1.用于某些动词表示不确定的过去时间
用于某些动词(tell, say, hear, learn, gather等)表示不确定的过去时间。如:
John
tells me you will leave
tomorrow.
I hear
that he got married last
month.
Mary
says you told her to come over
here.
It
really gets me when he says those stupid
things.
2.
当给人讲故事或叙述自己亲身经历的事情时,虽然有些事已成为过去,往往也使用现在时,以使叙述显得生动有趣。如:
Then the
man in the mask pulls a revolverout of his pocket and raises it. I
put up my hands. Then suddenly the man raises the mask and I see my
best friend! It all was a
joke.
3.
现在一般时可以表死者的动作或状态,如果死者的理论、著作仍旧存在并仍有影响的话,如:
Marx
says that a foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of
life.
Darwin
当死者(多指死后不久者)的动作与现在直接有关时,亦可用现在一般时,如:
He
leaves a wife and two
children.
人虽死但物犹在时,亦可用现在一般时,如:
In that
letter she tells why she was up
there.
