我们都知道,must 的过去形式为 had to, 意思是“必须,不得不”,如:I must go to school now. 我现在必须去上学。
但如果是过去时态就应该是:I had to go to school yesterday. 我昨天必须去上学。这句话中就不能用must.
但是,must 也有用于过去时态的情况,今天我们一起来学习一下。
1. 在间接引语中的情况下,must 可用于过去时态。例句1:Last night I told my parents that I must finish my homework before 9:00 pm.
昨天晚上我告诉父亲我必须在晚上9点前完成作业。
2. 引含间接引语中,must 可用于过去时态。例句2:Yesterday morning I considered how I should spend the day. First I must finish my homework.
昨天早上我考虑如何度过这一天。首先我必须完成我的家庭作业。
3. 在从句中must 可用于过去时态。例句3:There were some tasks that I must finish first.
有一些任务我必须得先做完。
4. 当must 为“偏偏”的意思是,可用于过去时态。例句4:As I was talking on the phone with my parents, someone must knock at the door.
当我正在和父母通电话时,偏偏有人来敲门。
