语法精讲——现在完成时
1.现在完成时基本结构:
主语+have/has+动词的过去分词
①肯定句:主语+have/has+动词的过去分词+宾语.
②否定句:主语+have/has+not+动词的过去分词)+宾语.
③一般疑问句:Have/Has+主语+动词的过去分词+宾语.
④特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词或词组+一般疑问句(have/has+主语+过去分词(V-ed)+其他)
2.过去分词变化规则如下:
1. 规则动词:规则动词的过去分词的构成规则与规则动词的过去式的构成规则相同。变化规则有四点:
(1)一般动词,在词尾直接加"-ed "。
work→worked→worked visit→visited→visited
(2)以" e "结尾的动词,只在词尾加"-d "。
live→lived→lived
(3)以"辅音字母 + y "结尾的动词,将 "y" 变为 "i" ,再加"-ed "。
study→studied→studied cry→cried→cried
(4)重读闭音节结尾,末尾只有一个辅音字母,先双写该辅音字母,再加"-ed "。
stop→stopped→stopped drop→dropped→dropped
2. 不规则动词变化需参看不规则动词表逐一熟记。
cut→cut→cut it→hit→hit
3.现在完成时用法
1. 现在完成时用来表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成影响或后果。也就是说,动作或状态发生在过去但它的影响现在还存在,强调的是现在。
I have already posted the photo.
我已经把照片寄走了。强调post对现在的影响"照片不在这里"。
2. 现在完成时可以用来表示发生在过去某一时刻的、持续到现在的动作(用行为动词表示)或状态(be动词表示),常与for(+时间段),since(+时间点或过去时的句子)连用,谓语动词必须是延续性动词。如:
He has lived here since 1978.
自从1978年以来,他一直住在这儿。(动作起始于1978年,一直住到现在,可能还要继续住下去。)
注意:for和since的用法。
①for + 时间段 译为:……时间
②since + 过去一个时间点(译为:自从……以来)
③since + 时间段 + ago
④since + 从句(过去时)
⑤It is + 时间段 + since + 从句(过去时)
注意:瞬间动词(buy, die, join, lose...)与for 或since引导的时间段连用时,要改变成延续性动词。变化如下:
come/arrive/reach/get to→be in go out→be out finish→be over
open→be open die→be dead buy→have
Fall ill→be ill Come back→be back Put on→be on/wear
Worry→be worried Catch a cold→have a cold
4.现在完成时连用的时间状语
现在完成时是一个与过去和现在都有关系的时态,因此,具有这样时间特点的状语都可以与现在完成时连用。
1. 与表示一段时间的状语连用,如"for+时间段","since+时间点"。如:
We have lived in this city for more than 40 years. 我们在这个城市已生活了40多年。
We have lived in this city since 1958. 我们从1958年起就住在这个城市里。
从以上两个例句我们可以看出,与表示一段时间的状语连用时,谓语动词常为stay, live, teach, learn, work, sleep, read, wait, keep等具有延续意义的动词。
2. 与笼统地表示过去的时间状语连用,如already, never, ever, just等。如:
I’ve just found this library book. 我刚刚找到这本图书馆的书。
How beautifully she sings! I have never heard a better voice.
她唱得多美啊!我还从来没听到过比这更优美的嗓音。
3. 与表示包含过去和现在的一整段时间的状语连用,如lately, recently, in the past few years, these few years, these days, up to now, so far等。如:
How have you been recently? 你近来状况如何?
The famous writer has written a new book in the past two years.
那位著名的作家在过去两年的时间里写了一本新书。
Have you seen her parents these days? 这些天你看见她的父母了吗?
The Browns have visited a lot of places in China so far.
迄今为止,布朗一家已经参观了中国的许多地方。
注意:现在完成时不能与单纯表示过去的时间状语连用,如yesterday, last week, in 2002, three days ago等
5.现在完成时与一般过去时区别
1. 侧重点不同
现在完成时和一般过去时所表示的动作都发生在过去,但它们所强调的重点不同:现在完成时侧重于对现在的影响;而一般过去时侧重于某一动作发生在过去某个时间或某段时间,即现在完成时侧重于现在的结果,而一般过去时侧重于动作发生的时间。如:
I have seen the film.
