the thing talked about in this report () over a year ago
问题描述:
the thing talked about in this report () over a year ago
took place,我选择的是had taken place,是把主语稿错了吗?请调整正常语序.
答
跟主语没有多大关系,这里不能用过去完成时.过去完成时是指过去的过去.就是某个过去的时间以前发生的动作.后面有一个表明动作发生的时间:over a year ago.所以直接用一般过去时.这里有个talked about 是过去分词做定语,不是谓语动词,跟时态是使用没有关系.这句就是:
The thing (talked about in this report) took place over a year ago.
