本句話(huà)中所用的時(shí)態(tài)是一般過(guò)去時(shí)。因為說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)讓娜已經(jīng)知道對方是誰(shuí)，所以應該用與現在無(wú)關(guān)的時(shí)態(tài)，即過(guò)去時(shí)。
I never thought you were going to bring me a gift.我沒(méi)想到你會(huì )給我帶禮物。

③認清；認識到recognise+ (that)

“…only a small cold room to live in”是不定式作定語(yǔ)。不定式作定語(yǔ)通常放在它所修飾的名詞后面，與該名詞在邏輯上有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系。
Could you find me a job to do?幫我找個(gè)工作做？
Do you have anything to say on this question?
如該動(dòng)詞是不及物動(dòng)詞，應該加上適當名詞。
