I just graduated from a college, and join a Eng conversation class now. At the last class, we talked about my life in college, teacher say "Hey, zi9d9c, you are so young, don't use the past tence" with smiling. I get confused now. I have graduated from school, so I have to use the past tence when I talk about my life in school whether I am young or not, doesn't I? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 124.8.186.218 ※ 編輯: zi9d9c 來自: 124.8.186.218 (08/31 22:03)
