VOA慢速英文第3課 He Said - She Said

Anna

Today, Pete and I are meeting with a consultant who will help us with our new show. Yesterday, Pete had promised to meet me here at 8:00 am. but he did not come on time.

今天皮特和我要見一位顧問，幫我們做新節目。昨天皮特答應早上 8 點在這兒見我，可他沒準時來。

Uh-oh. It’s bad to be late for a business meeting. But while we wait for Pete, let’s talk about a new verb tense -- past perfect! When we talk about two things in the past, we can use the past perfect for the first event. Put "had" before the past participle. "Pete had promised he would meet Anna." Find sentences with the past perfect tense. Remember, look for "had!"

哦哦。商務會議遲到可不好。等皮特的時候，我們來學一個新時態——過去完成時！談兩件過去的事時，先發生的那件用過去完成時。在過去分詞前加 had。“Pete had promised he would meet Anna.”請找出過去完成時的句子。記住，找 had！
