二.【重难点分析】
1. 现在完成进行时
构成:
肯定句:主语 + have / has been + doing
否定句:主语+have/has+not+been+doing
一般疑问句:Have/Has+主语+been+doing?
现在完成进行时表达“某一动作从过去开始一直持续到现在,有可能还要持续下去”,现在完成进行时的句子中多用延续性动词,如:live,learn,study,work等。
(1)I have been learning English for ten years. 我学英语已经十年了。
(2)She has been skating for four hours. 到现在为止她滑冰已经有四个小时了。
(3)I have been collecting stamps since I was ten years old. 我从十岁起就一直在集邮。
在这几个句子中,have和has是助动词,疑问形式需把助动词提前,否定形式在have或has后面加not,have not和has not可以分别缩写成haven’t和hasn’t,如:
(1)Have you been doing your homework since this morning? 从今天早晨起你就一直在写作业吧?
(2)Has he been writing the letters to his friend? 他是一直在给他的朋友写信吗?
(3)I haven’t been seeing films for a long time. 我有很长时间没有看电影了。
(表明没有看电影这个动作从过去一直持续到现在,还要继续持续下去。)
2.现在完成进行时与现在完成时的区别:
(1)现在完成时强调动作的完成,而现在完成进行时侧重的是动作的持续进行。
如:
I have read a book about birds. (已经读完)
I have been reading a book about birds.(一直都在读,现在还在读,有可能会继续读下去)
(2)两种时态都有延续性, 但现在完成时往往只说明一个事实,一种影响或结果,无感情色彩;现在完成进行时表示一个动作的延续、重复,有时有一定的感情色彩。
如:
She has been singing all the day. 她都唱了一整天了。(抱怨、厌烦)
