直譯：你可以讓900元走嗎?意思為：我可以花900元買它嗎?這里是要求收銀員把零頭抹去的表達方法。
2. It’ll be great to have you again.
這是歡迎下次光臨的正確表達方法，而不可以說成是：Welcome back again”。
語法小結 Grammer
There be 存在句型
there be 句型就是我們說的“某地有某物”，它表示存在，它常用于一般現在時、一般過去時和一般將來時。
1. 基本結構是there be +主語+地點。
如果要表示“某地沒有某物”，直接加入否定詞就可以了，there be not(any, much) + 主語+ 地點
There are some chairs in your room. 在你房間里有些椅子。
There aren’t any chairs in your room. 你房間里沒有椅子。
2. there be 與have 的區別
There are six chairs in my room. (強調某地有某物)在我的房間里有6把椅子。
I have six chairs. (強調某人擁有某物)我有6把椅子。
3. be 動詞與后面所接的名詞的單、復數保持一致
There is a girl over there. 那邊有一個女孩。
There are five girls over there. 那邊有5個女孩。
4. 就近原則，即當be動詞后面不止一個名詞時，要和緊跟其后的名詞單、復數保持一致
There is a boy and two girls in the room. 房間里有一個男孩和兩個女孩。
There are two girls and a boy in the room. 房間里有兩個女孩和一個男孩。
5. there be 時態變化
