7. And our village has just built a new hospital and a library.
我们村刚刚建立了一所新医院和一个图书馆。
时态解析:
本句使用了现在完成时,结构为 “主语 + have/has + 过去分词”。其中just是现在完成时的标志性时间副词,意为“刚刚”,强调动作刚完成。
语法要点:
主语“our village”是第三人称单数,所以用has;build的过去分词是built。
8. Now, more of them have come back to live and work here.
现在,他们中更多的人已经回来在这里生活和工作了。
时态解析:
本句使用了现在完成时,结构为 “主语 + have/has + 过去分词”。
语法要点:
come的过去分词还是come(属于不规则变化)。
主语 “more of them(他们中更多的人)”是复数,所以用have。
“to live and work here”表目的,说明“回来”的目的是“在这里生活和工作”。
