概念說明
There is / There are 的疑問句是 把 be 動詞移到 There 前面，變成 Is there / Are there 的形態，回答則用 Yes, there is / are 或 No, there isn't / aren't 簡短作答。語序統一成「(疑問詞) + be 動詞 + there + 名詞 + ?」。
A. 造疑問句的方法 — 把 be 動詞移到 There 前面
把直述句 There is / are 裡的 be 動詞(is / are)移到 There 前面，就變成疑問句。Is there + 單數 + ? / Are there + 複數 + ? 請把這個語序成套記起來。
| 直述句 | 疑問句 |
|---|---|
| There is a park here. | Is there a park here? |
| There is water in the bottle. | Is there water in the bottle? |
| There are three chairs. | Are there three chairs? |
| There are any questions. | Are there any questions? |
- Is there a bathroom on this floor? (這一層有洗手間嗎？)
- Is there enough time for lunch? (吃午餐的時間夠嗎？)
- Are there any good restaurants nearby? (附近有好的餐廳嗎？)
- Are there many people at the party? (派對上人多嗎？)
B. Yes / No 簡短回答
Is there ~? 要用 Yes, there is / No, there isn't 回答，Are there ~? 要用 Yes, there are / No, there aren't 回答，而且回答裡也一定要再放進 there。
| 問句 | 肯定回答 | 否定回答 |
|---|---|---|
| Is there a pen? | Yes, there is. | No, there isn't. |
| Is there milk? | Yes, there is. | No, there isn't. |
| Are there any seats? | Yes, there are. | No, there aren't. |
| Are there many people? | Yes, there are. | No, there aren't. |
- Is there a good movie tonight? — Yes, there is. (今天晚上有好看的電影嗎？是的，有。)
- Is there any coffee left? — No, there isn't. (還有剩下的咖啡嗎？不，沒有。)
- Are there any tickets available? — Yes, there are. (還有票嗎？是的，有。)
- Are there many students in this school? — No, there aren't. (這所學校學生多嗎？不，不多。)
C. How many / How much + are there / is there — 詢問數量
要問數與量時，使用 How many + 複數 + are there ~? / How much + 不可數名詞 + is there ~? 的形態。這個模式在掌握對方的狀況時非常常用。
| 問句 | 例子 | 意思 |
|---|---|---|
| How many + 複數 | How many people are there in your family? | 你家有幾個人？ |
| How many + 複數 | How many rooms are there in the house? | 那間房子有幾個房間？ |
| How much + 不可數 | How much water is there in the bottle? | 瓶子裡有多少水？ |
| How much + 不可數 | How much money is there in the account? | 帳戶裡有多少錢？ |
- How many students are there in your class? (你班上有幾個學生？)
- How many days are there in February? (二月有幾天？)
- How much sugar is there in this cake? (這個蛋糕裡放了多少糖？)
- How much time is there before the meeting? (到開會之前還有多少時間？)
重點整理
- 1Is there / Are there 疑問句是把 be 動詞移到 there 前面造出來的，這個語序是唯一的規則。
- 2回答時也一定要再放進 there，請記住這一點。(X: Yes, is. / O: Yes, there is.)
- 3疑問句裡名詞前面通常會加 a / any 讓句子自然，請把這個慣用法學起來。(例: Is there any milk?)
- 4問數量時要遵守 How many + 複數 + are there、How much + 不可數名詞 + is there 的語序，請把這條規則記起來。
- 5不可數名詞一律用 Is there，不會寫成 Are there，請遵守這條規則。
