敲钟究竟是用knock还是strike

问题描述:

敲钟究竟是用knock还是strike
老师好
请问敲钟报时应该用哪个词呢,我最近考到两个句子
The clock__ six when I opened the door.
答案给的是was knocking
How many times did the clock __?
答案给的是strike
请问到底该用哪个词呢?

敲钟用strike,而敲门用knock, 如
新概念第三册第二课有一句The clock strikes thirteen times. 这个钟敲了十三下.
Who is knocking at the door? 谁在敲门?
希望能帮到你,祝更上一层楼O(∩_∩)O
有不会的欢迎再继续问我(*^__^*)
