三、一般現在時考點
一般現在時主要表示現在的特征、狀態、經常性動作或客觀事實等。如：
1. Months ago we sailed ten thousand miles across this open sea, which _________ the Pacific, and we met no storms. (遼寧卷)
A. was called B. is called C. had been called D. has been called
【分析】答案選 B。因為這是客觀事實，故用一般現在時。
注：有關一般現在時的另一個考點是，在時間狀語從句和條件狀語從句中，要用一般現在時表示將來意義，而不能直接用將來時態。此時要特別注意的是，命題人有可能會設置形式上與狀語從句相似且容易混淆的賓語從句作為命題切入點。如：
2. "What would you do if it _________tomorrow?" "We have to carry it on, since we've got everything ready." (全國卷I)
A. rain B. rains C. will rain D. is raining
【分析】答案選 B。即在條件句中用一般現在時表示將來意義。
3. As soon as he comes back, I'll tell him when _________and see him. (北京卷)
A. you will come B. will you come C. you come D. do you come
【分析】答案選 A。when 引導的是賓語從句，不是狀語從句。
四、一般過去時考點
一般過去時主要表示過去某時發生的情況或動作(包括過去習慣性的動作)。如：
1. "If the traffic hadn't been so heavy, I could have been back by 6 o'clock." "What a pity! Tina _________ here to see you." (湖南卷)
A. is B. was C. would be D. has been
【分析】答案選 B。盡管上面一句用的是與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣，但后面一句談的卻是發生在過去的一件真實情況，故用一般過去時。
2. Scientists think that the continents _________always where they _________ today. (北京卷)
A. aren't; are B. aren't; were C. weren't; are D. weren't; were
【分析】答案選 C。句意是：科學家認為各大陸并非一直在它們現在所處的位置。既然過去的位置與現在的位置不同，所以談論過去情況用一般過去時。
