语法精讲——现在完成时
一、现在完成时的定义
现在完成时表示过去到现在一段时间内完成某一动作;或者做完的一件事对现在造成的影响。
二、现在完成时的构成
基础形式:have+过去分词(规则+ed/不规则变化)
1. 肯定句
现在完成时的肯定句式是 “have(has)+过去分词”。
注意:该句式中的have或has是助动词,has用于第三人称单数,其它人称一律用have。
例:
I have done my homework until today.
我到今天已经写完作业了。
She has finish this paper during half an hour.
他已经在半小时内完成了这份试卷。
2. 否定句:
现在完成时的否定句式是“haven’t(hasn’t)+过去分词”。
例:
I haven`t(have not) done my homework until today.
我到今天还写完作业了。
She hasn`t(has not) finish this paper during half an hour.
他在半小时内还没完成这份试卷。
3. 疑问句:
现在完成时的一般疑问句式是把助动词have或has提到主语之前。
回答用Yes, …have(has)./ No, …haven’t(hasn’t).
例:
Have you done your homework until today?
你到今天已经写完作业了吗?
Has she finish this paper during half an hour?
她在半小时内完成这份试卷了么?
三、现在完成时的用法
1.表示从过去到现在一个时间段内的内容。
完成时表示时间段有三个要素:
1) 开始的时间点: 一般用since(自从)表示。
2) 持续一段时间:一般用for+时间段/during+时间段表示
3) 结束的时间点:一般用yet/so far/by now(至今;到现在)表示。
另外,完成时的形式常译为“已经做…”。因此,句子中含有already(已经/早已)时,时态也一般为完成时。
例:
We have known each other since 1997.
我们自从1997年相互认识。
Have you had lunch yet
你(已经)吃午饭了吗?
I haven’t seen her for four years.
我有四年没见到她了。
I have seen this film already.
我早已看过这个电影了。
2. 现在完成时也表示过去的动作对主语目前产生的影响。即用过去发生的某个行为产生了现在的一个或好或坏的结果。这也是针对完成时的影响的用法,在同步以及中考中常考的一种方式。一件事对现在产生影响,那么在表达上会比一件没有影响的事多一句话,来专门表达动作或者事件所产生的影响。总结来说:如果一个时态题是两句话且表达的是同一件事,那么事件那一句用现在完成时。
例:
I have had lunch so I don`t fell hungry now.
我已经吃过午饭所以现在我不饿。
She has slept for ten hours so she is not sleepy at all.
她已经睡了十个小时,所以现在她一点也不困。
四、现在完成时与一般过去时的比较
1)一般过去时表示过去单纯存在的动作或事情;现在完成时强调过去的事情对现在的影响。
例:
I saw this film yesterday.
我昨天看了这部电影。(强调看的动作发生过了。)
I have seen this film.
我看过这部电影了。(强调对现在的影响,电影的内容已经知道了。)
2)现在完成时可表示持续到现在的动作或状态,动词一般是延续性的,如:live;teach;learn; work;study;know等;
一般过去时常用非持续性动词有come, go, leave, start, die, finish, become等。
例:
She joined the League three years ago.
她三年前入团了。(加入的动作不是延续的)
She has been in the League for three years (since three years ago).
她入团三年了。(在团内的状态,可延续)
She has been a League member for three years (since three years ago).
她入团三年了。(是团员的状态,可持续)
五、非延续性动词和延续性动词的转换
现在完成时所应用的动作必须为延续性动作。但是,像come, arrive, buy等终止性动词不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。要用,必须将其改为相应的延续性动词或者状态来表述。现归纳总结一下由非延续性动词到延续性动词的转换:
arrive(到达) → be here(在这里)
begin(start) (开始) → be on(开始的状态)
die(死) →be dead(死了的状态)
leave(离开) →be away(离开的状态)
open/turn on(打开)→be open/be (turned) on(打开的状态)
close/turn off(关闭)→be closed/be (turned) off(关闭的状态)
borrow/lend(借)→keep(保管)
buy(买)→have(拥有)
marry(结婚)→be married(结了婚的状态)
例:
His father has been dead for two years.
他父亲去世两年了。
The film has been on for ten minutes.
电影已开始十分钟了。
We have studied English for three years.
我们(开始)学英语已三年了。
I have had this book for a year.
我买这本书已经一年了。
She has been married to her husband for twelve years.
她已经和她丈夫结婚十几年了。
六、have/has gone to;have/has been to的区别
have/has gone to:已经去了或在途中,还未返回;
have/has been to:曾经去过某地,现在已经回来了,后面可接表示“次数”的状语;
例:
He has gone to the bookshop to buy some books.
他已经去书店买书了。
Jack has been to Shanghai twice. Jack
Jack去过上海两次了。

