詞族

fare verb 表現;進展・fared verb (past tense and past participle) 表現;進展(過去式及過去分詞)・faring verb (present participle) 表現;進展(現在分詞)

四選一

The new scheduling system has ____ well in its first month of use.

  • fare
  • fares
  • faring
  • fared
看答案

fared

現在完成式需要 has+過去分詞,因此選 fared。fare 是原形,fares 是第三人稱單數現在式;faring 是現在分詞,若用完成進行式則需要 has been faring,原句沒有 been。

同義改寫

Mina checked the train fare before planning her trip to the branch office. → Mina checked the price of the train ticket before planning her trip to the branch office.
此處 train fare 就是搭乘該班火車的票價,改寫保留查價與規劃行程的先後順序。
The new scheduling system fared well during the trial. → The new scheduling system performed well during the trial.
在系統試用情境中,fared well 與 performed well 都表示表現良好。
