Wstęp

C hcesz skutecznie i szybko opanow ać angielskie czasy? Przygotowujesz się

do egzaminu? A może potrzebujesz kom pendium , po które zawsze m ożesz sięgnąć,

gdy m asz w ątpliwości, co do popraw nego zastosow ania czasów? Repetytorium Lingo

„A ngielski. C zas y ” jest właśnie dla Ciebie.

Książka jest skierowana do uczniów, maturzystów, studentów, osób przygotow u­

jących się do egzam inów językowych, a także wszystkich, którzy potrzebują uporządko­

wania i poszerzenia w iadom ości o czasach angielskich. Uwzględnia materiał wymagany

na nowej m aturze oraz egzam inach takich jak First C ertificate in English czy

C ertificate in A dvanced English. Składa się z trzynastu rozdziałów, klucza

do ćwiczeń, testu spraw dzającego oraz wykazu czasow ników nieregularnych.

Każdy rozdział obejm uje w stępną charakterystykę zagadnień, którym jest

poświęcony, część teoretyczną przedstaw iającą odpow iednie reguły gramatyki,

zilustrowaną p rzykład am i w ra z z ich tłu m aczen iem na polski oraz zestaw ćwiczeń

pozwalających opanować odpow iednie zagadnienia związane z rozwijaniem praktycznej

um iejętności posługiwania się angielskim i czasami.

W języku polskim różnica pom iędzy czasem gram atycznym (tense) a czasem

fizycznym (time) nie jest ta k rozbudow ana jak w angielszczyźnie, w której mamy

np. kilka rodzajów gram atycznych czasu teraźniejszego, w sum ie w podręcznikach

w yróżnia się kilkanaście czasów gram atycznych. W języku polskim m am y tylko czas

przeszły, teraźniejszy i przyszły, co w zasadzie odpow iada podziałowi czasu rzeczywistego.

4
L in G D wstęp

To w zględne bogactw o czasów gram atycznych w języku angielskim bierze się

stąd, że pełnią m.in. takie role znaczeniowe, które w polszczyźnie m ogą być oddawane

przy pom ocy innych środków nie w ystępujących z ko Iei w angielskim , np. zastosowania

aspektu niedokonanego czasow nika (czytać) albo aspektu dokonanego (przeczytać,

wyczytać, doczytać), użycia czasow ników jednokrotnych (grać, spać, chodzić) bądź

w ielokrotnych (grywać, sypiać, chadzać) lub zastosow ania innych w yrazów uszczegóła-

w iających re Iacje czasowe. Repetytorium uw zględnia nawyki językowe czytelnika

polskiego i wychodzi naprzeciw problem om , na jakie zwykle natrafiają Po Iacy uczący się

posługiw ania czasam i angielskimi.

Niniejsza publikacja stanowi w zbogacenie - przede wszystkim o urozm aicony

zestaw starannie dobranych ćwiczeń - odpowiednich rozdziałów repetytorium „Angielski.

Zastosowanie

I Present Simple używamy:

■ Gdy informujemy o trwatym stanie rzeczy, o zdarzeniach mających uniwersalny bądź


powtarzający się charakter

I study at Silesian University. Studiuję na Uniwersytecie Śląskim.


H e works as a clerk. On pracuje jako urzędnik.
S h e writes books. Ona pisze książki.

8
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

■ Gdy mówimy o zachowaniach rutynowych, czynnościach powtarzających się mniej lub


bardziej regularnie.

M y neighbours seldom do the washing Moi sąsiedzi rzadko piorą i prasują.


and ironing.
B en often goes fishing. Ben często chodzi na ryby.
The Smiths usually cook the meals. Państwo Smith zazwyczaj gotują posiłki.

■ Opisując czynności zwyczajowe i powtarzające się często używamy w Present Simple


przysłówków częstotliwości.

always zawsze
usually zazwyczaj
often/frequently często
sometimes czasami
occasionally okazjonalnie
from time to time od czasu do czasu
sporadically sporadycznie
seldom /rarely rzadko
hardly ever prawie nigdy
never nigdy
ever kiedykolwiek
every day/every second day codziennie/co drugi dzień
once/tw ice a week raz/dwa razy na tydzień
every now and then czasami

W angielskim, inaczej niż w języku polskim (np. Ona nigdy niczego nie pożycza), nie stosuje
się podwójnego przeczenia, a więc kiedy zdanie zawiera wyraz przeczący, np. never,
nothing, nobody, nowhere, a także sugerujący przeczenie np. hardly, wówczas
w orzeczeniu zasadniczym nie pojawia się partykuła przecząca not.

