《高考必刷题》里的一道改错题:In 1752,Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm with the aim of finding out that lightning was a form of electricity.
这里的“闪电是电的一种形式”不是客观事实吗?为什么不把was改成is?
In 1752,Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm with the aim of finding out that lightning was a form of electricity.
In 1752,Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm with the aim of finding out that lightning is a form of electricity.
两种时态都对。一般过去时,重点不在考虑是否“客观真理”,只是为了“时态呼应”;一般现在时,着重暗示这是一种客观现象,不受时间制约,给人感觉是为了寻求真理。
