语法填空

One Sunday morning in August I went to a local music festival. I left it early because I had an appointment ___16___ (late) that day. My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me ___17___ the bus arrived. I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man ___18___ (sit) at the front. He ___19___ (pretend) that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be ___20___ (mental) disabled.
17题空答案填until，我想问一下填before行吗？还有为什么是walked me？

Answer 1

1. later

2. till,until

3. sat

4. pretended

5. mental

   如果用before，那么句子主语可能要用到过去完成时，表示的是“过去的过去”。即My friends had walked me to the bus stop and ...

   至于walked me to 我觉得是省略了with（可有可无的），避免和后面紧跟的waited with me重复。

   有很多这样的习惯用法：

   There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car.  
   

   人行道反着光， 你和我走到车前。

   
   

   We gotta shake things up, but you'd walk me to through the board.  跟读
   

   我们会把事情做好，但你得帮我说服董事会。

Answer 2

16. later
17. until (用before的意思就变成你的朋友只是在工交来到之前陪你等，有可能工交未到朋友们就离开了，但用until就表示他们直到工交来前到一直在陪你。)
18. sitting
19. pretended
20. metally

Walked me就是陪你走的意思。

追问

可是before不是也有 到…为止 的意思吗
还是只有it作主语时before才等于until

walk me等于walk with me吗

追答

可是before不是也有 到…为止 的意思吗?

这么说吧, before没有说明时间长短, 只表达了"之前"的意思
例如. I had dinner before 9 o'clock.
这只会说明"我在九点前吃晚饭了", 但不知道在九点前哪个时候吃饭, 可能是八点半, 也可能更早, 我门不会知道.

上面稍微说偏了,walk me有"送我"的意思, 而walk with me才是"陪我走"的意, 所以上面应该是"送我去公交站"
