PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE – UPORABA

V tem poglavju bomo spoznali enega izmed angleških preteklikov, ki se imenuje Past Continuous. Želite opisati dogodke ali dejanja, ki so trajala dlje časa v preteklosti? Berite dalje in naučili se boste, kako to storimo v angleščini.

Past Continuous Angleži uporabljajo za opisovanje dogodkov iz preteklosti, ki:

• so se dogajali dlje časa v preteklosti,
• so trajali v preteklosti in so se zaključili.

Pogosta prislovna določila časa (v slovenščini tudi druge besedne vrste), ki nam pomagajo prepoznati, kdaj uporabimo čas Past Continuous Tense so:

when (ko), while (medtem ko).

PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE TVORJENJE POVEDI

Past Continuous – trdilne povedi

Trdilne povedi (+) se v času Past Continuous se tvori, tako da uporabimo pomožni glagol were za osebe: you, we in they,  za prvo in tretjo osebo ednine, torej I, he, she, it, pa pomožni glagol was. Nato pomožnemu glagolu were/was dodamo še pravilni glagol s končnico –ing.

You/ We/ They WERE CLEANING the house.

I/ He/ She/ It WAS CLEANING the house.

Kadar dodajamo končnico –ing moramo paziti na sledeča pravila:

(!) Pri kratih/enozložnih glagolih se končni soglasnik podvoji, kadar pred njim stoji en samoglasnik. Ponavadi se podvojijo glasovi: t, p, d, m, n, l, r, b, g.

stop→stopping, travel→travelling…

(!) Kadar se glagol konča na –e, potem končni –e izpustimo in dodamo končnico -ing

write→writing, make→making

(!) Kadar se glagol konča na –ie, potem moramo –ie spremeniti v –y in dodati končnico –ing

tie→tying, die→dying…

Past Continuous – nikalne povedi

Nikalne povedi (-) se v času Past Continuous tvori tako, da poved zanikamo z WEREN’T (were not) pri osebah: you, we, they in z WASN’T (was not) pri osebah I, he, she, it. (!) Glagol, ki sledi nikalnici weren’t/wasn’t, ohrani končnico –ing pri vseh osebah.

You/ We/ They WEREN’T CLEANING the house.

I/ He/ She/ It WASN’T CLEANING the house.

Past Continuous – vprašalne povedi

Vprašalne povedi (?) v času Past Continuous tvorimo, tako da na začetek postavimo pomožni glagol WERE, za osebe: you, we, they in pomožni glagol WAS pred osebe: I, he, she, it. Glagol, ki sledi osebi, ohrani končnico -ingv. Besedni vrstni red v vprašalni povedi je torej: Were/Was, oseba in glagol z -ing končnico.

Primeri (nepravilni glagoli):

WERE you/ we/ they CLEANING the house?

WAS I/ he/ she/ it CLEANING the house?
