answers:(a)step2。detailedexplanationaboutthepresentperfectprogressivetense。 i。theformofthepresentperfectprogressivetense。 现在完成进行时由助动词havehasbeen动词ing形式构成。ii。thebasicusageofthepresentperfectprogressivetense。 1。表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作,这个动作是否继续下去,则由上下文决定。它常与表示一段时间的状语,如:allthistime,thisweek,thismonth,allnight,allthemorning,thesefewdays,for,since等连用。 例句:(1)liufanghasbeenlivingincanadasincethen。刘芳从那时以来一直住在加拿大。(动作仍继续下去)(2)ihavebeenwaitingforyouhereforanhour。我在这儿等了你一个小时。(动作刚终止)(3)hehasbeendoinghishomeworkallthismorning。他做了一上午作业。(动作可能继续下去)2。表示一直到说话时为止的一段时间内一再重复的动作。例句:(1)ihavebeenmeetingheratthelibrary。 我多次在图书馆遇见到她。(2)ihavebeentellingyoutobecarefulforweeks。这几个星期我一直在告诉你要小心。iii。themaindifferencesbetweenthepresentperfecttenseandthepresentperfectprogressivetense。 1。在不用时间状语的情况下,现在完成进行时表示动作仍在持续进行,而现在完成时则表示动作在过去已经结束。 例句:(1)wehavebeencleaningtheclassroom。我们一直在打扫教室。 (2)wehavecleanedtheclassroom。我们把教室打扫过了。(3)theyhavebeenwideningtheroad。他们一直在加工马路。(尚未完工)(4)theyhavewidenedtheroad。他们把马路拓宽了。(已经完工了) 2。现在完成进行时往往表示动作在重复,现在完成时则常常不带重复性。例句:(1)haveyoubeenmeetingherlately?你最近跟她见面吗?(有经常相会之意) (2)haveyoumetherlately?你最近跟她见过面了吗?(没有经常相会之意) 3。表示暂时性动作用现在完成进行时较好,而表示表示长时期的接近于状态的动作时,用现在完成时较好。例句:(1)hehasbeenstayingwithhisuncleduringthepasttwomonths。最近两个月他和他叔叔在一起(暂时性动作)(2)ihavebeenwaitingallthemorning。早晨我一直在等(暂时性动作) (3)ihavelivedhereallmylife。我一辈子一直住这儿。(长时期的接近于状态的动作)(4)wehaveworkedinthesouthsincewegraduated。毕业后我们一直在南方工作。(长时期的接近于状态的动作) 4。有些表示状态、感情、感觉的动词,如:have,exist,like,hate,hear,know,sound等,不能用于现在完成进行时,但可用于现在完成时。例句:(1)they’veknowneachothersince1970。(不用theyhavebeenknowing)自1970年起他们就认识了。 (2)johnhaslovedmarysincetenyearsago。约翰自十年前就爱上了玛丽。(3)hehasbeenherefortwodays。他在这儿两天了。(4)thepropertyhasbelongedtomyuncleduringthelasttenyears。十年来这财产一直是我叔叔的。 5。在否定句中一般用现在完成时而不用现在完成进行时。例句:(1)ihavenotspoken(而不说havenotbeenspeaking)englishfortwoyears。 (2)hehasneverseenamanlikehim。(3)hehashardlymetanamericaninthestreet。(4)ihavereceivednomoneyfrommyfamily。step3。practiceaboutthepresentperfectprogressivetense。
