  一般现在时和一般过去时是英语中最基本的时态,也是学习其他时态的基础。因此我们有必要探讨分析这两种时态的用法,以便更好地掌握并运用。
  [一般现在时]
  一般现在时通常表示现在经常发生的或习惯性的动作或目前的状态。一般现在时常与often, always, usually, sometimes, seldom, every day, on Saturdays, once a week, twice a year, four times a day 等时间状语连用,这些时间状语可看作是该时态的标志。例如:
  She sometimes talks with foreigners in Japanese. 她有时用日语和外国人交谈。
  He goes to the cinema once a month. 他每月看一次电影。
  1.构成:
  一般现在时主要有两种形式:
  (1)动词be型:
  be 指is, am, are,我们要会区别运用:我(I)用am 你(you)用are, is 连着他(he)她(she)它(it)。单数名词用is,复数名词全用are。例如:
  I am from England. Are you from England, too? 我来自英国,你也来自英国吗?
  Her pencil sharpener is blue. 她的铅笔刀是蓝色的。
  These girl students are all 16. 这些女生都16岁了。
  (2)实义动词型:
  一般谓语动词用原形,主语是单数第三人称时,用第三人称单数形式,即谓语动词加-s/-es。例如:
  I often go to bed at 11 o’clock. 我经常在11点睡觉。
  Jack studies in a famous middle school. 杰克在一所有名的中学学习。
  2.句式:
  (1)动词be:
  变否定,很容易,后加not 就可以;变疑问,要知晓,一提二改三问号。
  注释:肯定句改写为否定句时,就在be后面加上not;改为一般疑问句时,把be提到句首,改为大写,句尾加上问号。例如:
  They are Chinese.
  → They aren’t Chinese.
  → Are they Chinese?
  肯定回答与否定回答:Yes, they are./No, they aren’t.
  (2)谓语动词是行为动词时:
  改疑问,变否定,do 或does 就要用。改疑问,一添二改三问号;变否定,don’t, doesn’t 动前添。 注释:肯定句改写为疑问句时,句首添上do 或does(用于单三),动词改为原形,句尾加上问号;改为否定句时,在动词前面加上don’t 或doesn’t(用于单三),动词改为原形。例如:
  Tom does his homework in the afternoon.
  → Tom doesn’t do his homework in the afternoon.
  →Does Tom do his homework in the afternoon?
  肯定回答与否定回答:Yes, he does./No, he doesn’t.
  3.用法:
  (1)一般现在时表示现在经常性或习惯性的动作或状态。例如:
  Mr. Wang usually goes to work on foot. 王先生通常步行上班。
  Do you call your parents every morning? 你每天早晨都给你父母打电话吗?
  (2)一般现在时还可以表示客观事实、规律或普遍真理。例如:
  Many western people don’t like the number 13. 许多西方人不喜欢数字13。
  Four plus two is six. 四加二等于六。
  The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. 太阳从东方升起,从西方落下。
  (3)在时间、方式、让步和条件状语从句中,可用一般现在时表示将要发生的动作。例如:
  I’ll tell you as soon as Li Xiao comes back. 李晓一回来我就告诉你。
  We’ll visit the Great Wall if it is fine tomorrow. 如果明天天气好的话,我们就去登长城。
  (4)在某些以here, there 开头的倒装句中,用一般现在时表示正在发生的动作。例如:
  Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。
  There goes the bell. 铃响了。
  (5)用于格言,警句,文章标题,剧本,图片说明或对故事的转述等。例如:
  Jack throws the ball to John and John catches it. He jumps and casts it into the basket.
  杰克把球扔给约翰,约翰接住球,跳起来把球投进篮里。
  [一般过去时]
  一般过去时表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或存在的状态,还表示过去习惯性、经常性的动作、状态。一般过去时经常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如yesterday(昨天), the day before yesterday(前天), last night(昨天晚上), last week/month/term/spring/year(上周/月/学期/去年春天,去年), three days ago(三天以前), in 2000(在2000年), just now(刚才), at the age of 12(在12岁时), one day(一天), long long ago(很久很久以前), once upon a time(从前)等,也可以用在when, since 等连词引导的从句中。例如:
  Bob went to Shenzhen three weeks ago. 鲍勃三周前去了深圳。
  Children got up early on the morning of June 1. 孩子们在六月一日的早晨起床很早。
  When I was a child, I often went to the park with my father.
