另外注意的是：表短暂动作的动词(finish, marry, get up, come, go等)一般不能用现在完成进行时。

B. has been considering

C. considered

D. is going to consider

七、对过去完成时态的考查

过去完成时，经常以“过去”为背景，要想表达比这一背景更早的动作，常用此时态。如：

—No, I ___. Did they have a big wedding? (2004年湖北卷)

A. was not invited

B. have not been invited

C. hadn’t been invited

D. didn’t invite

过去完成时的常见考点有：

1)把过去完成时放在含有when, before, after, until, as soon as等引导的时间状语从句的复合句中考查。如：

15. When the old man ___ to walk back to his house, the sun ___ itself behind the mountain. (2005年湖北卷)

A. started; had already hidden

B. had started; had already hidden

C. had started; was hiding

16. By the end of last year, another new gymnasium ___ in Beijing. (2003年上海春)

A. would be completed

B. was being completed

C. hasn’t been completed

D. had been completed

3)把过去完成时放在scarcely (hardly)…when…和no sooner…than结构中考查。

17. He____ to the lab than he set out to do the experiment.

A. has no sooner got

B. no sooner got

C. will no sooner get

D. had no sooner got

4)把过去完成时放在主句是过去式的宾语从句中考查。如：

18. —Hurry up! Alice and Sue are waiting for you at the school gate.

—Oh! I thought they ___ without me. (2005年江西卷)

A. went B. are going

C. have gone D. had gone

5)表愿望的动词think, hope, want, mean 等动词用过去完成时，表示过去未曾实现的打算或意图。如：
