现代英语发展动态之我见

b)将来时态大有be going to代替will,shall之势。这儿的going已失去原有词义,实际上已成了一个新的助动词,与后面to连成一体,还出现了用gonna

代替going to,这个新词用法相当普遍。如:We’re going to clean this.已成为

We’re gonna clean this.

c)在完成时态中的have用法也在变化,由弱化而逐步消失。如： 由He has done his homework.变为He’s done his homework.再变到He done his homework.

d)助动词do在疑问句中,特别是第二人称作主语时,常被省掉。如：What do

you want?—What you want?

B.进行时态的扩展

有些动词,如wish, want, hope, like, forget, remember, find等,原来不能用于进行时态的,但目前在现代英语中,尤其在日常口语中使用这些动词于进行时态日趋广泛,这样用是为了强调当时的具体情景。如:How are you liking

Beijing? Aren’t you forgetting Jack? I was just wanting to thank him.等。

(2)句型方面的变化

英语中除了特殊疑问句、一般疑问句、选择疑问句与反意疑问句之外,近来随着英语的进一步现代化,又出现了一种新颖的疑问句—陈述疑问句(the statement question),而且使用日趋广泛、普及。如：He is your brother?

They will go with us tomorrow? 使用这类陈述疑问句主要是表示“诚挚地提出问意”,根据推断预期可以得到肯定的回答,或用于表示怀疑、不相信的语句中。如：You don't believe that? You understand it better now? 另外还常用于快速地提出一连串问题,以节省时间。如：You understand how to use that word?
