大家首先要知道的是,不要说成 “late for 5 minutes” ,没有这样的用法哦!解析:介词for,表示持续的某段时间,强调时间“由始至终”。通常我们会说 for a long time / for three weeks 等等。句子时态,用完成时或一般过去时。⏳迟到5分钟,“迟到”这一行为是“瞬时动作”,不是5分钟在迟到!所以 late for 5 minutes 的表达是错误的。正确表达是:5 minutes late,这里的 5minutes 用来形容 late 的程度。I'm going away for a few days. 我要离开几天。Maybe you can tell me why you were half an hour late for class.也许你能跟我解释一下你为什么迟到了半小时。
