4．特殊疑問(wèn)句：
“There be句型”的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式有以下三種變化：
（1）.對(duì)主語(yǔ)提問(wèn)：當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是人時(shí)，用“Who+be+介詞短語(yǔ)？”；當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是物時(shí)，用“What+be+介詞短語(yǔ)？”。注意：無(wú)論原句的主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)，對(duì)其提問(wèn)時(shí)一般都用be的單數(shù)形式（回答時(shí)卻要根據(jù)實(shí)際情況來(lái)確定）。如： There are many things over there. What’s over there? There was a little girl in the room Who was in the room?
（2）.對(duì)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)提問(wèn)：提問(wèn)地點(diǎn)用“Where+be+主語(yǔ)？”。
例如：here is a computer on the desk. Where is the computer? There were four children on the playground. Where were the four children?
（3）.對(duì)數(shù)量提問(wèn)：一般有兩種句型結(jié)構(gòu)：
How many+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+are/were (there)+介詞短語(yǔ)？
例如： There’re many children in the park.
How many children are(there)in the park?
How much+不可數(shù)名詞+is/was there+介詞短語(yǔ)？
例如： There was little rain around the year. How much rain was (there)around the year?
5．There be 的其他用法
（1）there be與have的替換。there be表示所屬關(guān)系時(shí)可與have替換。
There is nothing but a book in my bag. =I have nothing but a book in my bag.
我書包里只有一本書。
There are forty students in our class. =Our class has forty students.
我們班有四十名學(xué)生。
