Kiến thức về thì động từ

Tạm dịch: Thuyết phục cô ấy tham gia cùng chúng ta là vô ích vì bố mẹ cô ấy đã dặn phải về nhà sau khi trò chơi cuối cùng kết thúc.

=> Căn cứ vào nghĩa của câu:

+ Việc “Bố mẹ cô ấy đã bảo cô ấy” là hành động xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng không rõ thời gian nên ta chia thì hiện tại hoàn thành.

=> Căn cứ vào mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian “after the last game      over”:

+ Vì hành động “trò chơi cuối chưa kết thúc” nên ta chia ở thì hiện tại đơn.
