Grammar - 一般现在时中的动词形式 am/is/are
语法要点
一般现在时表示什么
一般现在时用来说经常做的事情、习惯、事实,或者人和东西现在的状态。
I go to school every day.
He likes apples.
She is a teacher.
be 动词:I 用 am
主语是 I 的时候,be 动词永远用 am。
I am happy.
I am a student.
be 动词:一个人/东西用 is
主语是 he、she、it,或者一个人、一个东西(单数)时,be 动词用 is。
He is tall.
She is kind.
It is small.
Tom is happy.
be 动词:多个人/东西、we/you/they 用 are
主语是 we、you、they,或者多个人、多个东西(复数)时,be 动词用 are;you 不管单数复数永远用 are。
We are friends.
You are nice.
They are students.
The boys are happy.
普通动词:I/You/We/They 通常不变
主语是 I、you、we、they 时,一般现在时的普通动词通常用原形,不需要变化。
I play football.
You play football.
They like apples.
普通动词:He/She/It 通常加 s
主语是 he、she、it,或者一个人、一个东西(单数)时,普通动词后面通常要加 s。
He plays football.
She likes apples.
Tom plays basketball.
一般现在时 vs 现在进行时
一般现在时说的是平时、经常做的事;现在进行时说的是现在正在做的事,结构是 am/is/are 加动词-ing,两者不要混淆。
He plays football every Sunday. (一般现在时,经常踢)
He is playing football now. (现在进行时,现在正在踢)
They play football every Sunday.
They are playing football now.
athletes/fans 后面 are 常常是在构成现在进行时
有时候题目里主语是复数,看起来像考 be 动词,但后面跟的是动词-ing,其实整体是现在进行时,不是单纯的 be 动词句。
The athletes are participating in the race.
The fans are cheering for their favourite team.
容易搞错的地方
I is happy.(❌ 错误)
主语是 I 时不能用 is,只能用 am
❌ I is a student.
I am happy.(✅ 正确)
I 后面的 be 动词永远是 am
✅ I am a student.
The boys is happy.(❌ 错误)
boys 是复数,不能用单数的 is
❌ The cats is cute.
The boys are happy.(✅ 正确)
多个人或东西,be 动词要用 are
✅ The cats are cute.
He play football every day.(❌ 错误)
主语是 he,普通动词忘了加 s
❌ She like apples.
He plays football every day.(✅ 正确)
he/she/it 做主语时,一般现在时的普通动词通常要加 s
✅ She likes apples.
He plays football now.(表达不够准确)
now 表示现在正在做,不能只用一般现在时的动词形式
❌ They play football now.
He is playing football now.(✅ 正确)
现在正在做要用 am/is/are + 动词-ing
✅ They are playing football now.
总结
be 动词:I → am;一个人/东西(he/she/it)→ is;多个人/东西(we/you/they)→ are
普通动词:I/You/We/They → 动词原形;He/She/It → 动词通常加 s
一般现在时说平时、经常做的事;现在进行时(am/is/are + 动词-ing)说现在正在做的事,两者不要混淆
超级口诀:I am,He/She/It is,We/You/They are;一个 is,多个 are!
