一道题英语时态问题,求英语高手,好心人帮帮忙!
I _____ that he would be able to leave tomorrow, but it's beginning to look diffcult.
A. hope B. had hopedC. hoped D. am hoping
我个人认为应该选C,但是答案给的是B.
纠结啊.

答案

选B.had hoped
句子的意思是：他本来希望明天能够出发的,但现在看上去这很困难.
根据后面的 we would be able to leave tomorrow ,我们判断这是对过去事实的一种虚拟,所以前面要用had hoped.当条件是与现在或过去事实相反时,就可以用虚拟.所以此处是B.had hoped
希望对有你帮助.
