關於英文時態的問題想請教下大家

I stayed at Apple Store on 24th March 2014. I arrived at the store at 5:00pm. The store was big. There were many people in the store. Firstly, I went to Toy Section. A man who was tall managed the section. There were different kinds of toys in the section. I bought three toys. I paid $200 for them. Then I went to Vegetable Section. There were different kinds of vegetables in the section. I bought some vegetables. I left the store at 5:50pm.

小弟想問問大家以上篇文章句子既tenses 有無錯。間store 係宜家lee 一刻係大,咁
"The store was big."用past tense 有無錯。

✔ 最佳答案
你這篇叫做報告式...記敘文...所以past tense係冇錯-雖然某些句子/讀出感覺怪怪(如你提問the store was big或the man who was tall等)

其實寫作時有辦法改善這種奇怪的...尤其是講人the man was tall可以是文章的記事,但一般亦可指某男人生前很高(用past tense是隱喻他已死了),在日常的溝通講話會這樣講一個過身了的人的特徵或素質。改善方法如下:

I went to a big Apple Store...
A tall man managed the section...
當附加形容某東西時一般一會特登分一句出來...這是寫作上無謂的加長(亦影響閱讀理解和行文流暢)。

這是一向的習慣(思路)...可嘗試寫了分句後將它們盡量夾番埋。

"I stayed at Apple Store on 24th March 2014." 應該寫成"I went to Apple Store on 24th March 2014." 因為"stayed at" 有"住宿""留在"的意思。還有"Apple Store" 前面可能要加"an"。

另外,在"Toy Section" 和"Vegetable Section"前面最好加"the"。

I will write

" The store is big", "The man who is tall..."
