英语学习中常见的几种时态介绍

英语学习中常见的几种时态介绍中，常见的有一般现在时、现在进行时、一般将来时、一般过去时、过去进行时、现在完成时和一般过去将来时等时态，是我们在学习过程中必须掌握的。

掌握好这几种时态，对于学习英语的同学是大有益处的，在变换句式时经常要运用。

现我把学习过程中经常遇见的13种时态整理如下,供学习参考：一、一般现在时（The Indefinite Present Tense）.一般现在时表示经常性的或习惯性的动作、特征或状态。

常见的一般现在时主要有以下三种句式：1.肯定句式。

一般现在时肯定句式主要由动词原形表示，第三人称单数的谓语动词后要加词尾-s或-es。

动词be根据主语不同的人称有不同的形式，第一人称单数中动词be用am，第一人称复数、第二人称单数和复数以及第三人称复数中动词be用are的形式，第三人称单数中动词be用is，动词have在主语是第三人称单数中变为has，其余情况均用原形have。

如：She is a worker.They are worker.He has a bike.We have a bike.I am the king of the world.2.疑问句式。

一般现在时变为疑问句时，一般在句首加助动词do或does的方式构成，第三人称单数时用does，其余情况都用do，主要动词一概不变，用原形；在以have或has为主要动词的句子中，可以直接将动词have或has提前放于句首，也可以在句首加动词do或does构成，have或has一律用原形have。

如：Do you work?Does he work?Has she a cake?Does she have a cake?其简略回答形式用“Yes+主语+动词”或“No+主语+动词+not”。

如：Yes, I do.No, he does not.Yes, she hasNo, she has not.3.否定句式。

一般现在时的否定句式在动词前加do/does not的形式构成。

高中英语语法全英详解无水印

高中英语语法全英详解无水印IMB standardization office【IMB 5AB- IMBK 08- IMB 2C】必修一语法点一：Be+表将来 use the present continuous tense for future plans In English, we have lots of ways of talking about the future. The most common ways of talking about the future we encounter use ‘will’ or ‘be going to’ followed by an infinitive （动词原形）, and we tend to use ‘be going to’ most often for talking about future plans.Sometimes, we also use the present continuous tense to talk about future plans.Ex. ①we are going to Mexico next Sunday.② Are you coming to the cinema?③ He is leaving for London in two hours.④ We are spending next winter in Australia.Only some verbs can be used in this situation, such as: go, arrive, come, leave, start, stay, return, play, have, work, wear, spend, see, meet, etc.扩展：What’s the difference between using ‘be going to’ and the present continuous to talk about future plans Let’s look at some more examples:“I’m going to play football on Saturday”You have made a plan in your head but possibly not taken any real action to confirm it. Also, playing football on Saturday is probably not a regular event for you.“I’m playing football on Saturday”You have made a plan and taken some real action to confirm it . called your friends or booked a place to play). In this case, it’s likely that playing football on Saturdays is a common activity for you.语法点二：Direct speech and indirect speech(直接引语和间接引语)Let's first define the terms, then look at how to talk about what someone said, and how to convert speech from direct to indirect or vice-versa.You can answer the question What did he say? in two ways:by repeating the words spoken (direct speech)by reporting the words spoken (indirect or reported speech).Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between quotation marks (" ") and there is no change in these words.Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Quotation marks are not used.1、declarative sentence陈述句①Change in pronoun: The pronoun (subject) of the reported speech is changed according to the pronoun of reporting verb or object (person) of reporting verb (first part of sentence). Sometimes the pronoun may not change.In following example the pronoun of reported speech is “I” which will be ch anged in indirect speech into the pronoun (Subject) of reporting verb that is “he”.He said, “I like it very much.”→He said that he liked it very much.②Change in tense: If the first part of sentence (reporting verb part) belongs to past tense the tense of reported speech will change. If the first part of sentence (reporting verb part) belongs to present or future tense, the tense of reported speech will not change.③Change in demonstrative pronoun指示代词, temporal adverbial时间状语, adverbial of place地点状语 and verbs.Ps：(1)if the direct speech indicates objective truth, then there is no change in tense when it’s converted to indirect speech.Ex. He said, “Light travels much faster than sound.”→He said that light travels much faster than sound.(2) 如果在当地转述，here不必改成there，come不必改为go，如果在当天转述，yesterday, tomorrow等时间状语也不必改变。
