3.注意不定代词的用法。

(1)不定代词在句中作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。例如：There is nothing in the fridge.(2)不定代词受形容词修饰时要放在形容词的前面。例如：There is something interesting in today's newspaper.

4.There be句型的反意疑问句，要注意陈述部分的形式。

如果陈述部分含有little，few，no，nobody，none等否定词时，后面的简短问句中要用肯定形式。例如：There is nobody in the room，is there?

但有的含有否定意义的形容词修饰不定代词时则仍看作肯定句式。例如：There is something unusual in the room，isn't there?

5.要注意句子前后意思的一致性。

有的句子单独看其意义时，可能不止一个选项适合于它，但如果联系上下句的意思则只能有一个恰当的选项。例如：(1)There is _____ food.You needn't buy any.(2) There is _____ food.You have to buy some.(A.any B.some C.no)从这两题中的第一个句子来看均可选用some和no，但与后面的句意结合看，答案则是唯一的：(1)B，(2)C。

There be句型命题趋向有两个方面：一是进一步加强对知识的理解与运用方面的考查。例如be动词与主语的一致性、名词或代词的修饰语、搭配关系、含否定词的反意疑问句等。二是有可能出现“有某人在做某事”这一句型，即“There be +sb.+doing sth.+地点/时间状语”。
