英語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)
1． 一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的形式
是以動(dòng)詞的原形表示的,當(dāng)主語(yǔ)為第三人稱單數(shù)時(shí),做謂語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞原形后要加上詞尾-s or -es, 其構(gòu)成方式列表如下：
情況 構(gòu)成 例詞
一般情況 詞尾加-s Reads, writes
以ch,sh,s,x,o結(jié)尾的詞 詞尾加-es Teaches,washes,guesses, fixes, goes
以輔音字母+Y 結(jié)尾的詞 變Y為I,再加-es Tries, carries
但是,動(dòng)詞to be 和to have 的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的形式特殊如下：
一般動(dòng)詞的詞形變化 To be 的詞形變化 To have 的詞形變化

一般過(guò)去時(shí)
一般過(guò)去時(shí)是表示在說(shuō)話時(shí)間以前發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或者狀態(tài)的動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài),它是英語(yǔ)時(shí)態(tài)體系中最重要的時(shí)態(tài)之一.
1) 一般過(guò)去時(shí)規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的構(gòu)成形式：
規(guī)則動(dòng)詞在其原形后面加-ed:
to work-worked
以字母e結(jié)尾的規(guī)則動(dòng)詞,只加-d:
to love---loved
對(duì)所有人稱均無(wú)詞形變化.
否定式均由did not + 動(dòng)詞原形構(gòu)成
I / you / he / she / they / we did not work.
疑問(wèn)式均由 did + 主語(yǔ) + 動(dòng)詞原形 構(gòu)成
拼寫注意：
情況 變化 例詞
動(dòng)詞為單音節(jié),以一個(gè)元音字母和一個(gè)輔音字母結(jié)尾 輔音字母雙寫,再加-ed Stop-stoppedAdmit-admitted
以y結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞,在y 前為輔音字母時(shí) Y 變?yōu)?I ,加 - ed Carry -carriedHurry -hurried
以y 結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞,在y 前為元音字母時(shí) 加-ed Obey-obeyedEnjoy---enjoyed
在英語(yǔ)當(dāng)中有一部分動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式變化形式是不規(guī)則的,這類動(dòng)詞被稱為不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞.總數(shù)大概不過(guò)200多個(gè),但是使用頻率很高.主要分成三類：
1》 第一類不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的三種形式同形,如：
cost cost cost
cut cut cut
hurt hurt hurt
shut shut shut
set set set
注意,有些動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式與過(guò)去分詞有兩中形式,如：
bet bet / betted bet / betted
wed wed / wedded wed / wedded
wet wet / wetted wet / wetted
2》 第二類不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式和過(guò)去分詞同形,如：
bend bent bent
bring brought brought
catch caught caught
hide hid hid / hidden
get got got/ gotten(AmE)
lead led led
3》 第三類不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的原形、過(guò)去式和過(guò)去分詞都不相同,如：
原形 過(guò)去式 過(guò)去分詞
begin began begun
break broke broken
forbid forbade forbidden
grow grew grown
ring rang rung
wake woke / waked woken / waked
此外還有少數(shù)不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞與原形相同,如：

run ran run
一般過(guò)去時(shí)的功用
1） 表示一個(gè)沒(méi)指明具體時(shí)間的過(guò)去的行動(dòng),如：
He worked in that bank for four years. (沒(méi)說(shuō)明起始時(shí)間,但是現(xiàn)在不在那里工作了).

They never drank wine.
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的形式
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)由to have 的現(xiàn)在時(shí)+過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成：
肯定式 否定式 疑問(wèn)式 否定疑問(wèn)式
I have worked I have not worked Have I worked? Have I not worked?
You have worked You havenot worked Have you worked? Have you not worked?
He (she)has worked. He(she)has not worked. Has he(she) worked? Has he(she) not worked?
We(you / they) have worked. We (you / they) have not worked. Have we (you / they) worked? Have we (you / they) not worked?
緊縮形式
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的功用
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)可以說(shuō)成是兼有現(xiàn)在與過(guò)去意義的一種復(fù)合時(shí)態(tài).它與現(xiàn)在有密切聯(lián)系,如：
------Oh,dear, I’ve forgotten her name.
和現(xiàn)在的聯(lián)系就是 I don’t remember her name now.
------Fort has gone to Canada.
和現(xiàn)在的聯(lián)系就是 He is not here. He is in Canada now.
1) 表示延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動(dòng)作 （有時(shí)是總計(jì)做了多少次等）.

3) 表示過(guò)去的動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在造成的影響,如：

7）與since 連用,since 表示與某一時(shí)刻或從句連用,表示“從那一刻到說(shuō)話時(shí)為止”,它總是與完成時(shí)連用,如：

一般過(guò)去時(shí)與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的比較
1） 過(guò)去時(shí)僅僅表示過(guò)去,現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)還表示與現(xiàn)在的關(guān)系,如：
He has lost his key.
He lost his key.
2) 與現(xiàn)在無(wú)關(guān)的或者過(guò)去很久的歷史事件不能用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)
The Chinese invented printing.
Shakespear wrote Hamlet.
3)如果說(shuō)明動(dòng)作有特定的過(guò)去時(shí)間,就不能用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),如：
Did you see the film on television last night?
Tom lost his key yesterday.
詢問(wèn)某事發(fā)生的具體時(shí)間或者地點(diǎn)時(shí)（when , what time, where）, when , what time, where）, 用一般過(guò)去時(shí),如：

比較：

Did you see Ann this morning? ( 說(shuō)話時(shí)為下午)
Jack has lived in London for six years. 還在倫敦住
Jack lived in London for six years. 先不住倫敦了
I have never played golf in my life.

