In the first place是要首先迴聲。它通常寫在句子的末尾,以表明應該已經說過或者應該事先說過一些話。它也可以用來表示,如果在事情發生之前採取了行動,就可以避免類似的事情。例子: We should have told her about it in the first place. (我們應該If we would have told her right away we could have avoided her anger in the first place. )示例: If we would have told her right away we could have avoided her anger in the first place. (如果我們立即告訴她,我們可以避免她的憤怒。)例如: If we have filled up the car in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess. (如果我們已經在車上加了油,那我們就不會有這種情況了。)
