问题描述:

1."In fact,we used to call each other 'Old Friend'--when we'd meet,that is."
这句话后一句when……that is,是什么结构?‘d是would 还是had?
2.A half hour (went by) before the manager returned to the meeting hall.
为什么不填had gone by?

would 因为后面加了动词原形meet

"that is”是“就是说”,'d应该是had。
后面有before明确表示时间先后顺序,前面的过去完成时和过去式可以互换的。

1.应该是would .如果是had ,后面应该用met ,而不是meet.不是什么特殊的结构,只是语序换了一下.that is 只是起到具体说明 we used to call each other "old friend"的作用.译为“ 实际上,我们过去常叫对方老朋友——那是指在我们能见面的时候.”

1、应该是had,
2、went在这里相当于was
