I have already seen the film. I don’t want to see it again.He has just finished his homework.All the tickets have sold out.I have never talked with Mr. Li before.二、基本结构1.肯定句:主语 + have/has + 过去分词+...E.g. I have bought many books about European history.They have finished the housework.2.否定句:主语 + have/has + not + 过去分词+...E.g. The Simpsons haven’t been to Canada since the day they left.Eric hasn’t got his plane ticket yet.3.一般疑问句结构及回答:—Have/Has+主语+过去分词+... —Yes, 主语+have/has. /No, 主语+haven’t/hasn’t.E.g. — Have you ever read Sherlock Holmes — Yes, I have./No, I haven’t.— Has he decided which book to write about yet — Yes, he has./No, he hasn’t.三、动词的过去分词1.规则变化的构成方法:①一般在词尾直接加-ed:E.g.help—helped②以不发音的e结尾的动词,词尾加-d:E.g.live—lived③以“辅音字母+y”结尾的动词,先将y变成i, 再加-ed:E.g.carry—carried④以重读闭音节结尾,且末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词,先双写该辅音字母,再加-ed:E.g.stop—stopped2.不规则动词的变化形式原形—过去式—过去分词be—was/were—been find—found—founddo—did—done have—had—hadeat—ate—eaten make—made—madego—went—gone let—let—letsee—saw—seen put—put—put四、现在完成时与一般过去时的区别现在完成时与一般过去时都表示在过去做的动作,但现在完成时强调这一动作与现在的关系,如对现在产生的结果、影响等; 一般过去时则只表示过去的事实,不表示和现在的关系。所以,一些表示过去的固定时间状语只能与一般过去时连用,如ago,last或由when(何时)引起的问句都不能与现在完成时连用。E.g.
