  1. there be结构的主谓一致

    在英语里表示什么地方或时间存在什么事情就用此结构,句子的结尾往往带有地点状语或时间状语。其中there是引导词,本身没有词意,be是谓语动词,be后面的名词是主语。be的数与后面的名词一致,若be后是两个或多个并列的名词,be则与靠得最近的那个名词的数一致。如:

    There was a meeting yesterday. 昨天有个会议。

    There is a pen, two books and many pencils on the desk. 桌上有一支钢笔、两本书和好些铅笔。

    比较:There are two books, a pen and many pencils on the desk.


    2. there be与have的比较

    (1) 用法不同:there be 表示某个时间或地方“存在”某人或某物,而have表示主语“拥有”某人或某物,作宾语的某人或某物属主语所有。

    (2) 结构不同:there be + sb./sth. +时间/地点(副词或介词短语);sb./sth. + have

Prayers....

Have you ever noticed that everytime we pray, it makes us feel assured, humbled and selfless? Like you could share your thoughts, plans, and things that you want to accomplish to God.
