过去完成时典型考题：
1. She stared at the painting, wondering where she ______ it.
A. saw B. has seen C. sees D. had seen
分析：D。因动词see所表示的动先于stare和wonder之前，所以它要用过去完成时。答案D。句意为：她盯着那幅画，琢磨着在哪看过这幅画。
2. —Were you surprised by the ending of the film?
—No, I ______ the book, so I already knew the story.
A. was reading B. had read C. am reading D. have read
分析：B。由于问句中用的时态是一般过去时(were)，说明对话双方是在谈论一部过去看过的电影;而根据so I already knew the story(所以我已经知道故事情节了)可知，说话者“看这本书”应该是在“看电影”之前，故用过去完成时。
3. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate what they ______ for me.
A. had done B. did C. would do D. were doing
分析：A。比较主句中的动词take与从句中的动词do，很显然do在先，take在后，而take在句中用的是一般过去时，故do要用过去完成时。
现在完成时典型考题：
1. —Have you known Dr. Jackson for a long time?
—Yes, since she ______ the Chinese Society.
A. has joined B. joins C. had joined D. joined
分析：D。since she join the Chinese Society为I have known Dr. Jackson since she join the Chinese Society之省略。连词since所搭配的时态通常是：主句用现在完成时，从句用一般过去时。
2. By the time he realizes he ______ into a trap, it’ll be too late for him to do anything about it.
A. walks B. walked C. has walked D. had walked
分析：C。此处用现在完成时表示影响或结果，句子大意为：等他意识到已步入陷阱时，他就来不及采取补救措施了。
3. —Did you go to the show last night?
—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area ______ invited.
A. were B. have been C. has been D. was
分析：D。此题既考查时态的用法，同时又考查主语一致。根据问句中的时态和last night这一短语可知，此处谈的是昨晚的事，故应用一般过去时，而不用现在完成时。另外，根据英语语法，当两个或多个名词并列作主语，且受到every的修饰时，其后谓语动词要用单数。故答案选D。
现在进行时的构成：
现在进行时由“am / is / are + 现在分词”构成。如：
I’m studying at Yu Cai Senior Middle school. 我在育才中学读书。
He is writing on the desk. 他再课桌上写字。
They are talking about their visiting the Great Wall. 他们在谈论游长城的事情。
【说明】动词现在分词的构成方法：
(1) 一般在动词后加-ing。如：say—saying, play—playing, think—thinking, study—studying, teach —teaching, blow—blowing, build—building.
(2) 动词若以-e结尾, 则去e再加-ing。如：love—loving, make—making, guide—guiding, date—dating.
(3) 在以单短元音的重读闭音节结尾，且末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词后，双写最后一个辅音字母，再加-ing。如：begin—beginning, regret—regretting, plan—planning, ban — banning.
(4) 在以ie结尾的动词后，改ie为y，再加-ing。如：lie—lying, die—dying, tie—tying.
(5) 在以-c[k] 结尾的动词后加-king。如：picnic—picnicking, panic—panicking.
