进行时态的构成与意义
进行时态构成
- 其构成是:
be + doing

| 三种时间进行时 | 形式 |
|:----😐:----😐:----😐
| 现在进行时 | I am doing...
We/You/They are doing...
He/She/It is doing... |
| 过去进行时 | I/He/She/It was doing...
We/You/They were doing... |
| 将来进行时 | will be doing |
进行时态意义

- I am watching CCTV news right now.
- I was watching CCTV news when be arrived yesterday.
- I will be watching CCTV news at 7:15 pm tomorrow.
因此,进行时态通常和某一特定时刻(如上文中 right now...)连用,来表示某一个活动在该时刻正在进行。这个特定的时刻可以是:1、具体的时间;2、另一具体活动。
- 给出具体时间:
- I am listening to the English program right now.
