几种时态的区分
到目前为止,我们己经学过用多种时态来表达行为或状态。本模块重点复习一般现在时、一般过去时和现在完成时。那么,如何区分这三种时态呢?下面我们以一种行为或状 态为例,来看一下它们有什么不同。
Grammar
请看下面的句子:
I often watch cartoon films.我经常看卡通片。
I watched Spiderman last week.我上周看了《蜘蛛侠》。
I have already watched Spiderman. I do not want to watch it again.我已经看过《蜘蛛侠》了,不想再看了。
可以看出,(1)表示经常性、习惯性的动作,所以用一般现在时;(2)表示在过去某个时间发生的行为,用一般过去时;(3)中发生的动作也是在过去,但是没有明确的表 示过去的时间,并且本句强调的是结果,即“现在不想再看了”,所以用的是现在完成时。
1.表示经常或反复发生的动作,常与 always, often, usually, sometimes,once a day, every day等频度时间状语连用。如:
He often goes to school by bus.
他经常坐公交车上学。
We always have supper at 6:30 pm.
我们总是在晚上6点半吃晚饭。
一般现在时的用法
2. 表示现在的状态、特征、能力和感觉。这类动词有be, love,like,hate, want, hope, need, prefer, wish, know, look, sound, taste, have 等。如:
He is very happy.他很幸福。(表示状态)
She looks like her father.
她看上去像她爸爸。(表示特征)
He knows not only English, but also French.
他不仅懂英语,而且懂法语。(表示能力)
How do you like the film?
你觉得这个电影怎么样?(表示感觉)
3. 表示客观真理、科学事实和客观存在。如:
The sun rises in the east.
太阳从东方升起。
Light travels faster than sound.
光速比声速快。
4.表示天气、时间、旅程、籍贯等情况。如:
—What's the weather like today?
今天天气如何?
— It's windy.今天有风。
—Where are you from?你是哪里人?
—I'm from Shanghai.我是上海人。
•在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,用一般现在时表示将来。如:
If it rains tomorrow, we'll stay at home.
如果明天下雨,我们就待在家里。
We won't begin the class until our teacher arrives.
直到老师来,我们才开始上课。
特别提示:
•表示已决定或计划要做的事,或按自然规律会发生的事。常用于这类情况的动词有 come, go, start, begin, leave, return, arrive,stop, close 等,此时用一般现在时表示将来。如:
Her father leaves for America next week.
她父亲下周动身去美国。
When does the train arrive? 火车儿点到?
Tomorrow is Tuesday. 明天是星期二。
1. 表示过去某一时间发生的动作或存在的状态,常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如 yesterday, last year/month/week, in 2004, three hours ago, two years ago
