1、1语法讲义一、英语动词的时态(一)英汉两种语言在时态表达方式上的差异:英语的词类与汉语的不同。汉语词类形态稳定,比如“书”这个字, “一本书” 、 “三本书”都一样,没有词形变化。英语就不同了,book, books 仅从词形上就能知道是单数还是复数。动词是英语中变化最多、最复杂的词类。有人说,学好英语就是学好动词,此言甚是。同一个动作或状态分别在不同时间发生或存在,表达这个动作或状态的动词就要用不同的形式,这就是时态。例如:在“中国是个伟大的国家。 ”和“中国曾经是世界上最伟大的国家。 ”这两句话当中,汉语的“是”没有变化,而是用“曾经”这个词来表达时间的不同。China is a grea
2、t country.中国是个伟大的国家。China was the greatest country in the world.中国曾经是世界上最伟大的国家。在这几句中,动词 be 的形态变了,表示的时间变了,但意义没有变化。再如, “他经常帮助我。 ”“他昨天帮助我了。 ”和“他一直在帮助我。 ”这三句话当中,汉语的“帮助”没有任何变化,而是用“经常” 、 “一直”和“昨天”分别表达出时间的区别。英语就不同,它必须用动词本身的形态变化来完成任务。He often helps me.他经常帮助我。He helped me yesterday.他昨天帮助我了。He has been helpin
3、g me.他一直在帮助我。在这几句中,动词 help 的形态变了,表示的时间变了,但意义没有变化。(二)英语动词的形式:英语的时态是通过动词的变化来体现的。因此,了解动词的形式及其变化规律非常重要。英语的实义动词有以下五种形式:(1) 动词原形:动词原形在句子中形式不变。主要用于主语为非第三人称单数的一般现在时,情态动词之后,或根据语法规定必须用动词原形的其他情况。(2) 一般现在时第三人称单数形式(简称现单三):主要用于主语为第三人称单数的一般现在时。(3) 过去式:主要用于一般过去时。(4) 现在分词:主要用于进行时态,或语法规定的其他情况。(5) 过去分词:主要用于完成时态,或语法规定的
4、其他情况。这里提到的“语法规定的其他情况”我们在以后的讲座中会详细介绍。下面把这些动词形式的构成说明一下。动词一般现在时第三人称单数(现单三)的构成,见下表:词尾变化(规律与名词变复数相同,读音也与名词复数相同) 举例一般加-s Help-helps; read-reads在 ch, sh, s, x 或元音字母 o 后面加-es Do, fix, pass, push, teach -does, fixes, passes, pushes, teaches以辅音字母加 y 结尾的词,变 y 为 i 再加-es Try, study - tries, stuides与名词变复数形式相同,读音也
5、相同。动词过去式和过去分词,大多数是动词原形+ ed 构成,这是规则动词。规则动词的拼写和读音规则如下表:词尾变化 举例 词尾读音Help-helped Work-workedWatch-watched 清辅音之后读tWant-wanted need-needed t ,d之后读t动词后面加-edTurn-turned play-played 元音和浊辅音(d除外)2以不发音的“e”结尾的词,加-d Love-lovedServe-served结尾是辅音字母+y 时,y 变 i,再加-ed Study-studiedTry-tried之后读d结尾只有一个辅音字母的重读闭音节词,双写辅音字母再加
6、-edStop-stoppedDrop-dropped 清辅音之后读t不规则动词的过去式和过去分词有其特殊变化形式,需要个别记忆,同时也要善于发现不规则中的规则,即某些字母组合的不规则动词有一定的规律。如:weepwept, sleepslept, sweepswept现在分词一律由动词原形加-ing 构成,规则如下表:词尾变化 举例一般加-ing Look-looking, try-trying以不发音的 e 结尾的词,去掉 e,再加-ing Write-writing, dance-dancing以一个辅音字母(x 除外)词尾的重读闭音节词,先双写词尾的辅音字母,再加 -ingBegin-
7、beginning, swim-swimming,Run-running, sit-sitting以-ie 结尾的词,变 ie 为 y,再加-ing Die-dying, lie-lying为了学习的方便,人们把时间分为四个阶段:“现在、过去、将来、过去将来” 。英语动词所表示的动作在以上每个时间段中分别有四种状态:一般、进行、完成和完成进行。因此我们便有了四四一十六个时态。不同的时态有不同的变化形式。以 do 为例,列表如下:时态 一般 进行 完成 完成进行现在时 Does; do Am/is/are+doing Has/have+done Has/have+been doing过去时 Di
8、d Was/were+doing Had done Had been doing将来时 Shall/will+do Shall/will be +doing Shall/will have + done Shall/will+have been doing过去将来时 Should/would/+do Would/should+be doing Should/would + have done Would/should + have been doing“时态”就是通过动词的形态变化,来表达动作发生的时间(现在、过去、将来、过去将来)及所处的状态(一般、进行、完成、完成进行) 。比如在“They
9、 are doing their exercises.”这个句子中,动词由原形 do 变成 are doing 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于正在进行的状态当中,所以叫现在进行时;在“They have done their exercises.”这句中,动词由原形 do 变成 have done 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于完成的状态,所以叫现在完成时;在“They always do their exercises.”中,动词用原形 do 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并且是一般情况下永远如此,所以叫一般现在时。在这三句话中,动词 do 虽然用了不同的形态,其意义
10、没有变化,而是事情发生的时间和状态变了。其余类推。16 个时态中,常用的有 12 个:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、过去将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、将来进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时、将来完成时、现在完成进行时和过去完成进行时。其他时态很少单独使用。下面我们把各种时态的构成和用法做一个全面的介绍。1、一般现在时(1)构成:通常以动词原形表示。主语为第三人称单数时,用现单三形式。动词 be 和 have(表示“拥有”)各人称的单数形式为:第一人称单数 第二人称单数 第三人称单数Have Have Have HasBe Am Are is一般现在时的否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:动词

