Continuous - Продолженное время

В отличие от Простого времени, которое используется, когда имеется в виду действие как факт, действие регулярное, обычное, действие "вообще", причем нас не интересует его продолжительность.

1. Самое основное смысловое значение Продолженного времени:

Оно используется, когда необходимо подчеркнуть, что действие находится в процессе выполнения в какой-то момент времени:

Сейчас я пишу. - То есть действие под названием "писать" происходит в настоящий момент. I am writing now.

Вчера, когда ты позвонил, я писал письмо. - То есть, действие под названием "писать" происходило (длилось) именно в момент звонка. Yesterday, when you called me, I was writing a letter.

Завтра не звони мне в пять часов, потому что я буду смотреть телевизор. - То есть, действие под названием "смотреть телевизор" будет в процессе (длится) в пять часов. Don"t call me tomorrow at 5 o"clock, because I will be watching TV.

Как видно из приведенных примеров конкретный момент времени, когда происходило действие, может быть выражено или прямым указанием времени (at 5 o " clock - в пять часов), или временными наречиями (типа now - сейчас) или другим действием, выраженным Простым (Simple ) временем (when you called me ).

2. Утвердительная форма Продолженного времени образуется: вспомогательный глагол to be в нужной форме плюс смысловой глагол с окончанием - ing .

I am writing.

You are writing

He is writing.

They are writing.

I was writing.

You were writing.

He was writing

They were writing.

I will be writing.

You will be writing.

He will be writing.

They will be writing.

3. Отрицательная форма образуется: глагол to be в нужной форме плюс отрицательная частица NOT плюссмысловой глагол с окончанием - ing . (Обрати внимание, что в будущем Продолженном отрицательная частица not ставится после will . Это правило про отрицание проще запомнить, используя термин "первого вспомогательного глагола" - отрицание образуется при помощи частицы not , которая ставится после первого вспомогательного глагола. В прошедшем и настоящем вспомогательный глагол один, то есть он же и первый. А в будущем их два - will be , поэтому ставим после первого - то есть после will )

I am not writing.

You are not (aren"t) writing.

He is not (isn"t) writing.

I was not (wasn"t) writing.

You were not (weren"t) writing.

I will not (won"t) be writing.

You will not (won"t) be writing.

4. Вопрос образуется постановкой ("выносом") вспомогательного глагола to be в нужной форме перед подлежащим. (Обрати внимание, что в будущем времени "выносится" will , а не be ). (Или опять же "правило первого вспомогательного глагола" - в вопросительной форме первый вспомогательный глагол выносится перед подлежащим. Запомни это правило "первого вспомогательного глагола" - оно пригодится и при изучении других времен, например Перфекта.)

Примеры вопросов с ответами - краткими и полными:

Am I am writing? - Yes, I am. I am writing./ No, I am not. I am not writing.

Are you writing? - Yes, you are. You are writing./ No, you are not (aren"t). You are not (aren"t) writing.

Is he writing? - Yes, he is. He is writing./ No, he is not (isn"t). He is not (isn"t)writing.

Was I writing? - Yes, I was. I was writing./ No, I was not (wasn"t). I was not (wasn"t) writing.

Were you writing? - Yes, you were. You were writing./No, you were not (weren"t). You were not (weren"t) writing.

Will I be writing? - Yes, I will. I will be writing./ No, I will not (won"t). I will not (won"t) be writing.

Will you be writing? - Yes, you will. You will be writing./ No, you will not (won"t). You will not (won"t) be writing.

Вспомогательный материал:

Нужные формы глагола to be :

Прошедшее время:

единственное число was , множественное число were .

Настоящее время:

am - единственное число, первое лицо

is - единственное число, третье лицо

are - множественное число всех лиц. (Не забывай, что в английском второе лицо всегда только множественное число you are , you were )

Будущее время:

will be - в современном английском для всех лиц и чисел. (хотя в классической грамматике для первого лица единственного и множественного числа - shall be . Но это сейчас редко используется)

Правила правописания глаголов с - ing :

1. Если глагол оканчивается на -е, она отбрасывается перед - ing :

Smoke - smoking

Hope- hoping

Исключение: be - being , а также глаголы, оканчивающиеся на - ee :

See - seeing, agree - agreeing.

