Question

【题目】Yesterday the teacher told us that the earth ________around the sun.

A. goes B. went C. is going D. would go

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：昨天老师告诉我们地球绕着太阳转。A. goes一般现在时；B. went一般过去时；C. is going 现在进行时；D. would go过去将来时。地球围绕太阳转是客观真理，表示客观真理、客观存在、科学事实时应用一般现在时态，不再受主句时态的影响。由于主语为the earth，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式goes。故正确答案为A。
