一、动词时态
动词时态是表示谓语动词的动作或状态发生的时间和方式。有四种不同的时间(现在、过去、将来、过去将来)和四种不同的方式(一般、进行、完成、完成进行),每一种时间、方式就构成一种时态。英语动词共有16种时态,按《大纲》要求,考生应掌握以下12种时态的构成及其用法。
一般式 | 完成式 | 进行式 | 完成进行式 |
一般现在时 does/do | 现在完成时 have/has done | 现在进行时 am/is/are doing | 现在完成进行时 have/has been doing |
一般过去时 did | 过去完成时 had done | 过去进行时 was/were doing | 过去完成进行时 had been doing |
一般将来时 will do | 将来完成时 will have done | 将来进行时 will be doing | 将来完成进行时 will have been doing |
过去将来时 would do | 过去将来完成时 would have done | 过去将来进行时 would be doing | 过去将来完成进行时 would have been doing |
