注意:
There与be中间可插入一些表推测的情态动词、表时态的短语和一些动词短语
(如和将来时be going to\ will、现在完成时 have\has + pp. 、used to结构等连用，注意其构成形式)。
例如：
There must be a pen in the box.
There happened to be some money in my pocket.
There is going to be a meeting tonight.
There has been a big tree on the top of the hill.
There used to be a church across from the bank.

There be + 主语 + doing +介词短语. 例如：

There be结构中的be动词的确定：
1. there be 结构中的谓语动词be在人称和数上应与其后的主语保持一致。主语是不可数名词或单数可数名词时用is，是复数时用are。如： 　　
   There is a flower in the bottle. 瓶里有一朵花。 　　
   There is some money in the purse. 钱包里有些钱。 　　
2. 若句子中有几个并列的主语时，be的形式要与离其最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致。如： 　　
   There is a boy, a girl and two women in the house.
   房子里有一个男孩，一个女孩和两个妇女。 　　
   There are ten students and a teacher in the office.
   办公室里有十个学生和一个教师。 　　
3. 另外，在陈述句中为了强调地点，也可将介词短语提到句首。如： 　　
   In the tree there are five birds. 树上有五只鸟。
