现在一般时（present tense）概念：表示通常性、规律性、习惯性、真理性的状态或者动作(有时间规律发生的事件)的一种时间状态。

常用结构：

1.主语+谓语+其他(表动作)
It never snows in Australia in December.
澳大利亚的12月里从来不下雪。
They usually go to school by bike.
他们通常骑自行车上学。
He writes to his father twice a month.
他每月写两次信给他爸爸。
2.主语+be+表语(表状态)
He is a student.
他是学生。
ⅠBe动词的一般现在时
主语+be(am , is , are)+其它
肯定句式:主语+be( am, is, are)+其它. 如，The color is blue.
否定句式:主语+be(am, is, are) +not +其它.如，The color is not blue.
一般疑问句:Be(am, is, are) +主语+其它?.
注:在这种构成中，be动词有人称和数的变化，即要根据主语选用am / is / are。Be动词分为单数和复数，am和is是表示单数，am只跟I搭配(除了I其余的单数都用is)，are表示复数。
Ⅱ 实义动词的一般现在时
① 主语(第三人称单数)+动词(第三人称单数形式)+其它
肯定句式:主语(第三人称单数)+动词(第三人称单数形式)+其它，如，He likes it
否定句式:主语(第三人称单数)+doesn’t+动词(原形)+其它.如：He dosen't like it.
一般疑问句:Does+主语(第三人称单数)+动词(原形)+其它? Does he like it?
② 主语(除了第三人称单数)+动词(原形)+其它
肯定句式:主语(除了第三人称单数)+动词(原形)+其它 如：I like it
否定句式:主语(除了第三人称单数)+don’t+动词(原形)+其它.如：I don't like it.
一般疑问句:Do+主语(除了第三人称单数)+动词(原形)+其它? Do you know it.
注:do、don’t和does、doesn’t是构成一般现在时的助动词，其特点是要在其后跟动词的原形。
