동사의 시제(Tense)

동사의 시제(Tense)                          


Ⅰ. 동사의 활용

- 동사는 사물의 동작.상태를 나타내는 품사로, 문의 구성상 술어가 되는 핵심 역할을 한다.

- 술어의 역할을 할 때, 원형(Root), 과거형(Past), 과거분사형(Past Participle)의  세 기본형이 있다.

- 이 세 기본형의 변화를 동사의 활용이라고 한다.


1. 현재시제


1) 형식 :

- be, have 동사를 제외한 일반동사는 3인칭 단수에 -s, -es를 붙이는 것 외에는 모두 원형과 같다.


2) 현재시제의 용법

① 현재의 사실.

  • He lives in England.
  • I see he swimming in the pool.

② 현재의 습관적인 동작, 직업, 성격, 능력...

  • I get up at six every morning.
  • He teaches English.
  • He never takes sugar in his coffee.

③ 불변의 진리, 사실, 속담.

  • Two and two make four.
  • The sun rises in the east.
  • The moon shines at night.
  • The earth moves round the sun.
  • Honesty is the best policy.

④ 역사적 현재 : 과거의 사실을 눈앞에 생생하게 표현하는 수사적 용법.

  • In the end Hamlet kills Claudius and avenges his father's death.
  • Caesar crosses the Rubicon and enters Italy.

⑤ 옛사람, 옛날 책에 쓰인 말을 인용할 때 현재형을 씀으로서 생생한 표현이 된다.

  • Dryden says that none but the brave deserve(s) the fair.

    (드라이든이 말하길 용자만이 미인을 얻을 수 있다.)

⑥ 미래시제 대용.

- 왕래발착(往來發着)동사 go, come, start, leave, arrive, depart, meet, return, sail, ride, begin 등

- 미래를 나타내는 부사(구)와 함께 쓰여 현재시제나 현재진행형의 형태로 미래를 나타낸다.

  • He starts (= will start) for seoul tomorrow morning.
  • I am going to Busan tomorrow.

⑦ 시간.조건의 부사절에서 미래 대용 (명사절이나 형용사절에서는 미래 시제를 그대로 쓴다)

  • I will not start if it rains tomorrow. (부사절)
  • I shall be ready when you come back. (부사절)
  • I will go fishing if it is(be) fine tomorrow. (부사절)
  • I don't know if it will rain tomorrow. (명사절)
  • I want to know when he will come back. (명사절)

2. 과거시제의 용법


① 과거의 동작, 상태, 습관, 경험.

  • He would often sit up till late at night. (would + VR : 과거의 불규칙적 습관)

② 과거형이 과거완료를 대신하는 경우.

- when, after, till, before, as soon as 등의 접속사는 시간의 전후관계가 명확하므로 과거완료 시제를 쓸 필요가 없음.

  • When I finished (= had finished) the work, I went out.
  • I went out after I finished the work.
  • The train started before I reached the station.

    ⓐ The ice is going to crack.(얼음이 방금 깨지려고 한다) = be about to + VR

    ⓑ The party is going to be a great success. (∼할 것이다)

2) 과거진행형 (was, were + ∼ing)
