英語表達(dá) “存在” (既漢語 “有沒有” 的 “有”)的概念有兩種方法,既 “to have”和“to be ”, 學(xué)生們經(jīng)常混淆這兩個(gè)詞,不能正確使用。

Because there are two basic ways of expressing existence in English, or expressing the Chinese word “有”,students often mix them up and incorrectly use them together . The two ways of expressing “you” are the verbs “to have” and “to be ”.

Incorrect English:

“In Harbin every year there has an Ice-Lantern Festival. ”

Correct English:

“In Harbin every year there is an Ice-Lantern Festival.”

-or- “Every year Harbin has an Ice-Lantern Festival.”

Incorrect English:

“In Italy there has a beautiful coastline.”

Correct English:

-or- “Italy has a beautiful coastline.”
