Question

These years,more than ten people ___while they were enjoying themselves in the water.
A.died B.die C.have died D.will die
答案是说由while引导的从句用过去进行时.主句应该用一般过去时,故选A.可是这里的时间状语是These years 不是应该用一般现在时吗?

Answer 1

一般现在时其实是一个很模糊的时间概念,它更多的是表述一种状态或真理~~
首先,这个题答案的判断应该根据these years后面的从句而不是these years,另外,从句意上讲,也不是楼主所说的一般现在时,因为句子翻译过来是:这些年来,. 这很明显是一般过去时
