基本語法

現(xiàn)在完成時（Ⅲ）

某些動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時可表示從過去某一時間開始并一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作或狀態(tài)。

1. 可以和表示延續(xù)的時間狀語連用，如“for+時間段”“since+過去的時間點”“since+一段時間+ ago”“since+一般過去時的句子”。

I have lived here for 10 years.

=I have lived here since 10 years ago.

我已經(jīng)住在這里10年了。

She has taught us since I came to this school.

自從我來到這所學(xué)校，她就一直教我們。

2. 表示持續(xù)動作或狀態(tài)的動詞多是延續(xù)性動詞。

短暫性動詞 （buy， die， join， finish等） 不能直接與表示一段時間的狀語連用，需要轉(zhuǎn)換為相應(yīng)的延續(xù)性動詞。

buy—have borrow—keep

put on—wear catch a cold—have a cold

get to know—know get to sleep—sleep

begin/start—be on go out—be out

我三年沒有看見他了。

3. 現(xiàn)在完成時和一般過去時的區(qū)別

（1）側(cè)重點不同

現(xiàn)在完成時側(cè)重于過去發(fā)生的某一動作對現(xiàn)在的影響;而一般過去時側(cè)重于某一動作發(fā)生在過去某個時間或某段時間。即現(xiàn)在完成時強(qiáng)調(diào)的是現(xiàn)在的情況，而一般過去時強(qiáng)調(diào)動作發(fā)生在過去。

I have seen the film.

我看過這部電影。（我了解這部電影的內(nèi)容）

I saw the film three days ago.

三天前我看了這部電影。（只說明三天前看了這部電影，不涉及現(xiàn)在的情況）

（2）時間狀語不同

現(xiàn)在完成時可以和already， yet， just， ever， never， before等副詞連用，還可以和“for+時間段”“since+過去的時間點”“since+一段時間+ago”“since+一般過去時的句子”等時間狀語連用;而一般過去時則常與three weeks ago， just now， yesterday， last night等表示過去時間的狀語連用。

The children grow vegetables and take care of animals， but they are not playing “Farmville （開心農(nóng)場）” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries， such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self-reliant （獨(dú)立自主） and develop friendship between children from different countries， we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn， the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest （收成） to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. Its a good way for them to learn to be responsible （有責(zé)任心）.

Pritesh， a student in Grade 8， said， “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves， we dont feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

A parent said happily， “Through farming， they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”

Teenagers dont do enough exercise.? And， although young people still get on well with their friends， some people think teenagers today dont have so many social activities as they did in the past.

What do you think？ How is teenage life better these days？
