基本語法

現在完成時（Ⅲ）

某些動詞的現在完成時可表示從過去某一時間開始并一直持續到現在的動作或狀態。

1. 可以和表示延續的時間狀語連用，如“for+時間段”“since+過去的時間點”“since+一段時間+ ago”“since+一般過去時的句子”。

I have lived here for 10 years.

=I have lived here since 10 years ago.

我已經住在這里10年了。

She has taught us since I came to this school.

自從我來到這所學校，她就一直教我們。

2. 表示持續動作或狀態的動詞多是延續性動詞。

短暫性動詞 （buy， die， join， finish等） 不能直接與表示一段時間的狀語連用，需要轉換為相應的延續性動詞。

buy—have borrow—keep

put on—wear catch a cold—have a cold

get to know—know get to sleep—sleep

begin/start—be on go out—be out

open—be open close—be closed

become—be die—be dead

finish/end—be over leave/go—be away

fall asleep—be asleep make friends—be friends

join—be in/be a member of

come/arrive/reach/get to—be （in）

注意：非延續性動詞在否定結構中可用現在完成時。

I havent seen him for three years.

我三年沒有看見他了。

3. 現在完成時和一般過去時的區別

（1）側重點不同

現在完成時側重于過去發生的某一動作對現在的影響;而一般過去時側重于某一動作發生在過去某個時間或某段時間。即現在完成時強調的是現在的情況，而一般過去時強調動作發生在過去。

I have seen the film.

我看過這部電影。（我了解這部電影的內容）

I saw the film three days ago.

三天前我看了這部電影。（只說明三天前看了這部電影，不涉及現在的情況）

（2）時間狀語不同

現在完成時可以和already， yet， just， ever， never， before等副詞連用，還可以和“for+時間段”“since+過去的時間點”“since+一段時間+ago”“since+一般過去時的句子”等時間狀語連用;而一般過去時則常與three weeks ago， just now， yesterday， last night等表示過去時間的狀語連用。

She has lived here since two years ago.

她兩年前就住在這里了。

She lived here two years ago.

兩年前她住在這里。

The children grow vegetables and take care of animals， but they are not playing “Farmville （開心農場）” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries， such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self-reliant （獨立自主） and develop friendship between children from different countries， we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn， the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest （收成） to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. Its a good way for them to learn to be responsible （有責任心）.

Pritesh， a student in Grade 8， said， “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves， we dont feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

A parent said happily， “Through farming， they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”
