當Past Tense走在Timeline上


Is the action over or completed?

Today we are going to use timelines to explain how to use the Past Tense in some common scenarios.

當我哋要描述一件發生咗或者已經完成嘅事情,就會用到 Past Tense而發生咗好耐或者唔係好耐都可以。就算係啱啱發生,只要件事已經完成同埋無延伸至同現在 ( now ) 有關連就無問題啦。

Here are a few examples.

Case 1 => 句子講喺以前嘅一刻發生咗乜嘢事

The bus left 3 minutes ago.
㗎巴士喺三分鐘前


Case 2 => 句子無講幾時發生,只講乜嘢事發生咗

I fell.
我頭先跌倒。


Case 3 => 件事喺以前嘅一個時期發生咗

Michael Jackson was a very popular singer during the 1980s.
米高積遜在八十年代是一名非常受歡迎的歌手。
