1、英语的时态问题英语的时态可以分为： “时”(time) 和 “体”(aspect)（又称为态）。时是指动作发生的时间，体是指动作发生时的状态。时间与体就象是坐标里的横轴和纵轴，它们的结合交织出了瞬息万变的时空，也构成了英语动词的时态问题。时间分为：过去，现在，将来，过去将来体分为：一般（在某个时间点），进行（延续某个时间段），完成（完成某个时间段）完成进行 （延续某个完成的时间段）如此以来，英语中就有16种时态变化，现在就用动词为write例，看看它们的形式。注意：里面的斜体字部分，由于时态过于复杂，几乎没有人真正去应用它们，可以忽略不记。时间体现在过去将来过去将来一般Write(s)Wrot

6、来的计划，一般不太常用。What will you be doing at 3 oclock tomorrow afternoon?（明天下午三点你将在做什么哪）八 现在完成时表示动作在一个时间“段”的完成，而且这个时间段是从过去某一点延续到现在的。经常跟时间状语 since 1987， for 10 hours , by the last year相连。My brother has been ill for 3 days.I have not seen her since 1991.九 过去完成时在过去的某个时间“段”里动作的完成，从过去的一点再到过去的另一点。或者称为过去的过去。He sa

29、 think, want等动词连用时，表示过去的希望、预期、意图或愿望等没有实现。e.g. I) I had planned to visit you, but I just couldnt find time.II) He had hoped to help you, but he was ill.2. 过去完成时和一般过去时的比较：过去完成时表示过去某一时刻，或某个动作前发生的事，即过去的过去，它着眼于显示过去发生的几个动作的先后。一般过去时只叙述过去某时刻或某时刻后发生的动作，但不强调时间顺序。e.g. I) When he got home, his wife had already

32、g. I) The boy is being difficult. 这男孩正在闹别扭。(可能他平时很听话的。)II) Frank is being a good boy today. 弗兰克今天很乖。（可能他平时并不乖。）八、过去进行时过去进行体和现在进行体的用法相仿，只是时间向过去推移而已。过去进行时表示过去某时或某断时期正在进行的动作。e.g. I) What were you doing when I called?II) What were you doing last night at 10 oclock?九、将来进行时将来进行时表示将来某时或某时期正在进行的动作。e.g. I) I

33、 dont know what my wife will be doing when I return home.II) When I prepare for the college entrance examination (高考), my sister will be taking her vacation (度假) at the seaside.十、现在完成进行时现在完成进行时可以用来表示：1. 表示现在某时刻之前一直在进行着的动作，这个动作可能已经完成，也可能仍在进行。e.g. I) How long has it been raining?II) I have been workin

34、g on my paper for five years.2. 有些延续动词如live, study, teach, work等的现在完成时与现在完成进行时的区别不大，都表示延续一段时间的动作，现在完成时更强调动作的延续性。e.g. I) I have lived here for ten years. = I have been living here for ten years.II) How long have you taught English here? = How long have you been teaching English here?但是，多数延续性动词的现在完成时与

35、现在完成进行时表达的意义有所不同。e.g. He has been writing this morning and has written four letters.十一、过去完成进行时过去完成进行时的主要用法与现在完成进行时的用法相仿，只是时间推移到了过去。e.g. I) They had been waiting for half an hour before the bus came.II) The fire had been burning for over a week.十二、将来完成进行时将来完成进行时将来某时刻前一直进行的动作。e.g. I) By next year he w
