late在初中英語中是比較重點的一個單詞,也是常考知識點之一,它的用法很容易混淆。接下來小編在這里給大家?guī)韑ater的用法,我們一起來看看吧!
later的用法
1. 用作形容詞和副詞 late 的比較級。如:

2. 用于一段具體時間之后,表示從過去或將來算起的多長時間以后,但通常不指從現(xiàn)在算起的多久以后。如:
誤:I’ll call again a week later.(可改為…in a week)
正:I called again a week later. 一周后我又打了電話。
正:I’ll call her on March 5 and will call again a week later. 我將在3月5日給她打個電話,過一周后我將再打個電話。
但是later單獨使用(即不連用具體時間),可以表示從現(xiàn)在算起的“以后”(具有泛指意義)。如:
Let’s stop now and finish it later. 現(xiàn)在停下來,以后再完成它。
He may be busy, in which case I’ll call later. 他可能忙,如若如此,我以后再來拜訪。
3. 用于 later on,表示“以后”“后來”,可用于過去或將來。如:

Later on he realized his mistake. 后來他認識到了自己的錯誤。
4. sooner or later 為習語,意為“遲早”,注意其詞序不能倒過來。如:
You’ll know the truth sooner or later. 你遲早會知道真相的。
