一、 ＂There be＂結構

　　考生病句：

　　1. There are many people like to go to the movies.

　　2. There are different kinds of vegetables can be bought on the market by people.

　　正確表達：

　　1. There are many people who like to go to the movies.

　　2. There are different kinds of vegetables that people can buy on the market.

　　這兩個例句的錯誤比較有普遍性，因為在歷次考試中有不少考生不能正確運用there be這一最常用的句式。在這種結構中，there是引導詞，沒有實際意義。be在句中作謂語，有時態和數的變化。

　　例如：

　　1. There was no school in the village at that time. (=there was not a school...)

　　注意：在否定句中，否定詞用no，也可用not a或not any。not a后接單數名詞，not a 后接復數名詞，no后面的名詞單復數都可以。

　　2. There is not a moment to be lost.

　　3. There are many people rushing into the cities every year.

　　4. There are many things we can do to prevent traffic accidents.

　　5. There is no use holding back the wheel of history.

　　從以上例句還可看出，句中的主語后面可接多種修飾語，如介詞短語、不定式短語、定語從句、分詞短語等等。這無疑使該結構增加了表現力，使句子表達內容更加豐富。 在運用這一結構時，考生最容易犯的錯誤是在there be之后又用了一個動詞作謂語，使句子結構出現嚴重錯誤。這里列舉的考生的典型錯誤均屬這種情況，對此我們在寫作中要格外注意。
