有读者问：
(1)Every day you have said to yourself:“I have plenty of time. I will learn my lesson tomorrow.”
一般语法书上讲every day只能与一般现在时连用，而这里却与现在完成时连用，这是怎么回事？
every day既可与现在一般时连用，也可以与现在完成时连用。与现在一般时连用时，泛指经常，包括过去、现在和将来，如：
(2)I go to school every day.
但如与现在完成时连用，则仅指从过去某一时刻到现在的一段时间里的“每一天”，如：
(3)It has rained every day since last Sunday.
(4)I have met him every day for years.
(5)He has come to see his sick mother every day this year.
如果上下文清楚，也可以不明确说出过去的一段时间。问题中所给的句子即是一个很好的例证。同样，如果上下文清楚，上面所举的例（3）、（4）、（5）皆可只用every day，省去其他时间状语。
