Question

I ________ to visit you later that day, but I had to phone and cancel.

A．come

B．came

C．a(chǎn)m coming

D．was coming

Answer 1

D

句意為：那天過(guò)些時(shí)候我本會(huì)來(lái)拜訪你的，但我打電話取消了。由but I had to phone and cancel.可以判斷整句談的是過(guò)去的事。A,C選項(xiàng)排除。透過(guò)句意可知I 站在過(guò)去的時(shí)間點(diǎn)來(lái)說(shuō)將來(lái)，該用過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)。而英語(yǔ)中一些表示位置移動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞（如come/go/fly/travel/arrive/等），常用進(jìn)行時(shí)來(lái)表將來(lái)。所以選D.
【考點(diǎn)定位】動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的考查 come， go， leave， arrive， start等動(dòng)詞可用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)代替過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)。例如：He said the train was leaving at six the next morning.他說(shuō)過(guò)火車將于第二天早晨六點(diǎn)離開(kāi)。She told me she was coming to see me.她告訴過(guò)我她要來(lái)看我。
