我有点搞不清如果before段是过去时,seem部分是该用什么时态?假如前半句我用完成时态,那应该变seem部分还是变to be部分?It have seemd to be a long time before the food came?还是It seems to have been a long time before the food came?

表示“有助于做某事”,英语是用 be good for doing sth 还是用 be good to do sth?比如:Riding a bicycle is good to develop the leg muscles. Riding a bicycle is good for developing the leg muscles. 哪句对?还是都对?
Nothing happens by
chance or with good or bad luck.这里的or都是翻译成“和”“也不”嘛,因为是否定句。没有什么偶然发生;也没有什么带着好运发生;也没有什么带着坏运发生。or连接三个并列,by
chance和with good luck和with
bad luck并列。
