“there is 与 there are 的用法”

• 中文说「这城市有个公园」直接翻成「In this city have a big park」是错的，英文要用 there is/there are 这个结构来说「某个地方有什么」。
• 单数/不可数名词配 there is（可缩写 there's），复数名词配 there are，否定句是 there isn't / there aren't any / there are no。
• 疑问句把 is/are 提到 there 前面：Is there…? / Are there any…?，回答用 there is / there isn't 这类简答。
• 跟 have/has 不能混用——there is/are 描述场景里「存在」什么，have/has 描述某人/某物「拥有」什么，视角完全不同。