He has been here for 2 weeks.Its 4 months since the old man died.They have been away only for 5 minutes2)have (has) been 和 have (has) gone 的区别:表示“曾到过某地 ”要用 “have (has) been”; 表示“已经去某

37、has been raining for three hours. 雨一直下了三个小时了。What book have you been reading recently? 最近你一直在读什么书?2)有些动词不能用于现在进行时,如 be, have, like, love, know, see, hear 等,这些词同样也不能用于现在完成进行时。如:I havent seen you for ages. 我好久没见到你了。I have loved her for a long time. 我一直爱她。I have known him for a long time. 我认识他很久了。3)现在完

41、式如下:否定式 疑问式I did not (didnt) study. Did I study?You did not (didnt) study. Did you study?He did not (didnt) study. Did he study?否定疑问式 简单回答 (肯定/否定)Did I not (Didnt I) study? Yes, you did. No, you didnt.Di you not (Didnt you) study? Yes, I did. No, I didnt.Did he not (Didnt he) study? Yes, he did. No,

43、hen she was young. 李红小时候在上海住过十年。 (有的同学认为出现了 for some time 之类的时间状语,就要用完成时态。这种看法不完全正确。如果指的是在过去某事持续了一段时间,就要用一般过去时)注意:在动词用一般过去时的句子里通常有时间状语,表明动作发生的时间。如该句中没有时间状语,那么上下文中一定有表明过去的时间状语或可以体现“动作或情况发生在过去”这一概念。翻译练习:1)他昨天晚上离开这里到上海去了。He left for Shanghai yesterday evening.2)你昨天早上是什么时候醒来的? 我六点钟醒的,可是到七点才起床。What time

45、成。其中 be 有人称和数的变化,第一、第三人称单数用 was,其他用 were.1)过去进行时动词主要表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或持续进行的动作。过去进行时经常与过去时配合使用。例如:This time yesterday, we were having an English lesson. 昨天这个时候,我们正在上英语课。The teacher was giving us a lesson when Tom walked into the room. 老师在给我们上课时,汤姆走进教室。While we were having supper, all the lights we
