T he Present Continuous Tense
现在进行时态由助动词be(am, is, are) + doing 构成,表示现阶段正在进行的动作 。例如:
They are learning Chinese in Beijing.他们正在北 京学汉语。
The b oy is playing football on the playground.
那个男孩正在操场上踢足球。
但现在进行时还可以表示根据计划、安排即将发生的动作。 例如:
Mary is leaving for Shanghai tomorrow morning.
玛丽明天早晨将动身去上海。
Whe n are you coming her e? 你什么时候来这儿?
应该注意的是,不是所有的动词都可以用进行时态表将来时态,只有表示具有位置移动意义的移位动词及少部分其它意义的动词 才可以用进行时态表将来时间。这类动词包括: arrive, begin, come, die, go,leave, end, return, start, travel, fly, stop, close(关闭), drive (开车), fall(落下), remain(留下), stay(逗留), move(搬家), land(登陆),leave for(前往), take off(起飞), see… off(送行)等。例如:
Hurry up. The plane is taking off soon. 快点, 飞机马上 就要起飞了。
Is your father flying to New York next week?
