学习英语时态，我们可以总结和对比一下英语中常见的时态例句。下面小编告诉你英语的时态例句，大家一起来看看吧!英语的时态例句：1.一般现在时：I always swim in the afternoon.It is usually sunny.He always swims in the afternoon.He feels very relaxed.2.现在将来时：I will swim tomorrow afternoon.I am not going to have any classes.He will swim tomorrow afternoon.He is going to have a swimming test.3.现在进行时：I am swimming in the gym with my classmates now.I want to improve my swimming skill.He is swimming in the gym with his classmates now.He likes swimming very much.4.现在完成时：I have already swum for nearly an hour. I enjoyed myself very much.He has already swum for nearly an hour. He felt a little bit tired.5.一般过去时：I swam yesterday afternoon.I didn"t do my homework.He swam yesterday afternoon.He had nothing to do at that time.这个forget的时态要小心：请看下面的题目：“I _________ his telephone number.” “I have his number, but I _________ to bring my phone book.”A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgotC. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget【分析】此题容易误选A，认为“忘记”是现在的事。仔细体会一下对话的语境：第一个人说“我忘记他的电话号码了”，这个“忘记”应该是现在的事，即现在忘记了，要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了，故第一空应填 forget;第二个人说“我有他的号码，但我忘记带电话本了”，这个“忘记”应该是过去的事，即过去忘记带电话本，所以现在电话本不在身上(注意句中的转折连词 but)，故第二空应填 forgot。请再看一例：— Oh, I _________ where he lives.— Don’t you carry you address book?No, I _________ to bring it.A. forget, forget B. forgot, forgotC. forget, forgot D. forgot, forget答案选C，理由同上。in case 后从句的时态：■原则上说，若主句为现在时态，则从句也用现在时态;主句为过去时态，从句也用过去时态。如：I always keep candles in the house in case there is a power cut. 我家里常备有蜡烛，以防断电。I wrote down her address in case I forgot it. 我记下了她的住址，免得忘了。He wasn’t going to use his car in case somebody recognized it. 他不打算用自己的汽车，因为怕有人认出他的车。■有时从句也可用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气(不管主句为现在时态还是过去时态)。如：I don’t let him go out in this weather in case he should catch cold. 我不让他这种天气出去以防他会感冒。I’ve bought a chicken in case your friend should stay to lunch. 我买了一只鸡，免得你的朋友万一留下来吃午饭没菜。■注意，当主句为将来时态时，从句谓语不能用将来时态，而要用一般现在时表示将来意义。如：I’ll keep a seat for you in case you change your mind. 我给你留一个座位，以防你会改变主意。与in the past连用的时态：介词短语 in the past 在句中用时间状语时，既可以连用一般过去时，也可以连和现在完成时，两者的区别是：用一般过去时，客观地叙述过去的情况;用现在完成时，强调持续到现在的状态或对现在影响。一、与一般过去时连用In the past, people had fewer expectations. 过去，人们的希求要少一些。The capital of England is London. In the past it was Winchester. 英国现在的首都是伦敦，过去是温切斯特。In the past he had to read by candlelight. 过去他只得在烛光下攻读。In the past, people thought it was their religious duty to give alms to the poor. 过去，人们认为给穷人施舍是他们的宗教义务。In the past, bear-baiting was a common form of entertainment in Britain. 过去，纵狗逗熊是英国人的一种常见娱乐方式。In the past, a woman needed to be chaste to make a good marriage. 过去，女子要想有个好的婚姻就得守贞洁。In the past, navigation depended on a knowledge of the positions of the stars. 过去，航行依靠人们对星星位置知识的了解。In the past, navigation depended largely on the positions of the stars. 过去，航行在很大程度上依靠星星的位置。Today, people are much more concerned about their health than they were in the past. 现在人们比过去更关注自己的健康。二、与现在完成时连用The two sides will have to be better and tougher than either has beenin the past. 双方都必须比过去更好一些、更强硬一些。They have been so feather-bedded in the past that they can’t cope with hardship now. 他们一直娇生惯养，所以现在过不了苦日子。In the past this process of transition has often proved difficult. 过去这种过渡过程常证明是困难的。In the past they’ve tended to turn a deaf ear to such requests. 过去他们对这样的请求从来都是置若罔闻的。We have achieved much in the past, and we may hope to achieve even more in the future. 过去我们已取得很大成绩，将来我们希望取得更大的成绩。