我看过这部电影。(现在我仍记得电影的内容)
I saw the film three days ago.
三天前我看了这部电影。(强调是三天前,而不是别的什么时候看的电影)
Mr Green has bought a new computer.
格林先生买了一台新电脑。(着重点是格林先生现在有了一台新电脑)
Mr Green bought a new computer yesterday.
格林先生昨天买了一台新电脑。(强调的是格林先生买新电脑的时间是昨天)
2. 时间状语不同
现在完成时常与already,yet,just,ever,never,before等副词以及"for+段时间","since+过去时间/从句"等时间状语连用;而一般过去时则常与"时间段+ago",just now,yesterday,last week等表示过去的时间状语连用。如:
She has lived here since two years ago. 她两年前就住在这里了。
She lived here two years ago. 两年前她住在这里。
He has been in the League for three years. 他入团已经三年了。
Tom wrote a letter to his parents last night. 昨晚汤姆给他的父母写了封信。
Important Sentences structures.
1. The soldier came down the stairs-two at a time.
at a time表示“依次,逐一,每次”的意思。
e. g. Take the pills two at a time. 每次服两粒。
She ran up the stairs two at a time. 她一步两阶地跑上楼梯。
2. Outside the main gates of the city stood a huge wooden house.
(1)此句为倒装句,应为A huge horse made of wood stood outside the main gates of the city.
英语中,倒装句表示强调或引起注意。
e. g. The door opened and in came a middle-aged woman. 门开了,进来一位中年妇女,
(2)a huge horse made of wood木制的大马
made of wood为过去分词短语作名词的定语,通常放在这一名词的后面。
3. It's so big that they couldn’t take it with them.
so… that如此……以至于……(中间使用形容词或副词,引导结果状语从句)
e. g. They are so excited that they have forgot to go home. 他们是如此高兴以至于忘记了回家。
It rained so heavily that we had to stay at home. 雨下得如此大,以至于我们不得不呆在家中。
【知识拓展】
(1)so…that…后接肯定句可转换成enough to的结构,变成简单句。
e. g. I am so tall that I can reach the shelf. =I am tall enough to reach the shelf.
(2)so…that…后接否定句可转换成too…to的结构,变成简单句。
e. g. The box was so heavy that he couldn't carry it.=The box was too heavy for him to carry.
4. So the Trojans dragged it into the city with ropes.
drag…with ropes中with表示“以……方式,用……手段”。
e. g. write…with a pen用笔写,…cut…with a knife用刀切……
【知识拓展】with还可解释为“带有,具有”。
e. g. She is a beautiful girl with long hair. 她是一位有着长头发的漂亮女孩。
The lady got on the bus with a baby in her arm. 这位女士手里抱着一个小孩上了公共汽车。
with还可解释为“随着”。
e. g. With the development of computer science, you can know almost everything without going out.
随着计算机科学的发展,你可以不用出门就可以了解天下。
5. No guards stopped them as they opened the main gates.
句中的as解释为“当……时,正值……”。
e. g. As I walking clown the street I noticed a police car.当我在街上走的时候,我看到了一辆警车。
作为从属连词,三者都有“当……的时候”的意思,但用法稍有不同。
(1) as强调主从句动作或事情同时发生或进行,常译为。一边……一边……”,此时as也可换作when或while。
e. g. As (When/While)I was walking along the road, I noticed a police car in front of a shop.
