Ago 的含义在中文中

“ago” 是一个常用于英语中的副词，表示某个事件发生在现在之前的时间。它通常与时间词汇结合使用，帮助描述过去的时间段。

用法

  1. 时间表达：常与具体时间段结合使用，如“two days ago”（两天前）、“a year ago”（一年前）等。

    • 例句：I visited my grandparents two weeks ago.（我两周前拜访了我的祖父母。）

  2. 与过去时态结合：在描述过去的事件时，常用“ago”来强调事件发生的时间。

    • 例句：She graduated from university three years ago.（她三年前大学毕业。）

  3. 适用场合：在日常交流中使用频率较高，适用于非正式和正式场合。无论是口语还是书面语，均可使用。

  • not long ago：不久前

    • 例句：I saw him not long ago.（我不久前见过他。）

常见错误

  1. 使用不当的时间词：有时学习者可能会将“ago”与未来时态混用，比如说“in two days ago”，这是错误的，正确的表达应为“two days ago”。
  2. 时态不一致：在句子中使用“ago”时，通常需要与过去时态动词搭配使用。
