3. 时间状语“for+一段时间”与一般过去时连用
时间状语“for+一段时间”,通常与现在完成时连用,表示到目前为止某动作所持续的时间。例如:
He has worked for that foreign company for__more__than__ten__years.
他已经在那个外国公司里工作十多年了。
(言外之意:目前还是在那个公司工作)
但有时“for+一段时间”与一般过去时连用,表示在过去某动作所持续的一段时间。此时,通常有上下文提示可以表明该动作只是在过去的某段时间内持续,现在已经终止。例如:
(1)Miss. Zhao worked as a teacher for__five__years in her hometown, and now she is an editor in a newspaper. 赵小姐曾经在家乡当过五年老师,如今她是一家报社的编辑。
(worked as a teacher这一动作发生在过去,并且在过去持续了五年,现在已经终止)

4. 表示“刚刚,刚才”发生的过去,使用一般过去时或者过去进行时
过去时是相对于现在时而言的,以“此时此刻”为界限,之前发生的事情都属于过去时态,因此即使是发生在刚刚的过去也应是过去时态。根据句意判定为“刚刚,刚才”,考虑使用一般过去时或者过去进行时。若动词为短暂性动词,且表示“刚刚,刚才”的含义时,动词用一般过去时;若动词为延续性动词,且表示“刚刚,刚才”时,用过去进行时。例如:
(1)—Oh, it's you. I didn't recognize you.
—I've just had my hair cut, and I'm wearing new glasses.
——哦,是你啊,我刚才没认出你来。
——我刚剪了头发,并且还戴了新的眼镜。

(3)—What's your opinion about my suggestion
—Sorry, I wasn't listening. Would you please say that again
——关于我的建议你怎么看?
——抱歉,我刚才没在听,你能不能再说一遍?
5. 一般过去时中有时出现几个连续动作并列的情况,这些动作通常是连续依次发生的
(1)I got up early, washed my face, had a quick breakfast and hurried to school. 我早早起床,洗了脸,快速地吃了早饭,然后匆忙地赶去学校。
(2)Tom was late. He opened the door quietly, moved in and walked carefully to his seat.
汤姆迟到了,他轻轻地打开门,走进来,然后小心地走向他的座位。
但是有些情况下并非是连续动作的并列,我们需要仔细鉴别。
【典题例析】
(1)As the light turned green, I stood for a moment, not ________ (move), and asked myself what I was going to do.
【解析】moving 本题并非stood, moved和asked三个动作的并列,因为这三个动作并非连续的并列动作,实际上本题横线处是一个伴随状语, stood for a moment的时候实际上就是没有动,因此用moving作stood for a moment的伴随状语更为合理。
(2)The moment he got the news, Mr. Mathews hurried out of his house, and ________ (start) his car, drove all the way to town.
【解析】having started 根据题中and的位置关系可知本题并非是三个动作并列,而是hurried和drove的并列。题干中横线处是状语,而且明显和drove存在先后关系,即状语的动作先于后面句子中的谓语动词而发生,因此使用分词的完成式。
1. be going to
第一,指说话之前已计划或思考过的意图和打算。第二,表示客观迹象,表明马上要发生。
(1)I am going to see the doctor tomorrow.
我打算明天去看医生。

(1)Population experts predict that most people will live in cities in the near future.
人口专家预测不远的将来大部分人都将生活在城市里。
(2)It will soon be Christmas and the New Year.
很快就要到圣诞节和新年了。

—Oh, really I didn't know. I will go and visit her.
——安住院了。

4. be to do
