现在完成时

现在完成时: 用来表示之前已发生或完成的动作或状态,其结果和现在有密不可分的联系。

现在完成时的构成

现在完成时的用法

1. 表示说话之前已经完成的动作,而且这个动作的结果对现在仍然有影响

It seems that I have met him somewhere before.

似乎我以前在哪里见过他。

The manager has just left. If only you had come a moment earlier.

经理刚走。你要是早点来就好了。

Where have you been this morning? We were all anxious about you.

今天上午你去哪里了?我们都很担心你。

He has been to the city before,so he knows the way well.

他以前去过那个城市,所以他很熟悉那里的路。

★常用的时间状语: already,yet,now,just,by the time,never,ever,twice 等。

2. 表示过去已经开始,持续到现在,而且还可能继续下去的动作或状态

I have travelled to most of the cities in China since five years ago.

五年来我已游遍了中国的大多数城市。

I have worked in the company since I graduated from university.

大学毕业以后,我一直在这家公司工作。

We have learned about 3,000 words in the past few years.

在过去的几年中,我们已经掌握了大约三千个词汇了。

★常用的时间状语: today,this morning,recently,lately,all my life,all the time,all day,so far,in the past/last…,since then,for a long time 等。

3. 在时间和条件状语从句中,用来代替将来时

Once you have made a promise,you shouldn't break it.

一旦许下诺言,你就不能违背。

I'll go home as soon as I have finished all my homework.

我一做完所有作业就回家。

要点拓展

1. 用于现在完成时的句型

It/This is the first/last/only…that… 结构中的从句部分用现在完成时。

It is the first time that I have visited the city.

这是我第一次拜访这个城市。

It is the third time that the boy has been late.

这是这个男孩第三次迟到。

This is the only book that he has ever written .

这是他写过的唯一的一本书。

在“It/This is+形容词最高级+that…” 结构中,that从句要用现在完成时。

This is the best film that I 've seen . 这是我看过的最好的电影。

It is the most interesting book that I have ever read .

这是我读过的最有趣的书。

2. 瞬间动词和持续性动词在现在完成时中的用法

瞬间动词的肯定形式通常不能与表示一段时间的for短语、since短语或从句等连用,因为瞬间动词不能表示延续的状态,它只能用现在完成时表达“已经做了”或“还没有做”,而不能表达“持续了多久”,但是在否定句中就没有这个限制了。

瞬间动词的否定形式可以与表示延续时间的状语连用,即动作不发生的状态是可以持续的。

(错)I have received his letter for a month.

(对)I haven't received his letter for almost a month .

我已经将近一个月没收到他的信了。

since从句中用持续性动词,表示该动作已经结束。

I haven't heard from her since she left Shanghai. 自从她离开上海以来,我就没收到她的信。(She left Shanghai这个动作结束)

It has been several weeks since I was ill.

我病好了好几周了。(I was ill这个动作结束后)

3. since和for经常出现在现在完成时的句子中,但需要注意以下用法

since用来说明动作起始时间,for用来说明动作延续的时间长度。

I have lived here for more than twenty years.

我已经在这里住了二十几年了。

I have lived here since I was born. 自从我出生,我就住在这里。

My aunt has worked in the clinic since 2000.

我阿姨从2000年开始就一直在这家诊所工作。

I have known her since she was a little girl.

从她还是个孩子时起,我就认识她。

My brother has been in the Youth League for five years.

我哥哥加入青年团已经有五年了。

I have not heard from my uncle for a long time.

我已经很久没有收到叔叔的来信了。

并非有for作为时间状语的句子都用现在完成时。

I worked here for more than twenty years.

我曾经在这里工作了20多年。(我现在已不在这里工作)

I have worked here for many years .

我已经在这里工作了多年。(现在我仍在这里工作)

4. 一般过去时和现在完成时的区别

一般过去时 所表示的一个或一段过去时间是可以具体确定的,与其他时间没有牵连。过去时表示的是 对过去事实的描述,与现在的情况没有关系 现在完成时 表示的事情发生在不能具体指出的过去某个或某段时间,它 表示和现在情况有关系,是过去发生的事情在现在产生的结果或对现在的影响,或动作一直持续着。

Did you go to Europe last year?去年你去欧洲了吗?(对去年发生的行为的疑问)

Have you been to Europe? 你去过欧洲吗?(表示过去某个时间发生的行为,实际上问的是现在的情况,即,你对那里了解多少?)

②表示确定的过去时间的状语可以和一般过去时连用,但不能用于现在完成时。能用于现在完成时的是在一定意义上与现在时间有关系的时间状语。

I have been to Europe twice . 我去过欧洲两次了。

He went to Europe last week . 他上周去欧洲了。

③像 fall,arrive,come,leave,start,buy,sell,hear,join 等瞬间动词,可以用一般过去时,但用现在完成时则不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。

How long have you bought the car?(×)(buy是瞬间动词,不能和how long连用)

How long have you had the car?(√)这辆车你买了多久?

He has fallen ill for a week.(fall ill是瞬间动词,不能和“for+一段时间”连用)

He has been ill for a week.(√)他已经病了一个星期了。
