一般現在時是中考熱點,同時也是七年級上學期的一個重要語法項目,現在談談一般現在時,以便幫助大家更好地掌握這一語法項目。
一、概念
一般現在時表示現在的一段時間內經常發生的動作或存在的狀態。如:
You are students. 你們都是學生。
We often practice English in the morning. 我們經常在早晨練習英語。
二、判斷依據
一般現在時常有often,usually,always,sometimes等頻度副詞或表示經常性的時間狀語如every day/week/month/year,on Sundays等。如:
They usually watch TV in the evening. 他們通常晚上看電視。
My father goes to work by bike every day.
我的父親每天騎自行車去上班。
His mother often goes shopping on Sundays.
他的媽媽經常星期日去購物。
三、句子謂語
1.含系動詞be(am/is/are)。be動詞的用法為:I 作主語,用am,you作主語用are,單數的人或物以及不可數名詞作主語用is,兩個或兩個以上的人或物作主語,用are。如:
I am a student. 我是一個學生。
Are you a musician? 你是一個音樂人嗎?
He is a businessman. 他是一個生意人。
My brother and sister are both students. 我的哥哥和姐姐都是學生。
Two cups are on the table. 兩個茶杯在桌子上。
2.含can,may,must,need等情態動詞的一般現在時的句子,它們沒有人稱和數的變化,后接動詞原形,如:
He can swim. 他會游泳。
They can dance and sing. 他們既會唱歌又會跳舞。
3.含行為動詞(即實義動詞)的一般現在時的句子,根據句子主語的不同而使用不同的動詞形式:
(1)第三人稱單數主語作句子主語具體指下列情況: a.人稱代詞he, she, it。b.單個人名、地名或稱呼。c.單數可數名詞或“this/that/the/形容詞性物主代詞+單數可數名詞”。d.不定代詞someone, somebody, nobody, everything, something, one等,及指示代詞this, that。e.不可數名詞。f.數字、重量、算式、時間、距離或字母等。如果是這些第三人稱單數作句子主語,謂語用單三動詞,單三動詞的構成與名詞的單數變為復數的規則基本相同,主要掌握:一般情況在動詞末尾加s。如closes、starts等;以s、x、sh、ch、o結尾的動詞在詞尾加es。如:does、washes、watches等。以“輔音+y”結尾的動詞,先將y改為i,再加es,如studies、carries等,have的單三形式為has,如:
He does his homework in the evening. 他在晚上做作業。
She has a brother. 她有一個哥哥。
My mother often goes shopping on Sundays.
我媽媽經常星期天去購物。
(2)如果不是第三人稱單數作句子主語,謂語用動詞原形。如:
I have an English dictionary. 我有一本英語詞典。
They like playing basketball. 他們都喜歡打籃球。
You have a football. 你有一個足球。
四、句式
(一)陳述句形式常有五種:
1.“S+V”(主語+不及物動詞)。如:
My mother gets up early every morning. 媽媽每天早晨起床很早。
The sun rises in the east. 太陽從東方升起。
2.“S+V+P”(主語+系動詞+表語)。如:
His sister is a teacher. 他的姐姐是一名教師。
I feel very happy. 我感到非常高興。
3.“S+V+O”(主語+及物動詞+賓語)。如:
She is reading a book. 她在看書。
They made cakes. 他們做了蛋糕。
4.“S+V+InO+DO”(主語+及物動詞+間接賓語+直接賓語)。如:
He gives me a piece of paper. 他給我一張紙。
She tells me a story. 她給我講了一個故事。
5.“S+V+O+C”(主語+及物動詞+賓語+賓語補足語)。如:
We must keep our school clean. 我們必須讓學校保持干凈。
㈡疑問句
1.一般疑問句
在朗讀時要用升調,一般都能用yes或no進行回答。由陳述句變一般疑問句的方法有:
(1) 謂語動詞有be動詞(am/is/are)或情態動詞(can,must,could,would等),把它們提到主語前(即跟主語位置對調),可用口訣“一調、二改、三變”來概括這種方法,“一調”指把句中的be(am/is/are)或can等詞調到主語前;“二改”指句中的主語若含有I(my/we)等第一人稱代詞時,需將它們分別改為you(your/you),謂語為am時,常改為are;“三變”指把句末的句號變為問號,如:
My brother is a teacher.(改疑問句) Is your brother a teacher?
