Cách dùng THÌ sau RECENTLY & UNTIL RECENTLY

RECENTLY & UNTIL RECENTLY

"recently" = at a time that was not long ago, or that started not long ago: vào một thời điểm cách đây không lâu, hoặc đã bắt đầu cách đây không lâu...

1. Vì "recently" có thể được hiểu ngầm là một sự việc đang xảy ra thời điểm đang nói/đang viết, hoặc là khung thời gian ở quá khứ.

VD:      She only recently discovered the truth.

            I haven't seen them recently (= it is some time since I saw them).

            Have you used it recently (= in the recent past)?

            Recently, though, she seems to have run out of energy.

 

2. Do đó Việc chọn thì sau "until recently" có vẻ rất tự do. => có hai sự việc xảy ra: trước và sau "until recently".

  a. Nếu khung thời gian ở quá khứ (simple past/past perfect), ta dùng thìsimple past hoặc past perfect.
