Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions.
You’d better take the keys. It’s possible I’ll come home late
A. You’d better take the keys as I possibly come home late
B. You’d better take the keys in case I come home late
C. I’ll probably come home late so that you’d better take the keys
D. If I come home late, you’d better take the keys
Đáp án B.
Tạm dịch: Tốt hơn hết là bạn nên mang theo chìa khóa. Có thể là tôi sẽ về nhà muộn.
possible: có thể xảy ra mặc dù không chắc chắn.
+ Loại A vì động từ ở vế có liên từ “as” không chia ở thì tương lai. Ở đây từ “as” có nghĩa là bởi vì, do đó đáp án chuẩn phải là “as I will possibly come home late”.
Lưu ý: khi ‘as” mang nghĩa là khi mà thì chúng ta không dùng tương lai sau đó bởi vì sau các liên từ chỉ thời gian (before, after, as, when ...) chúng ta không chia động từ ở tương lai mà giữ ở thì hiện tại.
Ex: I will call her when I get home.
+ Loại C vì nghĩa của từ “probably” là có khả năng xảy ra cao. Do đó khác biệt hoàn toàn với nghĩa của câu gốc.
+ Loại D vì thứ tự hành động bị đảo lộn. Tạm dịch: Nếu tôi về muộn thì bạn nên mang theo chìa khóa. Ở đây thứ tự chính xác là: vì có thể về muộn nên mang theo chìa khóa.
+ Đáp án B chính xác vì từ “in case” có nghĩa là: có thể xảy ra, không chắc chắn, mang tính đề phòng.
Ex: You should bring your umbrella in case it rains: Bạn nên mang theo ô để đề phòng trường hợp trời mưa.
