kevjev Posted July 10, 2015 at 12:27 PM Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 at 12:27 PM Hi all! So basically I got stuck on my homework and I'm not sure whether I'm right. The task was: Reword the sentence using the given word of phrase. Discuss any changes in meaning. 1) 你还是上以前的那个学校吗?(原来) 2) 我从1997年到现在都住在这个州。(一直) 3) 我来了很久了,可是都没有去过那个沿海城市。(一直) I was only able to do the 2nd and 3rd, but I couldn't make any sense of the meaning of the first sentence. Also I'm not too sure of the changes in meaning. 2) 我从1997年一直到现在都住在这个州。 3) 我来了很久了,可是一直都没有去过那个沿海城市。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted July 10, 2015 at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 at 12:51 PM re 1) 上学校= to attend (classes at) a school 以前的那个… = the old ... (the one from before) re 一直 it seems odd to insert it between 从 and 到. Also using it with 都 might be redundant. But let's see what other people think about it.

Guest123 Posted July 10, 2015 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 at 01:38 PM Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I think sentences with 一直 are OK. Also using it with 都 might be redundant In fact, 都 usually is quite "redundant" in the sense that it is used after other words in order to stress that the speaker means the whole periode of time or the whole group etc., like : 我每天都跑步。 这里所有的书你都可以看。 I'd say that ir 2) and 3) adding 一直 means "all that time, from beginning to end of indicated period of time", and here you can omit 都, but with it the stress is stronger. But the first sentence looks weird. Is it really 你还是上以前的那个学小马? or 你还是上以前的那个学校吗?In this case it means: Are you still going to the same school as before? Anyway 以前的那个 = 原来的 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwq Posted July 11, 2015 at 10:12 AM Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 at 10:12 AM You should also note that it is asking you to reword the sentences using the given word, not insert them into the old sentences. That is, you don't need to keep all of the words in the old sentences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-F-J Posted July 11, 2015 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 at 01:59 PM For sentence 1, replace 以前 with 原来. For sentence 2 and 3, replace 都 with 一直. Discuss any changes in meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
