A. hasn't flown 　B. didn't fly 　C. hadn't flown 　D. wasn't flying

　　题干中前半句“was”，一般过去时；后半句最后出现“before”说明是在过去(was)之过去，前半句的“was”给出了选择过去完成时的时间背景，因此选择C。

　　例三：I got caught in the rain and my suit____.

　　A. has ruined 　B. had ruined 　C. has been ruined 　D. had been ruined

　　题干中前半句“got caught”，一般过去时；由and连接后半句没有出现具体的时间，如果与前半句并列，需要用was ruined，但题项没有给。一般地说，如果没有明确的时间，应当默认为现在，因此，要选择C。意思是“我(刚才)赶上雨了，衣服全给毁了”。

　　还需要指出的是，由并列连词连接的两个简单句，时态不一致，这很正常。

　　又如：I was a college student, but now I am a teacher.我以前是大学生，现在是老师。

　　例四：–Tom, you didn’t come to the party last night? –I ____, but I suddenly remembered I had homework to do.

　　A. had to 　B. didn’t 　C. was going to 　D. wouldn’t

　　题干上句“last night”和下句后半部分“remembered”都提示是过去时间背景，应该选择“昨天我是打算去”，因此选择C。

　　例五：By the time you get back, great changes ______ in this area.

　　A.will take place 　B.will be taken place 　C.are going to take place 　D.will have taken place

　　题干“By the time you get back”，是“到你(将来)回来时”，这里因为是时间状语从句，将来时用一般时代替，因此后半句的时间应当使“将已经”，故选择D。

　　动词时态语态每年必考，同时，在书面表达中，同学们也会遇到判断时态，将语篇动词时态表达准确的问题。因此，要格外关注动词时态语态的练习，并积累好答题方法和典型的错题。
