Present at the meeting were Mr White and many other guests. 用的是什么时态啊?
Present at the meeting were Mr White and many other guests. 为什么present 没有时态啊?不是应该用进行时吗?求指教
答
你好,
这是一个倒装句.
Present at the meeting were Mr White and many other guests.
参加会议的有怀特先生和许多其他顾客.
正常的语序是Mr White and many other guests were present at the meeting.
怀特先生和许多其他的顾客都出席了这个会议.
这样一个语序可能是为了强调这个谓语和宾语的部分.
present在这里是形容词,意思是,现在的,目前的,出席的.所以没有什么动词时态.
如有疑问请追问
希望可以帮助到你~
