There is・There are
There is/There are:有
There is / There are — English grammar, junior high
接續
There is + 單數/不可數名詞・There are + 複數名詞 疑問:Is there …? / Are there …?
There is + singular / uncountable · There are + plural · questions: Is there …? / Are there …?
說明
說「某處有某物」用 there is/are,be 動詞跟著後面的名詞變:There is a park near my home.(我家附近有一座公園。)There are thirty students in my class.
To say something exists somewhere, use there is / are, matching the noun after it: There is a park near my home, There are thirty students in my class.
注意事項
- 「有」不要用 have 來說存在:There is a cat under the table.,不說 It has a cat under the table。Don't use have for existence: There is a cat under the table.
常見錯誤
- ✗ There is many people here.
✓ There are many people here.
people 是複數,用 are。people is plural: are. - ✗ There have a bank near here.
✓ There is a bank near here.
there 後面接 be 動詞,不接 have。there is followed by be, not have.
例句
