    課文內(nèi)容:
    Mr James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.
    本文語(yǔ)法:現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)
    現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)結(jié)構(gòu):has/have+done(動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞形式)
    語(yǔ)法歸納:
    指過(guò)去已經(jīng)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,可能已經(jīng)完成,但對(duì)現(xiàn)在仍有影響,也可能還將延續(xù),強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響和結(jié)果。在現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)句子中常常存在一些重要的時(shí)間標(biāo)志詞,這些標(biāo)志詞分別是:just剛剛,recently近,already已經(jīng),in the past過(guò)去,so far到目前為止,yet仍然,ever曾經(jīng),up till now到目前為止,since自從……以來(lái),等等。
