時間を表す言葉と動詞形の対応

教科書 p.118
接続:時間表現 + 適切な時制
coordinate words of time with verb forms. Choose the present or past form according to time and before–after relationships, not just according to the time of speaking.
注意 / Note:Check connection form and context; Avoid mechanical application of translation.
比較 / Compare:Compare with other models of the same article to distinguish functions and nuances. Same 課: 〜ている:進行中の動作/〜ている:習慣/〜ている:結果が残っている状態/〜ている:形・様子/〜ている:完了/未完了 — these models are often mistaken for each other, read the 接続 line carefully and then decide.
