大学英语动词的时态

  导语:英语动词的时态有哪些?下面是YJBYS小编整理的大学英语动词的时态,欢迎参考!

大学英语动词的时态

  (一)英汉两种语言在时态表达方式上的差异:

  英语的词类与汉语的不同。汉语词类形态稳定,比如“书”这个字,“一本书”、“三本书”都一样,没有词形变化。英语就不同了,book, books仅从词形上就能知道是单数还是复数。

  动词是英语中变化最多、最复杂的词类。有人说,学好英语就是学好动词,此言甚是。同一个动作或状态分别在不同时间发生或存在,表达这个动作或状态的动词就要用不同的形式,这就是时态。

  例如:在“中国是个伟大的国家。”和“中国曾经是世界上最伟大的国家。”这两句话当中,汉语的“是”没有变化,而是用“曾经”这个词来表达时间的不同。

  China is a great country.中国是个伟大的国家。

  China was the greatest country in the world.中国曾经是世界上最伟大的国家。

  在这几句中,动词be的形态变了,表示的时间变了,但意义没有变化。

  再如,“他经常帮助我。”“他昨天帮助我了。”和“他一直在帮助我。”这三句话当中,汉语的“帮助”没有任何变化,而是用“经常”、“一直”和“昨天”分别表达出时间的区别。英语就不同,它必须用动词本身的形态变化来完成任务。

  He often helps me.他经常帮助我。

  He helped me yesterday.他昨天帮助我了。

  He has been helping me.他一直在帮助我。

  在这几句中,动词help的形态变了,表示的时间变了,但意义没有变化。

  (二)英语动词的形式:

  英语的时态是通过动词的变化来体现的。因此,了解动词的形式及其变化规律非常重要。英语的实义动词有以下五种形式:

  (1) 动词原形:动词原形在句子中形式不变。主要用于主语为非第三人称单数的一般现在时,情态动词之后,或根据语法规定必须用动词原形的其他情况。

  (2) 一般现在时第三人称单数形式(简称现单三):主要用于主语为第三人称单数的一般现在时。

  (3) 过去式:主要用于一般过去时。

  (4) 现在分词:主要用于进行时态,或语法规定的其他情况。

  (5) 过去分词:主要用于完成时态,或语法规定的其他情况。

  这里提到的“语法规定的其他情况”我们在以后的讲座中会详细介绍。

  下面把这些动词形式的构成说明一下。

  动词一般现在时第三人称单数(现单三)的构成,见下表:

  词尾变化(规律与名词变复数相同,读音也与名词复数相同) 举例

  一般加-s Help---helps; read---reads

  在ch, sh, s, x 或元音字母o后面加-es Do, fix, pass, push, teach ---does, fixes, passes, pushes, teaches

  以辅音字母加y结尾的词,变y为i再加-es Try, study --- tries, stuides

  与名词变复数形式相同,读音也相同。

  动词过去式和过去分词,大多数是动词原形+ ed 构成,这是规则动词。规则动词的拼写和读音规则如下表:

  词尾变化 举例 词尾读音

  动词后面加-ed Help---helped Work---worked

  Watch---watched 清辅音之后读[t]

  Want---wanted need---needed [t] ,[d]之后读[t]

  Turn---turned play--played 元音和浊辅音([d]除外)之后读[d]

  以不发音的“e”结尾的词,加-d Love---loved

  Serve---served

  结尾是辅音字母+y时,y变i,再加-ed Study---studied

  Try---tried

  结尾只有一个辅音字母的重读闭音节词,双写辅音字母再加-ed Stop---stopped

  Drop---dropped 清辅音之后读[t]

  不规则动词的过去式和过去分词有其特殊变化形式,需要个别记忆,同时也要善于发现不规则中的规则,即某些字母组合的不规则动词有一定的规律。如:weep→wept, sleep→slept, sweep→swept

  现在分词一律由动词原形加-ing构成,规则如下表:

