Simple Present and Present Progressive Introduction
::简单现在和现在进行时渐进式介绍Because we often change verb tense when we write in English, it is easy to make errors in verb forms and verb tenses we choose. Understanding how and why we shift between different kinds of common verb tenses in academic writing will help you to see and fix some of these errors.
::因为我们常常在用英语写时改变动词时态,所以很容易在动词形式和动词时态中做出错误。 理解我们如何和为什么在学术写作中在不同类型的动词时态之间转换,将有助于你发现和修正其中的一些错误。Before you watch the video below, print the worksheet below or use it to help you take notes on the video.

::S+ do do + 不+ + 基动词 *+ 对象Helping verbs do and not are added to the sentence.
::帮助动词是起作用的, 而不是被添加到句子中 。Do + subject + base verb + object
::执行+主题+基动词+天体Helping verbs do and not are added to the sentence.
::帮助动词是起作用的, 而不是被添加到句子中 。Base verb
::基动词A base verb is an unmodified verb form. This means it is the verb before we change it to agree with a subject or be a specific tense. For example, teach is the base verb of to teach. This is important to understand because in the negative and the question form of sentences, the verb we change becomes the helping verb (in this case, do) NOT the main verb.Click here for a

Simple Present in Academic Writing
::简单的学术写作In academic writing, the simple present is one of the most common verb tenses. This is because we consider written knowledge to be .
::在学术写作中,简单现时是最常见的动词时态之一。 这是因为我们认为书面知识是。Example:
::示例:Cats are better than dogs because they are independent, have more physical strength and provide the same amount of affection.
::猫比狗好,因为他们是独立的, 更体力, 提供同样多的感情。Even though this statement is arguable (in other words, not a fact that everyone will agree on), the writer uses the simple present. When we communicate information in writing that we think is generally true, we use simple present. Not all sentences in academic writing are in simple present, but, you will notice that many are.
::尽管这一声明是可论证的(换句话说,不是每个人都会同意的事实),但作者却使用简单的礼物。 当我们以书面传递我们认为一般是真实的信息时,我们使用简单的礼物。 不是所有学术著作的句子都是简单的,但你会注意到其中有很多。We also use the simple present almost every time we quote another person's writing. Of course, there are always situations that do not follow the rules, but this is a great rule to follow for clear and correct academic writing.
::我们几乎每次引用他人的著作时都会使用简单的现时。 当然,总是有不遵守规则的情况,但这是清晰而正确的学术写作所遵循的一条伟大的规则。Example:
::示例:Tom Bawden, a reporter for The Independent says , " The research finds that cats have played a significant role in making 40 dog species extinct...".
::《独立报》的记者Tom Bawden说, “研究发现猫在使40只狗物种灭绝方面起了重要作用。”The reporting verb says is in simple present because the writer is quoting from another text. Almost every time we quote from another text, we will use simple present.
::报告动词说,之所以简单,是因为作者引用的是另一个文本,几乎每次我们引用另一个文本时,我们都会使用简单的文本。Finally, simple present tense gives your writing a confident tone - the sound of your writing in the reader's mind, much like the sound of your voice when you speak. In U.S. culture, we value confidence in tone. When you are writing about something you feel confident is true or feel strongly about, the simple present tense gives your writing a sense of strength.
::最后,简单的当前时态给了你写作一个自信的基调--你在读者心目中写作的声音,就像你说话时的声音。在美国文化中,我们珍视对音调的信心。当你在写一些你觉得有信心的东西时,你觉得自己是真实的或强烈的,那么简单的当前时态就给了你写作的力量感。Example:
::示例:For these reasons, as well as others, cats are much better pets than dogs.
::由于这些原因以及其他原因,猫是比狗更好的宠物。Again, this may not be a truth that everyone agrees on, but this writer feels strongly about their opinion. They would likely not be writing about it if they did not feel strongly. Therefore, the simple present is a great tense to choose.
::同样,这也许不是每个人都同意的真理,但这位作家对他们的观点非常强烈,如果他们不强烈,他们很可能不会写出来。 因此,简单的现在是一个非常紧张的选择。
Present Progressive in Academic Writing
::目前学术写作进步Use the present progressive anytime you discuss research or actions that are currently happening.
::在讨论研究或行动时,请随时使用当前进步的版本。For example:
::例如:Scientists are currently conducting a study about ways that cats have survived longer than dogs.
::科学家目前正在研究猫比狗活得更长的方法。*Notice the adverb currently is placed between the helping verb and the main verb.
::* 注意到目前在帮助动词和主动词之间放置的副词。Careful though, to avoid using continuous tenses for about feelings or senses, even if they are currently happening.
::不过要小心,避免使用持续时态来表达感情或感官,即使它们正在发生。Example:
::示例:Scientists hope to find out what kinds of abilities allowed cats to survive in the ancient past.
::科学家希望找出 什么样的能力 使猫得以生存 在古老的过去。The word hope is a feeling, so even though the scientists are experiencing this feeling right now, we need to use the simple present.
::希望这个词是一种感觉, 所以尽管科学家们现在正在体验这种感觉, 我们需要使用简单的现在。
