时态(tense)是一种动词形式，不同的时态用以表示不同的时间与方式。它是表示行为、动作、状态在各种时间条件下的动词形式，下面是小编收集整理的八年级下英语时态专题，大家一起来看看吧!   八年级下英语时态专题：   ( ) 1.—You never told us why you were late for the meeting,____?   — _______. I think it is not necessary to explain.(呼和浩特2010)   A.weren’t you; No B. did you; No C. did you; Yes D. didn’t you; No   解析：选B. 此题较难，学生非常容易选错。 首先此题容易排除A, D. 因为句中有否定词never, 反义疑问句的原则是前否后肯。在反义疑问句回答中，如果事实是肯定的，就用肯定回答，反之，则用否定回答。根据下句：没有必要解释，说明“你”没有告诉我为什么你迟到了。   ( ) 2. — What is your little brother like? —________ . He enjoys telling jokes.(青岛10)   A. He is tall and thin B. He is shy and quiet. C. He is outgoing and funny. D. He is strong and heavy.   解析：What is your little brother like?既可以用来询问人的外貌，也可以询问人的性格特征，根据He enjoys telling jokes.说明他外向、滑稽。  

  ( ) 3. Jim’s father got very angry _________ .( 10西宁)   A.with that he had done B. with what he had done C. at what he had done D. at what had he done   解析：选C. 此题容易误选B. be/get/become angry with sb对某人生气，be/get/become angry at sth对某事生气。 所做的事发生在生气之前，宾语从句用陈述句语序，故选择C.   ( ) 4. —What are on show in the museum?   —Some photos _______ by the children of Yushu, Qinghai.(兰州10)   A. have been taken B. were taken C. are taken D. taken   解析： 选D. 此题学生最容易出错，误选B. 当然有的老师也会出错。此题考查过去分词作定语。此句子其实是个省略句，完整句中应该是：Some photos taken by the children of Yushu, Qinghai are on show in the museum.   ( ) 5. —He didn’t go to the lecture this morning, did he?   — _____ . Though he was not feeling very well.(兰州10)   A. No, he didn’t B. Yes; he did C. No, he did D. Yes, he didn’t   解析：选B. 此题考查附加疑问句的回答，在附加疑问句中，如果事实是肯定的，就用肯定回答，反之，则用否定回答。根据下句：Though he was not feeling very well.尽管他感到不舒服，可知他去了。   过去完成时典型考题：   1. —It was really very kind of you to give me a lift home.   —Oh, don’t mention it. I ______ past your house anyway.   A. was coming B. will come C. had come D. have come   分析：A。根据前面一句中的was可知，搭车的事发生在过去，所以“我开车要经过你的家门口”也发生在过去，因此可排除B和D。而在剩下的A和C中，不能选C，是因为C为过去完成时，表示“过去的过去”，与句意不符。     2. I ______ there little more than a week when I set to work with the scientist.   A. would be B. have been C. had been D. will be   分析：C。由于set to work with the scientist这一动作发生在过去，而be there与set to work的先后关系是：be there在先，set to work在后。所以be there发生的时间属于“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。   3. The play had already been on for quite some time when we ______ at the New Theatre.   A. have arrived B. arrived C. had arrived D. arrive   分析：B。由于句中的had already been用的是过去完成时，而根据句意，arrive显然应发生在其后，故要用一般过去时。全句意为：当我们到达新剧院时，戏已经演了好一会儿了。   现在完成时典型考题：   1. I ______ in London for many years, but I’ve never regretted my final decision to move back to China.   A. lived B. was living　 C. have lived D. had lived   分析：A。许多同学一看到后面的have never regretted为现在完成时，同时选项C也是现在完成时，结果滥用时态呼应，将答案误选C。其实，此题的*答案是A。句中but后的句子告诉我们，说话者现在已搬回了上海，所以他住在伦敦应属于过去的事情，故应用一般过去时。   2. We ______ our new neighbors yet, so we don’t know their names.   A. don’t meet B. won’t meet C. haven’t met D. hadn’t met   分析：C。后文我们还不知道邻居的名字，这说明我们还没有见面，故用现在完成时。   3. Danny ______ hard for long to realize his dream and now he is popular.   A. works B. is working C. has worked D. worked   分析：C。表示从过去一直待续到现在的一段时间，要用现在完成时。   过去进行时的用法：   动词hope, wonder等的过去进行时常用来表示提出要求，虽然表示现在的内容，但语气比一般现在时或一般过去时要委婉。如：   I was hoping you would give me some advice. 我希望你给我出点主意。   Good morning. I was wondering if you had two single rooms. 早上好，我不知道你们是否有两个单人房间。   一般过去时也有类似用法，相比之处，一般过去时通常表示主语的行为是经过认真考虑的，而过去进行时则多表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。
