3.i've never been late for school, but yesterday i came very close

(1)i've 是i have的縮寫,have been late是現在完成時態,現在完成時是指一個動作或狀態開始于過去,持續到現在,并可能繼續下去,而且對現在產生了一定的影響,其構成是have / has+動詞過去分詞。例如:

自1999年以來我就在這兒。

我們已經在濟南住了20年了。
she hasn't worked for 2 years.

(2)be late for 意為“……遲到”,for為介詞,所以其后須跟名詞。例如:
don't be late for the meeting.
開會別遲到了。
jim was late for school again.
吉姆上學又遲到了。
tom has been late for classes twice.
湯姆上課已經遲到兩次了。
(3)close在此為副詞“接近地,靠近地”。此外came very close意為“到時與遲到很接近”。
4.my alarm clock didn't go off, … 鬧鐘沒有大響……
go off 意為“爆發,大響”。例如:
although the alarm clock went off, he didn't wake up.雖然鬧鐘大響,但是他還是沒有醒來。
與go有關的詞組還有:
(1)go in for“參加”(競賽、考試);(作為嗜好、工作)“愛好”。例如:
she goes in for bird-watching.她愛好賞鳥。
(2)go on“進行,繼續”。例如:
please go on.請繼續。
(3)go on doing sth 或go on with sth“繼續做……”。例如:

(4)go over“調查,視察;越過”。例如:
you must go over your lessons before the exam.
考試前你必須復習。
5.…and i had to wait for him to come out.……我不得不等他出來。
(1)have to 意為“必須,不得不”。例如:

你必須考試嗎?
tom has to practice speaking chinese every day.
湯姆每天必須練習講漢語。
辨析:have to 與must
這兩個詞都可以表示“必須”。have to 更加強調客觀原因,而must則強調主觀原因;含有have to 的句子在作句型轉換時須借助于助動詞do,does或did,而must本身是情態動詞,進行句型轉換時可以直接通過must改變。例如:
it is raining, we have to stay at home.
天在下雨,我們不得不待在家里。
we must work hard.
我們必須努力工作。
lucy doesn't have to stand.
露茜不必站著。
you mustn't play in the street.
