美剧里的一句英语,how'd you know i was here? 为什么是过去时?
我给你举个例子,A B C三个人,C 叫 A 去一栋楼里找 B,
A 到了后打电话对 C 说: how do you know B is here.
过了一回 A找到了B,这时候 B 会 A 说: how did you know i was here.
这里你可以看出来,在 A 认为事情没有确定前,用 do, 当事情被证实后,用 did.
这是 how did you know 和 how do you know 的区别。
你如果觉得这样还是难比较,你可以把 how do you know 换成 how would you know.
