我预计三月份完成这份工作 翻译句子

Question

如上题所示翻译句子，答案为I expected to finish the work by March.为什么其中的expect用过去式expected？

Answer 1

题目并没有说这是什么时候的事情，很可能是过去发生的事情，是去年三月份之前预计的事情，所以用过去式expected。

Answer 2

〖一般现在时〗
1.我预计这次吹风会将于星期五下午在这里举行。
I expect the briefing to be held here on Friday afternoon.
〖一般将来时〗
2.我预计人们将会参照那时的金价水平买入此类股票,因为到那时,他们基本上已在为下一波涨势做准备了.I would expect people to buy the equities up to the gold price level at that time,because then you are basically gearing up for the next run.
〖过去完成时〗
3.他们每个人又给了我另外三个名字，而且并不像我预计的那样有太多重复。Each of them in turn gave me three names,and there was not as much overlap as I had expected.
事实证明，什么时态都可以用，如果事情发生在过去，就用一般过去时，或者过去完成时，如果事情发生在现在，就用一般现在时或者一般将来时，或者现在完成时，都可以用，回答完毕。本回答被提问者和网友采纳
