现在进行时——含义
一、表示说话时正在进行或发生的动作。
1、now现在,right now(现在;立刻,马上)at the present现在,at this moment,at the/this moment,for the moment,It’s + 具体点钟,in the next room,over there,here.
例句:It’s raining now.
I’m watching a movie at this moment.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon. The children are playing football on the sports ground.
2、句子中有祈使句。
例句:Hurry up! We are all waiting for you. 快点!我们大家都等着你。 Can’t you see?They are reading over there under the tree. 你看不到吗?他们在那边的树底下看书。 Listen! She is singing in the room. 听!她在房间里唱歌。
3、描述图片中的人物的动作,也为了表达更生动。此时也常用现在进行时。 Look at the picture. The children are flying kites in the park.看这幅图,那些孩子正在公园放风筝。
4、注意根据上下文的情景暗示(翻译成:在,正在) 例句:?— Where is Mr Wang?
—— Oh, he is reading a newspaper in the office ? —Is that boy Jack?
— No,Jack is doing his homework in the classroom. ?——What are you doing? ——I’m doing my homework.
④She_is talking_(talk)with Lily when I meet Lucy in the street. My parents are watching (watch)TV in the living room when I come back. 二、表示表示当前一段时间或现阶段正在进行的动作而说话时不一定在进行的动作。
当句中出现的时间状语是all day,these days,this week,this month,this term 等时,如果句子所要表达的意义是在这一阶段正在发生的事,则动词应用现在进行时。
例句:Mr Cheng is visiting our city this month。 I’m writing a novel these days.
三、有些动词的正在进行时可以用来表示一般将来时,表示根据计划或者安排在最近要进行的事情。表示“将要,计划,打算,意图”
这些动词有:come来,go去, leave离开,depart离开,arrive到达,stay逗留,return,start,begin开始,travel,meet,fly, take off(飞机起飞,另有脱衣服的意思,与put on 意思相反),move,do,get,have,play,spend,work 等动词连用。这些动词往往是一些表示位置移动变化的动词。所用的动词必须是动作而不是状态,主语必须是人。 判定:?句子中常常有表示将来时间的词或者词组,否则表示正在进行时。 例句:The train is leaving.火车正在离开。
The train is leaving in a few minutes.火车几分钟后就要离开了。(“in+一段时间”是一般将来时的标志)
They are leaving for New York tomorrow. 明天他们将要动身前往纽约。
Is your brother departing soon? 你的兄弟很快就要启程吗?
He is coming back from America tomorrow moring.明天上午他将从美国回来。 ?当句子表示”将要,打算”的意思时,需要用正在进行时表示将来时。 After the dinner,I am going(go) to the cinema. 四、在时间、条件状语从句中,有时可用现在进行时代替一般将来时。 例句:When you are passing my way,please drop in. 你什么时候路过我家,请进来坐。
五、 现在分词不都是表示第一种和第二种“正在进行”含义。她可以用来表示人的一
种情感状态。
1、现在进行时与always,forever,continually,constantly等副词连用时(表示重复的动作)表示人一种很大感情。
例句:He's always quarreling with others. 他老喜欢跟别人吵架。
She is constantly worrying about her son's health. 她不停地为她儿子的健康担心着。
The boy is forever asking questions. 那个男孩老是问问题。 The students are making progress constantly.学生们在不断进步。
2、有的现在进行时句子和一般现在时同义。用现在进行时表示问者的关切心情。 例句:How are you feeling today? (How do you feel today?)你今天感觉如何? I am looking (look)forward to your next visit. 我盼望你下次再来。 Why are you looking(do you look)so sad? 为什么你看起来这么愁眉苦脸的样子呢?
六、并不是所有动词都有进行时,一些动词一般在句中不能用现在进行时态,而应用一般现在时。
感官动词:sound听起来,see看到,feel,hear听到,listen,smell闻起来,taste,look(看起来),seem,look like(看起来像),sound like(听起来像)(listen to 有进行时态) 表示喜恶:like(喜欢),love,dislike,hate 思维、态度或者愿望、心理状态等等的词:
know,understand,agree,forget,remember;mind,allow,believe;want,would like,hope,wish
表示所属关系的词:have(有),own,belong to
注意:以上单词表示本意时候,没有进行时态,但是由其组成的词组不一定( 一般情况下,词组表示的意思和该单词表示的意思相同时,这个词组无进行时)。
Look out of ‘看向...的外面’有进行时,be like(长得像)没有,但是look for(寻找) Look after(照顾)有;have 没有,但是have 三餐 ,have a good time有,listen to 有。think,think of,think about都没有。look well(气色不错,一般指康复后) 【这些动词往往是等表示情感状态、知觉认识、愿望或短暂性的动词。】 七、不是只有现在分词才可以表示“正在进行”的含义。
著名学者周海中教授曾经指出:作为表语时,英语介词可以表示正在“进行”的动作。例如:
He is at work.. (他正在工作。) The house is on fire! (房子着火了!)
The road is under construction. (路正在修建中。)
现在进行时——句子结构
一、肯定句式:主语+be( am, is, are)+现在分词+其它. 二、否定句式:主语+be(am, is, are) +not +现在分词+其它. 三、一般疑问句:Be(am, is, are) +主语+现在分词+其它?
肯定回答:yes,主语+be 否定回答:no,主语+be not
四、特殊疑问句:疑问词+be(am, is, are)+主语+现在分词+其它?
它的回答,不可以用Yes或No直接作答,要根据实际情况回答。 例子:肯定句They are working these days. He is buying a bike. 否定句 They aren’t working these days. He isn’t buying a bike. 一般疑问句Are they working these days? Is he buying a bike? 特殊疑问句What are they doing these days? What is he doing ?
