작성자 : den***   ·   2014-11-11

Vote - They did not vote.

Governor - Run in the governor election.

President - The president elect.

답변

A.
DENIS: Vote - They did not vote.

CORRECT!

B.
DENIS: Governor - Run in the governor election.

CORRECT: Run for the governor election.

EXPLANATION: The preposition 'in' and 'for' has different usage. We usually use 'in' for MONTHS,YEARS, CENTURIES and LONG PERIODS.
Examples :
- In May I will start studying English.
- In Summer I will go to Canada.
- In 1990 the biggest bird was born.
On the other hand we use 'for' to indicate the use of something, time, the cause of the reason and duration.
Examples:
- I baked a cake for your birthday.
- For this reason, I've decided to quit this job.
- I attended the university for one year only.


C.
DENIS: President - The president elect.

CORRECT: The president has been elected.

EXPLANATION:
- We need the verb to be on it's present perfect continuous tense. We often use the present perfect tense to talk about a continuing situation. This is a state that started in the past and continues in the present (and will probably continue into the future). This is a state (not an action). We usually use for or since with this structure.
