نظرة عامة

هل سبق لك أن دخلت غرفة وشعرت أن شخصًا ما يراقبك؟ أو فتحت ثلاجتك لتدرك أنه there is لا يوجد شيء لتأكله سوى جرة مخلل وحيدة؟ نستخدم هاتين العبارتين الصغيرتين، there is و there are للإشارة إلى وجود شيء ما.
في العديد من اللغات، قد يكون لديك كلمة واحدة فقط لهذا (مثل 'hay' في الإسبانية)، لكن اللغة الإنجليزية تحب أن تكون أكثر تحديدًا. نحن نهتم بما إذا كنا نتحدث عن شيء واحد أو مجموعة من الأشياء. فكر في هذه العبارات على أنها «إصبع التأشير» في اللغة الإنجليزية.
أنت لا تقول ماذا يفعل الشيء؛ أنت فقط تعلن للعالم أنه موجود. سواء كنت تبلغ عن خلل في لعبة فيديو أو تخبر صديقك there's أن هناك تخفيضات هائلة على Steam، فأنت تستخدم هذه القاعدة.

كيف تعمل هذه القاعدة

في اللغة الإنجليزية، تحتاج كل جملة إلى فاعل. عادة، يكون هذا شخصًا مثل I أو you. ولكن ماذا لو كنت تريد فقط أن تقول إن شيئًا ما موجود؟
لا يمكنك فقط بدء جملة بـ Is a cat on the table. يبدو الأمر وكأنك روبوت تنفد بطاريته. هذا هو المكان الذي يأتي فيه there.
في هذا السياق، there لا تعني «هناك» (المكان). بدلاً من ذلك، فهي «فاعل وهمي». إنها مجرد مكان محجوز يفتح الباب حتى تتمكن بقية الجملة من الدخول.
التركيز الحقيقي للجملة يأتي *بعد* الفعل. إذا قلت There is a coffee on my desk فإن كلمة coffee هي النجمة الحقيقية. يجب أن يتطابق الفعل is أو are مع تلك النجمة.

نمط التكوين

1
إنشاء هذه الجمل سهل مثل طلب الطعام عبر أحد التطبيقات. تحتاج فقط إلى ثلاثة أجزاء:
2
كلمة there (مكانه المحجوز).
3
الفعل to be (إما is أو are).
4
الاسم (الشيء الموجود).

متى نستخدمها

  • وصف صورة:
    There is غروب شمس جميل في هذه الصورة.
  • التحقق من التوفر:
    Is there هل يتوفر Uber الآن؟
  • الإبلاغ عن مشاكل: "There's هناك خلل في التحديث الأخير."
  • وضع خطط:
    There are هناك ثلاثة أفلام تعرض في السينما الليلة.
أساسًا، في أي وقت تقوم فيه بـ «تمهيد المسرح»، فإنك تحتاج إلى هذا النمط.

الأخطاء الشائعة

أكبر فخ هو استخدام It is عندما يجب عليك استخدام There is. يحدث هذا لأن العديد من اللغات تستخدم نفس الكلمة لكليهما. إذا قلت It is a fly in my soup فأنت تقول إن الذبابة *هي* الحساء. وهذا مقرف وخاطئ. استخدم There is لتقول إن الذبابة موجودة في ذلك المكان.

ملاحظات ثقافية

Native speakers often use 'There's' even for plural nouns in very casual speech (e.g., 'There's two cars'). However, this is considered grammatically incorrect in exams and formal writing.

In the UK, it is very common to use 'There is' with collective nouns like 'team' or 'staff', but sometimes they use 'There are' if they think of the members as individuals.

In some dialects, you might hear 'There's' used for almost everything, or even 'It's' used in place of 'There's'.

The use of 'there' as a dummy subject dates back to Old English, where 'þær' was used to introduce sentences.

الأسئلة الشائعة (8)

In very casual speech, native speakers often do this (e.g., 'There's two dogs'). However, in exams and formal writing, you must use 'There are'.

Use `There is` to introduce something for the first time. Use `It is` to describe that thing later. Example: 'There is a bird. It is blue.'

Usually, we look at the first item. If the first item is singular, we use `There is`. Example: 'There is a bed and two chairs.'

Just swap the words: `Is there...?` or `Are there...?` and add a question mark at the end.

Uncountable nouns always use the singular form: `There is some water.`

Yes! Both are correct. `There are no apples` is slightly more emphatic than `There aren't any apples`.

It is a contraction of 'There are', but it is very rare in writing because it is hard to say. It's better to write 'There are'.

Because it doesn't have a real meaning in the sentence; it just fills the subject position so the real subject can come after the verb.
