Were意思

"were" 是英語中動詞 "be" 的過去時形式之一,通常用於主語是複數形式或第二人稱複數(you)的情況。以下是 "were" 的一些常見用法:

  1. 表示過去時:

    • 如果你是學生,你應該知道這個。
    • 昨天晚上你是什麼時候回家的?
  2. 虛擬語氣:

    • If I were you, I would go to the doctor. (如果我像你一樣,我會去看醫生。)
    • Were I you, I would do it differently. (如果我是你,我會做得不同。)
  3. 固定搭配:

    • They were supposed to arrive yesterday, but they never showed up. (他們應該昨天到達,但他們從未出現。)
    • We were hoping to win, but we lost. (我們本希望贏,但我們輸了。)
  4. 進行時:

    • I was wondering if you were free this weekend. (我在想你這周末是否有空。)
    • They were discussing the plan when I arrived. (我到達時他們正在討論計畫。)
  5. 助動詞:

    • You were right. (你是對的。)
    • They were not happy with the result. (他們對結果不滿意。)

請注意,"were" 通常不會用於第一人稱單數(I)的過去時,除非在虛擬語氣的句子中。第一人稱單數過去時使用 "was"。
