Read the
conversations. Notice before. When do
you see present perfect, and when do you see simple past?
1.
a. We’re
going to Las Vegas
this weekend. Would you like to come?
b. Oh,
how nice of you to offer! I've never been there
before.
a. So
you’ll come?
b. I
would love to! Thank you!
2. a. Have you ever
gambled before? *赌博, jugar,
игра́ть в аза́ртные и́гры
b. Oh,
yes. There was an Indian reservation (印第安保護區, резервация)
with casinos
(赌博娱乐场, казино) not too
far from my hometown. But I don’t know how much gambling I’ll do this
weekend. I’m a bit short on money.
3. Before
I moved here,
I lived in a town that was close to a reservation.
4. I withdrew some money from the ATM before I left for Las Vegas .
5. a. Excuse
me, sir. Could you show me how to do
this?
I've never used a slot machine before.
b. Sure. You just insert your money here. Then, pull
down on this lever*, like this.
a. Oh,
O.K. Thanks.
* 杆,
palanca, рычаг
6. Before
she pulled
down on the lever, she inserted a dollar.
7. a. This
is going to be fun. I've never seen a
Las Vegas
show.
b. Me,
neither. I can’t wait to see the
showgirls! But, you know, we have an
hour
before the show starts. How about if we get something to eat?
a. That
sounds like a good idea.
8. a. I
don’t know what to order. What about
you?
b. I don’t
know. I've
never eaten here before,
either.
Everything looks so good. Maybe we should ask the waiter what he
recommends.
a. That
sounds like a good idea.
9. Before
I put
my last dollar in, I made a wish, but it didn’t come true. I didn’t win
anything!
