There are a lot of things to do 为什么用are?

问题描述:

There are a lot of things to do 为什么用are?

there are是这有,固定搭配
there are many thing与there are many apples一样的直译
(这里有很多事) (这里有很多苹果)
就是这有,a lot of为副词可以不看,are后是负数,things是负数。

there be 句型中be的单复数是有其后所接的名词来决定的。该句中 a lot of things 是复数名词所以用are。

a lot of用来修饰可数名词复数和不可数名词 things是可数名词复数 所以用are

things是复数

things 是复数
所以be动词用复数are

lot of things 是复数,所以要用are

a lot of things 是复数、要主谓一致。所以用are
