Unit 4
Humour
Lesson 1 (Grammar)
Learning Objectives
PART. 01
Understand the daily study and life of British middle school students by watching videos. Based on your own daily study and life, compare the study and life in Chinese and British schools, and find out the similarities and differences between the two. Talk about your first impression of high school life, and have a preliminary perception of the study and life in the senior high school stage.
Learning Objectives
Identify and use continuous tenses (present perfect continuous, past perfect continuous, future continuous). Analyze sentences from stories to determine tense functions, complete sentences with appropriate tenses, and apply them in discussions about jokes/humour.
Explore how language (via continuous tenses) shapes humorous narratives. Understand that cultural humour often relies on precise tense usage to convey timing, duration, and context, reflecting how different cultures use language to create and appreciate jokes.
Analyze sentences to distinguish continuous tense types, interpreting their impact on meaning (e.g., duration, completion). In pair work, apply continuous tenses to rewrite or invent jokes, innovating within grammatical and humorous frameworks to personalize content.
Use “grammar-in-context” strategies to master continuous tenses. By independently analyzing tenses, completing writing tasks, and reflecting on joke structures, students take ownership of learning.

Continuous tenses (進行時態)
一、現在完成進行時
1. 構成
由“have/has been +動詞的現在分詞”構成，第三人稱單數用 has，其他人稱用 have。
2. 用法
（1）表示從過去開始一直持續到現在的動作，該動作在說話時仍在繼續進行，可能還要繼續下去，也可能剛剛結束。這個時態常和 recently、all day、this week 等狀語或 for、since 引導的時間狀語從句連用。
She has been cleaning the house all day. It looks tidy now.
她一整天都在打掃房子。
They have been running in the park for an hour every morning.
他們每天早上都會在公園跑步一小時。
（2）帶有某種感彩。
Recently, our class has been collecting books for the rural primary school.
最近，我們班一直在給鄉村小學募集圖書。（正面、贊許情感 ）
I’m so tired! I’ve been waiting for the bus at this stop for half an hour.
我好累啊！我已經在這個站點等公交車等了半小時了。（抱怨、疲憊情緒）
You have been cleaning the house! The living room is spotless now. Thanks!
你一直在打掃房子啊！客廳現在一塵不染。謝謝！（驚喜與感謝）
Look at Lily! She has been practicing the piano for 3 hours. No wonder she plays so well now.
看莉莉！她已經練了3小時鋼琴。難怪現在彈這么好。（對她專注練琴的肯定）
（3）不能用現在完成進行時的情況
①某些不能用于進行時的動詞同樣也不能用于現在完成進行時，只能用現在完成時。如：see、hear、know、have、like、be 等。
她從小時候就喜歡古典音樂。
錯誤：She has been liking classical music since she was a child.
正確：She has liked classical music since she was a child.
②不具有延續意義的動詞，如：finish、come、go、marry等不能用于現在完成進行時。
他們已經結婚十年了。
錯誤：They have been marrying for ten years.
正確：They have been married for ten years.
二、過去完成進行時
1. 定義與構成
過去完成進行時表示過去某時開始并持續到過去某時的動作。過去完成進行時的構成為：had been+動詞-ing形式。
His eyes were red. It was obvious that he had been working too hard.
他的眼睛紅了，顯然前一段時間他工作太緊張了。
2. 用法
（1）過去完成進行時所表示的動作與過去的時間的關系，可以用時間狀語來表示，也可以通過上下文來表示。
By the end of last month they had been working here for about ten days.
到上個月末為止，他們在這里工作大約有十天了。
When Alice came to life, she did not know how long she had been lying there.
當愛麗絲蘇醒時，她不知道她已經在那兒躺了多久。
（2）像 work、study、stay、sing、teach、wait等延續性動詞與表示一段時間的時間狀語連用時，用過去完成進行時可以表示一個動作一直延續到過去某一時刻，通常強調動作的持續性和不間斷性。
She had been studying for two hours when her classmate came to visit her.
當她的同學來看她的時候，她學習有兩個小時了。
I had been waiting at the bus stop for 20 minutes when a bus finally came.
當車來的時候，我在車站已經等了20分鐘。
三、將來進行時
1. 定義與構成
將來進行時表示將來某時持續進行的動作。將來進行時的構成為：will/shall be+動詞-ing形式。

明天他來我家時，我將正在即將到來的面試做準備。
2. 用法
（1）表示將來某一時間正在進行的動作，一般有時間狀語。

今晚你用自行車嗎？
（2）表示現在正在進行的動作，但這個動作會持續到將來。
