核心规则（Grammar Core）
什么时候用？
一般现在时描述经常的、不变的、永远如此的事：
- 习惯和日常 — I read English books every day.
- 事实和真理 — The Earth goes around the Sun.
- 固定时刻表 — The train leaves at 8:15 tomorrow morning.
构成公式
| 句型 | 公式 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| 肯定 | S + V(s/es) | She plays the piano every evening. |
| Tom watches TV after dinner. | ||
| 否定 | S + do/does + not + V原形 | He doesn’t like coffee. |
| They don’t live near the school. | ||
| 疑问 | Do/Does + S + V原形? | Do you speak French? |
| Does she work on Saturdays? |
第三人称单数 · 加 s/es 规则
| 规则 | 例子 |
|---|---|
| 一般加 -s | play → plays, read → reads, eat → eats, walk → walks |
| 以 s/sh/ch/x/o 结尾加 -es | watch → watches, go → goes, wash → washes, fix → fixes |
| 辅音+y → 改 y 为 i 加 -es | study → studies, carry → carries, fly → flies, try → tries |
| 特殊 | have → has, do → does |
Culture Note 🇬🇧 英国人说 “He has got a car”，美国人说 “He has a car”——都是一般现在时，只是英式喜欢加个 got。你在书虫系列里两种都会遇到，因为大部分书虫原著是英国作家写的。

时间轴定位
过去 ←————————— 现在 ——————————→ 将来
↕
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ← 一般现在时：跨越时间的事实
"The sun rises in the east."
一般现在时不指向某个时刻，而是悬浮在时间之上——昨天太阳从东边升起，今天也是，明天还是。
对比辨析：一般现在时 vs 现在进行时 ⚠️
这是 KET 最爱考的一对：
| 一般现在时 | 现在进行时 |
|---|---|
| 经常/总是做的事 | 此刻正在做的事 |
| I play football on Sundays. | I am playing football now. |
| 信号词：always, usually, every day | 信号词：now, right now, at the moment |
Trap 错题陷阱 ❌
I am go to school every day.✅ I go to school every day. every day = 习惯 → 一般现在时，不用进行时！
信号词速查
| 信号词 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| every day/week/month/year | 每天/周/月/年 |
| always / usually / often | 总是/通常/经常 |
| sometimes / seldom / never | 有时/很少/从不 |
| on Mondays / on weekends | 每周一/每周末 |
| in the morning / at night | 在早上/在晚上 |
😂 Grammar Joke
一般现在时笑话
Teacher: “Tom, make a sentence using the present tense.” Tom: “I am handsome.” Teacher: “Good grammar, but that’s not a fact, Tom. Change it to past tense.” Tom: “I was handsome.” Teacher: “Now THAT is a fact.”
老师让 Tom 用一般现在时造句。Tom 说”我很帅”——语法对了，但老师说这不是事实，让他改成过去时。Tom 改成”我曾经很帅”。老师说：这才是事实。
语法点：一般现在时表达事实（facts），但不是所有句子都是事实！am/was 的切换就是现在时和过去时的核心区别。
🏛 语言文化光点
为什么英语动词要变形，中文不用？
中文说”我吃饭”、“他吃饭”——动词”吃”永远不变。英语说 “I eat” 但 “He eats”——动词跟着人称变化。
这是因为英语来自日耳曼语系，古英语（Old English, ~450-1100CE）动词变化比现代英语复杂得多。一千多年来变化在不断简化——到今天只剩下第三人称加 -s 这一点点残留。
所以每次你写 he/she/it 后面加 -s，你其实是在延续一千多年前盎格鲁-撒克逊人的语言习惯。
例题精讲
例1（📘 KET · Reading Part 2）
Fill in the blank:
My sister _____ (get) up at 7 o’clock every morning.
答案：gets。every morning = 习惯 → 一般现在时；sister = 第三人称单数 → 加 -s。
例2（📘 KET · Use of English）
Choose the correct answer:
“What _____ your father _____?” “He’s a doctor.” A. do … do B. does … do C. is … do
答案：B。问职业用一般现在时；your father = 第三人称单数 → does。
例3（📘 KET · 一般现在 vs 现在进行）
Look! The children _____ (play) in the garden. They usually _____ (play) there after school.
答案：are playing（Look! = 此刻 → 进行时）；play（usually = 习惯 → 一般现在时）。
例4（📙 PET · Writing Part 1 句型转换）
She goes swimming three times a week. She goes swimming _____ _____ _____ day.
答案：every other day（每隔一天 ≈ 一周三次）。PET 要求理解频率表达的同义转换。
例5（📕 FCE · 高级用法预览）
The novel tells the story of a young boy who dreams of becoming a knight.
文学作品的情节描述用一般现在时——即使故事发生在中世纪。这叫 literary present（文学现在时），书评、影评都用。Aaron 读书虫时注意：书虫的简介（blurb）用的就是这种时态。
📖 Real English · 真实阅读
🔵 Elon Musk’s Daily Routine
Elon Musk runs two giant companies — Tesla and SpaceX. He works about 80 to 100 hours every week. He usually skips breakfast, but he drinks a lot of coffee. He sleeps only about six hours a night. “I don’t think anyone likes working that much,” he says. “But if you want to change the world, you have to work hard.”
🔵 Why Do Cats Purr?
Scientists believe that cats purr for many reasons. A cat purrs when it feels happy, but it also purrs when it is sick or scared. The sound comes from muscles in the cat’s throat. These muscles open and close the airway about 25 times per second. Some researchers think that purring actually helps cats heal faster. So next time your cat purrs, it doesn’t always mean it is happy — it might need your help.
🔵 The British Royal Family
The King of England lives in Buckingham Palace. Every day, a flag flies above the palace — if the King is at home, it is the Royal Standard. If he is not at home, they fly the Union Jack instead. Thousands of tourists visit the palace every year. They come from all over the world to watch the Changing of the Guard, which takes place at 11:00 a.m.
📝 中文注释（先读完英文再展开）
马斯克的日常：马斯克经营两家巨头公司——特斯拉和 SpaceX。每周工作80-100小时，通常跳过早餐但喝大量咖啡，每晚只睡约6小时。注意全文使用一般现在时描述习惯性日常。skips/drinks/sleeps 都是第三人称单数加 -s。
猫为什么打呼噜：科学家认为猫打呼噜有很多原因——高兴时、生病时、害怕时都会。声音来自喉部肌肉每秒开合25次。注意 believes/purrs/feels/comes 等第三人称形式，以及 doesn’t always mean 的否定句结构。
英国王室：国王住在白金汉宫。宫殿上方每天飘着旗帜——国王在家挂皇家旗，不在家挂米字旗。每年成千上万游客来看卫兵换岗仪式（上午11点）。注意 lives/flies/is/visit/come 的一般现在时表达事实和惯例。
