??There be句型是英語中常見的特殊句型，用以表示某物某事存在或不存在。句中的there只起引導(dǎo)作用，并無實際意義，句子的真正主語是謂語動詞be后面的名詞。There be句型有多種表現(xiàn)形式，可以用來表達(dá)多種復(fù)雜的含義。
1．There be與情態(tài)動詞連用
There be句型中的謂語動詞be可與各種情態(tài)動詞連用，表示"一定有"、"可能有"、"應(yīng)該有"等含義。例如：
He felt that there must be something wrong．他感到一定是出了錯兒。
There might be drinks if you wait a bit．如果你等一會兒，可能會有酒。
There can't have been much traffic so late at night．這么晚了，街上的車輛不會太多。
There oughtn't to be too great discrepancy in our views．我們的看法不應(yīng)該有太大的分歧。
2．There be與含有情態(tài)意義的動詞或短語連用
英語中有些動詞或短語具有一定的情態(tài)含義，我們稱之為半助動詞。There be句型中的謂語動詞be可與這些半助動詞連用，表達(dá)更為復(fù)雜的意念。能用于There be句型中的這類詞語主要有：happen to（碰巧），appear ／seem to（似乎），be going to（將會），used to（曾經(jīng)），have to（必須），be likely to（很可能），bebound to（必定）等。例如：
There happened to be an old friend of mine in the club．在那個俱樂部碰巧有我的一個老朋友。
There appear to be several reasons for changing our plans．看來改變我們的計劃有幾個理由。
There used to be a cinema here before the war．戰(zhàn)前這里曾有一個電*。
Is there going to be a dancing party tonight？今晚有舞會嗎？
There are bound to be obstacles for us to get over．一定會有障礙需要我們?nèi)タ朔?BR> 3．There be的非限定形式及用法
There be結(jié)構(gòu)也可以以不定式（there to be）、動名詞（there being）和現(xiàn)在分詞（there being）的形式出現(xiàn)在句子中，作主語、賓語或狀語。這種非限定形式中的there在形式上起著邏輯主語的作用，因此，不定式there to be前有時需加介詞for，從形式上滿足引出不定式邏輯主語的需要，而分詞there being則具有獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)的意味。例如：
I don't want there to be any more trouble．我不希望再有麻煩了。（不定式作賓語）
I expect there to be no argument about this．我希望對此沒有什么爭論。（不定式作賓語）
It was unusual for there to be so few people in the street．大街上人這么少，這不大正常。（不定式作主語）
What's the chance of there being an election this year？今年舉行大選的可能性有多大？（動名詞作介詞賓語）
There being a bus stop so near the house is a great advantage．離屋子這么近有一個汽車站，這太便利了。（動名詞作主語）
There being nothing else to do，we went home．沒有別的事可做，我們就回家了。（分詞作狀語）
