What caused the fire?
At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fire are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people car elessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.

Questions:
Grammar
现在完成进行时
Grammar
现在完成进行时态所描述的是从过去某一时刻开始的动作,一直持续到现在,也许还将持续下去,也许马上就要结束。既有“完成”的概念,又有“进行”的概念,通常与表示一段时间的状语连用,如:for hours,since 1990等。是一复合时态,属于现在时态范畴。
Grammar
现在完成进行时
1. 构成:have/has been+现在分词
单数 复数
I have You have been working He(She / It) We
You have been working
They
Grammar
现在完成进行时用法
①过去的动作对现在的延续。表示从过去某个时间开始一直延续到现在的动作,这个动作可能仍在进行中,并继续下去,也可能刚刚停止。
时间状语: all the time, all the morning, for two hours, all night, these few days, this week等表示一段时间的状语连用。如果表示某一动作的起点, 可用since引导的短语或从句; 如果表示某一动作的全部时间,可用for引导的短语。
例如:What have you been doing these days 这些天你在干什么
Grammar
②重复的动作表示感彩。有时候,现在完成进行时不是指某动作一直在不停地进行,而是表示一直到说话时为止的一段时间内一再重复的动作,常带有感彩。
例如:He's been watching television the whole day.他看了一天电视了。
现在完成进行时用法
Grammar
现在完成进行时用法
③已结束的动作所产生的影响。有时候,现在完成进行时表示“刚才”或“近来”发生的动作,表示直到说话时为止的一段时间内发生的动作。这一动作到说话时已经结束,而且一般不再继续下去;这种用法主要表示某一动作所产生的结果或对现在的影响。
例如:He's been studying too hard.他工作太辛苦了。(言外之意:He looks too tired.)
Grammar
①这两个时态总的说来是不同的。
现在完成时常常表示动作已经完成,而现在完成进行时却并不如此。
例如:I have read the novel.我已经读过这本小说了。(其含义是:我现在了解小说的内容。)
I am reading the novel now.我在读这本小说。
(其含义是:我现在在干什么,不涉及什么时候开始,什么时候结束。)
I have been reading the novel.我一直在读这本小说。
(其含义是:从过去某一时间开始,我在读这本小说,也许还要读下去,也许马上结束。)
现在完成时和现在完成进行时的比较
Grammar
②另外,有些静态动词只能用于现在完成时,一般不能用于完成进行时,例如下面的句子就不宜改用进行时:
I've known him for several years.我认识他有几年了。
The war has lasted for a long time.这场战争持续了很长时间.
现在完成时和现在完成进行时的比较
Grammar
过去完成进行时
1. 构成:had been+现在分词
Grammar
过去完成进行时用法
表示动作从过去某一时间之前开始,到过去某一时间仍在进行或刚刚结束;同过去完成时一样,过去完成进行时必须以某一特定过去时间为前提。
例如:He had been working here before he went to Shanghai.
他去上海之前,一直在这里工作。
I had been waiting outside for half an hour before she called me in.
在她喊我进去之前,我已经在外面等了半个小时。
Grammar
过去完成进行时与现在完成进行时的比较。
①这个时态和现在完成进行时是很相似的,只不过是把着眼点移到过去罢了。
现在完成进行时(现时观点) (至现时还在进行) 过去完成进行时(过去观点)
(至过去某个时刻还在进行)
He has been working for twenty years. 他至今已工作20 年了.(现在他仍在工作) How long have you been playing football 至今你踢球有多长时间? He had been working for twenty years when heretired.
当他退休时他工作了20年.
I asked them how long they had been playing football.
我问他们踢球多长时间了
Grammar
过去完成进行时与现在完成进行时的比较。
②过去完成时和现在完成时一样,表示动作已经完成;过去完成进行时表示一个一直持续的动作,而这动作未必已经完成:
过去完成时 过去完成进行时
She told me she had written a TV play. 她告诉我她写了一个电视剧。(已完成) He had painted the picture blue. 他把画涂成了蓝色.(已涂好) She said she had been writing a TV play.
她说她一直在写一个电视剧.(可能尚未完成)

由于水蒸气极轻,故常常升入高空。

(一)原因状语从句主要由because, as, since引导

in case,just in case也可引起原因状语从句:
He took a spoonful and tasted it in case it was hot.他盛了一勺,尝尝看烫不烫。

例句:Seeing that it is ten o'clock,we shall not wait for her any longer.
由于现在已经十点钟,我们就不再等她了。
Considering he's only been learning English a year,he speaks it very well.
考虑他学英语才一年,他讲得算是很好了。

She was annoyed that he had broken her vase.
她生气了,因为他把她的花瓶打破了。
She was hurt that I had not gone to her party.
我没去参加她的晚会令她感到不快。
Grammar
1. because表示原因的口气最重,直接表示因果关系,回答why的问题,强调别人未知的事实,而 since, as 引导的原因状语从句一般表示已知的事实,强调引起的后果。
He didn't go to school today because he was ill.
他今天没有去上学是因为生病了。
Since you know you are wrong,you had better admit it.
既然你知道你错了,最好赶快承认。
Grammar
2.强调原因状语从句只能用because从句。

3.for引出的并列句表示原因,常是逻辑推理的原因。
如:The day must have broken, for birds are singing loudly.
天一定亮了,因为鸟儿在大声叫着。