Ally never goes out alone a fter dark. Ally nigdy nie wychodzi sama po zmroku
T im has no opinions o f his own. Tim nie ma własnych poglądów.
I have nothing to hide. Nie mam nic do ukrycia.
H is wife hardly notices you. Jego żona ledwo cię zauważa.

Wyjątkiem są pewne dialekty czy gwary środowiskowe, np. African American, East London
Cockney. Jedym z najbardziej znanych przykładów zastosowania podwójnej negacji są dwa
wersy z piosenki zespołu Pink Floyd „Another Brick in the Wall":

We don’t n eed no education. Nie trzeba nam szkoły.


We don’t n eed no thought control. Nie chcemy kontroli myśli.

■ W przypadku formułowania uniwersalnych prawidłowości, np. kiedy przedstawiamy


prawa natury.

Water freez es at 0°C. Woda zamarza w temperaturze 0°C.


Light travels 1 8 6 0 0 0 miles p e r second. Światło pokonuje 186000 mil na
sekundę.
Oil floats on water. Olej unosi się na powierzchni wody.

■ W odniesieniu do wydarzeń przyszłych związanych z pewnymi ustaleniami (takich jak:


rozkład jazdy, repertuar kina czy teatru ..., harmonogram).

The bus departs at 9 .1 5 . Autobus odjeżdża o 9.15.


The film starts at 6 o ’clock. Film zaczyna się o szóstej.
The m eeting starts at 8 Spotkanie zaczyna się o ósmej,
and finishes at 10. a kończy o dziesiątej.

Kiedy mówimy o zdarzeniach, które na pewno wydarzą się w przyszłości.

M y grandfath er turns 9 0 this week. Mój dziadek skończy 90 lat w tym


tygodniu.
Spring starts on 21 M arch. Wiosna zaczyna się 21 marca.

■ W odniesieniu do czynności wykonywanych w chwili mówienia. Dotyczy to głównie:

- relacji sportowych, np.

H e goes past one defender, goes past another, dashes forw ard, flicks on to
Deco, Deco shoots, and he hits home from close range! What a finish o f
a grea t move by Ronaldinho!!!
Mij a jednego obrońcę, mij a następnego, wybiega naprzód, podaj e do Deco, Deco
strzela i trafia z bliskiej odległości! Co za wykończenie świetnego podania
Ronaldinho!!!

- opisywania i przedstawiania eksperymentów w naukach ścisłych, pokazach


kulinarnych oraz rozmaitych instrukcjach postępowania, np.

... then I add m elted butter and m ix well.


... wtedy dodaję topione masło i dobrze mieszam.

First, I lift the cover and put the p a p er on the glass. Then I select the num ber

Zapamiętaj!

Czas Present Simple nie jest w ścisłym znaczeniu czasem teraźniejszym, jest w pewnym sensie
ponadczasowy i chociaż bywa niekiedy używany jako czas teraźniejszy opisujący to, co dzieje
się w danym momencie albo nawet w miejsce czasu przyszłego, to jego główne zastosowanie
polega na określeniu stanów, rutynowych czynności, nawyków, prawd uniwersalnych.

Zastosowanie

■ Czas Present Continuous stosujemy przede wszystkim, kiedy mówimy o czynnościach,


które trwają w chwili mówienia.

H e is repairing a washing m achine now. On teraz naprawia pralkę.


We a re packing o ur suitcases. Pakujemy nasze walizki.
I am stirring sugar into my coffee. Mieszam cukier w kawie.

■ Czasem Present Continuous posługujemy się opisując czynności, które odbywają się
w szeroko rozumianej chwili „teraz".

16
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

H e is working as a freela n ce photographer these days.


Teraz pracuje jako niezrzeszony fotograf.

I am p repa ring fo r my driving test now.


Obecnie przygotowuję się do egzaminu z prawa jazdy.

S h e is research in g new technologies.


Ona prowadzi badanie nad nowymi technologiami.

Jeżeli nie użyjemy odpowiedniego wyrażenia (np. at present, th ese days), bądź jeśli kontekst
nie jest wyraźny, powyższe zdania mogą oznaczać, że czynności te dzieją się w chwili obecnej.

W hat a re you doing now? Co robisz?


I am p repa ring fo r my driving test. Przygotowuję się do egzaminu
z prawa jazdy.
ale

Do you have a driving licence? Masz prawo jazdy?


No, but I am prepa rin g fo r my Nie, ale przygotowuję się do egzaminu
driving test. z prawa jazdy.

