6、） .My parents told me that I was born on May 6 th,1986.我的父母告诉我说我是1986 年五月6日出生的.4.如果两个动作紧接着发生时,那么常常不用过去完成时,而用一般过去时,特别是在包含before和after的复合句中.例如：11） .After we said good-bye to the farmers, we left the mountain village.在我们和农民们告另U了之后我们就离开了水草那个山村.12） Just before I left Wenzhou, I sent my parents a telephon
