Were的意思
"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的情況下。以下是 "were" 的幾個常見用法:
-
表示過去時:
- 如果你是學生,你應該知道這個。
- 如果你是老師,你應該教這個。
-
虛擬語氣:
- If I were you, I would study harder. (如果我像你一樣,我會更努力學習。)
-
固定搭配:
- They were supposed to arrive at 10, but they are late. (他們應該在10點到達,但他們遲到了。)
-
進行時:
- I am not sure what they were talking about. (我不確定他們在談論什麼。)
-
完成時:
- They have been working on this project for months, and they were almost done. (他們已經在這個項目上工作了幾個月,幾乎要完成了。)
請注意,"were" 通常不會用於第一人稱單數 "I" 或 "we" 的過去時,除非是在虛擬語氣的句子中。在這種情況下,第一人稱單數的過去時是 "was",而第一人稱複數則是 "were"。
