The present tensesMain points* There are four present tenses - present simple (`I walk'), present continuous (`I am walking'), present perfect (`I have walked'), and present perfect continuous (`I have been walking').* All the present tenses are used to refer to a time which includes the present.* Present tenses can also be used for predictions made in the present about future events.1 There are four tenses which begin with a verb in the present tense. They are the present simple, the present continuous, the present perfect, and the present perfect continuous. These are the present tenses.2 The present simple and the present continuous are used with reference to present time. If you are talking about the general present, or about a regular or habitual action, you use the present simple.George lives in Birmingham.They often phone my mother in London.If you are talking about something in the present situation, you use the present continuous.He's playing tennis at the University.I'm cooking the dinner.The present continuous is often used to refer to a temporary situation.She's living in a flat at present.3 You use the present perfect or the present perfect continuous when you are concerned with the present effects of something which happened at a time in the past, or which started in the past but is still continuing.Have you seen the film at the Odeon?We've been waiting here since before two o'clock.4 If you are talking about something which is scheduled or timetabled to happen in the future, you can use the present simple tense.The next train leaves at two fifteen in the morning.It's Tuesday tomorrow.5 If you are talking about something which has been arranged for the future, you can use the present continuous.When you use the present continuous like this, there is nearly always a time adverbial like `tomorrow', `next week', or `later' in the clause.We're going on holiday with my parents this year.The Browns are having a party next week.6 It is only in the main clauses that the choice of tense can be related to a particular time.In subordinate clauses, for example in `if'- clauses, time clauses, and defining relative clauses, present tenses often refer to a future time in relation to the time in the main clause.You can go at five if you have finished.Let's have a drink before we start.We'll save some food for anyone who arrives late.7 The present simple tense normally has no auxiliary verb, but questions and negative sentences are formed with the auxiliary `do'.Do you live round here?Does your husband do most of the cooking?They don't often phone during the week.She doesn't like being late if she can help it.The past tensesMain points* There are four past tenses - past simple (`I walked'), past continuous (`I was walking'), past perfect (`I had walked'), and past perfect continuous (`I had been walking').* All the past tenses are used to refer to past time.* The past tenses are often used as polite forms.*The past tenses have special meanings in conditional clauses and when referring to imaginary situations.1 There are four tenses which begin with a verb in the past tense. They are the past simple, the past continuous, the past perfect, and the past perfect continuous. These are the past tenses. They are used to refer to past time, and also to refer to imaginary situations, and to express politeness.2 The past simple and the past continuous are used with reference to past time. You use the past simple for events which happened in the past.I woke up early and got out of bed.If you are talking about the general past, or about regular or habitual actions in the past, you also use the past simple.She lived just outside London.We often saw his dog sitting outside his house.If you are talking about something which continued to happen before and after a particular time in the past, you use the past continuous.They were sitting in the kitchen, when they heard the explosion.Jack arrived while the children were having their bath.The past continuous is often used to refer to a temporary situation.He was working at home at the time.Bill was using my office until I came back from America.3 You use the past perfect and past perfect continuous tenses when you are talking about the past and you are concerned with something which happened at an earlier time, or which had started at an earlier time but was still continuing.I had heard it was a good film so we decided to go and see it.It was getting late. I had been waiting there since two o'clock.4 You sometimes use a past tense rather than a present tense when you want to be more polite. For example, in the following pairs of sentences, the second one is more polite.Do you want to see me now?Did you want to see me now?I wonder if you can help me.I was wondering if you could help me.5 The past tenses have special meanings in conditional clauses and when referring to hypothetical and imaginary situations, for example after `I wish' or `What if...?'