問下關於英文句子文法既問題
I have been dating Nancy since 3rd February 2014. We always go to Caseway
Bay in the past weeks.
假設寫以上既野既時候係24th February 2014,想問下大家以上句子既文法有無錯。
回答 (3)
I have been dating Nancy since 3rd February 2014. ~ Present perfect continuous tense
We always went to Causeway Bay in the past weeks. ~ Past simple tense
句子文法無錯
Comment:
為什麼有些香港英語老師認為 always只應用在 present tense?
有一回答者這樣說:
“所以能用always和present tense”
“假如你想強調「每一次都是」亦不能用always”
我自己認為 always 是 adverb of frequency, 這類副詞不受 ”什麼時侯” 限制
可應用在 past tense, present tense 與 future上
過去:~
“I always thought they'd get married some day, but they never did.”
~ from Merriam-Webster Dictionary
“I always thought that I would have children eventually.”
~ from Cambridge Dictionary
He always wanted a room of his own.
~ from 英漢字典
He wasn ' t always a butler.
~ from Yahoo字典
將來: ~
I will always remember you.
Thing won’t always go as planned.
劍橋字典上 always = every time, all the time, or forever
在這方面, always 和 every time 沒有太大分別, 理論上, 不需特別用 “every time“去替換 “always”
在另一方面,
或許用 always 間中有一次反常, ( 差不多無例外地), probability is not 100%
every time - probability is 100%
“always” 換了 ”every time”, 意思有少少不同
這不是時態 (time) 問題
字典上是無 everytime 這個字, 應該分開兩個字 every time
不同 everyday (adjective) 和 every day, everyone (pronoun) 和 every one
Britney Spears 有首歌, “Everytime”
2011 年, Robbie Robertson有首歌 “He Don’t Live Here No More”
是否見歌手用便跟隨用? .

Correction:
這不是時態 (Tense) 問題
參考: Cambridge English Dictionary;Yahoo Dictionary
I have been dating Nancy since 3rd February 2014. 沒有錯
但是
We always go to Caseway Bay in the past weeks.
則不對
因為in the past weeks已經決定所講的內容是過去了的事,因此動詞的時態必須要跟句子表達的時空配合(或反過來講,句子的意義要由動詞的時態來表示)。
所以能用always和present tense.
We went to Causeway Bay in the past weeks.
假如你想強調「每一次都是」亦不能用always而是要更精準地用詞,例如以下寫法:
We went to Causeway Bay everytime we went out in the past weeks.
當然如果你意思只係講由3Feb至今每一次約會(出街)你們都只是去了Casueway Bay,便只需要
We always go to Casueway Bay.
要畫蛇添足或畫龍點睛等修飾便要改句配合句意。
冇錯,寫得啱,係 present continuous tense,意思係你由3/Feb/2014 約 Nancy 約到 24/Feb/2014,仲係約緊佢。下一句與此無關。