  词尾变化 举例

  一般加-ing Look---looking, try---trying

  以不发音的e结尾的词,去掉e,再加-ing Write---writing, dance---dancing

  以一个辅音字母(x除外)词尾的重读闭音节词,先双写词尾的辅音字母,再加-ing Begin---beginning, swim---swimming,

  Run---running, sit---sitting

  以-ie结尾的词,变ie为y,再加-ing Die---dying, lie---lying

  为了学习的方便,人们把时间分为四个阶段:“现在、过去、将来、过去将来”。英语动词所表示的动作在以上每个时间段中分别有四种状态:一般、进行、完成和完成进行。因此我们便有了四四一十六个时态。

  不同的时态有不同的变化形式。以do 为例,列表如下:

  时态 一般 进行 完成 完成进行

  现在时 Does; do Am/is/are+doing Has/have+done Has/have+been doing

  过去时 Did Was/were+doing Had done Had been doing

  将来时 Shall/will+do Shall/will be +doing Shall/will have + done Shall/will+have been doing

  过去将来时 Should/would/+do Would/should+be doing Should/would + have done Would/should + have been doing

  “时态”就是通过动词的形态变化,来表达动作发生的时间(现在、过去、将来、过去将来)及所处的状态(一般、进行、完成、完成进行)。

  比如在“They are doing their exercises.”这个句子中,动词由原形do 变成are doing 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于正在进行的状态当中,所以叫现在进行时;

  在“They have done their exercises.”这句中,动词由原形do 变成have done的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于完成的状态,所以叫现在完成时;

  在“They always do their exercises.”中,动词用原形do 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并且是一般情况下永远如此,所以叫一般现在时。

  在这三句话中,动词do 虽然用了不同的形态,其意义没有变化,而是事情发生的时间和状态变了。其余类推。

  16个时态中,常用的有12个:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、过去将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、将来进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时、将来完成时、现在完成进行时和过去完成进行时。其他时态很少单独使用。

  3、现在完成时

  (1)构成:现在完成时由助动词have + 过去分词构成,助动词have 有人称和数的变化。第三人称单数用has,其余用have.

  现在完成时的否定式直接在助动词后面加上not、疑问式是把助动词提到主语之前。以study 为例,其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:

  否定式 疑问式

  I have not (haven’t) studied…. Have I studied…?

  You have not (haven’t) studied…. Have you studied…?

  He has not (hasn’t) studied…. Has he studied…?

  否定疑问式 简单回答(肯定/否定)

  Has he not (Hasn’t he) studied…? Yes, he has. No, he hasn’t.

  (2)用法:

  1)现在完成时通常表示在说话之前已经完成的动作或存在的状态。说话人强调的是该动作或状态对现在的结果或影响。而一般过去时也表示动作已经完成,但强调的是过去发生了某一动作这样一个事实。有的同学觉得这种说法比较难以理解,因为任何过去的动作对现在都有影响,很难判断用一般过去时或现在完成时。事实上,这种说法没有把现在完成时与一般过去时的根本区别说清楚。如果没有说明动作发生的具体时间,则一般用现在完成时;如果说明了动作发生的具体时间,带有表示过去的时间状语,则用一般过去时。例如:

  My daughter has just gone out. 我女儿刚出去。

  I’m sure we’ve met before. 我肯定我们以前见过面。

  She has arrived. 她到了。

  2)表示持续到现在的动作或状态,往往和包括现在在内的表示一段时间的状语连用,如today, these days, recently, now, lately, for…, since…, in the last/past two weeks/years/days/months, just 等。如:

  I haven’t heard from her these days. 这些日子我没有收到她的信。

  We haven’t seen you recently. 最近我们没有见到你。

  They have been away for two years. 他们离开已经两年了。

  She has been with us since Monday.

  她从星期一就一直和我们在一起。

  注意:

  1)表示短暂意义的动词如open, go, come, die, arrive, leave, lose, fall等,在完成时当中不能和包括现在在内的表示一段时间的状语连用,因为它们表示的动作不可能持续。因此,不能说:

  ×He has come here for 2 weeks.

  ×The old man has died for 4 months.

  ×They have left only for 5 minutes.

  以上三句话可以改为:

  It’s two weeks since he came here. He has been here for 2 weeks.

  It’s 4 months since the old man died.

