Surprisingly, though, Brazil ___ (almost, lose) hope of qualifying until theybcat Chile in October.
答案是 had almost lost。请问过去式行不行?
1 首先,主句为肯定句,谓语为非延续性动词时,不可以与till/until这样的状语连用。因为till/until引导的状语表示主句谓语表示的持续的情景的终止时间。但非延续性动词的否定句则可以和till/until状语连用,因为非延续性动作没有发生是一种状态,该状态持续到till/until表示的时间终止,即非延续性动作在此时发生。所以网友的句子中,lose为非延续性动词,句子为肯定句,这是错误的句子。句子应该修改:
Surprisingly, though, Brazil had almost no hope of qualifying until they beat Chile in October.
2 关于till/until引导状语从句时,主句和从句的时态问题,主句和从句谓语中任何一个都可以是完成体。例如:
I waited until he came back. 说话人的关注点随着时间的推移向将来方向移动。
I had waited until he came back. 说话人关注的是从句谓语的时间。
I waited until he had came back. 说话人关注的是主句谓语的时间。
以上三句的差异很小,可以忽略。