■ Czas Present Continuous można również stosować z przysłówkami always, constantly,


continually w sytuacjach, kiedy mówimy o czynnościach powtarzających się z mniejszą lub
większą częstotliwością, co do których wyrażamy naszą przyganę, negatywny stosunek,
zniecierpliwienie, względnie zazdrość, np.

Philip is continually complaining. Philip stale narzeka.


D aniel is always telling naughty jokes. Daniel zawsze opowiada nieprzyz
woite dowcipy.
Zoe is always getting what she wants. Zoe zawsze dostaje to, co chce.
M y boss is constantly criticising m e. Mój szef ciągle mnie krytykuje.

I Present Continuous używa się także:

■ Mając na myśli takie zamierzenia i plany na przyszłość, co do których podjęto już pewne
działania realizacyjne.

I am m eeting Sim on tomorrow. Jutro spotykam się z Simonem.


They a re getting m arried in August. Pobierają się w sierpniu.
W e a re flying to M ad rid next week. Lecimy do Madrytu w przyszłym
tygodniu.

■ Dla uniknięcia dwuznaczności należy w tego typu zdaniach użyć określenia czasu,
ponieważ jego brak może wypaczyć wypowiedź.

I am leaving on Monday. Wyjeżdżam w poniedziałek.


I am leaving. Wyjeżdżam (teraz).

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l 17
Present C ontinuous

Kiedy mówimy o czynnościach mających charakter tymczasowy.

K elly is working as a trainee teacher. Kelly pracuje jako praktykantka


w szkole.
I am living in Moscow now. Obecnie mieszkam w Moskwie.
A ndrew is working overtime this week. Andrew pracuje w tym tygodniu
w godzinach nadliczbowych.

Do wyrażenia trendów albo tendencji.

Television is becom ing m ore interactive. Telewizja staje się bardziej interaktywna.
The universe is expanding. Wszechświat rozszerza się.
The w orld’s population is ageing. Populacja starzeje się.

Uwaga!
Pewne grupy czasowników zwykle nie występują w czasie Present Continuous - podobnie jak
w innych czasach typu Continuous. Należą do nich:

■ Czasowniki postrzegania zmysłowego (np. hear, see, feel, smell, taste).

Your goulash tastes great.


Twój gulasz jest wyborny (dost. gulasz smakuje wybornie).
ale
What a re you doing? I am tasting the goulash.
Co robisz? Próbuję gulaszu (taste w czasie Continuous odnosi się do czynności, a nie do
stanu).

■ Czasowniki wyrażające odczucia (np. love, hate, like, want) i stany intelektualne (know,
think, understand, remember).

I am sorry, I don’t understand.


Przepraszam, nie rozumiem.
ale
I don’t think she is fully understanding my problems.
Nie sadzę, że ona do końca rozumie moje problemy (understand w czasie Continuous
sugeruje, że lepsze zrozumienie jest możliwe).

I think it is important.
Myślę, że to ważne.
ale
What a re you thinking about?
0 czym myślisz? (think w czasie Continuous sugeruje proces myślenia, a nie stan
trwatego przekonania).

1 hate this job.


Nie cierpię tej pracy.

18
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

ale
I am hating every moment o f this journey.
Nie mogę ścierpieć każdej chwili tej podróży (hate w czasie Continuous sugeruje,
że emocja jest raczej chwilowym odczuciem niż trwatą postawą).
H e likes his coffee black.
On lubi czarną kawę.
ale
I am liking it less and less.
Coraz mniej mi się to podoba (like w czasie Continuous oznacza odczucie bądź

Przyktady zastosowania czasów ciągtych z rozmaitymi czasownikami prowadzą do wniosku,


że w zasadzie nie da się wydzielić grupy czasowników, które nigdy nie tworzą czasów typu
Continuous.

Zapamiętaj!

Czas Present Continuous nie służy jedynie do opisywania czynności bądź sytuacji, które
trwają w chwili mówienia.
Present Continuous opisuje także czynności, które są obecnie w toku, choć nie muszą dziać
się w chwili wypowiadania zdania. Present Continuous opisuje także - za pomocą
przysłówków always, continually, constantly - czynności powtarzające się. Zdanie
wyrażone w taki sposób nie jest jednak neutralnym stwierdzeniem. Jest ono nacechowane
emocjonalnie, wyraża dezaprobatę, zazdrość, zniecierpliwienie.

Zastosowanie

C zas Past Simple je s t czasem przeszłym prostym.

■ Stosujemy go, kiedy mowa jest o czynnościach bądź stanach, które wydarzyty się
w przeszłości i nie sugerujemy ich powiązania z teraźniejszością. Zdania w czasie Past Simple
zawierają często dokładny określnik czasu (np. on Wednesday, last week, a year ago).

