以下是2人对话:
A: Would you do me a favor ?
B: Ok.
A: Could you just take my clothes down and drop them in the washing machine and put some detergent in it and get it going ?
B: Ok
A: If I'm out when the wash cycle finished, woudl you please take my clothes out of the washing machine ?
B: Ok.
上述对话倒数第二行finished有误,应该是finishes 还是is finished 呢?还是二者即可?为什么?
finished应该是一个口误,实际应为finishes.现实生活中没人会斤斤计较细小的语法,对方听懂即可。
