他最后被人看見是在晚上7點離開他在新鎮的辦公室。
last  作為形容詞，表示“最后的，剛過去的”。

last 也可做動詞，表示“持續、維持”。
eg. we have enough water to last five days.
2. they are not sure whether the victim was killed somewhere else and then brought to valley town, or killed at the place where he was found.  他們不能確定受害者是否在別處被殺死后棄尸于谷鎮，還是在被發現處遇害的。
whether在句中表示“是否”，有時可以和if交換使用。但whether后面可以跟or not，而if不能。
