一般過去時
一般過去時是表示在說話時間以前發生的動作或者狀態的動詞時態,它是英語時態體系中最重要的時態之一。
1) 一般過去時規則動詞的構成形式:
規則動詞在其原形後面加-ed:
to work-worked
以字母e結尾的規則動詞,只加-d:
to love---loved
對所有人稱均無詞形變化。
否定式均由did not + 構成
I / you / he / she / they / we did not work.
疑問式均由 did + 主語 + 構成
拼寫注意:
情況 變化 例詞
動詞為單音節,以一個母音字母和一個子音字母結尾 子音字母雙寫,再加-ed Stop-stoppedAdmit-admitted
以y結尾的動詞,在y 前為子音字母時 Y 變為 I ,加 - ed Carry -carriedHurry -hurried
以y 結尾的動詞,在y 前為母音字母時 加-ed Obey-obeyedEnjoy---enjoyed
在英語當中有一部分動詞的過去式變化形式是不規則的,這類動詞被稱為不規則動詞。總數大概不過200多個,但是使用頻率很高。主要分成三類:
1》 第一類不規則動詞的三種形式同形,如:
cost cost cost
cut cut cut
hurt hurt hurt
shut shut shut
set set set
注意,有些動詞的過去式與過去分詞有兩中形式,如:
bet bet / betted bet / betted
wed wed / wedded wed / wedded
wet wet / wetted wet / wetted
2》 第二類不規則動詞的過去式和過去分詞同形,如:
bend bent bent
bring brought brought
catch caught caught
hide hid hid / hidden
get got got/ gotten(AmE)
lead led led
3》 第三類不規則動詞的原形、過去式和過去分詞都不相同,如:
原形 過去式 過去分詞

break broke broken
forbid forbade forbidden
grow grew grown
ring rang rung
wake woke / waked woken / waked
此外還有少數不規則動詞的過去分詞與原形相同,如:
come came come
become became become
run ran run
一般過去時的功用
1) 表示一個沒指明具體時間的過去的行動,如:
He worked in that bank for four years. (沒說明起始時間,但是現在不在那裡工作了)。

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
現在完成時的功用
現在完成時可以說成是兼有現在與過去意義的一種複合時態。它與現在有密切聯絡,如:
------Oh,dear, I’ve forgotten her name.
和現在的聯絡就是 I don’t remember her name now.
------Fort has gone to Canada.
和現在的聯絡就是 He is not here. He is in Canada now.
1) 表示延續到現在的動作 (有時是總計做了多少次等)。
How many times have you been to the United States?
She really loves that film. She has seen it eight times.
Tom has lived in Now York all his life.
2) 表示開始與過去而在說話時刻結束的行動,如:

4) 和最高階連用,表示到現在為止是最……的
What a boring film! It’s the most boring film I’ve ever seen.
Is it a thick book?------Yes, it is the thickest book I’ve ever read.
5) 和句型 This is the first time…, It’s the first time 連用,如:
This is the first time he has driven a car.
(相當於 he has never driven a car before.)
Is this the first time you’ve been in hospital?
Professor Johnson has lost his passport again. It’s the second time he has lost it.
6) 和ever, never, yet, just, already 等副詞連用,如:
Have you ever eaten French cheese?
We have never had a private car.
Has it stopped raining yet? (yet 表示期待雨停止)
Would you like something to eat?
No, thanks. I’ve just had lunch.
Don’t forget to mail the letter, will you?
I’ve already mailed it. (already 表示比預料的要快)
7)與since 連用,since 表示與某一時刻或從句連用,表示“從那一刻到說話時為止”,它總是與完成時連用,如:
She has been here since 6 o’clock.
He hasn’t been himself since the accident. (那次事故後,他從未完全康復)
Since I was a child I have lived in England.
一般過去時與現在完成時的比較
1) 過去時僅僅表示過去,現在完成時還表示與現在的關係,如:
He has lost his key.
He lost his key.
2) 與現在無關的或者過去很久的歷史事件不能用現在完成時
The Chinese invented printing.
Shakespear wrote Hamlet.
3)如果說明動作有特定的過去時間,就不能用現在完成時,如:
Did you see the film on television last night?
Tom lost his key yesterday.
詢問某事發生的具體時間或者地點時(when , what time, where), when , what time, where), 用一般過去時,如:
What time did they arrive?
When and where were you born?
比較:
Have you see Ann this moring? ( 說話時仍為上午)
Did you see Ann this morning? ( 說話時為下午)
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.
I didn’t play golf when I was on holiday last summer.
現在進行時
現在進行時是由助動詞to be 的現在時 + 現在分詞構成:
肯定式 否定式 疑問式
I am
working.You
working.He
working.We
現在分詞的構成,是在動詞原形上加-ing, 但是應該注意:
動詞以單個e 結尾 去掉e, 加 ing Love _lovingArgue _ arguing
動詞以 -ee結尾 直接加 ing Agree_ agreeingSee _ seeing
動詞為單音節:以單一母音字母 + 單一子音字母結尾 子音字母雙寫,再加 ing Hit _ hittingRun _runningStop _ stopping
動詞為雙音節或者多音節:最後一個音節為重讀音節,以單一母音字母 + 單一子音字母結尾 子音字母雙寫,再加 ing Be’gin be’ginningAd’mit ad’mitting
以 y 結尾的動詞 直接加 ing Carry carryingEnjoy enjoying
現在進行時的功用
1) 表示說話時正在發生或者進行的動作

Let’s get out. It isn’t raining any more.
2) 表示在現在相對較長一段時間內正在進行的動作,但是說話一刻不一定在做的動作
Have you heard about Tom? He is building his own house.
David is teaching English and learning Chinese in Beijing.
這些動作,在說話時並不一定在發生或進行,而是在包括說話的一剎那在內的一段時間內發生、進行的。
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) 的形式來表示。但是談論已確定的安排時候,用現在進行時態顯得更加自然,除非受到動詞的功能的限制。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讚揚,如:
Tom is always going away for weekends.
My husband is always doing homework.
有些動詞是表示一種狀態而不是動作,一般不用於進行時。例如,我們一般不說 I am knowing, 而說 I know. 常見的這類動詞有:
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.

Where’s Tom? -------He is playing tennis.
What do you do? 你是幹什麼工作的?

過去進行時的構成形式為:
I / he /she was

2) 過去進行時和一般過去時連用,表示在一個動作發生的過程中,發生了另一個動作,如:
It was raining when I got up.
I fell asleep when I was watching television.
3) 過去一般時所說明的動作是已經完成的,而過去進行時不表示正在進行的動作一定會完成,如:
Tom was cooking the dinner.
Tom cooked the dinner.
現在完成進行時
其構成形式如下:
I / we / they have
He / she / it has been + 動詞的現在分詞
功用如下:
1) 表示一個在過去開始而在最近剛剛結束的行動,如:
Ann is very tired. She has been working hard.
Why are you clothes so dirty? What have you been doing?
2) 表示一個從過去開始但仍在進行的行動,如:
