8.2.2 現(xiàn)在進行時和動詞的關(guān)系

1) 有些動詞一般不能用于現(xiàn)在進行時,如第8.1.2節(jié)中的動詞,大部分都不宜用于進行時態(tài),因為它們表示狀態(tài)和感覺,不能表示正在進行的動作,特別是know, love, like, belong, detest, hate這類詞。不過有些詞有其他意思,有時能用于進行時,試比較下面句子:

表示狀態(tài)或感覺 表示動作(可用于進行時)

* * *

She has two sisters. 她有兩個姐妹。        She is having lunch. 她在吃午飯。

2) 有些表示動作的動詞有時轉(zhuǎn)而表示狀態(tài),這時就不宜用于進行時態(tài),如:
