[文法] 請問一題國中文法

[leniency (leniency)]

如題，想請問大家一題國中文法。

A:有幾個人正在陽台跳繩?

B:有兩個人。

翻譯答案為

A:How many people are jumping rope on the balcony?

B:There are five.

我的問題是如果寫 How many people are there jumping rope on the balcony?

可以嗎? 有必要嗎?

既然回答是 There are five. 問題是不是也要有there呢?

→ lynnnn:(there are) 5
推 efrenwaldner:How many people直接當主詞即可
→ efrenwaldner:所以沒有there are也行
→ leniency:所以是兩者皆可嗎? 但是是不是用How many people直接當主
→ leniency:為常見，而不用are there當主詞呢? 謝謝回答!
推 toyaya:how many people直接當主詞其實在國中考題中很少見 我建議
→ toyaya:還是把問句改成 How many people are there .....?