句式精讲
1. Have you at least read the back of the book to see what it's about
至少你已经读过书的背面,了解了它的大致内容了吧
此句中的动词see表示“(通过查看、打听等)弄清、了解;查看、发现(信息或事实)”。作这种用法时,see常接how, what, when等引导的宾语从句。
例:
He agreed to go with me to see what was wrong.
他同意跟我去了解一下毛病出在哪里。
First of all, we need to take some time to see how it works.
首先,我们需要花些时间了解一下它是如何运作的。
2. The book report is due in two weeks. 读书报告两周后必须交。
此处due为形容词,意思是“预定;预期;预计”,后边引出预期的时间、地点等,还常常构成短语be due (to do something)或be due (for something)。
例:
Our plane is due at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 12:30.
我们的飞机预计于12:30降落在上海虹桥国际机场。
Rose is due to start school in January.
罗丝一月份就要开始上学了。
You are due for a medical examination next month.
你的身体检查预定在下个月(必须完成)。
3. The Toms must be popular. 汤姆乐队一定很受欢迎。
1)此处the Toms是一个虚构的音乐团队的名称,可能是由若干个名叫Tom的男子所组成(或起主要作用)的乐队。英语中“the +姓或名的复数形式”这一结构可用来表示某一群体,如表示某一姓氏的家庭,或同名的某几个人所组成的小群体。
例:
the Greens(格林一家,相当于the Green family),
the Jacks(杰克小组;杰克社团;杰克帮)
2)此句中情态动词must的意思是“一定;准是”,而非“必须”。作这一用法时,must表示推测,暗含很大的可能性。
例:
They must be there by now.
他们现在准到那儿了。
4. the “good old days”过去的好时光
英语中the good old days是一个习惯用语,指一个人人生中或历史上的一段比现在更好的幸福时光,可译作“过去的好日子”。
例:
I wish my grandma would stop talking about the good old days.
我真希望我奶奶能停止唠叨那过去的好时光。
In the good old days, going to a movie only cost 5 cents.
在当初的好日子里,去看一场电影只要5分钱就够了。
5. I hope to see him sing live one day! 我希望有一天看到他现场演唱!
1) see someone do something是一个常见的结构,表示“看见某人做某事”。英语中有一些表示感知的动词,如see(看)、watch(观看)、feel( 感觉)、hear(听到)、listen to(听). smell(嗅)等用于主动态时,后面可以接名词(或代词)+不带to的不定式(或-ing形式)。
例:
I watched them get on the bus one by one, and then we waved goodbye to eachother.
我看着他们一个个上了公共汽车,然后我们相互挥手道别。
2)live可用作动词、形容词或副词,且用作不同词性时发音有所不同。作动词时,表示“居住;生存;过生活”等含义。在上面的句子中,live为副词,意思是“在现场直播;在现场表演”。
例:
Lang Lang is playing live in our city tonight.
郎朗今晚在我们城市举办现场演奏。

Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌) in the world, Levi Strauss & Co. is the inventor of blue denim jeans. Here’s how it happened.
In the mid-1800s many people went to California to look for gold. A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business. He sold canvas(帆布) to the workers for tents. But the workers said they needed pants more, because their pants were easy to wear out. Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making, he turned them into pants. These kinds of pants were very popular with workers. He was very happy and named the kind of pants “denims”. And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss & Co.
Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets. During the working, Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets(铆钉) in the jeans for strength.
On May 20,1873, they received the U. S. Patent No. 139,121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of “blue jeans”.
Today the company still has its factories in San Francisco, California. Over 11,000 people work in them and bring in over $4 billion a year.
1. Levi Strauss went to San, Francisco _______.
A. to look for gold B. to sell canvas
C. to visit his brother D. to help his brother on business
2. The workers often complained _______.
A. the canvas was not good B. the work was too hard
C. they couldn’t get enough food D. their pants were not strong enough
3. The underlined word “developed” may mean “______” in Chinese.
A. 研制 B. 想象 C. 了解 D. 确定
4. The blue denim jeans have about _______ years of history.

A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And ducks' feet could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks' feet at once and said, "Whose is that bag " Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, "I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn't be taken out of the country.” "Well, then," said the small man with a fat stomach. "Hurry up and take it. We want to go home.” The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.
At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, "I hope they'll enjoy the ducks' feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it.” Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紫紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. "I have the rest of the two ducks here," he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, "Hey, man! Foreign food mustn't be brought in."
