The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away. 前半句还行,后半句从but以后就不太懂了。that是连接哪句从句?had often had又是甚?还是应该分开看?求简化啊!
可是完成时不应该是had often haven吗?- -
追答不不不。过去完成时,had done。但此处是过去often,后接had就可以了。唉呀,没错啦
追问也就是说当过去完成时出现often的时候。。后面不用done的形式,而是动词的过去时就可以了吗? 谢谢你的耐心解答~
