Few 和little意为“几乎一点没有”,具有否定意义。
例如:He has a few friends here.
Hurry up! There is little time left.
There be句型:
是一常见的表示“存在”的句型。该结构不表示“存在”意义的现象又广见于书面语及口语,它以否定句的形式出现,用于对某一具体行为和抽象概念的否定。
There在此结构中是引导词,已经没有副词“那里”的含义。
There be 后面的名词是句子的主语,属倒装结构;
1.There be 句型的否定句有两种构成方式,一种是将否定副词not放在be 之后,如:
There isn’t a box in the room.房间里没有盒子。
There aren’t any pens on the desk.课桌上没有钢笔。
There hasn’t been any rain for a week.一周没下雨了。
There won’t be a meeting today.今天没有会议。
另一种是在主语前加上不定代词no , 如:
There is no water in the bottle.瓶子里没有水。
There are no pictures on the wall.墙上没有图画。
There will be no one at home tomorrow morning.明天上午不会有人在家。
There might be no money left。或许没有剩下什么钱。
2.There be 句型的一般疑问句是将be 放在there 之前,回答时用yes或no,后接简单答语。如:
Is there a cake on the table?桌子上有块蛋糕吗?
Yes,there is. / No,there isn’t.是,有。/ 不,没有。
Will there be a party tonight?今晚有聚会吗?
Yes,there will./ No, there won’t是的,有。/ 不,没有。
Have there been any letters from your mother lately?近日你妈妈有信来吗?
Yes,there have./ No, there haven’t.是,有的。/ 不,没有。
3.There be 句型的特殊疑问句主要有how many和how much做引导词两种情况:
How many students are there in your school?你们学校有多少学生?
How much money is there in your pocket?你口袋里有多少钱?
4.There be 句型的反意疑问句
There is a cup on the table, isn’t there?桌子上有只杯子,是吗?
There is some orange in the glass, isn’t there?杯子里有桔汁,是吗?
There are a lot of letters in the mailbox, aren’t there?邮筒里有很多信件,是吗?
There will be a new hospital nearby, won’t there?附近要建一家新医院,是吗?
和have的比较:
1.区别点:there be 意为存在,强调某地有某物,不表示所属关系;have 表示所有关系, 强调某人或某地有某物,这是其基本用法。如:
There are some trees in front of the house.房前有些树。
Tom has many friends in China.汤姆在中国有许多朋友。
2.相同点:在表示结构上的含有时,既可以用there be 句型,也可以用have(has) 来表示。如:
There are many long rivers in China./China has many long rivers.中国有许多长河。
How many days are there in March?/How many days has March?三月份有多少天?
注意:
There与be中间可插入一些表推测的情态动词、表时态的短语和一些动词短语
(如和将来时be going to will、现在完成时 havehas + pp. 、used to结构等连用,注意其构成形式)。
例如:
There must be a pen in the box.
There happened to be some money in my pocket.
There is going to be a meeting tonight.
There has been a big tree on the top of the hill.
There used to be a church across from the bank.
There be + 主语 + doing +介词短语. 例如:
There is a truck collecting rubish outside.
There is a wallet lying on the ground
