A. Say or Said?
When I met Peter, I _____ ' What are you doing?'
B. insist or insisted?
I _______ that I am right.
究竟什麼時候用 say,什麼時候用said? 為何我們可以在present condition 用said and insisted?

如果condition是 present,但它是direct speech, use say or said?

在英文的文化裏,有一條規則叫時式一致(Sequence of Tenses):所以,在A題裏,我們留意到met是過去動作,所以同樣say也必須是過去式,所以要用”said”
而B題,從屬子句的動詞是am,所以主要子句的動詞就不可以是過去式,所以是答案是:insist

A.
When I met Peter, I said "what are you doing?"
B
I insist that I am right. <---------------如果現在仲係

say.......很少機會會用到.....要用的話.....就use as present tense....
said......多數係用在direct speech and indirect speech.....
eg. Peter said, "I am stupid."
Peter said that he was stupid.
present condition.......
睇下講緊的事情.......
係幾時發生.......
時間唔同.......
就用唔同的tense........
