他们去过很多有趣的地方。have/hasbeento表示“去过某地(已归)”，而have/hasgoneto表示“去某地了(未归)”。如：

IhavebeentoShanghai.

我己经去过上海了。（此时己经回来了）

ShehasgonetoShanghai.

她己经去上海了。（此时己经在去上海的路上或己经到达上海了）Languagepoints2.…they

thewords.

他们发现阿拉伯语的拼写和发音都不容易。本句中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式，hard是宾语补足语。再如：

WefinditimportanttolearnEnglishwell.

我们发现学好英语很重要。3.TheRobinsonsaremovingagain.

罗宾逊一家又要搬家了。这里的现在进行时并不表示正在发生的事情，而是表示即将发生的事情。英语中还有其他一些动词具有这样的特性，如come,go,leave等。例如：

He’scoming.

他马上就来了。

Thetrainisleavingthisafternoon.

列车下午发出。4.Theyarecountingdownthedays.

他们正在倒计时。

countdown表示“倒数，倒计时”。例如：

Wearecountingdownthedaysuntiltheendofthissemester.

我们正在进行期末倒计时。

count表示“计数，计算”。例如：

CanyoucountfromonetoteninFrench?

你能用法语从一数到十吗？Hegaveallthemoneytomewithoutcounting.

他数也没数就把钱全给了我。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.
