lately的时态用法
最近，等于recently,现在完成时
lately与recently用法辨析
1. 按传统语法：lately 通常用于否定句或疑问句，recently 通常用于肯定句。但在现代英语中 recently 也经常用于否定句或疑问句，而 lately 也经常用于肯定句(尤其是在美国英语中以及与 only, much, a lot 等连用时)。
2. 从使用的时态来看：两者都经常与完成时态连用，也可与一般过去时连用(但此时用 recently 比用 lately 更经常)。如：

His visits used to be rare, but lately [recently] he has been here quite a lot. 他过去很少来(拜访)，但现在却来得很经常。

Did she have a party recently? 她最近举办过聚会吗?
注：两者通常都不用于将来。如：
最近我们要去巴黎。
误：We will go to Paris lately [recently].
正：We will go to Paris soon.
另外，lately 有时还可与一般现在时连用，指现在的习惯(但是recently 一般不这样用)。如：