現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)是由助動(dòng)詞to be 的現(xiàn)在時(shí) + 現(xiàn)在分詞構(gòu)成：
肯定式 否定式 疑問(wèn)式
I am working.You are working.He (she) is working.We (you,they) are working. I am not working.You are not working.He (she) is not working.We (you,they) are not working. Am I working?Are you working?Is he (she) working?Are we (you,they) working?
現(xiàn)在分詞的構(gòu)成,是在動(dòng)詞原形上加-ing, 但是應(yīng)該注意：
情況 變化 例詞
動(dòng)詞以單個(gè)e 結(jié)尾 去掉e, 加 ing Love _lovingArgue _ arguing
動(dòng)詞以 -ee結(jié)尾 直接加 ing Agree_ agreeingSee _ seeing
動(dòng)詞為單音節(jié)：以單一元音字母 + 單一輔音字母結(jié)尾 輔音字母雙寫,再加 ing Hit _ hittingRun _runningStop _ stopping
動(dòng)詞為雙音節(jié)或者多音節(jié)：最后一個(gè)音節(jié)為重讀音節(jié),以單一元音字母 + 單一輔音字母結(jié)尾 輔音字母雙寫,再加 ing Be’gin be’ginningAd’mit ad’mitting
以 y 結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞 直接加 ing Carry carryingEnjoy enjoying
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的功用
1） 表示說(shuō)話時(shí)正在發(fā)生或者進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作
Please don’t make so much noise, I’m studying.
Let’s get out. It isn’t raining any more.
2) 表示在現(xiàn)在相對(duì)較長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間內(nèi)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,但是說(shuō)話一刻不一定在做的動(dòng)作
Have you heard about Tom? He is building his own house.
David is teaching English and learning Chinese in Beijing.
這些動(dòng)作,在說(shuō)話時(shí)并不一定在發(fā)生或進(jìn)行,而是在包括說(shuō)話的一剎那在內(nèi)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)生、進(jìn)行的.
3）表示最近的確定的安排
Ann is coming tomorrow.
Oh, is she? What time is she arriving?
At 10:15.
Are you meeting her at the station?
I can’t. I’m working tomorrow morning.
以上句子也可以用be going to (do) 的形式來(lái)表示.但是談?wù)撘汛_定的安排時(shí)候,用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)顯得更加自然,除非受到動(dòng)詞的功能的限制.在此,切不可用will, 如：
Alex is getting married next month. 不能用 will get married.
4) 和always 連用表示某種情緒,可能是厭煩也可能是贊揚(yáng),如：
Tom is always going away for weekends.
My husband is always doing homework.
有些動(dòng)詞是表示一種狀態(tài)而不是動(dòng)作,一般不用于進(jìn)行時(shí).例如,我們一般不說(shuō) I am knowing, 而說(shuō) I know. 常見(jiàn)的這類動(dòng)詞有：
want like hate know see hear believe understand seem
think(相信) suppose remember need love realize mean forget prefer have （擁有）belong
To understand is to accept. 理解就是接受
Do you like Beijing?
Do you see the rainbow?
I remember him very well.
I think I understand what he wants.
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的比較
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示的是一般、重復(fù)的動(dòng)作或者事情
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示說(shuō)話時(shí)或說(shuō)話前后正在發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或事情,如：
Tom plays tennis every Sunday.
Where’s Tom? -------He is playing tennis.
What do you do? 你是干什么工作的?
What are you doing here? 你在這里干什么?
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)是表示經(jīng)久的情況,而現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示的是暫時(shí)的,如：
My parents live in Shanghai. They have been there for 50 years.
She’s living with some friends until she can find an apartment.
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的構(gòu)成形式為：
I / he /she was
We / they / you were + 動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的功用
1） 表示在過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間后者某段時(shí)間正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,如：
When I rang him up, he was having dinner.
This time last year I was living in Shanghai.
What were you doing at 10 o’clock last night?
2) 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí)連用,表示在一個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生的過(guò)程中,發(fā)生了另一個(gè)動(dòng)作,如：
It was raining when I got up.
I fell asleep when I was watching television.
3) 過(guò)去一般時(shí)所說(shuō)明的動(dòng)作是已經(jīng)完成的,而過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)不表示正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作一定會(huì)完成,如：
Tom was cooking the dinner.
Tom cooked the dinner.
現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)
其構(gòu)成形式如下：
I / we / they have
He / she / it has been + 動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞
功用如下：
1） 表示一個(gè)在過(guò)去開始而在最近剛剛結(jié)束的行動(dòng),如：
Ann is very tired. She has been working hard.
Why are you clothes so dirty? What have you been doing?
2) 表示一個(gè)從過(guò)去開始但仍在進(jìn)行的行動(dòng),如：
It has been raining for two hours. (現(xiàn)在還在下)

3) 表示一個(gè)從過(guò)去開始延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在,可以包括現(xiàn)在在內(nèi)的一個(gè)階段內(nèi),重復(fù)發(fā)生的行動(dòng),如：
She has been playing tennis since she was eight.
4) 現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作行為的結(jié)果、影響,而現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)只強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作行為本身,如：
Tom’s hands are very dirty. He has been repairing the car.
The car is going again now. Tom has repaired it.
