Past Perfect Continuous




           prezentare
Schema
   Afirmativ: S + had + been + V-ing…
   Negativ: S + had + not + been + V-ing…
   Interogativ: Had + S + been + V-ing…?

Expresii specifice:
 By (până, până la)
 By the time (până cand)
 Until (până; până când)
 Before (inainte)
 Since, for…etc.
utilizare

   Exprima o actiune trecuta care s-a desfasurat pe o
    perioada de timp inaintea unui moment trecut sau a
    altei actiuni trecute.
   Prima actiune (sau actiuni simultane) care se
    desfasoara cronologic se pun cu Past Perfect
    Continuous. Urmatoarea actiune (sau actiuni)
    desfasurate cronologic se pun cu Past Simple.
   Se poate traduce cu mai-mult-ca-perfectul din
    romana (ex. “mancase”), dar si cu perfectul compus
    (ex. “a mancat”).
exemple
   Era somnoros atunci pentru ca se uitase (s-a uitat) la
    filme toata noaptea.
   He was sleepy then because he had been watching
    films all night long.

Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a se uita”
   (deci Past Perfect Continuous), care este anterioara
   actiunii de “a fi somnoros”. Cu alte cuvinte, actiunea
   de “a se uita” este anterioara actiunii de “a fi
   somnoros”.
exemple
   O asteptase (a asteptat-o) aproape o ora inainte ca
    ea sa vina.
   He had been waiting for her for almost an hour
    before she came.

Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a
   astepta”(deci Past Perfect Continuous), urmatoarea
   este “a veni” (deci Past Simple). Cu alte cuvinte,
   actiunea de “a astepta” este anterioara actiunii de “a
   veni”.
exemple
   Andy a incercat sa repare masina timp de 20 de
    minute pana cand a sosit mecanicul.
   Andy had been trying to fix the car for twenty
    minutes by the time the mechanic arrived.

Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a
   incerca”(deci Past Perfect Continuous), urmatoarea
   este “a sosi” (deci Past Simple). Cu alte cuvinte,
   actiunea de “a incerca” este anterioara actiunii de “a
   sosi”.
Atentie!



 Chiar  daca situatia comunicata cere un Past
  Perfect Continuous, totusi, daca verbul are
  restrictie la un timp continuu, atunci se pune
  Past Perfect Simple.
Verbe care NU pot fi folosite la un timp continuu


 Verbele  de perceptie (to see, to taste, to
  smell, to hear etc.)
 Alte verbe ca: to be, to have, to think, to
  believe, to love, to like, to hate, to know,to
  understand, to want, to prefer, to mean, to
  seem, to belong, to remember…etc.
 pentru detalii vezi prezentarea Present
  Simple/Continuous (diferente)
exemplu
   Il cunoscusem de mult timp inainte ca el sa ma
    ceara de sotie.
   I had known him for a long time before he proposed
    to me.

Observatie:
Actiunea “a cunoaste” este desfasurata pe o perioada
  de timp inaintea actiunii “a cere de sotie”, insa NU
  putem folosi Past Perfect Continuous pentru ca
  verbul “to know” NU poate fi folosit la un timp
  continuu.
