네, 이 문장은 두 가지 방식으로 해석될 수 있습니다.
1. "I thought she was asking questions at the time."
이 경우, 'I thought her to be asking questions'는 그녀가 이미 질문을 하고 있는 것으로 생각했다는 의미가 됩니다.
2. "I thought she was going to ask questions."
이 경우, 'I thought her to be asking questions'는 그녀가 앞으로 질문을 할 것으로 생각했다는 의미가 됩니다.
따라서, 이 문장은 시간적인 관점에서 해석될 수도 있고, 앞으로의 행동에 대한 예측으로 해석될 수도 있습니다.

I'd say it means the first one. it sounds a little odd though, like a kinda older style of English. but as far as I'm aware, "I thought her to be..." means "I thought she was..."

@hhoc2000 I'd say so, yea. this one's harder to figure out why, but "..her to be.." sounds like present tense. I've never heard that phrasing used any other way
