时态横向比较:四种(进行)时态的相同点与不同点
英语中的四种进行时态包括现在进行时、过去进行时、将来进行时和过去将来进行时。
一、相同点
1. 都强调动作在特定时间段内的持续性:这四种进行时态都表示动作在某一特定时间正在进行,突出动作的持续性。
2. 结构有相似之处:均由“be 动词 + 动词的现在分词”构成,只是 be 动词的形式随不同的时态而变化。
二、不同点
1. 现在进行时:
用法:
表示现在正在进行的动作;
表示现阶段正在进行的动作,但说话时不一定正在进行;
表示即将发生的动作,常与表示将来的时间状语连用,如“be going to”结构。
结构:am/is/are + 动词的现在分词。
例句:
I am reading a book now.(现在正在进行的动作);
She is learning French these days.(现阶段正在进行的动作);
The train is leaving soon.(即将发生的动作)。
2. 过去进行时:
用法:表示过去某一时刻或某一段时间正在进行的动作;常与表示过去的时间状语连用,可用来描述背景。
结构:was/were + 动词的现在分词。
例句:
I was watching TV at eight o'clock last night.(过去某一时刻正在进行的动作);
While I was doing my homework, my mother was cooking.(过去某一段时间正在进行的动作,描述背景)。
3. 将来进行时:
用法:表示将来某一时刻正在进行的动作;表示对将来的一种预测,语气较为委婉。
结构:will be + 动词的现在分词。
例句:
I will be studying English at this time tomorrow.(将来某一时刻正在进行的动作);
They will be having a meeting this afternoon. Maybe it will last for a long time.(对将来的一种预测)。
4. 过去将来进行时:
用法:从过去某一时间看将来某一时刻正在进行的动作;常用于宾语从句中。
结构:would be + 动词的现在分词。
例句:She said she would be waiting for me at the station at six o'clock.(从过去某一时间看将来某一时刻正在进行的动作,用于宾语从句)。