  They have been away only for 5 minutes

  2)have (has) been 和have (has) gone的区别:表示“曾到过某地”要用 “have (has) been”; 表示“已经去某地”要用 “have (has) gone”。试比较:

  Where has he been? 他刚才到哪里去了?(已经回来了)

  Where has he gone? 他上哪儿去了?(人不在)

  They have been to Canada. 他们到过加拿大。(现在已经不在加拿大)

  They have gone to Canada. 他们到加拿大去了。(可能在路上和已经到加拿大).

  3)现在完成时不能和明确指出时间的状语,如yesterday, last year, in 1976, two days ago, just now, when I came in 等连用, 但可以和不明确指出时间的状语,如already, yet, sometimes, always, often, before, lately, recently, once, twice, ever, never等连用。例如:

  She has already come. 她已经来了。

  I haven’t read it yet. 我还没读过这个。

  I have met him before. 我从前曾见过他。

  Ma Hong has always been a good student. 马红一直是个好学生。

  I have often seen him in the street. 我经常在街上看见他。

  They have never been to Yan’an. 他们从未去过延安。

  I haven't seen him lately. 我近来没看到他。

  They have already answered our letter.

  2)自去年以来我就未遇见过王英。

  I haven’t met Wang Ying since last year.

  3)他刚把他的名字告诉我。

  4)你到过杭州吗? 到过。我一个月以前去过那里。我去过两三次。

  Have you ever been to Hangzhou? Yes, I have. I went there a month ago. I have been there two or three times.

  5)他在海外住了很长时间了。

  He has lived abroad for a very long time.

  4、现在完成进行时

  (1)构成:第三人称单数由has been + 动词的现在分词;其他人称和数由have been + 动词的现在分词。

  (2)用法:

  1)表示动作从过去开始一直延续到现在,可能刚刚终止,也可能仍然在进行。

  I’ve been waiting for you since eight o’clock in the morning. 我从早上8点钟一直在等你。

  It has been raining for three hours. 雨一直下了三个小时了。

  What book have you been reading recently? 最近你一直在读什么书?

  2)有些动词不能用于现在进行时,如be, have, like, love, know, see, hear等,这些词同样也不能用于现在完成进行时。如:

  I haven’t seen you for ages. 我好久没见到你了。

  I have loved her for a long time. 我一直爱她。

  I have known him for a long time. 我认识他很久了。

  3)现在完成时表示到现在为止已经完成的动作,强调结果;而现在完成进行时强调动作的持续性,强调“一直”,往往表示动作仍未结束。如:

  I have been reading this novel. 我一直在读这本小说。(我仍然在读)

  I have read two novels. 我已读过两本小说。(可能刚读过,也可能很久以前读的)

  I have been writing letters. 我一直都在写信。

  Now we have cleaned the room, we can move the things in. 既然我们已经打扫完房间,我们可以把东西搬进来了。

  5、一般过去时

  (1)构成:一般过去时通常由动词过去式表示。一般过去时的否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式要用助动词do 的过去式did, 同时注意实义动词要用原形。以study 为例,其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:

  否定式 疑问式

  I did not (didn’t) study…. Did I study…?

  You did not (didn’t) study…. Did you study…?

  Did he not (Didn’t he) study…? Yes, he did. No, he didn’t.

  (2)用法:一般过去时动词主要表示过去某一时刻或某一段时间内发生的动作或情况,其中包括习惯性动作,通常与表示过去的时间状语连用。

  The train arrived ten minutes ago. 火车十分钟前就到了。

  Li Hong lived in Shanghai for ten years when she was young. 李红小时候在上海住过十年。(有的同学认为出现了for some time 之类的时间状语,就要用完成时态。这种看法不完全正确。如果指的是在过去某事持续了一段时间,就要用一般过去时)

  注意:在动词用一般过去时的句子里通常有时间状语,表明动作发生的时间。如该句中没有时间状语,那么上下文中一定有表明过去的时间状语或可以体现“动作或情况发生在过去”这一概念。

  翻译练习:

  1)他昨天晚上离开这里到上海去了。

  He left for Shanghai yesterday evening.

