there be非謂語形式可在句中作主語、賓語、狀語和定語。(其中作賓語和狀語在1991年和1994年測試過，定語見1996年題10。)

The students expected there to be more reviewing classes before the final exams.(作賓語如1991年題30)

1)作動詞賓語時，通常用there to be結(jié)構(gòu)，而不用there being。能這樣用的及物動詞為：expect，like，mean，intend，want，prefer，hate等，如：

We don't want there to be any comrades lagging behind，我們不希望有任何同志掉隊(duì)。

They hate there to be long queues everywhere.他們不愿意處處都要排長隊(duì)。

We have no objection to there being a meeting here.我們并不反對在這里開會。

It isn't enough for there to be a frost tonight，so I can leave Jim's car out quite safely.(作狀語)

2)作狀語多用there being結(jié)構(gòu)，但若置于介詞之后，for用there to be整個介詞短語作程度狀語，其它多半用there being。

There being nobody else at hand, I had to do by myself.由于附近沒有人，我只得獨(dú)自干了。(原因狀語)

It's too early for there to be anybody up.太早了，還不會有人起床。(作程度狀語)

There having been no rain for a long time，the ground was very dry.因?yàn)楹瞄L時間沒下雨了，地面非常干燥。(原因狀語)

3)作主語時兩種結(jié)構(gòu)都可以，但如是用for引導(dǎo)則要用there to be。

It is not uncommon for there to be problems of communication between old and young.老人與年青人之間存在著溝通問題是很常見的。

There being a kindergarten on campus is a great convenience to female teachers.幼兒園在校園內(nèi)對女教師十分方便。

4)作定語。 There be結(jié)構(gòu)作定語時，定語從句中謂語為there be，there之前的關(guān)系代詞常常省略。如：

This is the fastest train (that) there is to Nanking.這是到南京的最快一班車。

I must make full use of the time there is left to me and do as much as I can for the people.我要充分利用我剩下的歲月盡量為人民多做些事。