We m et h er on Monday.
Spotkaliśmy ją w poniedziałek.

I saw th is film th ee tim es in a row.

Przygotowałem sałatkę, podczas gdy ona sprzątała.

W hen she got hom e, I gave h er the message.


Kiedy przyszła do domu, przekazałem jej wiadomość.

■ Past Simple używamy również do opisu zdarzeń, do których doszło w ściśle określonym
czasie, chociaż czas ten nie jest bezpośrednio wspomniany. Np. w odniesieniu do czynności
bądź stanów, których lokalizacja w przeszłości nie jest sprecyzowana żadnym określeniem
czasowym, a która jest wskazana pośrednio okolicznikiem miejsca.

Luke uczył się angielskiego w Londynie.

I thought you would want to see them . Pomyślałem, że mógłbyś


chcieć się z nimi spotkać.

■ Po wyrażeniach takich jak: if only, I wish, it’s (high) time, I’d rather zamiast czasu
teraźniejszego lub przyszłego w aspekcie życzeniowym i/lub hipotetycznym, np,

It’s high tim e you grew up. Najwyższy czas, żebyś wydoroślał.

I wish I knew the rig ht words. Szkoda, że nie znam odpowiednich słów.

I f only she knew the truth . Gdyby ona tylko znała prawdę.

I’d ra th er he contacted me first. Wolałbym, żeby on się ze mną skontaktował

Gdybym miał więcej odwagi, umówiłbym się z nią.

He responded th at he planned to run for reelection .


Odpowiedział, że planuje ubiegać się o reelekcję.

Zapamiętaj!

w przeszłości. Mówiący unaocznia wydarzenia przeszłe i okoliczności ich zaistnienia,
nie sugerując ich powiązania z teraźniejszością.

Already, yet, just nigdy nie występują w czasie Past Simple.

Zastosowanie

Czas Present Perfect jest łącznikiem pomiędzy przeszłością a teraźniejszością.


Ma zastosowanie częściowo zbieżne z zasięgiem użycia czasu teraźniejszego jak również
przeszłego w polszczyźnie,

34
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

Czasu Present Perfect używamy w następujących przypadkach:

■ Aby zaznaczyć, że stan rozpoczęty w przeszłości trwa do chwili obecnej.


By podać długość tego okresu, posługujemy się przyimkami sin ce i for.

S h e has lived in a small town in M innesota since 1998.


Ona mieszka w małym mieście w Minesocie od 1998 roku.

We have known each other for ages.


Znamy się od lat.

Mimo że oba te przyimki tłumaczy się jako od, nie używa się ich wymiennie.
Sin ce zaznacza moment rozpoczęcia czynności.

since Sunday od niedzieli


since sum m er od lata
since Christmas od Bożego Narodzenia
since 8 o ’clock od godziny ósmej
since m orning od rana
since I moved out od czasu kiedy przeprowadziłem się

For określa długość czynności.

fo r an hour od godziny
fo r years od lat
fo r a long time od dawna

Jeśli po sin ce występuje nie samo określenie czasowe (np. 2000, last summer, 9 o’clock),
ale pełne zdanie, czasownik główny występuje na ogół w czasie Past Simple (np. I haven’t
been there since I left school).

It has rained twice since I arrived last week.


Padało dwukrotnie, odkąd przyjechałem w zeszłym tygodniu.

We haven’t spoken to each other since I went overseas.


Nie rozmawialiśmy ze sobą, od kiedy wyjechałem zagranicę.

Po sin ce możemy również użyć ponownie czasu Present Perfect. Oznaczać to będzie,
że czynność bądź stan wyrażony przez czasownik występujący po przyimku trwa do chwili
mówienia.

E v er since I have known her, she has always w anted to write.


Odkąd ją znam, ona zawsze chciała pisać.

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l 35
Present Perfect

■ Kiedy mówimy o czynności przeszłej, której konsekwencje są istotne w teraźniejszości,


kiedy relacjonujemy to, co było, mając na myśli to, co jest,

I ’ve sprained my ankle. Skręciłem nogę w kostce ( i nie mogę


tańczyć).
I have lost my mobile phone. Zgubiłem komórkę ( i teraz muszę dzwonić
z telefonu stacjonarnego).
M y ca r has broken down. Zepsuł mi się samochód
(i będę musiał pojechać autobusem).

Present Perfect używamy również do opisu:

Czynności, które dopiero co się zakończyły - w tym przypadku zazwyczaj używamy just.

I have just found a virus Właśnie wykryłem wirusa moim


on my computer. w komputerze.

The plane has just landed. Samolot właśnie wylądował.