  (2)用法:表示一直持续到过去某个时间的行为动作,此行为动作或刚结束、或还没结束(可以从上下文看出)。这一时态经常与一般过去时一起使用。例如:

  When he came in, I had been trying to repair the TV for a couple of hours. 他进来的时候,我一直在努力修理电视机好几个小时了

  The roads were dangerous. It had been raining for two whole days. 道路很危险。雨一直下了两整天。

  The boy was delighted with the new mountain bike. He had been hoping for one for a long time. 那男孩得到一辆新山地自行车很高兴。很长时间来他一直希望有一辆。

  9、一般将来时

  一般将来时动词表示将来发生的动作或情况。主要有以下几种表现形式:

  (1)shall/will + 动词原形

  表示单纯的将来,不涉及主语的主观意愿。第一人称I, we用shall 或will,其余用will. 其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:

  否定式 疑问式

  I shall/will not study…. Shall I study…?

  You will not study…. Will you study…?

  He will not study…. Will he study…?

  否定疑问式 简单回答(肯定/否定)

  Shall I not (shan’t i) study…? Yes, you will. No, you won’t.

  Will you not (Won’t you) study…? Yes, I shall/will. No, I shan’t/won’t.

  Will he not (Won’t he) study….? Yes, he will. No, he won’t.

  例如:

  I shall be twenty years old next year. 我明年二十岁。

  The sky is black. I think it will rain. 天黑下来了。我想可能会下雨。

  You will meet him at the station this afternoon. 你下午会在车站碰到他。

  The train will arrive soon. 火车快要到了。

  When shall we see you next time? 我们下次什么时候能看见你呢?

  He probably won’t go with us. 他大概不能和我们一起去。

  注意:

  1)shall, will的缩写形式为’ll, 如I’ll, you’ll, he’ll 和she’ll等。

  2)will 用于第一人称时,可以表示将来的意愿、决心、允诺、命令等;shall用于第二、三人称时,可以表示说话人的将来的意愿。例如:

  I will give you a new pen for your birthday. 我将送你一支新钢笔作为生日礼物。(允诺)

  I will take the college entrance examination. 我将参加大学入学考试。(决心)

  Shall I open the window? 我打开窗户好吗?(征求允诺)

  You shall have the book as soon as I get it. 我一拿到书就给你。(说话人的允诺)

  The enemy shall not pass. 决不让敌人通过。(说话人的保证)

  I will do my best to help you. 我愿意尽力帮助你。(意愿)

  Nobody shall be late for the meeting. 任何人开会都不能迟到。(说话人的命令)

  (2)be going + 动词不定式

  1)这种结构表示主体现在打算在最近或将来要做某事。这种打算往往是事先考虑好的。例如:

  My brother is going to learn English next year. 我哥哥准备明年学英语。

  I am going to meet Tom at the station at six. 我六点钟要到火车站去接汤姆。

  She is not going to be there. 她不会到那儿去的。

  When are you going to finish your work? 你的工作什么时候做完?

  He is going to stay a week. 他准备呆一星期。

  We are going to call a meeting to discuss it. 我们准备开个会来讨论一下。

  2)这种结构还可以表示说话人根据已有的迹象认为非常可能即将发生某事。例如:

  Look at these black clouds?it is going to rain. 看这些乌云?要下雨了。

  I think it is going to snow. 我看要下雪。

  I am afraid I am going to have a bad cold. 恐怕我要得重感冒。

  注意:

  1)will 和be going to 都可以表示某种意愿。例如:

  I won’t (am not going to) tell you my age. 我不(愿意)告诉你我的年龄。

  be going to 和will在含义和用法上略有不同。Be going to往往表示事先经过考虑的打算;will多表示意愿,决心。有时不能互换。例如:

  I have bought some bricks and I am going to build a kitchen with them.我买了些砖,我要用它们盖个厨房。(不能用will替换)

  Can somebody help me? ?I will. 谁能帮我一些吗?―?我来。(不能用be going to替换)

  2)be going to 可用于条件从句,表示单纯的将来;will则不能。例如:

  If you are going to go to the cinema this evening, you’d better take your umbrella with you. 你若今晚去看电影,最好带着雨伞。

  (3)be to + 动词原形,表示安排、命令或肯定将会发生的事情;在问句中表示征求意见。如:

