【主攻考点】动词时态

【考点描述】动词是高考英语中最重要的一个语法考点，而动词时态(以及非谓语动词)又是各类动词考点中最最重要的。从近年来的考题看，动词时态考点主要涉及两种一般时态(一般现在时和一般过去时)、两种进行时态(现在进行时和过去进行时)以及两种完成时态(现在完成时和过去完成时)，有时也涉及一般将来时以及过去将来时等其他时态。主要考查考生在具体语境中对英语动词时态的理解和运用情况。

【特技传授】“五注意”：一要注意句中的时间状语，因为特定的时间状语往往需连用特定的时态；二要注意时态呼应，如主句的过去时态要与宾语从句的过去时态呼应，主句的将来时态要与时间状语从句和条件状语从句的一般现在时态呼应等；三要注意结合具体的语境来分析，不仅要分析动作的先后关系，而且要充分利用题干中已有时态的暗示，同时还要注意结合句子上下文的意思进行综合考虑；四看时态“标志词”，有的词语习惯上要与某种特定的时态连用，如习惯上要连用现在完成时的标志性词语有since(自……以来), so far(到目前为止), by now(到现在为止), in the last [past] five years(在过去的五年中), it’s the first time…(第一次……)等；五要注意是否与被动语态综合考查，有时时态与语态综合考查，考生应在考虑时态的同时，根据句子主语与谓语动作的关系选择恰当的语态。
