1.一般现在时:
在以as soon as, when, after等引导的时间状语从句中, 或以if, unless等引导的条件状语从句中,通常使用一般现在时态。例如:
I’ll ring you as soon as he comes back.
You’ll succeed if you try your best.
2.现在进行时
有些表示状态和感觉的动词通常无进行时,除非这类动词的词义发生变化。这类动词有:be, love, like, hate, believe, think, feel, seem等。例如:
Do you see anyone over there?
Are you seeing someone off? (see off 意思是“送行”)
现在进行时也可用来给习惯动作加上赞赏或讨厌等感情色彩。例如:
She is always cooking some delicious food for her family.
He is always finding fault with his employees.
3.现在完成时
现在完成时表示目前已完成的动作或刚刚完成的动作, 也可表示从过去某一刻发生,现在仍延续着的动作或情况。此时态强调动作对现在的影响。例如:
The conference has lasted for five days.
He’s just bought an unusual taxi.
1) 当句子中出现表示到现在为止这段时间的状语时,谓语动词一般用现在完成时。此类状语有up to (till) now, so far, these days, this summer, for…(后接一段时间的短语),since…(后接过去某个具体时间)等。例如:
We haven’t seen each other again since we graduated in 1987.
2) 句中谓语动词是用一般过去时还是用现在完成时主要取决于动作是否对现在有影响。例如:
What did she say about it?
I have lived in Beijing for 15 years.
4.一般过去时
1) 一般过去时常与表示过去的时间状语或从句连用,如yesterday, last week, in 1993, at that time, once, during the war, before, a few days
ago, when…等。
2) “used to +动词原形”表示“过去经常”而现在已经停止的习惯动作。例如:
He used to work fourteen hours a day.
3) 另外,注意区别 “used to ”和 “be/get/become used to ”。后者意为“习惯于……”,to为介词,后跟名词或动名词。