  You are not to smoke in this room. 你不许在这个房间里抽烟。

  In future you are not to go out alone. 将来你不许一个人出去。

  The worst is still to come. 最糟糕的还在后面呢。

  Tomorrow is still to come. 明天过了还有明天。

  (4)be about + 动词不定式。这种结构表示正要、即将发生的事情。例如:

  Let’s go in. The class is about to begin. 咱们进去吧。马上开始上课了。

  They are about to get married. 他们即将结婚。

  My book is about to be published. 我的书即将出版。

  一般将来时的关键是记住表示将来的几种句型及其用法。

  练习:

  用be going to 或will.填空:

  1)What are you doing with that spade? ?I ___ (plant) some trees. (am going to plant)

  2)This is a terribly heavy box. ?I ___ (help) you carry it. (will help)

  3) I’ve left my watch upstairs. ?I ___ (go) and get it for you. (will go)

  4) Who will post this letter for me? ?I ____. (will)

  5) She has bought a length of cloth; she ____ (make) herself a dress. (is going to make)

  10、将来进行时

  (1)构成:shall/will be + 现在分词

  (2)用法:将来进行时动词表示在将来某一段时间内将会发生的动作。

  This time next week we shall be working in that factory. 下星期这时候,我们将在那个工厂劳动。

  When I get up tomorrow morning, my mother will be getting breakfast for me. 当我明天早晨起床时,我妈妈将在为我准备早饭。

  I will be seeing him next month. 我下个月将要见他。

  Tomorrow we will be going to the village fair. 我们明天去赶集。

  We will be taking our holiday at the seaside in July. 七月份我们要去海边度假。

  一般将来时与将来进行时都表示将来,那么如何区别一般将来时和将来进行时呢?将来进行时不表示个人意愿,强调主观上感觉某事即将发生,并对这一事情有着期待,感情色彩较浓,强调动作。一般将来时主要是对某一事情即将发生做一个事实性的说明或陈述,强调事实或意愿。

  翻译下列句子:

  1)下月这个时候,我们将呆在南京了。

  This time next month we shall be staying in Nanjing.

  2)在今天下午的会议上,你们讨论这个计划吗?

  Will you be discussing the plan at the meeting this afternoon?

  Will you be seeing my brother?

  4)下学期你教我们吗?

  5)你来的时候,我们将在开会。

  When you come we shall be having a meeting.

  6)下周这个时候,我们将在考试。

  This time next week we shall be taking our exams.

  11、过去将来时

  (1) 由should/would + 动词原形构成。第一人称用should; 第二、三人称用would。美国英语所有人称一律用would. should/would 的简略形式为’d, 如I’d, you’d; would not 和should not的简略形式分别为wouldn’t 和shouldn’t.

  (2)过去将来时表示从过去某时间看将要发生的事情,多用在宾语从句中。还可以表示过去的倾向或过去经常发生的事情。如:

  They asked me if I would go to Guangzhou soon. 他们问我是否很快要去广州。

  She told me she would come again next week. 她和我说她下周还来。

  I told him to leave immediately, but he wouldn’t. 我告诉他马上离开,但他不。

  When I was in college, I would find a part-time job during the summer holidays every year to earn my tuition. 我上大学的时候,每年暑假都找份临时工挣学费。

  (3)其他表示过去将来时的结构:

  I told her I was going to see her that afternoon. 我告诉她我那天下午要去看她。

  I was sure (that) they were going to do that. 我确信他们要做那件事。

  2)were/was to + 动词原形,表示安排,命令或后来将要发生的事。如:

  He didn’t know he was to become famous later on. 他不知道以后他会出名。

  He waited until she was about to leave. 他一直等到她即将离开。

  12、将来完成时

  By seven o’clock this afternoon we shall have got to Shanghai if the train keeps good line. 如果火车运行正常,我们今天下午七点就到上海了。

  Before bedtime Xiao Ming will have completed his work. 到上床睡觉的时候,小明会做完他的工作(或作业)。

  By Sept. 2008 Beijing will have held/hosted the Olympic Games. 到2008年9月,北京将举行完了奥运会。

  翻译练习:

  1)七月份你们再来时,他们就搬进新房子里去了。

  When you come again in July, they will have moved into a new house.
