有 yǒu: showing existence

有 yǒu iterally means to have, which can show the possession. For example, 他有很多小狗。(He has lots of dogs.) It can be also used to indicate the existence of someone or something in particular place. For example, 

  • 学校里有书店。Xuéxiào lǐ yǒu shūdiàn. There is a bookstore at school.
  • 杯子里有什么? Bēizi lǐ yǒu shénme? What is (there) in the cup?
  • 房间里没有人 。Fángjiān lǐ méiyǒu rén. No one in the room.

In these sentences, verb 有 (yǒu), which means "to have", can also be used to express existence. This is similar to saying "there is" or "there are" in English, and is sometimes expressed in other ways as well. The structure is Place + 有 + Object.

Please correct the following sentences by using the correct structure.

  1. 有几个中国学生在图书馆里。
  2. 有几个美国女生在健身房里。
  3. 有几本中文书在书包里。
  4. 没有人教室里。
  5. 什么有冰箱里?

Please rearrange the words and make sentences:

  1. 我的     里      手机      号码    有       你的   (Your number is in my cell phone.)
  2. 有       房间    人    里    吗 (Is there anyone in the room now?)
  3. 教学楼   很多    自行车    有     前 (There are many bicycles in front of the teaching building.)
  4. 桌子上有一个苹果。(There is an apple on the table.)
  5. 我的    有     汤    一只     里      苍蝇 (There's a fly in my soup.)
