题目

下面这段there were 后面怎么有will啊,
At the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November,there were indications that China will further promote its trade in a diversified way,said Wei,a guest economist for China Daily.

答案

时态问题是英语学习中的一个要注意的,分析它时得把句子的主干分清楚.比如你这个句子后半句的主谓宾是：there were indications.而后面：China will further promote its trade in a diversified way.这是做名词：indications 叫做 indications的补助语.千万不要看到 were 就认为句子的所有谓语都是过去式,要把句子主干分清楚分析就明白了.
