RECENTLY & UNTIL RECENTLYTrong bài test TOEIC, Part 5& 6 chúng ta rất hay gặp những câu bẫy về thì. Hôm nay hãy cùng tìm hiểu cách sử dụng thì sau RECENTLY & UNTIL RECENTLY nhé!
"recently" = at a time that was not long ago, or that started not long ago: vào một thời điểm cách đây không lâu, hoặc đã bắt đầu cách đây không lâu...
1. Vì "recently" có thể được hiểu ngầm là một sự việc đang xảy ra thời điểm đang nói/đang viết, hoặc là khung thời gian ở quá khứ.
