當學習者程度還比較不足的時候，因為對英文不夠熟悉（e.g. 時態搭配、詞性變化、單字組合、發音、連音…），所以聽到的內容比較難內化（有點像在聽一組亂數）。概念其實滿簡單的，困難其實就是在知道哪些詞語和句型結構是一組，以及該如何歸納。這部分在自學的時候，可能就要多查字典，或是有老師直接告訴你 「這邊的句構是一組」、「這邊是一組」、「這個情況一定是這個文法時態，所以會是 have been + Ving」 ---- 免費電子報：Podcast 字稿、國際新聞整理 https://www.kevinenglishpodcast.com/podcast-opt-in YouTube：不出國也能精進英文口說，方法大公開 https://youtu.be/HrHEZzc8FfM?feature=shared 訂閱 Podcast 講義，含逐字稿、重點單字，超過 200 份講義。 https://www.zeczec.com/projects/kevin-english-podcast?r=k67341249890

簡單過去（Came） 定義和用法：“Came”是動詞“come”的簡單過去時形式，用於描述在過去某一具體時間發生的單一事件或動作。 例句："When we were children, we came to this park." 使用“came”時，我們著重於過去某個確定的時刻或時間段內發生了什麼。 過去習慣（Would Come） 定義和用法：“Would come”使用了助動詞“would”加上基本形式的動詞“come”，它用來描述過去的重複行為或習慣性動作。 例句："When we were children, we would come to this park." 使用“would come”時，強調的是一個過去經常發生的行為，而不是某個具體的單次事件。 ---- 訂閱 Podcast 講義，含逐字稿、重點單字，超過 200 份講義。 https://www.zeczec.com/projects/kevin-english-podcast?r=k67341249890
