最常用时态
书面表达还需要考生准确地运用英语最基本的五个时态,如果时态运用自如，考生就能够应对各种时间条件的文章，因此，对于时态掌握不太好的考生，平时可以进行五种基本时态的造句训练。
英文最常用的时态有五个：一般现在时；现在进行时；一般过去时；一般将来时和现在完成时。
1. 一般现在时：用动词原型表示，但单数第三人称后要加-s，一般现在时表示经常性或习惯性的动作。
【例句】We always care for each other and help each other。
2. 现在进行时：用助动词be的人称形式加现在分词构成，主要表示现在或现在这一阶段正在进行的动作。
【例句】Where are they having the basket-ball match？
