Случаи использования данных времён

Рассмотрим более подробно когда используется Past Simple, а когда Past Continuous:

Past Simple — грамматическое время, которое используется для указания на законченное действие в прошлом. Обычно на это показывают слова подсказки. Например He finished school in 2002. Он закончил школу в 2002 году. Таким образом указание 2002 год — слово подсказка, требующее использования Past Simple.

Past Continuous — в данном грамматическом времени нас интересует в первую очередь продолжительный характер конкретного действия в прошлом. Зачастую это время сопровождается своими словами подсказками. Например, He was drinking tea with his friends yesterday at 5. То есть нас интересует конкретный момент в прошлом, и на это указывают специальные слова.

Слова-подсказки

Остановимся чуть подробнее на словах-подсказках этих двух времён.

Past Simple — yesterday, ago, last, the day before yesterday, in…(дата), on…(день). Как правило, все вышеуказанные слова подсказки используются в конце предложения. Однако, речи возможны случаи использования этих слов и в начале предложения.

Past Continuous — at…(указание на время), all day long (весь день), from…till…(с…до…). Так же как и в Past Simple слова подсказки ставятся в конце предложения, но возможно их употребление и в начале предложения.

Как образуются Past Simple и Past Continuous

Past Simple

Утвердительные предложения — I started to work at shool in 2001. На первое место ставится подлежащее, далее сказуемое во второй форме (у правильных глаголов добавляется окончание ed, у неправильных учится вторая форма).

Вопросительные предложения — Did you start to work at school in 2001? На первое место ставится вспомогательный глагол Did, который не переводится никак, далее подлежащее и сказуемое в ПЕРВОЙ (начальной) форме.

Отрицательные предложения — I did not (didn’t) start to work at school in 2001. (После подлежащего ставится did not + глагол в начальной форме)

Past Continuous

Утвердительные предложения — We were having breakfast yesterday at 5. На первое место ставится подлежащее, далее to be в прошедшей форме (was/were — в зависимости от числа подлежащего. В единственном числе — was, во множественном — were.) + глагол с окончанием …ing.

Вопросительные предложения — Were you having breakfast yesterday at 5? Меняются местами глагол to be и подлежащее.

Отрицательные предложения — We were not (weren’t) having breakfast at 5. После глагола to be ставится частица not (не).

Совместное использование двух времён в одном предложении

Очень часто

Past Simple и Past Continuous используются бок о бок в одном предложении. Самое главное в этом случае правильно определить, какое время в каком случае использовать. Рассмотрим пример: Sally came when I was having breakfast. Сэлли пришла, когда я завтракал. Сравним два действия. Одно из них имеет продолжительный характер — завтракать, другое разовый, быстрый характер — приходить. Таким образом, когда в одном предложении сталкиваются два прошедших действия — нужно выбирать, рассуждая относительно того, какое действие длилось дольше, а какое случилось быстро. В таких случаях два предложения соединяются обычно при помощи союзов when (когда) и while (в то время, как)

Примеры из художественной литературы

A chill wind was blowing that nipped him sharply and bit with especial venom into his wounded shoulder. // Jack London «The Call Of the Wild»

She was trying to see it in a mirror behind the counter without letting the truck driver know, and so she

pretended to push a bit of hair to neatness. // John Steinbeck «The Grapes Of Wrath»

The man was limping on towards this latter, as if he were the pirate come to life, and come down, and going back to hook himself up again. // Charles Dickens «Great Expectations»

Система изученных времен (Present Simple, Past Simple, Future Simple, Past Continuous, Present Continuous, Present Perfect)

На данном уроке мы вспомним грамматические времена (Present Simple, Past Simple, Future Simple, Past Continuous, Present Continuous, Present Perfect) и обратим внимание на разницу их употребления

В английском языке, как и в русском, действие может быть выражено в настоящем (present), прошедшем (past) и будущем (future) времени. Группы Simple, Continuous и Perfect помогают нам точно выразить, каким образом совершается действие в настоящем, прошлом и будущем. То есть, чтобы правильно выбрать грамматическую форму глагола, нужно ответить на два вопроса: когда произошло действие (When?) и как (How?).

Рис. 1 (Источник)

Рис. 2 (Источник)

Времена группыSimple – это простые время, которые используются для описания фактов, привычек, повторяющихсядействий.

Если необходимо описать факты, привычки или повторяющиеся действия в настоящем, то используют Present Simple, если в прошедшем – то Past Simple, и если в будущем – то Future Simple.

Пример:

Present Simple

They go to work by bus. – Они ездят на работу на автобусе.

They do not go to work by car. – Они ездят на работу не на машине.

Do they go to work by bus? – Они ездят на работу на автобусе?  

Tom goes to the gym. – Том ходит в спортзал.

Tom doesn’t go to the gym on Saturdays. – Том не ходит в спортзал по субботам.

Does he go to the gym on Sundays? – Он ходит в спортзал по воскресеньям?

London is in England. – Лондон находится в Англии.

London is not in Spain. – Лондон находится не в Испании.

Is London a big city? – Лондон большой город?

Past Simple

I visited my grandmother last Thursday. – Я навестил бабушку в прошлый четверг.

My cousin did not visit her. – Мой двоюродный брат не навещал ее.

Who did you visit last Thursday? – Кого ты навещал в прошлый четверг?

We saw a beautiful rainbow yesterday. – Мы видели вчера красивую радугу.

Pity, but I didn’t see it. – Жаль, но я не видел ее.

Where did you see it? – Где вы ее видели?

He was happy to see her. – Он был счастлив ее видеть.

He was not happy to see her. – Он не был счастлив ее видеть.

