Grammar: Verb Tenses
动词的时态(一)
英语动词的时态表示两个概念范畴:
1、 时间:即动词的行为或状态是发生在现在、过去或将来,故英语动词有现在时态、过去时态和将来时态。
2、 方式:即动词的行为或状态经常发生、正在发生或者已经发生,故有一般式、进行式或完成式。一般式表示行为或状态经常发生或出现,进行式表示行为或状态正在发生或出现,而完成式则表示行为或状态已经完成或结束。
3、 将二者综合起来,就构成了英语多达十几种时态。写作中要特别注意正确使用:
(1) 一般现在式:现在一般式、过去一般式和将来一般式。一般式表示现在、过去或将来发生或存在的经常性或习惯性的行为或状态,现在一般式还常用来表示特征、状态或普遍真理。一般式常用和always, often, usually, every day, sometimes, twice a week, occasionally 等表示频率的状语连用。
