Tekstualno objašnjenje za Past Continuous
Potvrdni oblik
Past Continuous gradi se tako što posle subjekta dodajemo pomoćni glagol to be u prošlom vremenu, koji se menja u zavisnosti od lica, a zatim glavni glagol u sadašnjem participu, odnosno glagol u infinitivu na koji je potrebno da dodamo nastavak -ing.
subjekat + was/were + glagol -ing
Pogledajte u tabeli kako se dato pravilo primenjuje na sva lica:
SUBJECT | AUXILIARY VERB | VERB |
---|---|---|
I | was | jumping |
You | were | jumping |
He/She/It | was | jumping |
We | were | jumping |
You | were | jumping |
They | were | jumping |
Ako se glagol završava na slovo e, potrebno je da to slovo uklonimo, pre nego što dodamo nastavak -ing:
- She was making a cake.
Takođe, ako se glagol sastoji iz jednog ili dva sloga, a da se završava na suglasnik, samoglasnik pa na suglasnik, potrebno je da dupliramo poslednji suglasnik, pa tek onda da dodamo nastavak -ing.
- She was swimming.
Međutim, ako se glagol završava na -ie, potrebno je da to promenimo u -y pre nego što dodamo nastavak -ing.
- The cat was (lie) lying in front of the door.
Odrični oblik
Odrične rečenice, odnosno rečenice u negaciji se grade upotrebom pomoćnog glagola ”to be” u prošlom vremenu, odnosno was/were i rečce not, a zatim dodavanjem glavnog glagola u infinitivu, na koji se dodaje nastavak -ing.
subjekat + was/were + not (wasn’t/weren’t) + glagol -ing
U narednoj tabeli pogledajmo primenu pravila za sva lica:
SUBJECT | TO BE (WAS/WERE) | NOT | VERB-ING |
---|---|---|---|
I | was | not | looking |
You | were | not | looking |
He/She/It | was | not | looking |
We | were | not | looking |
You | were | not | looking |
They | were | not | looking |
Upitni oblik
Upitni oblik se gradi prema sledećem obrascu:
was/were + subjekat + glagol -ing …?
U tabeli je prikazano kako to izgleda za sva lica:
TO BE (WAS/WERE) | SUBJECT | VERB-ING |
---|---|---|
Was | I | looking? |
Were | you | looking? |
Was | he/she/it | looking? |
Were | we | looking? |
Were | you | looking? |
Were | they | looking? |
Ukoliko želimo da postavimo pitanje koje počinje sa upitnim rečima kao što su: who, what, when, where, why, struktura upitne rečenice ostaje ista, a upitnu reč stavljamo kao prvu u rečenici.
- What were you looking for?
