从前的英文是ago。

英 [ə'ɡəʊ]  美 [ə'ɡoʊ]

例句：The dinosaurs disappeared long ago.

翻译：恐龙很久以前就绝种了。

短语：ages ago 很久很久以前

用法

1、ago在句中一般不单独使用，须与表示时间的名词或副词搭配使用，且要放在它所修饰词的后面。

2、ago短语在句中修饰谓语动词时，该动词一般须用过去时态。但在某些固定短语或人们意识到所涉及的事情是过去发生的时刻，ago也可用于一般现在时，着重表示“到现在已有多长时间了”。当不仅表示动作发生，而且强调动作的后果时，ago可和过去完成时连用。

在强调句型中，如强调ago短语，谓语动词be可用于一般现在时，也可用于一般过去时。long ago用于加强语气时，也可与现在完成时连用。
