謝謝海先生!

 

May I ask you a couple of questions about this sentence?

"This, however, was afterwards of use to me,"

1. I don't know its exact meaning, but I guess that the author says he benefited from this experience in his later life. Is it right?   

2. If "afterwards" is an adverb, Is " afterwards of use” grammatically correct in this sentence?

Thanks a lot! Have a nice weekend!

• to be of use是固定詞組。隻是被afterwards分開了。 -ntotl- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/25/2012 postreply 18:22:48

• 有些副詞位置靈活的﹐有些是固定的。 -海外逸士- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/26/2012 postreply 05:27:30
