动词时态考点典型陷阱题分析

1. “I _____ his telephone number.” “I have his number, but I ____ to bring my phone book.”

A. forget, forget

C. forget, forgot B. forgot, forgot D. forgot, forget

【陷阱】容易误选A，认为“忘记”是现在的事。

【分析】仔细体会一下对话的语境：第一个人说“我忘记他的电话号码了”，这个“忘记”应该是现在的情况，即现在忘记了，要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了，故第一空应填 forget；第二个人说“我有他的号码，但我忘记带电话本了”，这个“忘记”应该是过去的情况，即过去忘记带电话本，所以现在电话本不在身上(注意句中的转折连词 but)，故第二空应填 forgot，即答案选应C。请再看一例：

— Oh, I ______ where he lives.

— Don’t you carry your address book?

No, I ______ to bring it.

A. forget, forget

C. forget, forgot

答案选C，理由同上。

2. I had hoped to see her off at the station, but I _____ too busy.

A. was

C. would be B. had been D. would have been B. forgot, forgot D. forgot, forget

【陷阱】容易误选B或D，认为前句用了had hoped，所以此句谓语要用B或D与之呼应。

【分析】但正确答案为A，前一句谓语用had hoped，表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或打算，可以译为“本想”，而后一句说“我太忙”，这是陈述过去的一个事实，所以要用一般过去时。请做以下类似试题(答案均为A)：

(1) We had hoped to catch the 10:20 train, but _____ it was gone.

A. found

C. would find B. had found D. would have found

(2) We had hoped that you would be able to visit us, but you _____.

A. didn’t B. hadn’t