当我沿着公路行走时,我注意到一家商店门口停着一辆警车。
如果表示两个短时间动作或事件同时发生,最常用as(just as)。
e. g. As I sat down on the chair, he gave me a cup of tea. 就在我在椅子上坐下时,他给了我一杯茶。
(2)when和while意为“当……时候”,when可以表示时间点,也可以表示一段时间,谓语动词是终止性和延续性动词都可。而while只表示“在某一段时间里”,因此它引导的句子中的动词必须是延续性的。
e. g. While(When) we were in Beijing, we saw him twice. 我们在北京的时候,看到过他两次。
When the clock struck twelve, all the lights went out.(不能用while)当钟声敲响12点时,所有的灯都熄灭了。
【友情提示】while还可用作并列连词,表对比,意为“而,然而”,when也可作并列连词,表示“恰在此时,
就在这时候”,as引导时间状语从句时还可表示“随着”。
I like P. E. , while she likes music. 我喜欢体育,而她喜欢音乐。
I was about to leave when the phone rang. 我刚要离开,这时电话铃响了。
As the time went on, his theory proved to be true. 随着时间流逝,他的理论证明是正确的。
6. It had returned in the darkness when the citizens were celebrating inside.
return=come back,go back意为“回来,回去”。return还可作“归还”讲,等于give back,所以return不能与back相连。
e. g. Your mother will return in a moment. 你的母亲一会儿就回来,
Do not forget to return my key. 不要忘记还我的钥匙。
7. Now the army entered the city.
Enter=come into,go into意为“进入”,所以enter不能与into相连。
e. g. When the teacher entered the classroom, the students stopped talking. 当老师走进教室时,学生们停止说话。
8. Then the Trojans made sure all the gates of the city were securely locked, and they all went to sleep, including the gate guards.
make sure表示“确信”,go to sleep表示“入睡,睡着”,注意:including在本句中是介词用法。
e. g. All animals including men feed on plants or other animals.
包括人类在内的所有动物都以植物或其他动物为食。
I’ve got three days, holiday including New Year’s Day. 包括元旦在内我有三天假。
9. For ten years, they could not capture the city by fighting.
by在这里解释为“通过”,后跟名词或动名词。

e. g. My wallet was stolen by a thief. 我的钱包被一个小偷偷了。

语法精讲——现在完成时
1.现在完成时基本结构:
主语+have/has+动词的过去分词
①肯定句:主语+have/has+动词的过去分词+宾语.
②否定句:主语+have/has+not+动词的过去分词)+宾语.
③一般疑问句:Have/Has+主语+动词的过去分词+宾语.
④特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词或词组+一般疑问句(have/has+主语+过去分词(V-ed)+其他)
2.过去分词变化规则如下:
1. 规则动词:规则动词的过去分词的构成规则与规则动词的过去式的构成规则相同。变化规则有四点:
(1)一般动词,在词尾直接加"-ed "。
work→worked→worked visit→visited→visited
(2)以" e "结尾的动词,只在词尾加"-d "。
live→lived→lived
(3)以"辅音字母 + y "结尾的动词,将 "y" 变为 "i" ,再加"-ed "。
study→studied→studied cry→cried→cried
(4)重读闭音节结尾,末尾只有一个辅音字母,先双写该辅音字母,再加"-ed "。
stop→stopped→stopped drop→dropped→dropped
2. 不规则动词变化需参看不规则动词表逐一熟记。
cut→cut→cut it→hit→hit
3.现在完成时用法
1. 现在完成时用来表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成影响或后果。也就是说,动作或状态发生在过去但它的影响现在还存在,强调的是现在。
I have already posted the photo.
我已经把照片寄走了。强调post对现在的影响"照片不在这里"。
2. 现在完成时可以用来表示发生在过去某一时刻的、持续到现在的动作(用行为动词表示)或状态(be动词表示),常与for(+时间段),since(+时间点或过去时的句子)连用,谓语动词必须是延续性动词。如:
He has lived here since 1978.
