第十章 动词的时态
思维导图
知识梳理
在英语中,不同时间里以不同方式发生的动作或存在的状态,要用不同的动词形式来表示,动词的这种不同形式称为动词的时态.
英语的时态从时间上划分,可以分为现在时、过去时、将来时和过去将来时;从行为方式上划分,每一类又可以分为一般式、进行式、完成式和完成进行式.这样,英语动词合起来共有16种时态.现以动词work为例,将16种时态形式列表如下:
现在时 过去时 将来时 过去将来时
一般式 work works worked shall work will Should work should
进行式 am are working is was working were shall be working will should be working would
完成式 has worked have had worked shall have worked will should have worked would
完成进 行式 have been working has had been working shall have been working will should have been working would
这些时态中常用的有:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时以及过去将来时8种.
一、一般现在时

(三)现在完成时的用法
1.表示过去已经开始,持续到现在(也许还会继续进行下去)的动作或状态;常和表示一段时间的状语,如:today, these days, since, for, this month, now等连用

1.表示短暂性的动词不能与表示一段时间的状语连用这类动词常见的有:appear, begin, borrow, buy, close, come, die, fall, find, finish, join, kill, leave, lend, sell, start, stop等.
2.现在完成时不能和明确指出过去时间的状语连用,但可以和不明确指出时间的状语连用,也可以和包括现在在内的时间状语连用明确指出过去的时间状语:如yesterday, last week, in 1999,two days ago, just now, when I came in不明确指出时间的状语:如already, yet, sometimes, always, often, just, before, never, ever, lately, once包括现在在内的时间状语:如this morning, today, this week, this year
(五)have(has) been和 have(has)gone的区别
表示“曾到过某地”要用“have(has)been”;表示“已经去某地”要用“have(has) gone”.试比较:

Where has he gone 他上哪儿去了 (他现在不在这里)
They have been to Beijing.他们到过北京.(现在已不在北京了)
They have gone to Beijing.他们到北京去了.(他们可能在去北京的路上,或者已到北京)
(六)现在完成时与一般过去时在意义上的区别
现在完成时表示过去发生的某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果,强调的是现在的情况.因此,它不能和表示过去的时间状语连用,如:yesterday, last night, three weeks ago, in 2000等.而一般过去时只表示过去的动作或状态,和现在不发生关系,它可以和表示过去的时间状语连用.试比较:
I have seen him.我已见过他了.(我了解他的情况)
I saw him yesterday.我昨天看到他的.(只说明昨天我看到他,并不涉及现在的情况)
I have been ill for a week.我已病了一周了.(现在还在生病)
I was ill for a week.我病了一周.(过去病了一周)
(七)延续性动词与非延续性动词的用法
1.现在完成时表示动作从过去某个时候开始一直持续到现在,与一段时间连用时应注意句中的谓语动词应是延续性动词,非延续性动词在肯定句中不可和一段时间连用
我离开这所学校已经八年了.
误:I've left this school for eight years.
正:I've been away from this school for eight years.
他借用我的词典已两天了.
误:He has borrowed my dictionary for two days.
正:He has kept my dictionary for two days.
不过,在否定句中非延续性动词可与一段时间连用.
I haven't gone to see him for several months.我已经好几个月没去看他了.
2.非延续性动词与一段时间连用时可采用下列两种方法
(1)将非延续性动词转化为延续性动词.
buy→ have borrow→ keep
open→ be open close→ be closed
begin/start→ be on come→ be here
go→ be there finish→ be over
die→ be dead catch a cold→ have a cold
put on→ wear get up→ be up
wake up→ be awake fall asleep→ be asleep

简单回答 I(you) I(you) Yes, he(she, it) had No, he(she, it) had not/hadn’d we(you, they) we(you, they)
(二)过去完成时的用法

(三)用一般过去时代替过去完成时的情况

When he entered the office, he heard the telephone ringing.他一进入办公室,就听到电话铃响了.
2.由连词before, after, as soon as等引导的从句,由于连词本身意义已经说明主句和从句两个动作先后发生的关系,因此,两个动作都可以用一般过去时

I telephoned you as soon as I got home.我一到家,就给你打了电话.
