大家好 今天上一個寫作課的時候有一個段落
The education in Japan focuses on preparing students for university entrance,
so we practice writing and reading a lot. However, I could imagine that changi
ng our focus to improving speaking skills can affect Japanese people's English
skills in a great way.
上面的I could imagine 我實在不懂為什麼不是用can
老師給的feedback 如下：
The right modal verb to use is "could" not "can" when you're talking about som
ething that has been happening before and still happening in the recent times.
因為老師是native speaker所以再請他解釋的時候還是聽不太懂…
希望有人可以幫解釋QQ
