and you do something different from whatever you thought you were going to do? Well, in

然後你做了些不同於你本來想要做的事

today's lesson, I'm going to show you how to express yourself when changes take place

今天的課程,我要告訴你如何去表達你自己,

from the plans that you had made to what you actually do. So, let's have a look at this.

從已制定的計畫到你實際做了甚麼,所以,讓我們看看這些句子

So, the way you talk about changes in plans in the past is by using the expression: "was

談論到過去的計畫有所改變時,可以使用"was supposed to"(應該)

supposed to", or: "were supposed to", or: "was going to", "were going to". All right?

或"were supposed to"(當時應該)或"was going to"(當時正要去)或'were going to'(當時正要去),接著

I'll give you many examples of this. So what you need to do to use this expressions, you

我會給你很多例句，所以你需要做的是,使用這些表達方式

need to have first a subject, for example: "I".

你首先需要主詞,例如「I」(我)

"I", then you use the past tense of the verb "to be": "was",

「I」(我),接著使用「to be」的過去式「was」

then you use this expression: "supposed to". So far we have: "I was supposed to",

接著使用「supposed to」(應該),目前我們有「I was supposed to」(我當時應該...)

plus you need to add a verb. All right? So: "I was supposed to do something.", "You

再加上你還需要增加一個動詞,好,那麼「我當時應該要做些什麼?」

were going to call me.", etc. Now, you can use this to talk about all kinds of activities,

你當時正要打電話給我,之類的,現在你可以使用這些語句談論各種活動

and I've given you some examples on the board. The activities can relate to people, they

我會在板子上給你一 些例子,這些活動可以跟人有關

can relate to things, or just to actions in themselves.

跟物品有關,或就只是一些動作

So let's look at some examples. "I was supposed to call my mom." Now, this sentence is fine

讓我們看一些例子,"我應該要打電話給我媽。",現在,這個句子是對的

by itself. "I was supposed to call my mom." All right? But often, we add something, like

"我應該要打電話給我媽。"對吧?但是,很多時候,我們會增加一些東西去,像是

to explain why you didn't do that. So, for example: "I was supposed to call my mom, but

解釋為什麼你沒做那件事,舉例,"我應該要打電話給我媽",但是

it got too late." Or: "I was going to visit my friend, but he wasn't home." Or: "I was

時間太晚了,或是,"我本來要去見我的朋友,但是他不在家",或是,"我本來

supposed to talk to my boss, but he was too busy." All right? So you see how it works?

應該跟我的老闆談話,但是,他當時太忙",你了解這些句子的運用嗎?

You use: "I was supposed to" or "I was going to", plus this, and then if you want, you

你使用「我本來要去」或「我當時正要去」,再加上這句,然後,如果你想要

can give an explanation about why your plans didn't work out.

你可以給予說明,為什麼你的計劃並沒有達成

Let's look at some examples of how it works with things. "We were going to buy", oops.

讓我們看一些例子,這些句子如何跟物品運用在一起,"我們正要去買",喔喔~

Not "help", but "milk". "We were going to buy some milk, but the store was closed.",

不是help,是milk,"我們正要去買牛奶,但是商店關門了"

"I was going to send the cheque, but I didn't have enough money in my account." Or: "He

"我本來要去寄支票,但是我戶頭沒有足夠的錢",或是

was going to fix the computer, but he came home too late." All right?

"他本來要去修理這台電腦,但是,他回家太晚"

Now, you see I'm changing the subject. So you could say: "I was supposed to", "He was

目前,你看到我改變主詞,所以你可以說,"我當時正要去",

supposed to", "She was supposed to". So these, we use with "was". And you could also say:

"他當時正要去","她當時正要去",所以這些句子,我們使用"was",然而你也可以說

"You were going to", "We were going to", "They were going to". All right? So, of course,

"你當時正要去","我們當時正要去","他們當時正要去",好,當然

you must know whether to use "was" or "were", and that you learn when you learn the past

你必須知道是使用"was"或"were",而那是你所學到的

tense of the verb "to be". Okay.

"to be"的過去式,好的

Now let's look at some actions. "I was supposed to travel this week, but it didn't work out.",

現在,我們看一些動作,"我本來這禮拜要去旅遊,但沒有成行"

"I was supposed to sleep, but my friends came over and then we went out instead.", "I was

"我本來要去睡覺,但我的朋友來找我,我們反而一起出門了"

supposed to teach today, but I was feeling unwell." Okay? So here are many examples,

"我本來今天要教課,但是我感到不舒服",所以這裡有很多例子

and you can come up with your own. I'm sure there's something that you were planning to

你可以自己想想,我確信你本來有些計劃要做

do which didn't work out. So think about it: what were you supposed to do yesterday that

然而沒有完成,所以回想一下,甚麼是你昨天本來要去做的

you didn't end up doing? And then you can use the sentence.

你並沒有完成?那就可以使用這些句子

Now, not only can you use this expression in sentences, you can also use it in a question.

現在,不只可以使用這些句子陳述事情,你也可以用在問句上

Now, often it's kind of in a negative question, like this: "Weren't you supposed to go to

大多會使用在否定的問題上,像這句,"你今天不是應該要去上學嗎?

school today? What happened? How come you're still at home?" Or: "Weren't you going to

發生甚麼事了?你怎麼還在家裡?"或,"你不是應該要

submit your resume? What happened? Did you change your mind?" Or: "Weren't you supposed

送出你的履歷嗎?發生甚麼事了?你改變心意了嗎?"或是,"你不是本來要去

to attend the lecture?" Or: "Weren't you going to see the doctor?" Right? So you could also

聽演講?"或是,"你不是本來要去看醫師?"你也可以

use it in question format, and usually it will be kind of a negative because somebody

使用在問句句型上,而通常這樣的句子會帶點否定意味,因為某人

had told you that they were going to do something and then you found out that they didn't do

已經告訴你,他們將要去做某件事,然而你發現他們並沒有去做

it. So you can use this kind of expression. All right?

所以你可以使用這樣的句子

So once again, the expression is: "supposed to" or "going to". If you're writing it, remember

再一次,這句子是「supposed to」或「going to」,假如你正書寫它,記得

to spell it with the "d", because when I say it: "supposed to", you don't hear the "d".

拼寫時加上"d",因為當我說"supposed to",你並沒有聽到"d"

So don't make the mistake of leaving out the "d" in the word "supposed". Okay? We don't

所以不要搞錯,在"supposed"這個字上,少寫了"d",我們沒有

hear it, but you must spell it. All right?

聽到它,但是你必須寫出來
