  2)過去時常與具體的時間狀語連用,而現(xiàn)在完成時通常與模糊的時間狀語連用,或無時間狀語。

一般過去時的時間狀語:

共同的時間狀語: 
this morning, tonight,this April, now, once,before, already, recently,lately 

現(xiàn)在完成時的時間狀語

  3)現(xiàn)在完成時可表示持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作或狀態(tài),動詞一般是延續(xù)性的,如live, teach, learn, work, study, know.
  過去時常用的非持續(xù)性動詞有come, go, leave, start, die, finish, become, get married等。