She can dance and sing.(改疑問句) Can she dance and sing?
I am a student. (改疑問句) Are you a student?
(2)句中沒有am/is/are/can/must等系動詞或情態動詞時,如果謂語是動詞原形,變一般疑問句時要在其句首加助動詞do,如果是單三動詞在句首加助動詞does,并把單三動詞改成原形。可用口訣“一加助、二改原、三變號”來概括這種方法,“一加助”指第一步根據謂語動詞加助動詞do或does,“二改原”指用了助動詞does后,要把單三動詞改為原形(加助動詞do時,因原句已經就是動詞原形,所以動詞不需要變動),“三變號”指第三步把句末的句號變為問號,如:
He studies English.(改疑問句)→Does he study English?
They have a good teacher.(改疑問句)→Do they have a good teacher?
2.特殊疑問句
變特殊疑問句,在一般疑問句前加相應的特殊疑問詞,回答往往針對特殊疑問詞進行。如:
——Where do they work? 他們在哪里工作?
——They work in a factory. 在工廠。
——What does she do? 她是干什么的?
——She is a teacher. 她是個老師。
——How much are these pants? 這些褲子多少錢?
——They are twelve dollars. 他們12美元。
——When is your birthday? 你的生日是什么時候?
——Its June 3rd. 6月3日。
3.選擇疑問句
選擇疑問句以特殊疑問句或一般疑問句的相關人、物、時間、地點等為基礎,以or連接另一個(或多個)人、物、時間、地點等供選擇,回答時往往選擇or前或后的部分進行回答,如:
——Is your friend a boy or a girl? 你的朋友是男孩還是女孩?
——A boy. 男孩。
——Does she work in a factory or in a shop?
他在工廠還是在商店工作?
——In a shop. 在商店。
(三)否定句
(1)有am/is/are或can/must/could/would等直接在它們后加not,如:
They are at home today. (否定句)→They arent at home today.
He is at work. (否定句)→He isnt at work.
She can dance well. (否定句) →She cant dance well.
(2)沒有系動詞或情態動詞則加dont/does not構成否定句,如原句是單三動詞的要改為原形,如:
He studies English. (否定句)→He doesnt study English.
They have a good teacher. (否定句)→They dont have a good teacher.
注意:
(1)I think…句型變否定句時要以think為中心,如:
I think it is right. 我認為它對。
I dont think it is right. 我認為它不對。
I think she is at home. 我認為她在家。
I dont think she is at home. 我認為她不在家。
(2)因no=not any/a,所以不少名詞前也常有no構成否定的(尤其是在there be或have/has句式中)。如:
I have time to do the housework. 我有時間干家務活。
I have no time(=not any time) to do the housework.
我沒時間干家務活。
There is a book in my backpack. 我的雙肩背包里有一本書。
There is no book in my backpack. 我的雙肩背包里沒有書。
(3)肯定句含有always, sometimes, often, usually等時,常把它們改為never變為否定句。如:
He always does some reading at the weekend. 他在周末經常閱讀。
He never does some reading at the weekend. 他在周末從不閱讀。
My sister often goes to school by bus.
我妹妹經常乘公共汽車去上學。
My sister never goes to school by bus.
我妹妹從不乘公共汽車去上學。
(4)have/has作“有”講時,變疑問句或否定句有兩種方式,既可借助于助動詞do/does,也可用它們本身,have/has作其它意義時,只能借助于助動詞。如:
He has a pen. 他有一支筆。
Does he have a pen?/Has he a pen? 他有一支筆嗎?
He doesnt have/hasnt a pen.他沒有一支筆。
They have lunch at school. 他們在學校里吃午餐。
Do they have lunch at school? 他們在學校里吃午餐嗎?
They dont have lunch at school. 他們不在學校里吃午餐。
(5)在變否定句或疑問句時,一般要把some改成any。如:
She wants some chalk.(否定句)→She doesnt want any chalk.
There are some beautiful flowers for them.(疑問句)→Are there any beautiful flowers for them?
