manhattan第四版104页,讲过去完成时的时候有这么一句话: Also note that the later past event does not need to be expressed with a Simple Past tense verb. You could just use a date or another time reference.
不明白这是什么意思,有童鞋知道的能举个例不?

这句话的意思是,过去完成时态不一定要用过去时态来决定,也可以由表示过去的时间状语来决定。
example:
由 过去时态来决定:
the construction of temple had finished before the English attacked the empire.
由 时间状语来决定。
the construction of temple had finished before the early 1780s.
early 1780s 已经是过去了,而 construction finish在 ealry 1780s 之前, 所以也用过去完成时。作者: 捉妖 时间: 2013-3-29 12:22
