There be 句型: 此句型是由there+be+主语+状语构成,用以表达存在关系可以称有。 它其实是全倒装的一种状况,主语坐落于谓语动词 be 之后,there 仅为引导词,并无实质语意。此句型有时不需要be动词,而用 live, stand, come, go, lie, remain, exist, arrive等,但一般不需要have。如:
There stands a hill in the middle of the park.
once upon a time there lived an old king in the town.
Be 与其后的主语在人称和数目上一致,有时态和情态变化。如:
目前有 there is/are
过去有 there was/were
以后有 there will be;there is /are going to be...
目前已经有 there has/have been
可能有 there might be...
一定有 there must be /there must have been...
过去过去有 there used to be
好像有 there seems/seem/seemed to be
碰巧有 there happen/happens/happened to be

The weatherman says therell be a strong wind in the afternoon.
There used to be a cinema here before the war.