. You usethe past simple and past continuous for something that you think is unlikely to happen.If they saw the mess, they would be very angry.We would tell you if we were selling the house.You use the past perfect and past perfect continuous when you are talking about something which could have happened in the past, but which did not actually happen.If I had known that you were coming, I would have told Jim.They wouldn't have gone to bed if they had been expecting you to arrive.The continuous tensesMain points* Continuous tenses describe actions which continue to happen before and after a particular time.* Continuous tenses can also indicate duration and change.1 You use a continuous tense to indicate that an action continues to happen before and after a particular time, without stopping. You use the present continuous for actions which continue to happen before and after the moment of speaking.I'm looking at the photographs my brother sent me.They're having a meeting.2 When you are talking about two actions in the present tense, you use the present continuous for an action that continues to happen before and after another action that interrupts it. You use the present simple for the other action.The phone always rings when I'm having a bath.Friends always talk to me when I'm trying to study.3 When you are talking about the past, you use the past continuous for actions that continued to happen before and after another action, or before and after a particular time. This is often called the `interrupted past'. You use the past simple for the other action.He was watching television when the doorbell rang.It was 6 o'clock. The train was nearing London.WARNING: If two things happened one after another, you use two verbs in the past simple tense.As soon as he saw me, he waved.4 You can use continuous forms with modals in all their usual meanings.See Units 79 to 91 for more information on modals.What could he be thinking of?They might be telling lies.5 You use continuous tenses to express duration, when you want to emphasize how long something has been happening or will happen for.We had been living in Athens for five years.They'll be staying with us for a couple of weeks.He has been building up the business all his life.By 1992, he will have been working for ten years.Note that you do not have to use continuous tenses for duration.We had lived in Africa for five years.He worked for us for ten years.6 You use continuous tenses to describe a state or situation that is temporary.I'm living in London at the moment.He'll be working nights next week.She's spending the summer in Europe.7 You use continuous tenses to show that something is changing, developing, or progressing.Her English was improving.The children are growing up quickly.The video industry has been developing rapidly.8 As a general rule, verbs which refer to actions that require a deliberate effort can be used in continuous tenses, verbs which refer to actions that do not require a deliberate effort are not used in continuous tenses.I think it's going to rain. (`think' = `believe'. Believing does not require deliberate effort)Please be quiet. I'm thinking . (`think' = `try to solve a problem'. Trying to solve a problem does require deliberate effort)However, many verbs are not normally used in the continuous tenses. These include verbs that refer to thinking, liking and disliking, appearance, possession, and perception.The perfect tensesMain points* You use the present perfect (`I have walked') to relate the past to the present.* You use the past perfect (`I had walked') to talk about a situation that occurred before a particular time in the past.1 You use the present perfect tense when you are concerned with the present effects of something which happened at an indefinite time in the past.I'm afraid I've forgotten my book.Have you heard from Jill recently?Sometimes, the present effects are important because they are very recent.Karen has just passed her exams.You also use the present perfect when you are thinking of a time which started in the past and is still continuing.Have you really lived here for ten years?He has worked here since 1987.You also use the present perfect in time clauses, when you are talking about something which will be done at some time in the future.Tell me when you have finished.I'll write to you as soon as I have heard from Jenny.2 When you want to emphasize the fact that a recent event continued to happen for some time, you use the present perfect continuous.She's been crying.I've been working hard all day.3 You use the past perfect tense when you are looking back from a point in past time, and you are concerned with the effects of something which happened at an earlier time in the past.I apologized because I had forgotten my book.He felt much happier once he had found a new job.They would have come if we had invited them.You also use the past perfect when you are thinking of a time which had started earlier in the past but was still continuing.I was about twenty.

