Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
She was sitting on the grass, out of breath. She ____. She shouldn't have run so long.
D. ran
Đáp án C
Kiến thức về thì của động từ
Tạm dịch: Cô ấy đang ngồi trên bãi cỏ, thở hổn hển. Cô ấy đã chạy rất lâu. Cô ấy lẽ ra không nên chạy quá lâu như vậy.
=> Căn cứ vào động từ “was” ở mệnh đề trước nên động từ ở vế sau cần chia ở thì quá khứ hoàn thành (hành động chạy xảy ra xong trước hành động ngồi và thở hổn hển).
* Người ta dùng quá khứ hoàn thành để nhấn mạnh kết quả của hành động và dùng quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn để nhấn mạnh quá trình của hành động.
=> Vì câu cho thấy hành động để lại kết quả là "cô ngồi thở hổn hển", nhưng đồng thời cụm "so long" đã nhấn mạnh đến quá trình chạy của cô là trong suốt một thời gian rất dài, nên dùng đáp án C là chính xác nhất.
Cấu trúc khác cần lưu ý:
- out of breath: thở dốc, thở hổn hển
- should (not) + have + Vp2: lẽ ra đã (không) nên làm gì
