时态和情态变化。如：

There will be a meeting tomorrow. 明天有场会议。

There used to be a well in the village. 村里过去有一口井。

【注意】

此句型有时不用be动词, 而用 live, stand, come, go, lie, remain, exist, arrive等不及物动词。如：

There stands the Statue of Liberty at New York Harbour. 自由女神像矗立在纽约港口。 ▲There be句型的扩展：
