前面几节我们学了现在完成时的几个用法,下面我们要来学习过去时态的相关用法:
1.当两个动作都在过去发生,那末在有先后的情况下,第一个动作就用had+过去分词。 例如: · The children ran away.(孩子逃走了。) · They broke the window.(他们打碎了窗户。) 第一个动作显然先要打碎窗户,然后再逃之夭夭。所以连起来说就是: ·The children ran away after they had broken the window. ·After the children had broken the window they ran away. 例如:1)The sun set.(太阳下山了。) 2)We returned to our hotel.(我们回到旅店。) ·As soon as the sun had set we returned to our hotel.(太阳一下山,我们就回到旅店。) 2.When 有时也和过去完成式连用。 例 When he had finished lunch he asked for a glass of water. 当他吃完中午饭之后,他要讨杯水喝。(有先后动作关系)
3. 关于 not···until 句型和过去完成式的关系。 I had not understood the problem until he explained it. (直到他解释了那个问题之后我才懂。) 这里有两个动词,一是“懂”,一是“解释”,所以有先后关系。 比较:I did not understand the problem until last night. 在这句话里面,没有先后的动词关系,所以用 did not 。
相关词汇:
have an experience 碰到一件事,有一种经历 in the south of 在···的南部(在该地区之内之南部) drive on 继续开车 on the way 在路途上 ask sb. for a lift 请求别人给予搭便车 get into 进入 say good morning to 向人道早安 apart from 除了,除开 neither of us 指我们两人都不,两人以上用none of us reach 到达,不用任何介词 do you speak··· 你会讲···,=can you speak··· 、
Do You Speak English?
你会讲英语吗?
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove
on to the next town. { 去年,我曾有过一段好笑的经历。在我离开法国南部的一个小村庄之后,我继续开车驶向下一个城镇。} On the way,a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got
into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from
a few words, I do not know any French at all. {在路上,一个年轻人向我招手。我停下车,他要求搭个便车。他一上车子,我就用法语向他道声早安,而他用同样的语言作了回答。除了懂仅有的几句话以外,我压根不懂什么法语。} Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man
suddenly said,very slowly,"do you speak English?" As I soon learnt,he was English himself! {旅途中,我们双方都没有说话。我快要到达那座城镇时突然这位年青人说话了, 他说得很慢,“你会讲英语吗?”那时我马上明白过来,他本身就是英国人!}
