Seeing John rush into the room with tears in his eyes,I asked what had happend.
问题描述:
Seeing John rush into the room with tears in his eyes,I asked what had happend.
为什么这样说呢?不是 what happend是习惯用法么?
答
这是一个特别的语法现象,简单来说:当两个动作都发生在过去时,应予就要区分那个先发生,那个后发生了.先发生的用过去完成时(had done),后发生的用过去时(did).
你的句子:我问他发生了什么事.
“我问他”发生在“发生了什么事”之后,所以,前者用过去时,后者用过去完成时.
