做 There be 句型习题的关键是找到句中的真正主语，若是复数名词，谓语用复数，其他则用单数。 一、用 there be 的正确形式完成下面的句子 1. ____ any water? 答案：Is there 有水吗？ 解析：water 是不可数名词，所以用 is there. 2. ____ (not) any sugar in the coffee. 答案：There is not / There's not / There isn't 咖啡里没有糖。 解析：sugar 是不可数名词，所以用 There is not / There's not / There isn't，后两者都是 There is not 的缩略形式。 3. ____ (not) any tomatoes in the salad. 答案：There are not / There aren't 沙拉里没有西红柿。 解析：tomatoe 是可数名词，所以用复数的 There are not / There aren't，后者是 前者的缩略形式。 4. ____ some wine in the glass. 答案：There is / There's 杯子里有些酒。 解析：wine 译为“酒”时，指的是食物，属于不可数名词，所以用 There is / There's，后者是前者的缩略形式。 5. ____ any money in your wallet? 答案：Is there 你钱包里有钱吗？ 解析：money 是不可数名词，所以用 Is there. 6. ____ a problem with this phone. 答案：There is / There's 这部手机有问题。 解析：从 a problem 可以看出用 There is / There's. 7. ____ any vegetables in this recipe? 答案：Are there 这个食谱里有蔬菜吗？ 解析：从 vegetables 可以看出用 Are there. 二、用 there is 或 there are 完成下面的句子 1. ____ many fish in this lake. 答案：There are 这个湖里有很多鱼。 解析：many 只修饰可数名词，所以用 There are；fish 的单复数同形。 2. ____ no comments yet. 答案：There are 目前还没有评论。 解析：从 comments 可以看出用 There are. 3. ____ nothing else that I care about. 答案：There is 我什么都不在乎。 解析：nothing 是指代单数的不定代词，所以用 There is. 4. ____ still a lot of dishes on the table. 答案：There are 桌子上还有很多菜。 解析：从 dishes 可以看出用 There are；a lot of 既可以修饰可数名词，也可以修饰不可数名词。 5. ____ an exception to every rule. 答案：There is 每一条规则都有例外。 解析：从 an exception 单数可数名词可以看出用 There is. 6. ____ some books on the desk. 答案：There are 桌子上有一些书。 解析：从 books 可以看出用 There are. 7. ____ a lot of parks in London. 答案：There are 伦敦有很多公园。 解析：从 parks 复数可数名词可以看出用 There are. 8. ____ no place like home. 答案：There is 没有比家更好的地方了。 解析：place 是可数名词，no 这里相当于 not a，所以用 There is. 9. ____ only five weeks until my birthday. 答案：There are 离我生日只有五个星期了。 解析：从 weeks 可以看出用 There are. 10. ____ always a next time. 答案：There is 总有下一次。 解析：从 a next time 可以看出用 There is，这里的 time 译为“次，回”，属于可数名词。
