他們去過很多有趣的地方。have/hasbeento表示“去過某地(已歸)”，而have/hasgoneto表示“去某地了(未歸)”。如：

IhavebeentoShanghai.

我己經去過上海了。（此時己經回來了）

ShehasgonetoShanghai.

她己經去上海了。（此時己經在去上海的路上或己經到達上海了）Languagepoints2.…they

thewords.

他們發(fā)現(xiàn)阿拉伯語的拼寫和發(fā)音都不容易。本句中it是形式賓語，真正的賓語是動詞不定式，hard是賓語補足語。再如：

WefinditimportanttolearnEnglishwell.

我們發(fā)現(xiàn)學好英語很重要。3.TheRobinsonsaremovingagain.

羅賓遜一家又要搬家了。這里的現(xiàn)在進行時并不表示正在發(fā)生的事情，而是表示即將發(fā)生的事情。英語中還有其他一些動詞具有這樣的特性，如come,go,leave等。例如：

He’scoming.

他馬上就來了。

Thetrainisleavingthisafternoon.

列車下午發(fā)出。4.Theyarecountingdownthedays.

他們正在倒計時。

countdown表示“倒數(shù)，倒計時”。例如：

Wearecountingdownthedaysuntiltheendofthissemester.

我們正在進行期末倒計時。

count表示“計數(shù)，計算”。例如：

CanyoucountfromonetoteninFrench?

你能用法語從一數(shù)到十嗎？Hegaveallthemoneytomewithoutcounting.

他數(shù)也沒數(shù)就把錢全給了我。1.—Haveyou _______beentoLondon?—No.Ihaven’t.A.just B.ever C.never D.even2.Henry______thiscarforayear.A.hasboughtB.havehadC.haveboughtD.hashad3.Theywere_____aboutthis____footballmatch.A.excited;excited B.exciting;excitedC.excited:exciting D.exciting;excitingBDCExercise4.—Ihaven'tseenJaneforalongtime.
