對(duì)there be句型中主語(yǔ)的數(shù)量如:some, five, only one等提問(wèn)時(shí),如果主語(yǔ)是可數(shù)名詞,不管主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)一般都用復(fù)數(shù)形式提問(wèn)。

　　因?yàn)閱?wèn)話人不知道具體的數(shù)量是多少,而且many只能接可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式,所以be一定要用are.即用How many+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)+are there+地點(diǎn)/時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)的句型結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　例句:

　　1、There is a book on the desk. (用how many改為特殊疑句)How many books are there on the desk 翻譯：有多少本書(shū)在桌子上?

　　2、There are seven days in a week. (對(duì)劃線部分進(jìn)行提問(wèn))How many days are there in a week 翻譯：一周有多少天?
