2)作狀語多用there being結(jié)構(gòu)，但若置于介詞之后，for用there to be整個(gè)介詞短語作程度狀語，其它多半用there being。

It’s too early for there to be anybody up.太早了，還不會(huì)有人起床。(作程度狀語)

3)作主語時(shí)兩種結(jié)構(gòu)都可以，但如是用for引導(dǎo)則要用there to be。
It is not uncommon for there to be problems of communication between old and young.老人與年青人之間存在著溝通問題是很常見的。
There being a kindergarten on campus is a great convenience to female teachers.幼兒園在校園內(nèi)對(duì)女教師十分方便。
4)作定語。 There be結(jié)構(gòu)作定語時(shí)，定語從句中謂語為there be，there之前的關(guān)系代詞常常省略。如：
This is the fastest train (that) there is to Nanking.這是到南京的最快一班車。
I must make full use of the time there is left to me and do as much as I can for the people.我要充分利用我剩下的歲月盡量為人民多做些事。