2. Буква y перед - ing не меняется:

Say - saying

Try - trying.

2. Если при прибавлении - ing , ударный закрытый слог открывается, последняя согласная глагола удваивается, чтобы не менялось произношение этого слога:

Put - putting

Get - getting

А теперь упражнения на закрепление:

1. Вставь нужные глаголы в нужной форме из приведенного списка:

Build, come, have, play, cook, stand, swim

2. Составь предложения в Продолженном времени из данных слов, сделай их в прошедшем, настоящем и будущем утвердительными, отрицательными и вопросительными с краткими ответами, добавив необходимые по смыслу обстоятельства времени. То есть, на каждый пункт получится по 9 предложений плюс краткие ответы на вопросы. Если пользоваться «буфером» для одинаковых частей предложений, то дело пойдет быстрее.

Сейчас вы читаете этот текст. Нет, автор статьи не впадает в маразм, а просто использовал в первом же предложении то, что вам придется переводить на английский во времени Continuous. Наверное, из всех времен это - самое простое. Потому что разгадать его очень легко: глагол в форме Continuous/Progressive (длительный/продолженный) выражает только такое действие, которое протекает в определенный промежуток времени и еще не завершилось.

Например: сейчас вы читаете это предложение (Present Continuous). Вчера, когда вы проснулись, на улице шел снег (в случае со снегом - Past Continuous). А через пару месяцев вы будете собирать чемодан для поездки на море (Future Continuous).

Единственной сложностью, которую смогли найти только ленивые, является использование вспомогательного глагола для образования Continuous. И глагол этот - to be . Если вы были хорошим учеником, то уже давно знаете все его формы:

Am (для себя, любимого)
Is (для кого-то другого в единственном числе)
Are (для кого-то другого во множественном числе)
Was (в прошедшем времени для кого-то одного)
Were (в прошедшем времени для нескольких)
Will be (в будущем времени для всех; можно еще использовать shall для первого лица)

Ну и еще одна особенность - это инговые окончания (-ing ). Так называемая "инговая" форма - и есть Причастие I .

1. Present Continuous (Настоящее продолженое время)

Употребляется для обозначения действия, которое совершается прямо сейчас (в момент речи) или в настоящий период времени:
«Падают, падают, падают, падают листья» .

Маркеры:
now, still, at present, at the moment, while, meanwhile.

Утвердительная форма образуется с помощью глагола to be + основной глагол с окончанием -ing :
I am reading. He is reading. You are reading.

Отрицательная форма: to be + not + глагол с -ing .
They are not reading.

Вопросительная форма:
Are they reading?

2. Past Continuous (Прошедшее продолженное время)

Употребляется для обозначения действия, которое совершалось в определенный момент в прошлом:
«Шумел камыш, деревья гнулись».

Маркеры:
still, while, during, for 3 hours/days/weeks, all day long yesterday, from … till …

Утвердительная форма: was/were + глагол с -ing .
I was eating all day long.

Отрицательная форма: was/were + not + глагол с -ing .
They were not playing.

Вопросительная форма: Was she playing?

3. Future Continuous (Будущее продолженное время)

Обозначает действие, которое будет совершаться в определенный промежуток времени или момент в будущем: «Я буду долго гнать велосипед».

Маркеры:
still, from … to …, meanwhile, for 3 hours/days/years, during.

Утвердительная форма: will/shall + be + глагол с -ing .
They will be laughing.

Отрицательная форма: will/shall + not + be + глагол с -ing.
I will not be crying.

Вопросительная форма: Will it be raining?

Есть, конечно, еще некоторые нюансы использования Present Continuous, но по большому счету по мелочи можно набрать информации еще на пару-тройку томиков по грамматике. Для начала достаточно того, что описано в этой статье. Для закрепления материала настоятельно рекомендуем начать шлифовать полученные знания, прослушав урок о длящихся временах в музыкально-развлекательно-увлекательной подаче. Понравится самым искушенным меломанам и англоманам!
