Is there any good film on? 映什么好電影嗎?
Is there room for me in the car? 車子里還有我坐的地方嗎?
Are there any letters for me? 有我的信嗎?
若謂語中包括有助動詞或情態動詞，通常將助動詞或情態動詞移至句首構成疑問式。如：
Has there been an accident? 出事了嗎?
Have there been any new developments? 有什么新的發展嗎?
Can there have been so much rain there？那兒會下過那么多雨嗎？
四、there be的非謂語形式
there be結構的非謂語形式有兩種，即there being和there to be。
1. there being結構：該結構在句子中主要用作狀語。如：
There being nothing to do, I went to bed. 因為沒事可做，所以我就上床睡覺了。
There being no taxi available, he had to walk home. 由于沒有計程車可搭，他只好步行回家。
這類結構有時可與狀語從句轉換，如上面兩句也可作如下改寫：
As there was nothing to do, I went to bed.
As there was no taxi available, he had to walk home.
另外，there being結構還可用作介詞賓語。如：
What’s the chance of there being an election this year? 今年舉行選舉的可能性有多大?
No one would have dreamed of there being such a good place. 沒有人會夢想到竟有這樣一個地方。
2. there to be 結構：主要用作動詞賓語。可接該結構可用作動詞的動詞不多，常見的like, prefer, hate, want, mean, intend, expect, consider 等。如：
I don’t want there to be any more trouble. 我不想再有任何麻煩了。
Students hate there to be too much homework. 學生討厭做太多的家庭作業。
We expect there to be more discussion about this. 我們期望能對此展開更多的討論。
注意，在let there be結構中，動詞be不帶to。如：
Let there be no mistake about it. 不要誤解我的意思。
Let there be no mistake about it. 這事不要出錯。
另外，there to be 結構還可用作介詞for的賓語。注意了，用作介詞賓語一般用there being，但用作介詞for的賓語時，卻要用there to be。比較：
It was too late for there to be any buses. 太晚了，不會有公共汽車了。
They asked for there to be another meeting. 他們要求再開一次會議。
五、there be＋名詞＋非謂語動詞
1. there be+賓語+現在分詞：現在分詞表示主動關系，同時表示動作正在進行。如：
There is someone waiting for him. 有人在等他。
There was a man standing in front of me. 我前面站著一個男人。
There were some children swimming in the river. 有些小孩在河里游泳。
有時現在分詞不表示動作在進行，而表示一種狀態或現狀。如：
There’s a piano standing against the wall. 靠墻有一架鋼琴。
There’re a lot of difficulties facing us. 我們面前有很多困難。
There is a door leading to the garden. 有一座門通往花園。
正如come, go, leave, move 等表示位置移動的短暫性動詞的進行時態可表示將來意義一樣，“there be+名詞+現在分詞”也可以表示將來意義。如：
There are ten people coming to dinner. 有十個人來吃晚飯(www.yywords.com)。
There were about 300 people moving to the new factory in the south. 大約有300人要搬到南方的新廠去。
