Timpurile modului indicativ

TIMPURILE MODULUI INDICATIV

    Exista doua aspecte in limba engleza: simplu si continuu. In general, timpurile simple se folosesc atunci cand accentul se pune pe actiunea propriu-zisa, iar timpurile continue se folosesc atunci cand accentul se pune pe durata actiunii, pe perioada de timp in care aceasta are loc.
    In explicarea intrebuintarii timpurilor continue se va intalni formularea „actiune in plina desfasurare'. Aceasta inseamna ca actiunea a inceput inainte de momentul la care se face referire si va continua dupa acel moment.
    Exista un numar de verbe in limba engleza care nu se folosesc la forma continua, deoarece ideea de durata e inclusa in continutul lor semantic. Ex. to want, to like, to dislike, to understand, to owe, to matter, to love, to hate, to belong, to believe, to remember, to know.

A. Present Tense Simple
Afirmativ Negativ

    I work I do not (don’t) work
    You work You do not (don’t) work
    He/she/it works He/she/it does not (doesn’t) work
    We work We do not (don’t) work
    You work You do not (don’t) work
    They work They do not (don’t) work

Interogativ

Do I work? Do we work?
Do you work? Do you work?
Does he/she/it work? Do they work?

    Present Tense Simple se foloseste pentru a arata o actiune regulata, obisnuita, in perioada prezenta.
    Ex. What do you do? (Cu ce te ocupi?) I am a student.
    What time do you usually have breakfast?

Present Tense Continuous

    Se conjuga verbul „to be' la timpul prezent si se adauga forma -ing a verbului de conjugat.

Afirmativ

I am working We are working.
You are working You are working
He/she/it is working They are working

Negativ

I am not working.
You are not (aren’t) working.
He/she/it is not (isn’t) working.
We are not (aren’t) working.
You are not (aren’t) working.
They are not (aren’t) working.

Interogativ

Am I working? Are we working?
Are you working? Are you working?
Is he/she/it working? Are they working?

    Present Tense Simple se foloseste pentru a arata o actiune in plina desfasurare in momentul prezent.
    Ex. Where are you going?
    I am going to school.
    De asemenea poate arata o actiune care se desfasoara pe timp limitat in perioada prezenta.
    Ex.: I go to school by bus this week. My father is taking me in his car.
    Uneori se poate folosi timpul Present Tense Continuous cu adverbul always, pentru a arata o actiune repetata. In acest caz, exista o conotatie afectiva (nemultumire) sau actiunea respectiva este caracteristica pentru acea persoana.
    Ex. You are always losing your things.
    You are always grumbling when I ask you to help me in the kitchen.

B. Past Tense Simple

    Past Tense Simple se formeaza prin adaugarea terminatiei – ed in cazul verbelor regulate.
    Ex. to work – worked
    Daca verbul este neregulat, Past Tense trebuie invatat din tabelul de verbe neregulate care indica cele trei forme de baza ale verbului: forma I – infinitiv, forma II- Paste Tense, forma III – participiul trecut.
    Ex. to speak – spoke – spoken

Afirmativ

worked
I/you/he/she/it/we/they spoke

Negativ

work
I/you/he/she/it/we/they did not
speak

Interogativ

work?
Did I/you/he/she/it/we/they
speak?
Forma prescurtata a lui did not este didn’t (I didn’t work).
Past Tense Simple arata o actiune trecuta, terminata, efectuata intr-o perioada de timp trecuta, terminata.
Este timpul de naratiune.
Se traduce, de obicei, cu perfectul compus.
Ex. Yesterday I went for a walk.
(Ieri am mers al plimbare.)
Last year I travelled to England.

(Anul trecut am calatorit in Anglia.)

Past Tense Continuous

    Se formeaza prin conjugarea verbului „to be' la trecut (Past Tense) si adaugarea formei -ing a verbului de conjugat.

Afirmativ

I was working We were working
You were working You were working
He/she/it was working They were working

Negativ

I was not working We were not working
You were not working You were not working
He/she/it was not working They were not working

    Formele prescurtate sunt:

    were not – weren’t They weren’t working.

Interogativ

Was I working? Were we working?
Were you working? Were you working?
Was he/she/it working? Were they working?

    Arata o actiune in plina desfasurare intr-un moment din trecut.
    Se traduce, de obicei, cu imperfectul.
    Ex. This time yesterday, I was watching TV.
    (Ieri pe vremea asta priveam la televizor.)
    Adesea, in aceeasi fraza, este posibil sa apara un verb folosit la Past Continuous si un verb folosit la Past Simple. In acest caz, verbul la Past Continuous (tradus cu imperfectul), reprezinta fundalul de timp pe care se petrece actiunea exprimata de Past Simple (tradus cu perfectul compus).
    Ex. While I was crossing the street, I met John.
    Este, de asemenea, posibil sa apara intr-o fraza timpul Past Continuous in mod repetat. In aceasta situatie, ambele verbe se traduc cu imperfectul, ele aratand actiuni paralele, in plina desfasurare, intr-un moment trecut.
    Ex. While John was reading, his sister was watching TV.
    (In timp ce John citea, sora lui privea la televizor.)

C. Present Perfect Simple

    Timpul Present Perfect Simple se formeaza prin conjugarea verbului „to have' la prezent, la care se adauga forma a treia (participiul trecut) a verbului de conjugat.

Afirmativ

I have worked We have worked
You have worked You have worked
He/she/it has worked They have worked

Negativ

I have not (haven’t) worked.
He/she/it has not (hasn’t) worked.

