There are still living...是什么句式

There are still living a few very old woman.

这句话为什么用there be doing，这是什么用法？

这个句子不是there存在句，这个there是地点副词，需要重读。地点状语前置，谓语为不及物动词，主语不是人称代词，则句子必须完全倒装，即主语后移至句末。你还可以用其它地点状语替换there。例如：

Deep in the forest are still living a few very old women. 倒装句

A few very old women are still living deep in the forest. 正常语序

There are still living a few very old woman.

There 开头引出“完全倒装句”。正常语序是：

A few very old woman are still living. （主系表结构）

The sooner the more beneficial to your health. 这一句的谓语是什么啊？
