Question

I’m really sorry, Lucy. I ______ to help you, but I was too busy at that time.

A．meant

B．mean

C．had meant

D．have meant

Answer 1

C

試題分析：考查had meant to do表示虛擬語氣：句意：很抱歉，露西，我本打算幫你的，但那時(shí)我太忙了。用had meant to do表示本打算做…卻沒做…,也可以是meant to have done。選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：動(dòng)詞mean與intend的用法一樣,即meant to do sth / meant to have done sth / had meant to do sth的形式都可以表示虛擬語氣。動(dòng)詞hope, plan, want, suppose, expect等的過去式后接不定式的完成形式或過去完成時(shí)后接簡(jiǎn)單不定式也可以表虛擬語氣。