He will have left the house by now.5 You can also use other modals with `have', when you are looking back from a point in time at something which you think may have happened at an earlier time.I might have finished work by then.He should have arrived in Paris by the time we phone.Talking about the presentMain points* For the general present, general truths, and habitual actions, you use the present simple (`I walk').* For something which is happening now, or for temporary situations, you use the present continuous (`I am walking').1 If you are talking about the present in general, you normally use the present simple tense. You use the present simple for talking about the general present including the present moment.My dad works in Saudi Arabia.He lives in the French Alps near the Swiss border.2 If you are talking about general truths, you use the present simple.Water boils at 100 degrees centigrade.Love makes the world go round.The bus takes longer than the train.3 If you are talking about regular or habitual actions, you use the present simple.Do you eat meat?I get up early and eat my breakfast in bed.I pay the milkman on Fridays.4 If you are talking about something which is regarded as temporary, you use the present continuous.Do you know if she's still playing tennis these days?I'm working as a British Council officer.5 If you are talking about something which is happening now, you normally use the present continuous tense.We're having a meeting. Come and join in.Wait a moment. I'm listening to the news.6 There are a number of verbs which are used in the present simple tense even when you are talking about the present moment. These verbs are not normally used in the present continuous or the other continuous tenses. These verbs usually refer to:thinking:believe forget imagine know realize recognize suppose think understand want wish liking and disliking:admire dislike hate like love preferappearance:appear look like resemble seempossession:belong to contain have include own possessperception:hear see smell tastebeing:be consist of existI believe he was not to blame.She hates going to parties.Our neighbours have two cars.Note that you normally use verbs of perception with the modal `can', rather than using the present simple tense.I can smell gas.Some other common verbs are not normally used in the present continuous or the other continuous tenses.concern, deserve, fit, interest, involve, matter, mean, satisfy, surpriseWhat do you mean?WARNING: Some of the verbs listed above can be used in continuous tenses in other meanings.

But note the following examples.We're having a party tomorrow.He's having problems with his car.She's having a shower.Talking about the pastMain points* For actions, situations, or regular events in the past, you use the past simple (`I walked'). For regular events in the past, you can also use `would' or `used to'.* For events that happened before and after a time in the past, and for temporary situations, you use the past continuous (`I was walking').* For present effects of past situations, you use the present perfect (`I have walked'), and for past effects of earlier events you use the past perfect (`I had walked').* For future in the past, you use `would', `was/were going to', or the past continuous (`I was walking').1 When you want to talk about an event that occurred at a particular time in the past, you use the past simple.The Prime Minister flew into New York yesterday.The new term started last week.You also use the past simple to talk about a situation that existed over a period of time in the past.We spent most of our time at home last winter.They earned their money quickly that year.2 When you want to talk about something which took place regularly in the past, you use the past simple.They went for picnics most weekends.We usually spent the winter at Aunt Meg's house.WARNING: The past simple always refers to a time in the past. A time reference is necessary to say what time in the past you are referring to. The time reference can be established in an earlier sentence or by another speaker, but it must be established.When you want to talk about something which occurred regularly in the past, you can use `would' or `used to' instead of the past simple.We would normally spend the winter in Miami.People used to believe that the world was flat.WARNING: You do not normally use `would' with this meaning with verbs which are not used in the continuous tenses.3 When you want to talk about something which continued to happen before and after a given time in the past, you use the past continuous.I hurt myself when I was mending my bike.It was midnight.

You are usually talking about what you think might happen or what you intend to happen. This is why you often use modals. Although most modals can be used with future reference, you most often use the modal `will' to talk about the future.Nancy will arrange it.When will I see them?2 When you are making predictions about the future that are based on general beliefs, opinions, or attitudes, you use `will'.The weather tomorrow will be warm and sunny.I'm sure you will enjoy your visit to the zoo.This use of `will' is common in sentences with conditional clauses.You'll be late, if you don't hurry.When you are using facts or events in the present situation as evidence for a prediction, you can use `going to'.It's going to rain . (I can see black clouds)I'm going to be late. (I have missed my train)3 When you are saying what someone has decided to do, you use `going to'.They're going to have a party.I'm going to stay at home today.WARNING: You do not normally use `going to' with the verb `go'.

