.823(1)句子中的语法;;;;;!．．．．．．．．．
1.but it was very nice to know that this little home would be waiting for him,whenever he wanted it
但是只要想到自己的家随时都在等待他的归来,他的心里就感到无限温馨
请问would be waiting 是不是用了现在进行时态表将来,表示随时等待着
2.when they reached toad's house the first thing they saw was a new car sitting outside(书上)
我感觉语序我不太习惯,可否改成:when they reached toad's house they saw the first thing was a new car sitting outside

Answer 1

1.will be waiting将来进行时,表示将会一直等着他.用would是为了和前面was时态一致.
2.你不习惯语序因为你的母语是中文,你改的句子有很重的中国味道.打个逗号就行了,不见得要改成从句.
