In each set of sentences (A, B, and C), match each numbered sentence on the left to the correct lettered meaning on the right. This exercise measures your ability to understand smaller differences in meaning between tenses.

d 1. I will find answers when you leave.
a 2. I will be finding answers when you leave.
b 3. I will have found answers when you leave.
c 4. I will have been finding answers when you leave.   

a. I look for answers during the time you leave.
b. I start finding answers long before you leave.
c. I find the answers before you leave.
d. I find the answers after you leave.
這道題來自于Communicating with Grammar 3 (Oxfordd University Press 2014) Chapter 2 Exercise 5。答案已經(jīng)放在各題前面。問題在3，b,  和4，c 。

3. I will have found answers before you leave. 我可能理解不到位，但總覺得說的是 Answers will have been in my mind by the time you leave and I may have answers at any time before you leave. 這樣的意思。所以3對應(yīng)c選項覺得沒有問題（恰恰學(xué)生也選這個答案）。還有就是3強調(diào)的是b這個含義嗎？ 不一定非得是long before you leave吧？

4. I will have been finding answers when you leave. 意思對應(yīng)b. I start looking for answers long before you leave. (I may probably still be finding anwers after you leave. 這看起來我認為挺符合邏輯。有什么不對嗎？ 也就是說4. I will have been finding answers when you leave能不能表示I start finding answers long before you leave and I will be still finding answers when you leave and I will probabaly still be finding answers after you leave這一含義嗎？將來完成進行時難道不可以表示動作持續(xù)時間較長嗎? 而且進行時雖然可以表示動作剛剛結(jié)束，影響還在，但強調(diào)的不應(yīng)該是c I find answers before you leave吧？ 和加拿大一位資深英語教師（母語英語）討論了答案，她覺得除了a.b.c.d語法表述有的不合適外（比如a應(yīng)該用I will be looking for），沒提出答案有什么問題。但是我轉(zhuǎn)不過這個彎兒來。希望大家踴躍討論，不吝賜教。謝謝！ 返回小木蟲查看更多
