======================語法常識回顧=====================
1.since then,since,ever since都和現在完成時式連用。
since的概念是指某一時間、時期結束以來。例:
The last time I sent a letter to Denise was two weeks ago.
還是兩周之前,我寫過信給Denise.(所以,打那時起到現在我就沒有寄一封信給我的朋友了。)
再如:
一周后,Jason出差回來,看到桌面亂七八糟的,于是質問起我來,我就用到了這一句:... No kidding,Jason.The last time I went there was two months ago! ...
2.關于just,指剛剛,時間不久。下面我試舉幾個常用的句子讓你占有它!
幾秒鐘之前我在廣播中聽到這消息。
I've just heard the news on the radio.
=I heard the news on the radio a few seconds ago.
我只是一星期之前才開始學英文。
I began learning English only a week ago.
=I have just learned English.
我剛跟Ann說再見。
I said good-bye to Ann a little while ago.
