The Japanese police said that more than 18,000people_____(die)in the Marth 11 earthquake and tsunami.
正确答案是died,可是我就是想不明白.不应该是had died吗?
18,000people_____(die)in the Marth 11 earthquake and tsunami.宾语从句的时态不应该是18,000people died in the Marth 11 earthquake and tsunami吗?那个时候那么多人已经死了呀,所以不是用过去式么?而宾语从句再和主句联系在一起,主句是过去式,从句不就是过去完成时的么?为什么老师说死在3月11日的地震与海啸里是一般现在是呢?不是过去式么?

Answer 1

1. 有明确的时间地点,in the 11 earth quake and tsunami ,不能用过去完成时,用一般过去时.
你们老师可能是口误.
2. 你理解的没错, 从句动作发生在主句谓语之前,本来用过去完成时.
这题如果从句没有明确时间或地点的话,用过去完成时.
比如：
He said that his brother had left. 过去完成时
He said that his brother died in 1999. 一般过去时.