  当我还是个孩子的时候,我经常和父亲去公园。
  1.构成:
  一般过去时的谓语动词要用过去式形式。
  动词be 有was, were 两个过去式,was是is, am 的过去式,用于第一、三人称单数;were是are 的过去式,用于第二人称及其他人称的复数。
  实义动词的过去式分两种情况:不规则变化的需要参照不规则动词表,牢固记忆;规则变化的在词尾加-ed,这种变化规则可速记为“直”“去”“双”“改”四字诀:
  (1)一般情况下在动词原形后直接加-ed。例如:
  walk→walked, play→played, work→worked, need→needed
  (2)以不发音的字母e结尾的动词,直接加-d。例如:
  like→liked, live→lived, hope→hoped, change→changed
  (3)以重读闭音节结尾,末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词,要双写词尾的辅音字母再加-ed。例如:
  stop→stopped, drop→dropped, fit→fitted, beg→begged
  (4)以辅音字母+y结尾的动词,先把y改为i,再加-ed。例如:
  study→studied, worry→worried, cry→cried, try→tried
  注意:规则动词过去式的读音也有规律可循:清后/t/,元浊/d/,/t/ /d/ 之后读/id/。
  (1)清辅音结尾的动词后的-ed要读/t/。例如:stopped, worked, finished
  (2)元音或浊辅音结尾的动词后的-ed 要读/d/。例如:studied, called, begged
  (3)/t/ /d/ 结尾的动词后的-ed 要读/id/。例如:started, wanted, needed
  2.句式:
  (1)肯定句:主语+过去式+其它。
  注意:动词be的过去式要正确选用;实义动词过去式没有人称和数的变化。例如:
  George was 14 last year. 乔治去年14岁了。
  Her parents lived in Beijing when she was born. 她出生时她的父母就住在北京了。
  (2)否定句:
  动词be 的否定句:主语+wasn’t/weren’t+其它;
  实义动词的否定句:主语+didn’t+动词原形+其它。
  注意:动词前有didn’t 时,一定要用动词原形。例如上两句可以改为:
  George wasn’t 14 last year.
  Her parents didn’t live in Beijing when she was born.
  (3)疑问句:
  动词be 的一般疑问句:Was/Were+主语+其它?
  实义动词的一般疑问句:Did+主语+动词原形+其它?
  可用此口诀加强记忆:一添(Did)二改(原形)三问号。例如上两句可以改为:
  Was George 14 last year?
  肯定回答与否定回答:Yes, he was./No, he wasn’t.
  Did her parents live in Beijing when she was born?
  肯定回答与否定回答:Yes, they did./No, they didn’t.
  变特殊疑问句时,就是在一般疑问句的前面加上特殊疑问词。例如:
  When was George 14? 乔治什么时候14岁?
  Where did her parents live when she was born? 她出生时她父母住在哪儿?
  3.用法:
  (1)表示过去某一时刻所发生的动作或存在的状态,常与确定的过去时间状语连用,有时也可以不用时间状语。例如:
  I wasn’t in yesterday evening. 昨天晚上我不在家。
  They went home at twelve last Sunday. 上个星期天他们12点回的家。
  What was the final score? 最后的比分怎样?
  注意:一般过去时有时也可与现在关系较为密切的时间状语连用,如today, this morning, this year等。例如:
  Did you see my watch this morning? 今天早晨你看见我的手表了吗?
  一般过去时不与now连用,但可与just now连用。例如:
  Mr Bell called just now telling you not to worry about him.
  贝尔先生刚才打电话来告诉你不要为他担心。
  How did you like her performance? 你觉得她的表演怎么样?
  (2)表示过去经常发生的习惯性动作或状态,常与always, often, sometimes 等表示频度的副词连用。例如:
  We often played soccer after school last term. 上学期我们经常在放学后踢足球。
  She sometimes came to help us at that time. 那时候她有时来帮我们。
  (3)表示在过去所发生的一系列动作。例如:
  Tina got up, washed her teeth, had a quick breakfast and went to work every day half a year ago. 半年前,蒂娜每天都是起床,刷牙,匆忙地吃早饭,然后去上班。
  (4)表示过去预计、安排要发生的事情。例如:
  The old man said the train arrived at 10. 那位老人说火车10点到。
  We learned that Mr. Chen went to the meeting the next day.
  我们听说陈先生第二天去开会。
  (5)表示已逝去的人或事时。例如:
  Qian Xuesen was a great scientist. 钱学森是一位伟大的科学家。
  Lei Feng set a good example to the people throughout the world.
  雷锋为全世界的人们树立了一个好榜样。
  (6)在条件或时间状语从句中,当主句的谓语动词用了过去的某种时态,那么从句中的谓语动词通常要用一般过去时。例如:
  The Smiths were eating lunch when I came in. 当我进来的时候,史密斯一家正在吃午饭。
  I would tell her the bad news if she came back. 如果她回来,我会告诉她这个坏消息的。
  (7)用情态动词的过去时代替现在时表示态度谦虚、客气、委婉、有礼貌。例如:
  Could you lend me some money? 你可以借给我点钱吗?
  Would you like to go out for a walk with me? 你愿意和我出去散步吗?
