Минулий тривалий час (the past continuous tense)
Past Continuous утворюється з допоміжного дієслова to be в Past Indefinite та дієприкметника теперішнього часу основного дієслова:
І was working We were working
He was working You were working
She was working They were working
It was working
У питальній формі допоміжне дієслово ставиться перед підметом:
What were you telling him? – Що ви йому говорили?
У заперечній формі після допоміжного дієслова вживається частка not:
І was not working in the evening. – Я не працював увечері.
В усному мовленні в заперечній і питально-заперечній формах замість was not і were not вживаються переважно скорочені форми wasn't і weren't:
Не wasn't working. – Wasn't he working?
They weren't working. – Weren't they working?
Вживання Past Continuous
Past Continuous вживається для вираження дії, що відбувалась, тривала в певний момент у минулому. На час дії вказують також обставинні слова типу at two o'clock, at midnight, at that moment, at 5 o'clock, або підрядні речення з дієсловом-присудком у Past Indefinite:
Не was working at his English at that time. – Він працював над англійською мовою в той час.
Carrie was sitting by the window when he came in. – Keppi сиділа біля вікна, коли він увійшов.
Past Continuous вживається для вираження дії, що тривала протягом якогось періоду часу в минулому:
In the spring of the year 1881 he was visiting his old schoolfellow. – Навесні 1881 року він гостював у свого старого шкільного товариша.
Майбутній тривалий час (the future continuous tense)
Future Continuous утворюється з допоміжного дієслова to be в Future Indefinite та дієприкметника теперішнього часу основного дієслова:
І shall be working He will be working
We shall be working She will be working
It will be working
You will be working
They will be working
У питальній формі допоміжне дієслово shall або will ставиться перед підметом:
Will they be working?
У заперечній формі після допоміжного дієслова shall або will вживається заперечна частка not:
They will not be working.
В усному мовленні часто вживаються ті самі скорочення, що й у Future Indefinite.
Вживання Future Continuous
Future Continuous вживається для вираження тривалої дії, що відбуватиметься в якийсь момент або період часу в майбутньому:
Meet me at two o'clock. – Зустрінемось о другій годині.
I’II be looking out for you. – Я чекатиму на тебе.
We'll be playing all morning. – Ми будемо грати весь ранок.
У сучасній англійській мові Future Continuous часто вживається у тому ж значенні, що й Future Indefinite, тобто виражає майбутню дію:
You won't be coming back here any more. – Ви більше сюди не повернетесь.
From now on I'll be asking thousands of questions. – Відтепер я буду ставити тисячі запитань.
He'll be going to school soon. – Він скоро ходитиме до школи.
Перфектні часи (perfect tenses)
Перфекні (доконані) часи виражають дію, що відбулася до певного моменту чи періоду в теперішньому часі (Present Perfect), минулому (Past Perfect), майбутньому (Future Perfect).
Перфектні часи виражають наявність якогось результату дії, пов'язаної з наступними подіями. Перфектні часи утворюються з відповідних неозначених часів допоміжного дієслова to have та дієприкметника минулого часу (Past Participle) основного дієслова.
