Основное содержание урока

Когда речь идёт о прошлом, употребляются разные времена в зависимости от того, в какой момент времени они происходили. Определить этот момент можно по обстоятельствам времени или по контексту.

Past Simple употребляется, когда действия произошли в прошлом и с настоящим моментом не связаны.

Some dinosaurs ate plants.

Past Simple правильных глаголов образуется путём прибавления окончания -ed к основе. Неправильные глаголы изменяются индивидуально.

look + -ed = looked

find – found

Указатели времени, употребляемые в Past Simple, – это yesterday, last week, a year ago, long ago, in 1988 и так далее.

yesterday
last (week, month, year, etc.)
ago (a week ago, a month ago, etc.)
long ago
in 1988

Past Continuous употребляется для описания действий в прошлом, происходивших в процессе, обычно в определённое время.

The man was cleaning some fish.

– Человек чистил рыбу. (что делал? – чистил, находился в процессе чистки)

Сказуемое состоит из двух частей: вспомогательного глагола to be в формах was для единственного числа, were для множественного числа и смыслового глагола в форме -ing.

was + Ving

were + Ving

Указатели времени, употребляемые в Past Continuous – это while, when, as, all (day, morning и так далее).

while
when
as
all (day, morning, etc.)

Past Perfect употребляется, когда речь идёт о действии в прошлом, которое произошло раньше другого действия в прошлом.

The man found a tie which his friend had lost a few weeks before. – Человек нашёл галстук, который его друг потерял несколькими неделями раньше. (Сначала друг потерял галстук – действие № 1, затем этот человек его нашёл – действие № 2.)

Сказуемое состоит из двух частей: вспомогательного глагола had и третьей формы смыслового глагола.

had + V3

Указатели времени, употребляемые в Past Perfect, – это before, after, already, just, till/until, when, by, by the time, never, for, since.

before
after
already
just
till/until
when
by
by the time
never
for
since

Past Perfect Continuous подчёркивает длительность действия, которое началось и закончилось в прошлом перед другим действием в прошлом.

His friend had been staying at the hotel a few weeks before he found his tie. – Его друг проживал в этом отеле несколькими неделями раньше до того, как он нашёл его галстук. (Сначала друг жил в отеле – длительное действие № 1, а через некоторое время был найден галстук – действие № 2, который он там оставил.)

Сказуемое состоит из трёх частей: вспомогательный глагол had + been + смысловой глагол в форме -ing.

had + been + Ving

Указатели времени, употребляемые в Past Perfect Continuous– это before, till/until, for, since, how long.

before
till/until
for
since
how long

Used to/Would (always, often и так далее) + начальная форма глагола без to используется, когда речь идёт о повторяющихся действиях в прошлом, которые сейчас не происходят.

Например: She would/used to play tennis three times a week when she was a teenager.

Главное – это то, что действие повторялось, и употребление данной конструкции подчёркивает этот факт. Если действие было единичным, то употребляется Past Simple.

Например: Once I lost Mum’s purse when I was a little boy.
