标题: OG12 86 现在完成时的疑问。急~！ [打印本页] 作者: 毅仔 时间: 2014-10-9 22:57 标题: OG12 86 现在完成时的疑问。急~！ The results of the company' cost cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased 5 percent during the first three months of this year after it fell over the last two years.
正确答案是：
which have increased 5% during the first three months of this year after falling
解释原句increase动作发生在fell后面，两个动词这样都用过去式不能体现时间先后
所以前面要用present perfect
但是MANHANTAN不是说，present perfect只有动作持续到现在或者对现在有影响才用吗？
而且是the first three month的时间状语，没有涵盖present这个时间点，为什么还可以用present perfect呢？

在别的帖子里看到的，能解答楼主疑惑，就贴过来哈~（虽然好像有点晚了....不过以后还可以给其他有相同疑惑的人看^^）
RON大神说的：
either "increased" or "have increased" would make sense, depending on context. if the sentence is written immediately at the end of the third month of the year, then "have increased" is right. if it's written later, then "increased" makes more sense.
