時式總共 12 式,好采最常用只有 5 式。現在談談作故事時最常用的 2 式。
First the diamond had disappeared, but now the security guard was missing. ( 先是鑽石不見了,可是現在連護衛也失了蹤。 )
Past Perfect Tense loves to hang out* with Simple Past. 過去完成式愛與過去式 "浦" ;兩個子句以 when 、 by the time 、 because 等連接詞連成一句。次序是過去完成式先發生。
e.g. Judy had lived in Japan, so I called her to find out more about the culture and lifestyle there. ( Judy 在日本住過,所以我揾她講吓當地之化及生活。 )
若 A 事件才剛發生, B 事件緊接發生,亦以返句型來表示「一......,就......」:
no sooner had 主詞 A + 過去分詞 + than 主詞 B + 過去式動詞No sooner had Jerry left the house than it started to rain.
若用了 after 或 before 這些連接詞表示動作的次序,先後分明,兩句都用過去式便可以。又或是一連串動作順序的也可全用過去式。
e.g. She knelt down, listened and peeped into the house through keyhole. ( 她蹲下,聽,再從栓孔中窺看。 )
到「英文-saying」一看。
