Unit 4
Humour
Lesson 1 (Grammar)
Learning Objectives
PART. 01
Understand the daily study and life of British middle school students by watching videos. Based on your own daily study and life, compare the study and life in Chinese and British schools, and find out the similarities and differences between the two. Talk about your first impression of high school life, and have a preliminary perception of the study and life in the senior high school stage.
Learning Objectives
Identify and use continuous tenses (present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future continuous). Analyze sentences from stories to determine tense functions, complete sentences with appropriate tenses, and apply them in discussions about jokes/humour.
Explore how language (via continuous tenses) shapes humorous narratives. Understand that cultural humour often relies on precise tense usage to convey timing, duration, and context, reflecting how different cultures use language to create and appreciate jokes.
Analyze sentences to distinguish continuous tense types, interpreting their impact on meaning (e.g., duration, completion). In pair work, apply continuous tenses to rewrite or invent jokes, innovating within grammatical and humorous frameworks to personalize content.
Use “grammar-in-context” strategies to master continuous tenses. By independently analyzing tenses, completing writing tasks, and reflecting on joke structures, students take ownership of learning.

Continuous tenses (进行时态)
一、现在完成进行时
1. 构成
由“have/has been +动词的现在分词”构成，第三人称单数用 has，其他人称用 have。
2. 用法
（1）表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，该动作在说话时仍在继续进行，可能还要继续下去，也可能刚刚结束。这个时态常和 recently、all day、this week 等状语或 for、since 引导的时间状语从句连用。
She has been cleaning the house all day. It looks tidy now.
她一整天都在打扫房子。
They have been running in the park for an hour every morning.

②不具有延续意义的动词，如：finish、come、go、marry等不能用于现在完成进行时。
他们已经结婚十年了。
错误：They have been marrying for ten years.
正确：They have been married for ten years.

His eyes were red. It was obvious that he had been working too hard.
他的眼睛红了，显然前一段时间他工作太紧张了。
2. 用法
（1）过去完成进行时所表示的动作与过去的时间的关系，可以用时间状语来表示，也可以通过上下文来表示。
By the end of last month they had been working here for about ten days.
到上个月末为止，他们在这里工作大约有十天了。
When Alice came to life, she did not know how long she had been lying there.
当爱丽丝苏醒时，她不知道她已经在那儿躺了多久。
（2）像 work、study、stay、sing、teach、wait等延续性动词与表示一段时间的时间状语连用时，用过去完成进行时可以表示一个动作一直延续到过去某一时刻，通常强调动作的持续性和不间断性。
