07_Simple

英语谓语的核心是 auxiliary verb and notional verb，而对助动词和实义动词组合关系的探讨，即是探讨时态问题

1 英文时态体系概述

四时四态

tense:

  • present

  • past

  • future

  • past future

aspect:

  • simple

  • continuous

  • perfect

  • perfect continuous

四时四态构成了 16 种时态

一个万能公式：

Tense(Modal)(Perfect)(Continuous)Verb

PAST or PRESENT

(WILL)

(HAVE+ED)

(BE+ING)

VERB

  • Tense 表示“时”，最基本的两种时：present and past

  • Modal 表示英语谓语中的“情态”，这里以 will 为代表的。tense and modal 就构成了另外两种时：future(will) and past future(would)

  • Perfect 完成体

  • Continuous 进行体

一般时态：零体态 进行时态：进行体 完成时态：完成体 完成进行时态：完成体 + 进行体

2 一般现在时

用法1：expressing a general truth

表述不受时间限制的东西

用法2：expressing a regularly occuring event

比较用法：一般现在时和完成进行时

一般现在时：泛泛的谈时间，并没有时间段的概念 完成进行时：有“到目前为止”的时间段概念

  • I have been winter swimming for about four years.

  • I have been winter swimming since 1984.

用法3：表示正在发生的动作

  1. 用在 there, here 开头的句子中，表示目前短暂的动作

  • Here comes your wife.

  • There goes our bus; we'll have to wait for the next one.

  1. 表示说话时即时发生的动作

  • Michael passes to Clint. Clint to Jack, Jack back to Clint -- and Clint shoots -- and it's a goal!

  • The woman is a spy, now she enters the room, opens the drawer, takes out a pistol and slips it into her pocket.

  • Watch carefully. First I pick up the receiver, dial the number I want, then drop the coin into the slot as required.
