The Present Continuous Tense 现在进行时
22、 现在进行时最容易出现错误的地方在动词的现在分词形式,我们在复习的时候要特别注意不规则动词的变化形式。 例如:swimming,beginning,putting,taking,buying, taking是take的ing形式,以e结尾要去e加ing. 动词现在分词动词现在分词由动词原形在词尾加ing构成,其规则如下:(1)一般情况下直接加 think-thinking sleep-sleeping study-studying speak-speaking (2)以不发音的字母e结尾的单词,去掉字母e,再加 ing wake-waking make-making come-coming t

26、, all the while等表持续的时间状语连用,通常表示说话者认为过去不良的习惯。如:They were always quarrelling. 他们老是吵嘴。My little brother was continually asking questions.我弟弟老是问东问西的。(3). 过去进行时用法2注意a. 常与过去进行时连用的时间状语有:at that time当时at five yesterday昨天五点then那时 this time yesterday昨天这个时候the whole morning整个上午last night昨晚b. 表示礼貌有时过去进行时并不表示过去的

38、 library.玛丽去图书馆了。(现在还没回来)Mary has been to Hong Kong.玛丽去过香港。(现在已经回来)(4). 现在完成时与一般过去时的区别a. 一 般过去时所表示的一个或一段过去时间,是可以具体确定的,与其他时间没有牵连;它所表示的事情纯屑过去,与现在情况没有关系。现在完成时所表示的事情发生 在不能具体指出的过去某个或某段时间,它所表示的事情与现在情况有关系,是过去发生的事情对现在产生的结果或对现在的影响,或一直持续着。Did you go to Canada last year?你去年去加拿大了吗?(表示去年发生的行为)Have you been to Ca
