現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)是由“am/is/are+現(xiàn)在分詞”構(gòu)成的,在運(yùn)用過程中注意不要把助動(dòng)詞be漏掉。
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)有以下四種典型用法:
一、表示說話時(shí)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或所處的狀態(tài)。
——What are you doing? 你在干什么?
——I’m writing a letter to my friend Chuck. 我正在給朋友夏克寫信。
Listen, she is singing in the next room. 聽!她正在隔壁唱歌!
Look, they are playing soccer on the playground. 瞧!他們正在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)踢足球!
二、表示現(xiàn)階段正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或所處的狀態(tài),常與表示現(xiàn)階段意義的時(shí)間狀語now(目前), this week, this term, this year連用,而說話時(shí)不一定正在進(jìn)行。
She is working in a company now. 目前她在一家公司工作。
This year Mr Wang is writing a new play for children. 今年王先生在創(chuàng)作一部新的兒童劇。
三、表示根據(jù)現(xiàn)在的計(jì)劃或安排,在最近將要發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。這些動(dòng)詞常見的有g(shù)o, come, leave, arrive, have, start, stay等。
Bob is coming with me to the airport. 鮑勃將同我一起到機(jī)場(chǎng)來。
How long are you staying in Xi’an? 你們將在西安呆多久?
George is leaving for New York on Sunday. 喬治將于星期天動(dòng)身到紐約。
四、現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)與副詞always, often, constantly(經(jīng)常地,不斷地), forever(永遠(yuǎn); 不斷), continually(不斷地, 頻繁地)等連用明顯含有感情色彩,表示說話人的贊嘆、滿意、討厭、抱怨、不耐煩等語氣。
She’s always working hard like that. 她總是那樣勤奮地工作。(贊揚(yáng)的語氣)
區(qū)別:She always works hard like that. 她總是那樣勤奮地工作。(僅說明情況)
They are always fighting. 他們總是打架。(厭惡的語氣)
He’s constantly asking me for money. 他不斷地向我要錢。(抱怨的語氣)
注意:下列情況下不能用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí):
1. 表示思想情感活動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞,如understand, love, believe, know, want, remember等常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示主語所處的狀態(tài)。
I think you are right. 我認(rèn)為你是正確的。
I understand what you mean. 我明白你的意思。
We love our great motherland. 我們熱愛我們偉大的祖國(guó)。
2. 表示感覺的動(dòng)詞,如see, hear, find, taste, smell, sound等常用一般時(shí)態(tài)表示主語的一種無意識(shí)行為,有時(shí)可以與情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can連用表示現(xiàn)在正在進(jìn)行的情況。
I can hear a funny noise. 我聽見一個(gè)奇怪的聲音。
I (can) smell something burning. 我聞到有東西燒焦了。
I can see a woman doing housework in the flat opposite.
我看見一位婦女在對(duì)面房間里干活。
巧記現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)用法口訣:
主語在句首,
am, is, are跟后,
現(xiàn)在分詞跟著走,
其他成分不可丟。
表示動(dòng)作正進(jìn)行,
句中now時(shí)間定。
一般問句這樣變,
把be提到主語前。
否定句式也簡(jiǎn)單,
be后再把not添。