I think I'll go to bed.4 In promises and offers relating to the future, you often use `will' with the meaning `be willing to'.I'll do what I can.I'll help with the washing-up.Note that you can use `will' with this meaning in an `if'-clause.I'll put you through, if you'll hang on for a minute. (= if you are willing to hang on for a minute) WARNING: Remember that you do not normally use `will' in `if'-clauses.If you do that, you will be wasting your time.The children will call out if they think he is wrong.5 When you want to say that something will happen because arrangements have been made, you use the future continuous tense.I'll be seeing them when I've finished with you.I'll be waiting for you outside.She'll be appearing at the Royal Festival Hall.6 When you want to talk about something that has not happened yet but will happen before a particular time in the future, you use the future perfect tense.By the time we phone he'll already have started.By 2010, he will have worked for twelve years.Present tenses for futureMain points* When you are talking about the future in relation to official timetables or the calendar, you use the present simple (`I walk').* When talking about people's plans and arrangements for the future, you use the present continuous (`I am walking').* In `if'-clauses, time clauses, and defining relative clauses, you can use the present simple (`I walk') to refer to the future.1 When you are talking about something in the future which is based on an official timetable or calendar, you use the present simple tense.

In `if'-clauses and time clauses, you normally use the present simple for future reference.If he comes, I'll let you know.Please start when you are ready.We won't start until everyone arrives.Lock the door after you finally leave.6 In defining relative clauses, you normally use the present simple, not `will', to refer to thefuture.Any decision that you make will need her approval.Give my love to any friends you meet.There is a silver cup for the runner who finishes first.7 If you want to show that a condition has to be the case before an action can be carried out, you use the present perfect for future events.We won't start until everyone has arrived.I'll let you know when I have arranged everything.。

英语四种时态定义,标志,结构及例句The four primary English tenses are the present, past, future, and present perfect. Each tense has a distinct definition, set of markers, and sentence structure, which are essential for effective communication and writing in the English language.The present tense is used to describe actions, states, or events that are happening in the current moment or that occur regularly. The markers for the present tense include the simple present (e.g., "I go to school every day"), the present continuous (e.g., "I am studying for my exam"), and the present perfect (e.g., "I have finished my homework"). The structure for the simple present tense follows the pattern of subject + verb (in the base form) + object, if applicable. For example, "She writes poetry." The present continuous tense follows the structure of subject + be verb (am/is/are) + verb (present participle) + object, if applicable. For example, "I am reading a book." The present perfect tense follows the structure of subject + have/has + past participle + object, if applicable. For example, "She has completed her project."The past tense is used to describe actions, states, or events that occurred at a specific time in the past. The markers for the past tense include the simple past (e.g., "I went to the park yesterday"), the past continuous (e.g., "I was studying when the phone rang"), and the past perfect (e.g., "I had finished my homework before my parents came home"). The structure for the simple past tense follows the pattern of subject + verb (in the past tense) + object, if applicable. For example, "She cooked dinner last night." The past continuous tense follows the structure of subject + was/were + verb (present participle) + object, if applicable. For example, "I was playing soccer when it started to rain." The past perfect tense follows the structure of subject + had + past participle + object, if applicable. For example, "She had already left the party before I arrived."The future tense is used to describe actions, states, or events that will occur at a specific time in the future. The markers for the future tense include the simple future (e.g., "I will go to the beach tomorrow"), the future continuous (e.g., "I will be studying for my exam all weekend"), and the future perfect (e.g., "I will have finished my project by the end of the week"). The structure for the simple future tense follows the pattern of subject + will + verb (in the base form) + object, if applicable. For example, "They will visit the museum next month." The future continuous tense follows the structure of subject + will + be + verb (present participle) + object, if applicable. For example, "I will be working at the office all day tomorrow." Thefuture perfect tense follows the structure of subject + will + have + past participle + object, if applicable. For example, "By the time you arrive, I will have already cleaned the house."The present perfect tense is used to describe actions, states, or events that have occurred at an unspecified time in the past, often with a connection to the present. The markers for the present perfect tense include the present perfect (e.g., "I have studied for the exam") and the present perfect continuous (e.g., "I have been studying for the exam all week"). The structure for the present perfect tense follows the pattern of subject + have/has + past participle + object, if applicable. For example, "She has written a novel." The present perfect continuous tense follows the structure of subject + have/has + been + verb (present participle) + object, if applicable. For example, "I have been working on this project for months."In conclusion, the four primary English tenses – present, past, future, and present perfect – each have distinct definitions, markers, and sentence structures.
