五.语法知识
A.语法:The Present Perfect tense I(现在完成时)
1、构成
have (has)+V.P.P动词过去分词(past participle)
2、用法
1)表示过去发生的动作,并对现在有影响。常于already, yet, just, ever, never before等表示不确定时间的状语连用。也可以和包括现在在内的时间状语如:this morning, today, this year,...等连用。
例如:I have just posted a letter.
The concert has already started.
They haven't finished the work yet.
It has been hot this summer.
2)表示过去已经开始,持续到现在(也许还会继续下去)的动作或状态,如:today, these days, since...for..., now等连用
例如:He has worked here for ten years.
We have known each other since we were children.
They have been in Beijing since 1990.
I haven’t seen him these days.
注意:现在完成时和表示段时间的状语连用是,动词必须是可延续的,不能用表示短暂意义的动词。
例如:She has come back here since a week ago.(wrong)
She has been back here since a week ago.(right)
I have bought the dictionary for two months.(wrong)
I have had the dictionary for two months.(right)
与段时间连用时,常用动词的变化如下:
come-be go-be buy-have borrow-keep begin-be on leave-be away(from) get up-be up die-be dead fall ill-be ill arrive- be become-be join-be a member of.../be in... get to know-know
3) have been(to)指“到过某地”,说话时此人已不在那里(not be here)或已回来(be back), 侧重指经历。
have gone (to)指“已经去了某地”,说话时此人可能在路上,(be on the way,或已在那里,be there),反正不在这里(be not here)。
4)The sample past tense and the present perfect tense 一般过去时与现在完成时
现在完成时表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响和结果,强调的是现在的情况。他不能和表示过去的时间状语连用。而一般过去时只表示过去的动作和状态,和现在不发生关系,常和表示过去的时间状语连用。
