Grammar Learning现在完成时与现在完成进行时1. 二者基本概念1) 现在完成时用来 :• 谈论新闻和新近行为。 We have made a demo CD!• 谈论完成的动作。可以不明确地说该动作是什么

时间发生的，但可以说它发生了多少次。 We have already played more than thirty gigs.

2) 现在完成进行时用来 : We have already played more than thirty gigs. • 谈论开始于过去，现在仍在进行的动作或行为。 I have been writing songs since I was sixteen.• 谈论对现在有影响的过去行为，而且这种影响还

可能继续。 I have been writing songs all day – I’m exhausted.

2. 二者区别1 ）现在完成进行时有时有延续性，现在完成时往往

没有。如：　　 a. He has been repairing his bike.　　 b. He has repaired his bike.　　 a 句的意思是他一直在修理自行车，但尚未完成； b 句的意思则是已完工了。

2) 现在完成进行时比较生动，有时含有明显的感情色彩，而现在完成时往往只说明一个事实，一种影响或结果，平铺直叙，没有什么感情色彩可言。如：　　 a. What have you been doing?　　 B. What have you done ？　 a 句表示惊异 , 而 b 句只是一个问题。
