Review Summary
- Past tense verb + by + subject pronoun (optional)
- Particle 'by' usually comes after the verb or the first stressed word.
常见错误
The particle 'by' should not start the sentence in this context; it attaches to the verb.
You must use the l-participle (past tense) of the main verb, not the infinitive.
After 'keby', the verb must be in the past tense, not the present.