Interogativ

Have I worked?
Has he/she/it worked?

    Timpul Present Perfect este un timp de relatie. El arata o legatura intre trecut si momentul prezent.
    Timpul Present Perfect Simple se foloseste in urmatoarele situatii:

arata o actiune inceputa in trecut care continua pana in prezent. Cu acest sens se folosesc de obicei prepozitiile since (din, incepand din) si for (de, timp de).

    Ex. I haven’t seen John for two months.

(Nu l-am vazut pe John de doua luni.)
I haven’t seen John since September.
(Nu l-am vazut pe John din septembrie.)
I have known John for two years.
(Il cunosc pe John de doi ani.)
I have known John since 1990.
(Il cunosc pe John din 1990.)

arata o actiune trecuta, efectuata intr-o perioada de timp neterminata. In acest caz, folosirea lui este insotita de adverbe precum: today, this week, this month, this year.

    Ex. I have seen two films this week.

(Am vazut doua filme saptamana aceasta.)

    Daca adverbul de timp este „this morning', folosirea timpului verbal este conditionata de momentul in care se face afirmatia; daca aceasta este in cursul diminetii (pana la ora 12) sau dupa amiaza.

    Ex. ora 10 a.m.

I haven’t got up early this morning.
ora 2 p.m.
I didn’t get up early this morning.
Traducerea celor doua propozitii in limba romana este identica.
Nu m-am sculat devreme azi dimineata.

arata o actiune trecuta, terminata, care are rezultate in prezent sau care, dintr-un motiv sau altul, intereseaza in prezent.

    Ex. Have you seen Hamlet?

    (Ai vazut Hamlet?)
    I have lost my umbrella . I must buy a new one.
    (Mi-am pierdut umbrela. Trebuie sa-mi cumpar una noua.)
    Trebuie precizat faptul ca, daca se mentioneaza momentul trecut in care a avut loc actiunea care intereseaza in prezent sau care are rezultate in prezent, nu mai poate fi folosit timpul Present Perfect. In acest caz, se foloseste Past Simple.
    Ex. I lost my umbrella yesterday. I must buy a new one.
    De asemenea, daca se pune o intrebate referitoare la trecut care incepe cu „when', nu se poate folosi timpul Present Perfect, intrucat „when' reprezinta un moment precizat in trecut.
    Ex. When did you see Hamlet?
    I saw it last week.
    Timpul Present Perfect nu poate fi folosit cu un adverb de timp precizat in trecut.
    Se foloseste cu adverbe de timp neprecizat care leaga trecutul de prezent.
    Adverbe de timp neprecizat care se aseaza intre auxiliar si verb: often, never, seldom, always, ever, already, just.
    Ex. Have you ever been to England?
    (Ai fost vreodata in Anglia?)
    No, I have never been to England.
    Yes, I have often been to England.
    Adverbe de timp neprecizat care stau la sfarsitul propozitiei: lately, yet (in propozitii negative).
    Ex. He hasn’t returned home yet.
    (El nu s-a intors inca acasa.)
    I haven’t seen him lately.
    (Nu l-am vazut in ultimul timp.)
    Dupa cum se poate observa, timpul Present Perfect Simple se traduce in romaneste fie cu prezentul, fie cu perfectul compus, in functie de context.

Present Perfect Continuous

    Se formeaza cu Present Perfect Simple al verbului „to be', la care se adauga forma -ing a verbului de conjugat.

Afirmativ

I have been working We have been working
You have been working You have been working
He/she/it has been working They have been working

Negativ

I have not (haven’t) been working.
He has not (hasn’t) been working.

Interogativ

Have I been working?
Has he been working?

    Timpul Present Perfect Continuous arata o actiune in plina desfasurare, cu accent pe durata, intre un moment trecut si prezent.
    Ex. I am tired because I have been working all day.
    (Sunt obosit pentru ca am muncit toata ziua.)
    De asemene, poate arata probabilitatea ca actiunea inceputa in trecut, care continua in prezent, sa continue si in viitor.
    Ex. It has been raining for three hours. If it doesn’t stop soon, we shall have floods.
    (Ploua de trei ore. Daca nu se opreste in curand, vom avea inundatii.)
    Ca si Present Perfect Simple, se poate traduce cu prezentul sau cu perfectul compus din limba romana.

Afirmativ

    Ex. Yesterday at 9 o’clock I had had breakfast.

    (Cand el a intrat in camera, ea batea la masina de o ora.)

Future-in-the-Past Simple

    Se formeaza cu should (persoana I) sau would (toate persoanele), la care se adauga infinitivul verbului de conjugat.

Afirmativ

I (should) would go We (should) would go
You would go You would go
He/she/it would go They would go

Negativ

I (should) would not go We (should) would not go
You would not go You would not go
He/she/it would not go They would not go

    Forma scurta de la „should not' este shouldn’t, iar cea de la „would not' este wouldn’t.
    Acest timp este folosit in concordanta timpurilor pentru a arata o actiune posterioara unui moment sau unei actiuni din trecut.
    Ex. He said he would be late.
    (El a spus ca va intarzia.)
    Intrucat nu poate fi intalnit decat in propozitii secundare (dupa un verb la timpul trecut in propozitia principala), nu se pune problema folosirii lui a interogativ decat in intrebari disjunctive.

Future-in-the-Past Continuous

    Se formeaza cu Future-in-the-Past Simple al verbului „to be', la care se adauga forma -ing a verbului de conjugat.

I should (would) be going.

    (El a spus ca in ziua urmatoare, la ora 3, va calatori spre Anglia.)
