英语学习lesson 2

lesson 1 中的语法

一般现在时：在英语当中，当我们想说一件事情是重复发生的，是以一定的频率发生的时候，就要用到一般现在时。所以，虽然这个时态叫“现在时”，但并不代表是现在发生的动作，而是表示一种一般情况。

 

我总是在8点起床。I always get up at 8.

我爸爸从不做早饭。My dad never makes breakfast.

我的朋友们有时候会一起做作业。My friends sometimes do homework together.

 

一般现在时与现在进行时的区别：一般现在时表达的就是一种普遍的状态，以一定的频率发生的重复事件，经常搭配表频率的副词；现在进行时通常是正在发生的事件。

原文

Breakfast or lunch

 

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. "What a day!" I thought. "It's raining again." Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. "I've just arrived by train," she said, "I'm coming to see you." 

"But I'm still having breakfast," I said. 
"What are you doing?" she asked. 
"I'm having breakfast," I repeated.
"Dear me," she said. "Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock! "
