did not know, do not know
想請教:
did not know & do not know 都係解作不知道
那麼幾時用did not know? 幾時用 do not know?
煩請用中文及英文淺白易明來解釋
謝謝!

I did not know. "我之前不知道". 到底之前幾時? 兩分鐘前? 兩年前?是唔清唔楚.因此要加時問副詞去說明=I did not know just a few minute ago.
.......I did not know when I was in childhood. ......幾分鐘前,幾十年前,都适用did.
"past indefinite tense." [一般時式] 只是美其名,其實是[唔清唔楚]時式.
I do not know. " 我不知道 " present indefinite tense.就更加含糊,如沒時間說明,可以說是自出娘胎至到今時今日" 我不知道 ".
I do not know even now.
I do not know in this year.(那原因)在今年內,我不知道......
"因為今年還未過去,都适用present tense." do "只要所說及的時間,不超出本身範圍,都适用"do".

回Michael兄: 我只說及時間上問題,既已的人/事/物又作別論,除非中途有變化就用得上.
例如某人中途去造變性手術 :I was a girl but I am a boy now.
'' indefinite '' adj.字典解說的含意是 : " 不清不楚的,不確定的 '' 等等, 我才有此說法,
到底對或錯? 還須高手出來指正.
舉個例子會清楚些:
(1)Two days ago, I did not know they came first in the singing competition last Sunday.
試譯為:兩天前,我不知道他們在上星期日的歌唱比賽得了第一。
(2) I do not know they came first in the singing competition last Sunday.
我不知道他們在上星期日的歌唱比賽得了第一。

以上兩句英文都是現在(now) 説出來的
第一句是講出,在兩日前,講者不知道.. 因為是過去的事,所以用past tense_ I did not know( 這暗示雖然兩天前did not know,但現在己知道了)
即是話:
Two days ago, I did not know. Now I know!!!
第二句是講者直至講出這句的一刻都不知道...所以用present tense_ I do not know
"Do" 是一個動詞,亦是輔助動詞。在英文裡,任何動詞都有四個變化式(包括自己本身),用以配合不同時式(Tenses)使用,如"Do"的變化形態便是:
Present: Do
Past: Did
Past Partciple: Done
Present Partciple: Doing
I did not know. 是過去式(Simple Past Tense),這表示你是從前不知道,但現在知道。
I do not know. 是現在式(Simple Present Tense),這表示你現在不知道。
順帶一提,這兩句都是否定語句,"Do"只是一個輔助動詞,其主動詞是"Know"。當變成肯定語句時,"Do"便不須要,而動詞變化便出現在"Know"身上,變成:
I know. (Simple Present)
I knew. (Simple Past)

回 005 的答者:
indefinite tenses (又稱 simple tenses) 是用於當某事的確實發生時間我們不清楚,或不重要,故此不一定要加上時間去說明,有時亂加的話只會更令人不知所言!請問你會說:I am a boy. 定係 I am a boy now. 定係 I am a boy in this year. 呢?
did not know是過去式 (past tense )
e.g.
1) I did not know her last year. 去年我不認識她
do not know 是現在式(
present tense)
e.g.
1) I do not know right from
wrong. 我不能辨別是非。
did not know 係在 past tense 的時候用
do not know 係在 present tense 的時候用
你用ge時候要分清楚係咩tense先呀
