动词与时态
英语的时态都体现在动词,而中文则没有词形的变化,只是通过补充其他词来表达时态。而我们往往很容易以中文的思维组织英文的句子,就导致我们的句子无法传达我们真正想表达的意思。
英文中共有16种时态,相信大家可以轻松搜到相关的资料,这里就不做详细解释了,我想和大家分享比较常见的时态错误例子。
一、时态和语境不一致
例:【错误】I forget to bring my books with me.
【正确】I forgot to bring my books with me.
【分析】现在已经记起来了,forgot指的是说话这一刻之前的动作。
二、主从句时态不一致
例:【错误】He said he will go on a business trip last week.
【正确】He said he would go on a business trip last week.
【分析】主句谓语动词是过去时,从句表示过去的将来要发生的动作,所以用过去将来时。
三、滥用一般现在时
例1.【错误】I meet her already.
【正确】I have met her.
【分析】这里表示“我已经见过她了”。
例2.【错误】I go already.
【正确】 I went there.
【分析】这里“去”的动作发生在过去,不是现在。
四、动词形式错误
例1:【错误】I’ve get your assignment.
【正确】I’ve got your assignment.
例2: 【错误】The bell is ring.
【正确】The bell is ringing.
