國一英語 - 如何使用[there are]與[they are]？

場景： Frank and his mom are in the living room.

Frank, with his hands full of cookies, walks over to his mom.

Frank:               Mom.  Where is Dad?

Frank’s mom:   He is on the way home.

Frank:               I want to share my cookies with you.

Frank’s mom:   Thank you! 

[ 知道是什麼人或東西，再次提到，要用人稱代名詞 – I, you, he, she, it, we, they ]

以下英語試題是出自於”金安文教機構”出版的翰林版105年國一上試題篇 英語1，這些題目是落在國一英語第二次段考的範圍內。

Page 64  第11題

There are a lion and a tiger behind the house.   (O)

They are a lion and a tiger behind the house.   (X)

(前面沒提到任何東西，第一次要敘述或說明，要用there are，表示有東西存在)

Page 64  第12題

Sean:          What is there in the pool?

Nick:         A boy and his favorite zebra.

(使用what的問句，不知道是任何東西或多少，要用單數is – “is there”)

Peter:         Twenty.  They are hippos, zebras, and koalas.  (O)      

                  Twenty.  There are hippos, zebras, and koala.  (X)

(“Twenty是簡答，詳答是”There are twenty animals in the park”。所以再次提到，要用人稱代名詞 – they)

Peter:         Yes, there is only one.  (O)

                  Yes, it is only one.   (X)
