We always care for each
14、other and help each other.3. 表示知觉、态度、感情、某种抽象的关系或概念的词常用一般现在时。如：see, hear, smell, feel, notice, agree, believe, like, hate, want, think, belong, seem等。如：I know what you mean.注意：（1）在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，常用一般现在时代替将来时。但要注意由if引导的条件状语从句中可以用shall或will表“意愿”，但不表示时态。如：If you will wait for a moment, Ill tell Mr. Blac
15、k youve come.（2）少数用于表示起止的动词如come, go, leave, arrive, fly, return, start, begin, pen, close, end, stop等常用一般现在时代替将来时，表示按规定、计划或安排要发生的动作。如： The shop closes at 9:00 p.m. every day. 二、现在进行时现在进行时除表示现在( 指说话人说话时) 或现阶段正在发生的事情，还有以下用法： 1. 表示长期的或重复性的动作，说话时动作未必正在进行。如：。Mr. Green is writing another novel. (说话时并未在写，
16、只处于写作的状态。)2.表示按计划、安排要发生的动作。如：Are you meeting them when you arrive there?3. 与always, constantly, forever 等词连用，表示反复发生的动作或持续存在的状态，往往带有说话人的感情色彩。如： You are always following me. 三、现在完成时：通常使用现在完成时的几种情况： (1)表示动作发生在过去某时刻并已结束，但该动作影响到现在，与现在情况具有因果关系。如： The disappearance of Justin has made Kelly very unhappy.(2)
17、 表示动作开始于过去某一时刻，一直延续到现在，刚刚结束，或可能还要继续下去。如： John has lived in Beijing since he was born.注意：（1）since作连词，它引导的从句谓语动词若为瞬间动词，主句的时间则从这一“时刻”算起。如：He has lived here since he lefts his hometown. 若从句为延续性或状态性动词，主句时间则从其动作结束“那点”算起。如：It is there years since he was a singer. (2) 介词for构成的短语，表示时间的长度，后跟一段时间，不能跟时间点。如：He has studied English for five years.瞬间动词不能与表示一段时间的介词for连用，但它的否定式可与介词for连用。如：I have not received her letter for two months.
