【超链接】there be结构通常由表示泛指的名词或不定代词作主语,不用表示特指的名词或专有名词作主语。那怎么确定这类名词呢?一般来说,名词前面有the或物主代词、名词所有格及指示代词修饰时,为特指名词,无这类词修饰时,为泛指名词;人名及地名等都是专有名词,不能用在there be之后。如:
Mary and Alice are in the car. 玛丽和爱丽斯在小车里。
Her book is on the desk. 她的书在桌子上。

【考点4】there be句型的非谓语形式;
【超链接】“ there be” 结构的非限定形式there to be, there being, 它们可作主语,宾语或状语
1. 作主语

例There being a bus stop near the house is a great advantage.
It is impossible for there to be any more.
2. 作宾语
(1) 作动词宾语时,通常用“there to be” 结构 。能这样用的及物动词为数有限,常见的有 expect, like, mean, intend ,want , prefer, hate等。
例We expect there to be no argument.
Would you like there to be a picture on the wall?
(2) 作介词宾语时,如果介词是for,便只能用“there to be”结构,否则多用“there being”结构。
例The teacher was waiting for there to be complete silence.

3. 作状语
用作状语的there be非谓语形式,通常用there being结构。
