u there be结构的句子的主语是什么？
u 含有there be结构的句子，一般什么时候用动词is，什么时候用are？
u 如果there be结构的句子的主语由几个并列的名词构成时，动词用is还是are？
Summary
一、There be ...句型表示的是“某处有(存在) 某人或某物”。
1. 肯定句结构：There be (is，are)+名词+地点状语
e.g. 在我的铅笔盒里有两块橡皮。
_____ ___ two erasers in my pencil box.
在房子前有一棵大树。
_____ __ a tall tree in front of the house.

e.g. 这附近有餐馆吗？
____ ______ a restaurant near here?
教室里有学生吗？
____ _____ any students in the classroom?
二、There be 句型中的主谓一致原则
There be句型中be动词的形式要和其后面的主语在人称和数上保持一致。
(1) 如果句子的主语是单数可数名词或是不可数名词, be动词用“is”。
e.g. 紧挨着邮局有一个投币电话。
_____ __ a pay phone next to the post office.
(2) 如果句子的主语是复数名词，be动词用“are”。
e.g. 公园里很多树。
_____ ____ many trees in the park.
(3) 如果有两个或两个以上的名词作主语，be动词要和最靠近它的那个主语在数上保持一致，也就是我们常说的“就近原则”。
e.g. 在桌子上有一个桔子和几根香蕉。
_____ ___ an orange and some bananas on the table.
在桌子上有几根香蕉和一个桔子。
_____ ___ some bananas and an orange on the table.
三、There be结构与have的区别
There be结构表示“客观存在”；have表示“主观所有”。
e.g. 桌子上有一架模型飞机。
_____ __ a model plane on the desk.
我有一架模型飞机。
___ _____ a model plane.
Practice
It’s a beautiful Sunday morning. There 1)_______ lots of people in the park. They are playing happily. A boy is playing a guitar under a tree. He is playing wonderfully. On the square, there 2)_______ many people dancing. 3)_______ there any kids in the park? Yes, there are running and playing here and there. How happy they are! There 4)_____ a lake in the park. There 5)_____ lots of fish in it. But there 6)_______ (not) any people swimming in it.
Where 引导的特殊疑问句
1. Where 是特殊疑问词，用来询问地点，“哪里，某地”
2. 结构：Where +一般疑问句?
3. “where is” 的缩写形式为“where’s”，而 “where are” 没有缩写形式
4. 答语中常包含一个指明地点的介词短语
e.g. --Where is the hotel?
--It’s behind the police station.
--Where’s the bank?
--It’s next to the post office.
方位介词
介词主要用来表时间、地点、目的、原因、程度和方式等，在句中不单独做成分。
表示地点的介词及介词短语有：in, on, under, between…and…, near, in front of, behind, next to, across from 等。

① Where do you live?

③ How do you get there from your home?
写作指导：
1. 首先, 根据实际情况写出自己的家庭住址及周围地点。
2. 然后, 描述自己最喜欢去的地方, 表达喜欢的原因。
3. 介绍街区周边设施及路线可按一定的空间顺序进行，这时可以借助一些方位词表示位置，如 near my home, at the second crossing, on the left, across from，从而使全篇语意连贯。
4. 表示地点的指代词there可指代上文中出现的某一地点。指代词与其照应对象在上下文中紧密相连，从而使文章意义连贯。
Sample
I live in a very nice neighborhood. There is a big park across the street from my home. It is my favorite place in the neighborhood because it is relaxing and quiet. It takes me only five minutes to walk there every morning. I like to exercise there. There is also a big supermarket near the park. The supermarket is between a flower shop and a bookstore. There is a coffee shop next to the bookstore, too.
VII. Self check
1. Self Check 1.
See who will finish the passage with the words in the box at first.
2. Self check 2.
Tell the Students to write five sentences about your school using “there is /are, there are some trees in my school.” Then check and correct them in groups.
3. Self check 3.
Imagine you are one of the two people in the picture on page 46. You have to tell others how to get to the supermarket or library, please write a conversation.
VIII. Language points
1. I like to spend time there on weekends.
spend作动词, 意为“花 (时间、钱等)”, 常用句型为：
sb. + spend(s) +时间 / 钱+ on + sth. 如：
He often spends much money on books.
sb.+ spend(s) +时间 / 钱 (+in) + doing sth. 如：
My sister likes to spend the afternoon (in) washing the clothes.
辨析spend / pay / take
2. To get there, I usually walk out and turn right on Bridge Road.
要去那儿(动物园)的话，我通常步行外出，在大桥路向右拐。
这是英文行文的一种方式，在句子开头用To do…短语，用逗号将其与句子的主体部分隔开，相当于汉语“(若) 要做……的话……”。
e.g. To listen to world news, please key in “1”.
若要收听国际新闻, 请键入“1”。
To get it right, you must think hard.
要想把它做对，你必须得认真思考。
3. The best things in life are free!
生活中最美好的东西是免费的呀！
free adj. 免费的
e.g. 这些书都是免费的。（翻译）
These books are free.
【拓展】free 空闲的;（反义词）busy
e.g. I’m very busy with school from Monday to Friday, but I have some free time on weekends.
Mr. Green isn’t busy this week.
=Mr. Green is free this week.
4. To get to the park, you just have to cross Center Street.
要去公园的话，你只要穿过中心街就到了。
情态动词have to表达的是“需要”的意思，副词just起加强语气的作用，因此，just have to相当于“只需；仅需”。
e.g. Do I just have to finish this piece of homework?
我只需要做完这个作业吗？
You don’t have to do it now.
你不需要现在就做的。
5. It is very quiet and I enjoy reading there.
图书馆很安静，我喜欢在那里看书。
enjoy v. 喜爱; 享受 spend time 花时间
e.g. My grandfather enjoys the quiet park.
I enjoy playing basketball every afternoon.
Do you enjoy yourself at the party?