自从1978年以来,他一直住在这儿。(动作起始于1978年,一直住到现在,可能还要继续住下去。)
注意:for和since的用法。
①for + 时间段 译为:……时间
②since + 过去一个时间点(译为:自从……以来)
③since + 时间段 + ago
④since + 从句(过去时)
⑤It is + 时间段 + since + 从句(过去时)
注意:瞬间动词(buy, die, join, lose...)与for 或since引导的时间段连用时,要改变成延续性动词。变化如下:
come/arrive/reach/get to→be in go out→be out finish→be over
open→be open die→be dead buy→have
Fall ill→be ill Come back→be back Put on→be on/wear
Worry→be worried Catch a cold→have a cold
4.现在完成时连用的时间状语
现在完成时是一个与过去和现在都有关系的时态,因此,具有这样时间特点的状语都可以与现在完成时连用。
1. 与表示一段时间的状语连用,如"for+时间段","since+时间点"。如:
We have lived in this city for more than 40 years. 我们在这个城市已生活了40多年。
We have lived in this city since 1958. 我们从1958年起就住在这个城市里。
从以上两个例句我们可以看出,与表示一段时间的状语连用时,谓语动词常为stay, live, teach, learn, work, sleep, read, wait, keep等具有延续意义的动词。
2. 与笼统地表示过去的时间状语连用,如already, never, ever, just等。如:
I’ve just found this library book. 我刚刚找到这本图书馆的书。
How beautifully she sings! I have never heard a better voice.
她唱得多美啊!我还从来没听到过比这更优美的嗓音。
3. 与表示包含过去和现在的一整段时间的状语连用,如lately, recently, in the past few years, these few years, these days, up to now, so far等。如:
How have you been recently? 你近来状况如何?
The famous writer has written a new book in the past two years.
那位著名的作家在过去两年的时间里写了一本新书。
Have you seen her parents these days? 这些天你看见她的父母了吗?
The Browns have visited a lot of places in China so far.
迄今为止,布朗一家已经参观了中国的许多地方。
注意:现在完成时不能与单纯表示过去的时间状语连用,如yesterday, last week, in 2002, three days ago等
5.现在完成时与一般过去时区别
1. 侧重点不同
现在完成时和一般过去时所表示的动作都发生在过去,但它们所强调的重点不同:现在完成时侧重于对现在的影响;而一般过去时侧重于某一动作发生在过去某个时间或某段时间,即现在完成时侧重于现在的结果,而一般过去时侧重于动作发生的时间。如:
I have seen the film.
我看过这部电影。(现在我仍记得电影的内容)
I saw the film three days ago.
三天前我看了这部电影。(强调是三天前,而不是别的什么时候看的电影)
Mr Green has bought a new computer.
格林先生买了一台新电脑。(着重点是格林先生现在有了一台新电脑)
Mr Green bought a new computer yesterday.
格林先生昨天买了一台新电脑。(强调的是格林先生买新电脑的时间是昨天)
2. 时间状语不同
现在完成时常与already,yet,just,ever,never,before等副词以及"for+段时间","since+过去时间/从句"等时间状语连用;而一般过去时则常与"时间段+ago",just now,yesterday,last week等表示过去的时间状语连用。如:
She has lived here since two years ago. 她两年前就住在这里了。
She lived here two years ago. 两年前她住在这里。
He has been in the League for three years. 他入团已经三年了。
Tom wrote a letter to his parents last night. 昨晚汤姆给他的父母写了封信。
Important Sentences structures.
1. The soldier came down the stairs-two at a time.
at a time表示“依次,逐一,每次”的意思。
e. g. Take the pills two at a time. 每次服两粒。
She ran up the stairs two at a time. 她一步两阶地跑上楼梯。
2. Outside the main gates of the city stood a huge wooden house.
(1)此句为倒装句,应为A huge horse made of wood stood outside the main gates of the city.
