Prošlo vreme od there is / there are
Ukratko
| jednina / nebrojivo | množina | |
|---|---|---|
| + | There was a park. | There were two parks. |
| - | There wasn't a park. | There weren't any parks. |
| ? | Was there a park? | Were there any parks? |
| kratak odgovor | Yes, there was. / No, there wasn't. | Yes, there were. / No, there weren't. |
Glagol se slaže sa imenicom IZA sebe, ne sa there. Množina traži were i posle broja, iako mi kažemo bilo je dva.
A2 · Lekcija 1 · There was / there were: šta je nekad postojalo
Detaljno objašnjenje iz lekcije u kojoj se ovo pravilo uči
Već znaš there is / there are (ima, postoji) i prošlo vreme glagola be: was za jedno, were za više. Kad ih spojiš, dobiješ there was / there were. Tako kažeš kakvo je neko mesto nekad bilo, isto kao naše U mom gradu je bio bioskop ili Bilo je mnogo radnji.
Šta je postojalo
Umesto is stavi was, umesto are stavi were. Sve ostalo ostaje isto. Srpskoj rečenici ne treba nikakva reč na početku (Na uglu je bila pekara), a engleskoj treba. Na prvom mestu je there, iza njega glagol, pa ono što je postojalo, a mesto dolazi na kraj. Bez there ta rečenica na engleskom ne postoji.
| Sada | U prošlosti | Koristi se uz |
|---|---|---|
| There is a bakery on the corner. | There was a bakery on the corner. | jednu stvar (imenica u jednini) |
| There is a lot of noise. | There was a lot of noise. | nešto što se ne broji (nebrojiva imenica) |
| There are two schools. | There were two schools. | više stvari (imenica u množini) |
Glagol se slaže sa imenicom iza sebe, a ne sa there. Tu se srpski i engleski razilaze. Naše bilo je ostaje isto šta god dolazi posle: bilo je dva parka, bilo je mnogo ljudi, nije bilo škola. U engleskom množina uvek traži were, pa i posle broja i posle a lot of ili many: There were two schools. There were a lot of cars. Ako je stvar jedna ili je imenica nebrojiva, ide was. Ako ih je više, ide were.
Šta nije postojalo
Iza glagola dodaj not. U govoru se skoro uvek skraćuje u wasn't i weren't. Srpski tu stavlja imenicu u genitiv, a glagol ostavlja isti (nije bilo supermarketa, nije bilo semafora). Engleski imenicu ne menja, a glagol se i dalje ravna prema tome da li je imenica u jednini ili množini. Uz jedninu ostaje a / an, a uz množinu i nebrojive imenice ide any.
| Pun oblik | Skraćeni oblik | Primer |
|---|---|---|
| there was not | there wasn't | There wasn't a supermarket in the village. |
| there were not | there weren't | There weren't any traffic lights on the main road. |
Engleski trpi samo jednu negaciju. U našem nije bilo nikakvih semafora ima dve, a na engleskom je negacija samo u weren't. Posle nje ide any, a ne no.
Pitanje da li je nešto postojalo
Srpski pitanje pravi pomoću da li (Da li je bilo biblioteke?). Engleski umesto toga stavlja glagol ispred there: Was there ...?, Were there ...? U kratkom odgovoru nemoj reći samo yes ili no. Ponovi there i glagol, kao što mi kažemo jeste, bilo je. Uz množinu i nebrojive imenice ide any, isto kao u sadašnjem vremenu.
| Pitanje | Kratki odgovori |
|---|---|
| Was there a library near your house? | Yes, there was. / No, there wasn't. |
| Were there any factories in your town? | Yes, there were. / No, there weren't. |
Kad pitaš za broj ili količinu, na početak stavi how many ili how much, a red reči se ne menja: How many shops were there? How much traffic was there?
Srpski govornik najčešće pogreši tako što stavi was ispred množine, jer mu bilo je zvuči kao jednina. Zato pre glagola pogledaj imenicu i odluči da li je stvar jedna ili ih je više. U pitanju imenica dolazi tek na kraju, pa tu pazi posebno: Were there any hills? (množina), ali Was there a river? (jednina).
They were i there were zvuče slično, ali ne znače isto. They were znači oni su bili i govori o ljudima ili stvarima koje si već pomenuo (My grandparents? They were farmers.). There were znači bilo je, postojalo je (There were farms all around the town.).
