8 Как часто ты обнимаешь своего питомца?
Unit 5
Past Continuous Tense
Прошедшее продолженное время
Это время используется для обозначения действия, которое длилось в прошлом. Чаще всего эта длительность чем-то зафиксирована. Например, у нас есть конкретное время в прошлом или другое действие произошло в этот момент: At 5 pm yesterday Kudjo was reading a book about people. When he was reading, the light went off.
Время Past Continuous часто используется для создания фона или атмосферы повествования.The sun was shining.The birds were singing. The cats were mewing. Kudjo left the house for a walk.
Из примеров уже понятна структура предложения. Она очень похожа на конструкцию Present Continuous, но только глагол to be стоит в форме прошедшего времени – was/were:
подлежащее + was/were + глагол с окончанием ing.
Look at Kudjo
What was he doing at 2 pm yesterday?
He was walking. He was standing on a bench. He was supporting his favorite football team.
EXERCISE 1
Напишите, кто что делал вчера в это время, используя Past Continuous:
For example,
At 5 am we were sleeping.
1 At 7 am I was*****.
2 At 9 am my family were *****.
3 At 11 am my dad was *****.
4 At 2 pm my mum was *****.
5 At 4 pm I was *****.
6 At 6 pm my friend was *****.
7 At 7 pm my neighbors were *****.
8 At 11 pm I was *****.
9 At 2 am everybody was *****.
EXERCISE 2
Давайте придумаем, что каждый делал в тот момент, когда приземлились инопланетяне на вашей улице. Используйте глаголы- подсказки в форме Past Continuous:
For example,
When aliens landed in our yard, we were having lunch.
1 play football
2 cook
3 swim in the pool
4 chase a cat
5 play hide-and-seek
6 grill salmon
7 water strawberries
8 eat raspberries
9 sunbathe
Отрицательное предложение строится таким образом:
подлежащее + was/were + not + глагол с окончанием ing.
He wasn’t frolicking.
В разговорном английском мы используем сокращенные формы wasn’t/ weren’t
EXERCISE 3
Найдите нужный глагол и поставьте его в отрицательную форму: play, fight, walk, look, bark, read, watch, have, hide
That time yesterday…
1 Kudjo ***** a book, he was sleeping on the sofa.
2 Kudjo ***** his favorite series, he was sleeping and having dreams.
3 Kudjo ***** in the park, he was sleeping at home.
4 Kudjo ***** lunch, he was sleeping fast.
5 Kudjo ***** at all, he was sleeping and snoring.
6 Kudjo ***** with another dog, he was sleeping and dreaming about it.
7 Kudjo ***** a bone, he was sleeping with the bone under the pillow.
8 Kudjo ***** football, he was sleeping like a log
9 Kudjo ***** out of the window, he was sleeping under a blanket.
Вопросительные предложения строятся по такому же принципу, как и вопросы в Present Continuous:
(вопросительное слово) + was/were + подлежащее+ глагол с окончанием ing?
What were you doing at 8 o’clock last night?
EXERCISE 4
Поставьте вопрос к выделенному слову:
1 Kudjo was chasing a crow.
2 Kudjo was helping me cook dinner.
3 We were walking in the park.
4 They were fighting because of a ball.
5 Kudjo was lying on the rug.
6 I was writing the book.
7 Kudjo was barking loudly at a garbage-truck.
8 He was sleeping under the table.
9 Kudjo was jumping around a tree to catch a squirrel.
Маркерами для этого времени являются слова и выражения, фиксирующие процесс:
when, while, as, at + время в прошлом. Самый главный маркер while используется для соединения двух одновременных действий:
He was sleeping curled up in a ball while I was working.
