2-2 現(xiàn)在進行式
假如我們正在做一件事,是不能用現(xiàn)在式的,而必須用現(xiàn)在進行式,現(xiàn)在進行式的形態(tài)是: verb to be + present participle(現(xiàn)在分詞) verb to be 大家都懂,什么叫做現(xiàn)在分詞呢?現(xiàn)在分詞就是:動詞+ing 以下是現(xiàn)在分詞的例子
動詞 現(xiàn)在分詞
work working
go going
read reading
run running
play playing
swim swimming
sing singing
write writing
eat eating
walk walking
come coming
love loving
like liking
watch watching
smoke smoking
如果我們說 I am watching a movie. 那是指我現(xiàn)在正在看電影,這和 I watch movies. 意義上截然不同的,I watch movies是說我有看電影的習慣。 因此有些動詞是沒有現(xiàn)在進行式的,舉例來說:I am loving you. 是不通的,因為嚴格說起來,love是一種狀態(tài),而不是一個動作。現(xiàn)在進行式,都是指動作,很少指狀態(tài)的。
以下是現(xiàn)在進行式的例子:
I am calling my father.
He is swimming now.
He is playing basketball.
They are all eating now.
He is walking in the woods now.
He is reading a detective novel.
Mr. Brown is driving to work.
Mrs. Brown is cooking.
It is raining now.
