动词时态典型易错题分析：
【典型考题】“Your phone number again? I _____ quite catch it.” “It’s 4331577”
A. didn’t B. couldn’t
C. don’t D. can’t
【易错陷阱】此题容易误选C，认为此处要用一般现在时态，表示现在“没听清对方的话”。
【思路分析】其实，此题答案应选A，根据上文的语境“请把你的电话号码再说一遍好吗?”可知“没听清对方的电话号码”应是在说此话以前，故应用一般过去时态。请看以下类似试题：
(1) “Mr Smith isn’t coming tonight.” “ But he _____.”
A. promises B. promised C. will promise D. had promised
答案选B，“他答应(要来)”应发生在过去。
(2) “Hey, look where you are going!” “Oh, I’m terribly sorry. _____.”
A. I’m not noticing B. I wasn’t noticing C. I haven’t noticed D. I don’t notice
答案选B，“我没注意”是对方提醒之前的事，现经对方一提醒，当然注意到了。
(3) “Oh it’s you ! I ________ you.” “I’ve had my hair cut.”
A. didn’t realize B. haven’t realized C. didn’t recognize D. don’t recognized
答案选C。“没认出是你”是说此话之前的事，说此话时显然已经认出了对方。
(4) “What’s her new telephone number?” “Oh, I _____.”
A. forget B. forgot C. had forgotten D. am forgetting
此题应选A，从语境上看，“忘记”的时间应是现在，即指现在不记得了。
(5) “Since you’ve agreed to go, why aren’t you getting ready?” “But I ______ that you would have me start at once.”
A. don’t realize B. didn’t realize C. hadn’t realized D. haven’t realized
答案选B。“没意识到”是对方提醒之前的事。
(6) “It’s twelve o’clock, I think I must be off now.” “Oh, really? I ______ it at all.”
A. don’t realize B. haven’t realized C. didn’t realize D. hadn’t realized
答案选C。“没意识到”是在听到的话之前的事。
英语现在进行时的用法：
一、如何理解现在进行时
顾名思义，现在进行时就是指说话时正在进行的动作或发生的情况。如汉语说的“我在看书”“他在吃饭”“火车在行驶”“秘书在打字”等，在英语中都要用现在进行进来表达，因为它们所涉及的动作在说话的时刻都正在进行。
二、现在进行时的构成与用法
现在进行时由“am / is / are + 现在分词”构成。如：
She is still sleeping. 她还在睡觉。
We are waiting for the rain to stop. 我们在等雨停。
They are playing quietly now. 他们在安静地玩着。
英语过去将来时的用法：
1. was / were about to + 动词原形：表示在过去看来即将要发生的动作，由于本身已含有“即将”的意味，所以不再表示具体的过去时间状语连用。如：
I was about to go to bed when the phone rang. 电话铃响时我正好要上床睡。
I couldn’t go to Tom’s party as I was about to go into hospital. 我就要住院，所以不能参加汤姆办的晚会了。
2. was / were +现在分词：表示在过去看来即将发生的动作。如：
Jack said he was leaving tomorrow. 杰克说他打算明天动身。
She didn’t say whether she was coming to lunch. 她没有说她是否来吃午饭。
注意，并不是所有动词都具有这样的用法，通常可用于该句型中动词是come, go, leave, arrive, begin, start, stop, close, open, die, join, borrow, buy等瞬间动词。
