There be句型否定句式的构成和含有be动词 的其它句型一样，在be后加上“not”。也可用 “no”来表示。即： no + n. （名词）= not aanany + n. （名词） 例如： There is an orange in her bag. →There isn’t an orange in her bag. →There is no orange in her bag.

There be结构的一般疑问句变化只需把be动 词移到句首，再在句尾加上问号即可。例如： 　There is some money in her handbag. 　→ Is there any money in her handbag?
