The students expected there ___more reviewing
classes before the final exam.
A.is B.to be C.being
答案选C，这是什么用法呀

这实际上是一个搭配，there being+.....构成动名词短语形式。

如句子：there is a picture on the wall
转换为动名词短语:there being a picture on the wall.

我在给你举个例子，就应该有点感觉了。
I’m fearful because of there being a picture on the wall
=I'm fearful because there is a picture.

另外特殊动词后+to do 的
如：expect there to be
want there to be
本人认为这里B,C都可选，C只是强调了同学们一直期待着，期待的过程。

There being 的用法


用法讲解：

there be句式的非谓语形式

There be 的非谓语形式有两种，即there to be 和there being。需要掌握以下几个情况：

1. 作主语

当作主语时，一般是There being结构，当句式中有for时，一般用there to be。如：

There being a shop here is a great advantage. 这儿有个商店，真是方便极了。

It is impossible for there to be any more. 不可能再有了。

2. 作宾语

作动词宾语时，一般用there to be 结构。常见动词有：expect, mean, intend want, prefer等：

We expect there to be no argument. 我们希望不会出现争吵。

People don't want there to be another war. 人们不希望再有战争。

作介词的宾语一般用There being句式，但当在for后时一般用there to be句式。

This depended on there being a sudden change. 这需要有一个突然的改变。

The teacher was waiting for there to be complete silence.老师在等着大家都安静下来。

3. 作状语

用作状语的there be的形式通常用there being结构。

There being no buses, we had to walk home.

由于没有公共汽车，我们不得不走着回家。

屋里没人，我们意识到哭喊是没有用的。

注意：如果句中出现for时应用there to be。
