現在進行式使用時機
現在進行式是用來表達動作正在進行中的句型。現在的時態就是now,進行式即表達某動作或事件正在發生或持續性的發生中。
句型:主詞+be 動詞+V-ing…. be動詞為現在式的be動詞: am is are 搭配現在分詞(v-ing)
一般動詞改為現在分詞的規則
規則 | 直接加 -ing | 字尾 e 不發音 → 去 e 加 -ing | 單音節字,字尾為「短母音+子音」 → 重複字尾加 -ing |
例字 | learn→leatning go→going play→playing wait→waiting talk→talking | take→taking ride→riding dance→dancing write→writing make→making | cut→cutting run→running stop→stopping swim→swimming chat→chatting |
如果單字字尾是「子音+y」,形成動名詞時,字尾並不去 y,而直接加 -ing,字尾是「母音+y」時,也是直接加 -ing。study → studying、cry → crying、 buy → buying、play → playing。
他正在看電視。He is watching TV.
They are playing the guitar.他們正在彈吉他。
2. 現在進行式問句可以用疑問詞where、who、what ……等置於句首來問。
wh- 問句 | 答句 |
What is Dave doing? Dave 正在做什麼? | He is studying English. 他正在讀英文。 |
What is Tina doing now? Tina正在做什麼? | She is roller-skating now. 她正溜冰。 |
What are you doing? 你(你們)正在做什麼? | I am training my dog. 我正在訓練我的狗。 |
Where are Mike and Frank playing? Mike和Frank正在哪裡玩? | They are playing in the garden. 他們在花園裡玩。 |
他們正在跟誰講話? | They are talking to Mr. Lin. 他們在跟林先生說話。 |
3. 現在進行式也有Yes / No 問句,形成的方式為將be 動詞置於句首,然後再接主詞與現在分詞。而其回答方式與Yes / No 問句相似,只是詳答句的句型改為現在進行式。
句型:Be 動詞+主詞+V-ing…?
