一．一般将来时态/一般过去时态/现在完成时态
六年级考察时态的难度不大，主要考察孩子对基本用法的掌握程度及细心程度。
做时态的思路一般是在句中找到表示时间的关键词或短语，通常为时间状语或副词。
以下列出这三个时态的考点及注意事项：
一般将来时态
考点：
（1）句中出现如tomorrow/next year/in the future/in 2050等表示未来的时间短语；
（2）主将从现，这是牛津六年级的一个重点语法。常考含有主将从现的句型是以if引导的条件状语从句、when和as soon as引导的时间状语从句。意为“主句用一般将来时，而从句用一般现在时表将来。”比如，If it rains tomorrow， we’ll call off the sports meeting.
注意事项：在上面的例句中，虽然从句中有tomorrow，但仍不影响我们在从句中用一般现在时表将来时。）
一般过去时态
考点：句中如出现…ago/yesterday morning/in 1989/last month等表示过去时间的短语；
注意事项：将一般过去时与现在完成时放在一起考核是考试的难点同样也是高频考点。详见下面对于“现在完成时态“的详解。
现在完成时态
考点：
（1）句中出现already/yet/ever/never等描述过去已经发生的动作，并可能对现在产生影响的；
（2）句中出现since+时间点；for+时间段；lately；so far；until now等描述过去动作持续到现在的；
（3）句中出现three times; once 等描述一个动作发生多次的；
（4）句中没有任何时间状语，只是强调动作是否发生过的；
注意事项：一般过去时与现在完成时态的比较
²一般过去时更强调一个动作是在过去的哪个时间点或哪个地点发生的；
²现在完成时更强调一个动作是否已经发生，而不强调发生的时间及地点。
让我们一起通过下面的这个例子来体会一下：
--Have you been to the U.S.A before?
--Yes， I have.
--When did you go there?
--When I was nine years old.
