《新概念英语》第二册就讲了这么几种时态

《新概念英语》第二册就讲了这么几种时态相对于第一册的时态学习，到了第二册，时态仍然是重要的学习内容，但其比重已经降低，第二册在新增了一些时态的学习的同时，更多强调的是如何去运用在第一册中已经学过的内容，同时相比与第一册偏重听说能力的培养而言，更偏重对学生读写能力的培养。 为此，我们还是先来温习一下上一篇文章的内容： 英语动词的时态总共有16种，是由动作发生的时间（动词的时，即tense：location in time）和动词采用的不同形式（动词的体，即aspect：a single block of time, continuous flow of time, or repetitive occurrence）来决定的，请看表一： 表一 为了便于大家教与学，小编现对第一册的课文进行了汇总分析，发现第一册里总共就讲了七种时态（其中，一般将来时分了两种情况，即be going to和will/shall），这些时态在书中依次出现的顺序是：现在进行时、一般将来时（be going to）、一般现在时、一般过去时、现在完成时、一般将来时（will/shall）、过去进行时、过去完成时。下表汇总了这些时态在教材中所覆盖的课文及其简单说明，以便大家在教与学中，更好地前后连贯起来，请看表二： 表二

以上为第一册的内容，而第二册所要学习的时态数量就更多了，当然比重更大的还是在复习第一册学过的时态。下表汇总了第二册的所有需要复习和新学的时态，请看表三： 表三

把表一和表三进行对比，可以看出，第一册和第二册都没有涉及的时态有4种，即过去将来时、过去将来进行时、过去将来完成时、过去将来完成进行时。看来人们一般不大会玩穿越，回到较远的过去，然后在这个较远的过去的某个时刻开始，畅想更近的过去将做什么、将在做什么、将做完什么、将已经在做什么了（光这么说起来就已经够变扭的了，呵呵）。 与第一册相比，第二册新增了5种时态，即将来进行时、将来完成时、将来完成进行时、现在完成进行时和过去完成进行时，这也是第二册时态教与学的重点和难点。

2020最新新概念英语第二册Lesson73~75课文注释

新概念英语第二册Lesson73课文注释 1.Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. 逃学的孩子们都缺乏想像力。 (1)play truant from school表示“逃学”，上下文清楚时也可以省略 from school,直接说 play truant. truant也可以单用，表示“逃学者”。 As a boy, Tom used to play truant (from school). 汤姆小时候常逃学。 The three boys who are fishing over there are truants and ought to be sent back to school. 那边那3个钓鱼的孩子都是逃学者，应当被送回学校。 (2)unimaginative的反义词为imaginative(富于想像力的，爱想像的)： Painters should be imaginative. 画家应当富于想像力。 He is an imaginative painter. 他是位富有想像力的画家。 2.A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. 他们通常能够做到的, 至多也就是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在电影院里坐上8个小时，一遍遍地看同一部电影。 (1)这句话的主语是is前面的两个并列短语。第1个短语的主要 成分是动名词fishing，第2个短语的主要成分可以看做是eight hours(作为一个时间总量，它后面要跟动词单数形式)。 它实际上是省略了动名词 sitting for(eight hours),seeing引 导的为分词短语，表示伴随动作。 (2)over and over again为固定短语，表示“一再地”、“反复许多次地”：
