Past continuous: potvrdni oblik
Ukratko
was / were + glagol-ing: radnja u toku u nekom trenutku u prošlosti.
| Subjekat | Oblik |
|---|---|
| I | was waiting |
| you (one) | were waiting |
| he / she / it | was waiting |
| we | were waiting |
| you (several) | were waiting |
| they | were waiting |
you (i ti i vi) uvek ide sa were. Menja se samo was/were, a -ing oblik je isti za sve. Bez skraćivanja: I was waiting. Vremenske rečenice počinju sa it: It was raining.
A2 · Lekcija 3 · Past continuous: potvrdni oblik
Detaljno objašnjenje iz lekcije u kojoj se ovo pravilo uči
Kad na srpskom kažete Padala je kiša ili Sedeli smo napolju kad je počela oluja, glagol u nesvršenom vidu slika radnju koja je trajala u nekom trenutku u prošlosti: počela je ranije i još nije bila završena. Engleski za tu sliku ima posebno vreme, past continuous: I was waiting, it was raining, they were swimming.
Oba dela već znate: was / were iz prošlog vremena glagola be i -ing oblik iz present continuous. Ovo vreme ih samo spaja: was / were + glagol-ing.
| Subjekat | was / were | -ing oblik | Primer |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | was | waiting | I was waiting for the bus in the rain. |
| you (one person) | were | standing | You were standing in the snow without a coat. |
| he / she / it | was | snowing | It was snowing all night. |
| we | were | sitting | We were sitting on the beach. |
| you (several people) | were | playing | You were both playing outside. |
| they | were | swimming | The children were swimming in the lake. |
Šta se menja, a šta ne
- Menja se samo was / were, i to kao u I was late / they were late: was za I i za svako treće lice jednine (the wind, my brother), were za you, we, they i svaku množinu (the clouds, the children).
- you uvek traži were, i kad je u pitanju jedna osoba (one person = ti) i kad ih je više (several people = vi). Srpsko ti si bio navodi na was, ali takav oblik ne postoji.
- -ing oblik se nikad ne menja i piše se kao u present continuous: rain → raining, shine → shining, sit → sitting.
- Vremenske rečenice moraju imati subjekat it. Srpski kaže samo Padao je sneg ili Duvalo je, a engleski traži It was snowing. Bez it rečenica je pogrešna.
Kada, a kada ne
Srpski nesvršeni vid pokriva više od ovog vremena, pa ne prevodite svaki nesvršeni glagol sa was / were + -ing. Past continuous je samo za radnju koja je bila u toku u određenom trenutku. Taj trenutak se često i kaže: at seven this morning, last night, all afternoon, ili when + ono što se dogodilo usred radnje. Tu je raspodela ista kao u srpskom: radnja koja je trajala (Sedeli smo...) ide u past continuous, a ona koja ju je prekinula (...kad je počela, svršeni vid) ide u past simple: We were sitting outside when the storm started.
Radnja koja se ponavljala ili bila navika (Svakog leta smo plivali u jezeru) i radnja čije je celo trajanje izmereno (Čekao sam dva sata) na engleskom idu u past simple. Dve radnje mogu teći uporedo, i svaka dobija svoj was ili were po svom subjektu: The sun was shining and the birds were singing.
Ne skraćujte was i were. U sadašnjem vremenu postoje I'm waiting i we're sitting, ali u prošlom nema kraćeg oblika: uvek se piše pun oblik, I was waiting, we were sitting.
Ne prenosite glagole stanja iz srpskog. Želeo sam, znao sam, voleo sam jesu nesvršeni glagoli, ali want, know i like ne dobijaju -ing u ovom vremenu. Recite I wanted a coat, a ne I was wanting a coat. Past continuous je za radnje koje traju: kiša koja pada, čekanje, vožnja, igra.
