总结归纳
1.Prior to coming to China,my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America,with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American tastes.
had been changed为过去完成时态的被动语态,表示动作已经完成,并产生了结果
2.When my family and I had just arrived in China,we went looking for a good place to eat in Beijing.
had just arrived 为去过完成时态,表示动作发生在过去时“went”之前
3.A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend,and finally,we found it.
had been recommended为过去完成时态的被动语态,强调动作发生在过去动作found之前
4.Tired,hungry,and not knowing a word of Chinese,we had no idea how to order,so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten.
had ever eaten 为过去完成时态,表示到had和began之时所发生的动作
[基本概念]
过去完成时态表示过去某一时间或某一动作之前已经发生或完成的主动动作,也可以说是“过去的过去”,它强调该动作所造成的某种影响或结果。过去完成时态的被动语态表示过去某一时间或某一动作之前已经发生或完成的被动动作,它强调该被动动作所造成的影响或结果。
[思维导图]
[语法精析]
(一)基本构成(以do为例)
时态
肯定式
否定式
过去完成时态
had done
hadn't done
过去完成时态
的被动语态
had been done
hadn't been done
*We realised we had lost our way.
我们意识到我们迷路了。
*The flowers in the vase were dying because they hadn't been watered for a week.
花瓶里的花快死了,因为一周没浇水了。
(二)判断方法
1.由时间状语来判定
与过去完成时连用的时间状语有:
①by+过去的时间点
*I had finished reading the novel by nine o'clock last night.
昨晚九点钟以前我已经看完了这本小说。
②by the end of+过去的时间点
*We had learned over two thousand English words by the end of last month.
到上个月为止,我们已经学了两千多个英语单词。
③before+过去的时间点
*They had planted six hundred trees before last Friday.
上个星期五之前,他们已经种了六百棵树。
④when+过去的时间点
*All the film tickets had been sold out when I got to the cinema.
我们到电影院的时候,所有的电影票都卖完了。
2.由可参照的过去时间来判定
在宾语从句或状语从句中,可以参照主句中的谓语动词所使用的一般过去时态。
*She said that she had seen the film before.
她说她以前看过这部电影。
*We had hoped that you would come,but you didn't.
我们希望你能来,但你没有来。
以上两句分别参照了句中的said和didn't 两个词所表示的时态。
[微点拨] before,after引导的时间状语从句中,由于before和after本身已表达了动作的先后关系,若主、从句表示的动作紧密相连,从句也可以用一般过去时。
After he closed the door,he left the classroom.
他关上门后,就离开了教室。
3.根据上下文来判定
*I met Wang Tao in the street yesterday.We hadn't seen each other since he went to Beijing.
昨天我在街上遇见了王涛。自从他去了北京,我们就没见过面。
上面的例句中参照met和went所表示的时态,可以判断出第二个复合句中的主句的时态为过去完成时态。
4.根据虚拟语气的语法规则来判断
在if虚拟条件句、wish/if only,prefer that和would rather as if/though后的宾语从句中,如果表达与过去事实相反的假设,从句的时态要用过去完成时态。
*If I had asked for directions,I wouldn't have gotten lost.
如果我问一下路,就不会迷失方向了。
*If only I had studied harder when I was young.
年轻时我要是更加努力学习该多好啊!