Was he happy to see her? – Был ли он счастлив ее видеть?

Future Simple

He will see his friend tomorrow. – Он увидит своего друга завтра.

He will not (won’t) see his friend tomorrow. – Он не увидит своего друга завтра.

Will he see his friend tomorrow? – Увидит ли он своего друга завтра?

They will take English lessons twice a week. – У них будут уроки английского дважды в неделю.

They will not take English lessons twice a week. – У них не будет уроков английского дважды в неделю.

Will they take English lessons twice a week? – Будут ли у них уроки английского дважды в неделю?

Рис. 3 (Источник)

Слово “continuous” в переводе означает «длительный», таким образом, времена группы Continuous описывают действия в процессе, которые занимают/занимали какое-то время. Если процесс происходит в настоящем, то это Present Continuous, если же он происходил в какое-то время в прошлом, то это Past

Continuous.

Пример:

Present Continuous

I am listening to music at the moment. – Я слушаю музыку сейчас.

I am not listening to you. – Я не слушаю тебя.

What am I listening to? – Что я слушаю?

She is reading a book now. – Она читает книгу сейчас.

She is not reading a magazine. – Она не читает журнал.

Why is she reading a book? – Почему она читает книгу?

They are writing an exercise now. – Они пишут упражнение сейчас.

They are not writing a letter. – Они не пишут письмо.

Are they writing an exercise? – Они пишут упражнение?

Past Continuous

Nelly was talking on the phone at 3 o’clock. – Нелли говорила по телефону в 3 часа.

Nelly was not talking on the phone at 5 o’clock. – Нелли не говорила по телефону в 5.

When was Nelly talking on the phone? – Когда Нелли говорила по телефону?

We were planting the trees all morning yesterday. – Мы сажали деревья все утро вчера.

We were not planting the bushes all morning yesterday. – Мы не сажали кусты все утро вчера.

Were we planting the trees all morning yesterday? – Мы сажали деревья все утро вчера?

Рис. 4 (Источник)

Время Present Perfect используется, если необходимо рассказать о действии, которое было в прошлом, но результат от этого действия актуален в данный момент.

Пример:

They have seen this film. – Они видели этот фильм.

They have not seen this film. – Они не видели этот фильм.

Have they seen this film? – Они видели этот фильм?

Mary has broken my computer. – Мэри сломала мой компьютер.

Mary has not broken my mobile phone. – Мэри не сломала мой телефон.

What has Mary broken? – Что сломала Мэри?

Для того чтобы правильно выбрать грамматическое время в предложении, необходимо обратить внимание на «слова-подсказки», или «слова-сигналы».

Present Simple	usually, always, often, every day, sometimes, regularly, seldom, never
Past Simple	last week, yesterday, last month, days ago, the other day, long time ago
Future Simple	soon, tomorrow, next Monday, in the future

 

Present Continuous	still, at the moment, at present, this minute
Past Continuous	at six o’clock yesterday, when my father came, while
Present Perfect	since, for, ever, never, just, already, yet

Past Simple, Past Continuous: правила и примеры

Небольшими, но уверенными шагами мы с вами изучаем английские времена! Не всё так и сложно, как казалось, главное чуть-чуть терпения и уверенности в своей неотразимости 🙂 Сегодня на повестке дня: Past Simple (Indefinite) и Past Continuous — группы времен из прошлого. Это одни из основных времен, поэтому отнеситесь к их изучению серьезно. Ну что вперёд!

Прошедшее время — Past Simple (Past Indefinite)

Правило образования:

«+» утверждение: к глаголу прибавляем окончание -ed (если это правильный глагол), если же неправильный — 2 форма глагола.

«-» отрицание: didn’t + глагол (инфинитив)

«?» вопрос: did + … + глагол (инфинитив)

Когда употребляется?

• Обозначает что-то характерное в прошлом

When a boy he played tennis for the Youth League.

• Используется со словами часто, редко, никогда (имеем в виду действие в прошлом)

In winter he never (always, usually) played snowballs.

Past Indefinite обозначает действие в прошлом, которое не связано с настоящим.

• Когда речь идёт об историческом событии, или мы говорим об умершем человеке (здесь не может быть Present Perfect)

Past Simple обозначает действие, которое произошло в точно указанный момент прошлого времени. Может задать вопрос КОГДА? (WHEN?)

Индикаторы

• last week, last year, last month, last day
• two (three, five) days ago
• the day before yesterday (позавчера)
• the other day (в один из прошедших дней)
• in May (August, November)
• on the 7th of December
• in 1997
• in the 16th century
• when he came
• while he was travelling in Amsterdam…
• once I bought this car

Прошедшее время — Past Continuous

Обозначает действие, которое протекало в определённый момент или ограниченный промежуток времени в прошлом.

I was sitting all day yesterday.

Правило образования

 was / were + глагол с —ing окончанием

Индикаторы

• all day yesterday
• the whole day
• from 7 to 9
• at this time
• when they arrived
• while they were playing the piano

Как расставить времена в предложении с when, while, as в ситуации прошедшего времени?

Смотри, действия в двух частях одновременные или последовательные?

• ПОСЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ

Past Indefinite — Past Indefinite

Пример:

When he locked the door, he remembered that…

• ОДНОВРЕМЕННЫЕ

Необходимо решить, какое действие носило длительный характер (Past Continuous), а какое краткий характер (Past Indefinite)

Примеры:

He was typing the article, she was writing the thesis. — Оба действия носят длительный характер

When they were having lunch, his sister phoned from Mexico. — 1 действие носит длительный характер, 2 — краткий характер!

О временах группы Present можно прочесть в предыдущей статье.
