陈老师:
I just saw John at the bookstore. I didn't think he ______ back until tomorrow.
A.will come (一般将来时态,表示现在看来将要做某事)
B.is coming (进行时态也表示即将发生某种动作行为)
C.was to come (表过去看来将要打算做某事)
D.is to come(表示现在看来将要打算做某事)
答案解析C:主句为过去时态,宾语从句也用过去某种时态,根据从句动作为将要发生,即用过去将来时态,能把掉过去将要发生动作,只有was to do sth 。
(be to do sth表示计划打算将要做某事,am/is/are to do 表示以现在时间为起点打算要做某事,was/were to do 表示以过去事件为起点,将要打算做某事。)
