Most children grow out of tantrums by the time they’re three.
I’ll be in my grave by the time that happens!
这里为何一句用will,一句不需要will,有哪些规律可循吗?
By the time wearrived, the meetingwas over.
我了解 was over 表示一种状况,但假如我想强调“早已结束”这种状况时,能不能改成 had been?
She had gone by the time we got there.
假如我想说:当大家到了的时候, 她“恰好”走了。这里 had gone 能否改成 went away。由于我看到 before 作连词时,主句和从句两个动作几乎同时发生,是可以都用一般过去式的。所以我在想,这个使用方法能否迁移到其它从属连词身上?
谢谢老师!

这里为何一句用will,一句不需要will,有哪些规律可循吗?
解答如下:
第1句用一般目前时态,表示必然会发生客观事实
第2句用一般以后时态表示一种推断。
By the time wearrived, the meetingwas over.
我了解 was over 表示一种状况,但假如我想强调“早已结束”这种状况时,能不能改成 had been?
解答如下:
be over是状况动词,用一般过去式即可,假如改为动作动词end,可以用过去完成时态
By the time we arrived, the meeting had ended.
She had gone by the time we got there.
假如我想说:当大家到了的时候, 她“恰好”走了。这里 had gone 能否改成 went away。由于我看到 before 作连词时,主句和从句两个动作几乎同时发生,是可以都用一般过去式的。所以我在想,这个使用方法能否迁移到其它从属连词身上?
