1)一般时态通常表示经常的动作或状态,而进行时态则表示在某一时刻或某段时间正在进行着的动作。如:

We read newspapers every day.我们每天读报。

She is now reading the newspaper.她现在正在读报。

2)一般时态表示主语的固有特征、能力等,而进行时态则表示主语在某一时刻或某段时间内所进行的具体动作。如:

He sings well.他唱得很好。

He is singing a folk song.他在唱一首民歌。 [注] 并不是所有的动词都能用进行时态,例如表达状态、感情和感觉的某些动词,通常只能用一般时态而不能用进行时态,例如\知道)一般就不能用进行时态。这类动词还有be(是),have(有),1ove (爱),hate(恨),want(想要),1ike(喜欢),think(认为),believe(相信),see(看见),hear(听见)等。

现在进行时的基本概念

1)现在进行时表示此时此刻(说话人说话时)正在进行的动作,它并不表明这一动作从什么时候开始,到什么时候结束。汉语常用\正)在\或\着\来表示这种时间关系。如:

What are you doing?

-I'm doing some washing.你在干什么?--我在洗衣服。 Look! It is snowing.瞧!下着雪哩。

She is drawing a map.她在画一张地图。 Are they listening to the music?

-NO,they are listening to the radio.他们在听音乐吗?--不,他们在听收音机。

2)现在进行时可表示现阶段正在进行着的动作,虽然此时此刻这个动作可能并不在进行。如:

He is working on a paper.他在写一篇论文。

They are compiling a dictionary.他们在编一本词典。 3)现在进行时有时可表示将来发生的动作,有\意图\或\打算\的含义(用于go,come,stay,1eave,start等表示移动的动词)。如:

He is corning to see you tomorrow.他明天要来看你。

They are going to the Ming tombs this coming Sunday.这个星期天他们要到十三陵去。
