Well hey there I"m Emma from mmmEnglish. Today I"ve got a quiz for you, a narrative tenses quiz.
大家好，我是 Emma，欢迎来到美味英语频道。今天，我为大家准备了了一个小测验，一个叙事时态小测验。
It"s gonna test your ability to use all of the past tenses in English, that"s right all of them. Now I"m not going to lie, this quiz will really push your limits but practising all of these tenses all at once is going to help you to better understand how they fit together and how they get used together and that"s going to help you to become a better English speaker, especially when it comes to talking about past events and experiences and telling stories.
它将测试你使用英语中所有过去时态的能力，没错，那就是全部。我没有撒谎哦，这个测验确实会督促你突破极限，但是一次性地练习所有这些时态将帮助你更好地了解它们如何结合在一起使用，这将帮助你的英语更上一层楼，尤其是在谈论过去的事件和经历以及讲故事时。
So here on the mmmEnglish channel we"ve been talking a lot about storytelling and about narrative tenses lately. I"ve shared some really great grammar lessons to help you understand and to practise some of the more complex parts of the English language.
最近的美味英语频道一直在谈论讲故事和叙事时态。我分享了一些非常好的语法课程，以帮助大家理解和练习英语中一些更复杂的部分。
This quiz, this challenge today is going to test your understanding of past tenses, past perfect, past continuous even past simple. And I"ve added links down in the description to all of the grammar lessons that I"ve made that are going to help you to study and go deeper on some of the things that we"ll test today in this lesson.
这次小测验呢，今天的挑战将测试你对过去时态的理解，包括过去完成时、过去进行时，还有一般过去时。我在说明中添加了我所制作的所有语法课程的链接，这些链接将帮助你学习并深入了解我们今天将在本课程中测试的一些内容。
The cool thing about that is you"ll get to find out what you"re really comfortable and confident with but we"ll also work out what you need to work on a little more or what you need to improve on. So here"s how today"s quiz works.
很酷的方面在于你可以发现自己在什么方面比较自如自信，但我们也会弄清楚你需要继续努力或继续提升的地方。所以今天的小测试是这样的。
I"m going to start off by telling you the verb that I need you to think about and then you"ll see a sentence appear on screen just like this. So the verb is write.
我将先告诉你我想让你思考的动词，然后你会看到一个句子出现在屏幕上，就像这样。所以这里的动词是写。
And I want you to put it into the past continuous tense. You"ll have a few seconds to write down your answer before I read the correct one out loud.
我希望你把它放在过去进行时态中。在我大声说出正确答案之前，你将有几秒钟的时间写下自己的答案。
She was writing an email. So I know that was an easy one to get started but there are three practice rounds, each one is going to focus on a different tense.
她在写邮件。我知道这是一个很容易上手的方法，但是有3个练习的回合，每个回合都将专注于不同的时态。
The first will be the past continuous. The next, the past perfect simple and then the past perfect continuous.
第一回合是过去进行时。接下来是过去完成时和过去完成进行时。
But the final round is longer and you"ll need to think hard about how these tenses work together, including the past simple tense so you"ll really get to put everything that we"ve been learning over the last few weeks into practice. As always if you have any questions, write them down in the comments below.
但是最后一个回合会比较长，你需要认真思考一下这些时态如何一起使用，包括一般过去时，这样你才能真正将我们在过去几周内学到的所有知识付诸实践。与往常一样，如果你有任何问题，请写在下方的评论区。
If you have any example sentences you want me to check or you want feedback on, drop them down there as well. I"ll be down there giving comments and guidance and explanations as we need it.
如果你有什么要让我检查的例句或要反馈的信息的话，也请把它们写在那里。我会过去根据大家的需要提供评论、指导和解释。

The really cool thing is that you"ve been practising your grammar, reminding yourself of these tenses as we went through this video but you can also use this same quiz to practise your speaking skills because now you"ve got the answers, you can watch it again but instead of thinking of the answers, say the sentence out loud because then you"ll get to hear me say it and you"ll get to compare how you"re pronouncing each of these words and these expressions as we go.
Now there was probably a couple of answers that you"re a little on the fence about.
非常酷的是你一直在练习语法，在观看本视频的过程中提醒自己这些时态，但是你也可以使用同样的测验来练习你的口语技能，因为现在你已经知道答案了，你可以再看一遍，但不要思考答案，而是大声地把句子说出来，因为然后你就可以听到我是怎么说的，你可以比较一下你是如何发这些单词和表达的音的。可能有几个答案让你有些犹豫。
If you"ve watched any of the narrative tenses lessons that I"ve prepared then you"ll know that sometimes more than one answer is possible so I"ve talked a little bit more about this over on the mmmEnglish blog so if you want to go a little deeper and try and understand a little bit more then check out the link in the description or this one up here.
So a great way to really lock in everything that you"ve been learning through this lesson and through the grammar lessons on the channel is to start writing your own story.
如果你看过我准备的叙事时态课程的话，那么肯定知道有时可能不止只有一个可能的答案，因此我在美味英语博客上讨论了更多相关的内容，因此如果你愿意再深入学习，尝试了解更多的话，请查看说明中的链接或此处的链接。真正的可以巩固你在本课程中以及该频道上的语法课程中学到的所有内容的一个好方法是开始编写你自己的故事。
Now I"d love to hear about something that happened to you recently, something funny, something annoying, something strange that you witnessed, whatever it is. Tell me about it down in the comments.
我很想听听你最近身边发生的事情，有趣的事情，烦人的事情，你目睹的奇怪的事情，无论是什么事情。请在评论中告诉我吧。
I"ll be reading all of your wonderful stories with a cup of tea and giving you any tips and advice as I see that I need to. So thank you so much for watching, looking forward to seeing you in the next lesson.
我将喝着一杯茶来阅读你们所有的奇妙故事，也会给大家一些我觉得需要的提示和建议。非常感谢大家的观看，期待在下一堂课中与你相见。
Bye for now.
再见啦。
