unknown Ask:A Grammar Question

My sister did not come home___

A.the last week;B.this past week;C.the week past;D.the week before now.

which do you think is the right answer?why?  I need your help! thank you!

应该选 D

A B都要加介词 in

C past adj 后置于名词不对

B.  Only B is idiomatic.

没有看过B的用法。举个例子吧。

Well, maybe I should say that A, C, D are not idiomatic.

Do a google search on "this past week" (make sure you put the double quotes around the phrase), and you will see tons of examples (although I have said that using google search is usually not a good idea when study G &T, but ocssionally it might be useful :-)

A, ".the last week", is not a good answer.

When you use "the", you need to make sure that the reader of your sentence know what you are refering to.  So, it's O.K. to say "the last week of ...", e.g., "the last week of April", but not "the last week" alone.