英语中,倒装句表示强调或引起注意。
e. g. The door opened and in came a middle-aged woman. 门开了,进来一位中年妇女,
(2)a huge horse made of wood木制的大马
made of wood为过去分词短语作名词的定语,通常放在这一名词的后面。
3. It's so big that they couldn’t take it with them.
so… that如此……以至于……(中间使用形容词或副词,引导结果状语从句)
e. g. They are so excited that they have forgot to go home. 他们是如此高兴以至于忘记了回家。
It rained so heavily that we had to stay at home. 雨下得如此大,以至于我们不得不呆在家中。
【知识拓展】
(1)so…that…后接肯定句可转换成enough to的结构,变成简单句。
e. g. I am so tall that I can reach the shelf. =I am tall enough to reach the shelf.
(2)so…that…后接否定句可转换成too…to的结构,变成简单句。
e. g. The box was so heavy that he couldn't carry it.=The box was too heavy for him to carry.
4. So the Trojans dragged it into the city with ropes.
drag…with ropes中with表示“以……方式,用……手段”。
e. g. write…with a pen用笔写,…cut…with a knife用刀切……
【知识拓展】with还可解释为“带有,具有”。
e. g. She is a beautiful girl with long hair. 她是一位有着长头发的漂亮女孩。
The lady got on the bus with a baby in her arm. 这位女士手里抱着一个小孩上了公共汽车。
with还可解释为“随着”。
e. g. With the development of computer science, you can know almost everything without going out.
随着计算机科学的发展,你可以不用出门就可以了解天下。
5. No guards stopped them as they opened the main gates.
句中的as解释为“当……时,正值……”。
e. g. As I walking clown the street I noticed a police car.当我在街上走的时候,我看到了一辆警车。
作为从属连词,三者都有“当……的时候”的意思,但用法稍有不同。
(1) as强调主从句动作或事情同时发生或进行,常译为。一边……一边……”,此时as也可换作when或while。
e. g. As (When/While)I was walking along the road, I noticed a police car in front of a shop.
当我沿着公路行走时,我注意到一家商店门口停着一辆警车。
如果表示两个短时间动作或事件同时发生,最常用as(just as)。
e. g. As I sat down on the chair, he gave me a cup of tea. 就在我在椅子上坐下时,他给了我一杯茶。
(2)when和while意为“当……时候”,when可以表示时间点,也可以表示一段时间,谓语动词是终止性和延续性动词都可。而while只表示“在某一段时间里”,因此它引导的句子中的动词必须是延续性的。
e. g. While(When) we were in Beijing, we saw him twice. 我们在北京的时候,看到过他两次。
When the clock struck twelve, all the lights went out.(不能用while)当钟声敲响12点时,所有的灯都熄灭了。
【友情提示】while还可用作并列连词,表对比,意为“而,然而”,when也可作并列连词,表示“恰在此时,
就在这时候”,as引导时间状语从句时还可表示“随着”。
I like P. E. , while she likes music. 我喜欢体育,而她喜欢音乐。
I was about to leave when the phone rang. 我刚要离开,这时电话铃响了。
As the time went on, his theory proved to be true. 随着时间流逝,他的理论证明是正确的。
6. It had returned in the darkness when the citizens were celebrating inside.
return=come back,go back意为“回来,回去”。return还可作“归还”讲,等于give back,所以return不能与back相连。
e. g. Your mother will return in a moment. 你的母亲一会儿就回来,
Do not forget to return my key. 不要忘记还我的钥匙。
7. Now the army entered the city.
Enter=come into,go into意为“进入”,所以enter不能与into相连。
e. g. When the teacher entered the classroom, the students stopped talking. 当老师走进教室时,学生们停止说话。
8. Then the Trojans made sure all the gates of the city were securely locked, and they all went to sleep, including the gate guards.
make sure表示“确信”,go to sleep表示“入睡,睡着”,注意:including在本句中是介词用法。
e. g. All animals including men feed on plants or other animals.
包括人类在内的所有动物都以植物或其他动物为食。
I’ve got three days, holiday including New Year’s Day. 包括元旦在内我有三天假。
9. For ten years, they could not capture the city by fighting.
by在这里解释为“通过”,后跟名词或动名词。

e. g. My wallet was stolen by a thief. 我的钱包被一个小偷偷了。
