现在完成时态 (Present perfect tense)
现在完成时的逻辑是“过去发生,影响现在”,基本形式是“have/has + 过去分词”。
用have还是has取决于前面的主语。主语是第三人称单数,用has;主语是其他人称,用have。
其否定形式为“haven’t/hasn’t + 过去分词”。
现在完成时的常见用法
1. 现在完成时表示影响或结果
2. 现在完成时表示持续
3. 现在完成时表示重复动作
现在完成时的常见用法
1. 现在完成时表示影响或结果
现在完成时跨在两个时间之上,一是过去,一是现在。它的动作发生在过去,但对现在有影响或结果,而这种影响或结果却往往是说话人的兴趣所在,所以常常后面不用时间状语。
例句:Someone has broken the window.
有人把窗户打破了。
Have you ever seen the sea?
你看见过大海吗?
过去发生
影响现在
2. 现在完成时表示持续
现在完成时常用来表示持续的动作或状态。这种表示持续动作或状态的动词多是无限动词,如: live、 study、 teach、 be、 wait等。现在完成时表示持续的动作或状态时,常和since或for引导的短语连用。
例句:I have lived here for more than ten years.
我已在这里住了十多年。
I have been here since last October.
从去年十月起,我一直在这里。
3. 现在完成时表示重复动作
现在完成时可以表示过去重复的动作,常与always、 often、 many times、 every day等连用。
例句: My father has always gone to work by bike.
我父亲一向骑车上班。
— How often have you seen her?
你见过她多少次了?
— Oh, hundreds of times.
噢,上百次了。
现在完成时的常见搭配
1. 现在完成时与时间状语连用
2. 现在完成时与since连用
3. 现在完成时与一般过去时的

现在完成时的常见搭配
1. 现在完成时与时间状语连用

例句:The rain has stopped now. 雨终于停了。
Have you seen John today?
你今天见过约翰吗?
注意:现在完成时通常不可和具体的表示过去的时间状语连用,如: just now、
a minute ago、 yesterday、 last year等,但可以和 just、 recently、 before、
never、 so far等笼统地表示过去的时间状语连用。

短语或从句连用。
