四、【语法点拨】 一般过去时和现在完成时的区别
两种时态意义上的区别
1.现在完成时与一般过去时容易混淆,就是因为它们所表示的动作都发生在过去。但一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生了某事、存在某种状态或经常发生的动作,说话的侧重点在于陈述一件过去的事情,与现在没有关系;现在完成时则侧重强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响,也就是用一个过去的动作来描述现在的情况,此时动作发生的时间地点都不是谈论的重点。如:
Jim lost his key on his way to school this morning.吉姆今天早晨在上学的路上丢掉了钥匙。
此句为一般过去时,主要强调丢钥匙的动作发生在过去,至于后来吉姆是否找到了钥匙不强调。
Jim has lost his key. 吉姆的钥匙丢了。
此句用现在完成时,表示吉姆丢了钥匙这件事对现在的影响,即钥匙还没找到,吉姆没办法开门。
2. 现在完成时还可表达某动作从过去到现在进行了多长时间;一般过去时只能告诉我们这件事是过去什么时候发生的。如: Li Lei began to learn English two years ago.李磊两年前开始学英语。
此句强调李磊两年前开始学习英语,现在是否学不知道。
Li Lei has learned English for two years.李磊学英语已经两年了。
此句强调李磊两年前开始学习英语,现在还在学。
3. 现在完成时还可以表达某人做过某事几次了,这也是一般过去时不能表达的。如:
I have seen the film three times.这部电影我看过三次了。
两种时态时间状语上的区别
一般过去时常和表示过去的时间状语连用,如:yesterday,last week,the other day,two years ago等。
现在完成时不和表示过去的时间状语连用,它常用的时间状语有already,yet,ever,never,just,recently,so far,until now,since two days ago,for two months,in the past/last few years等。如:
I received a letter from my friend last week.我上个礼拜收到了我朋友的来信。
He has already finished his work.他已经完成了他的工作。
