Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions
Nam was so rude to them last night. Now he feels regretful.
A. Nam regrets to have been so rude to them last night.
B. Nam regrets having so rude to them last night.
C. Nam wishes he hadn’t been so rude to them last night.
Đáp án C
Dịch đề bài: Tối qua Nam đã thật thô lỗ với họ. Giờ đây anh ấy cảm thấy thật hối tiếc, (ngụ ý: hối tiếc vì đêm qua đã quá thô lỗ).
A. Không dịch vì sai cấu trúc: “regret + to V” - tiếc vì sắp phải làm gì, nghĩa là hành động “to V” chưa diễn ra, không thể để “to have P2” - mang nghĩa hoàn thành vào đây được.
B. Không dịch vì sai cấu trúc: “rude” là tính từ, không đi với động từ “have”. Cần sửa “having” thành “having been”.
C. Nam ước rằng tối qua mình đã không thô lỗ với họ như vây. → đúng.
D. Không dịch vì sai cấu trúc: Ước cho một chuyện ở quá khứ (vì có trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian là “last night”) thì phải dùng thức giả định loại 3 (động từ chia ở quá khứ hoàn thành/ hoàn thành tiếp diễn). Vậy nên “were” (quá khứ đơn) phải chia thành “had been” (quá khứ hoàn thành). Chọn đáp án C vì nó là đáp án đúng duy nhất.