I ha v e ju s t r e c e iv e d W łaśn ie otrzym ałem w yniki


my exam ination results. egzaminu.

Czynności, które nie zostały wykonane, a których realizacji oczekujemy.

I haven’t called him yet. Jeszcze do niego nie zadzwoniłem.

Liz hasn’t made Liz jeszcze się nie zdecydowała.


up h e r m ind yet.

Ryan hasn’t apologised Ryan jeszcze nie przeprosił za swoje


fo r his behaviour yet. zachowanie.

■ Czynności bądź stanów, które trwają lub powtarzają się w nieograniczonym przedziale
czasu łączącym przeszłość z teraźniejszością.

Chloe has always enjoyed Chloe zawsze lubiła malować


painting portraits. portrety (i nadal lubi).

Bob has never been in trouble Bob nigdy nie miał problemów
with the law. z prawem (i nadal nie ma).

They have always lived Oni zawsze mieszkali w dużym


in a big city. mieście (i nadal mieszkają).

36
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

■ Aby wyrazić nasilenie danej czynności bądź stanu stosujemy przysłówki częstotliwości
(np. always, often, never). Inne spotykane w czasie Present Perfect przysłówki to m.in.:
recently/lately ostatnio
ju st dopiero co, właśnie
already już
ev er kiedykolwiek
yet jeszcze

Have you ever baked bread? Czy kiedykolwiek piekłeś chleb?


I haven’t checked the m essages yet. Jeszcze nie sprawdziłem wiadomości.
Has Nick arrived yet? Czy Nick już przyjechał?

I W Present Perfect stosuje się również określenia czasowe.

all my life całe moje życie


(up) till now/until this very moment do chwili obecnej
so fa r jak dotąd/do tej pory

The baby hasn’t said a word so fa r. Jak dotąd dziecko nie powiedziało ani
słowa.

Toby has w orked hard all his life. Toby całe życie ciężko pracuje.

Tom has never m ade a single Tom nie popełnił dotąd żadnego
mistake up till now. błędu.

I haven’t m issed an episode o f Do tej pory nie przegapiłem żadnego


“F rien d s” so far. odcinka „Przyjaciół”.

I have been to New York many times. Byłem w Nowym Jorku wiele razy.

I Present Perfect może również wystąpić z określeniami czasu teraźniejszego, np. this
morning/afternoon/evening, today, this week.

Jack has called m e this m orning. Jack zadzwonił do mnie rano


(tak mówimy do12-tej w południe).

Jack called m e this m orning . Jack zadzwonił do mnie rano


(tak mówimy popołudniu lub
wieczorem).

Mimo że powyższe zdania przekładamy jednakowo na polski, to w języku angielskim mają


różne znaczenie. Gdy używamy „has called", to mowa jest o zdarzeniu podczas trwającego
jeszcze poranku. Natomiast gdy używamy„called", to mówimy o wydarzeniu minionego
poranka.

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l
Present Perfect

I Present Perfect stosuje się również, aby wyrazić czynności lub sytuacje, które zdarzyły
się w przeszłości, jeżeli zachowane jest powiązanie z teraźniejszością, np, dana czynność
może być powtórzona w teraźniejszości,

Otylia has won several gold medals so far.


Otylia zdobyła kilka złotych medali (już ma kilka, ale może mieć kilkanaście).
ale
Polish sw im m ers won five gold medals in Budapest this summer.
Polscy pływacy zdobyli tego lata pięć złotych medali w Budapeszcie. (tu co prawda mamy
do czynienia z okresem czasu, który jeszcze trwa, gdy to mówimy - this summer - ale
polscy pływacy już na tych mistrzostwach medalu nie zdobędą, bo te się skończyły).

Zapamiętaj!

Present Perfect nie występuje z takimi określeniami czasu jak: yesterday, last year, two
days ago, last Monday, when I w as a child, then,

Zastosowanie |

I Present Perfect Continuous stosujemy w następujących przypadkach:

■ Gdy informujemy, że czynność bądź sytuacja rozpoczęta się w przeszłości i trwa


(niekoniecznie bez przerwy), aż do chwili obecnej.

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l 43
Present Perfect C ontinuous

Podobnie jak w Present Perfect do określenia dtugości czasu posługujemy się przyimkami
sin ce i for.
I have been studying since 9 o ’clock. Uczę się od dziewiątej.
M rs Olive has been teaching fo r 1 0 years. Pani Olive naucza od dziesięciu lat.
Oscar has been surfing the net fo r an hour. Oscar serfuje w internecie od
godziny.

■ Gdy chcemy powiedzieć o jakichś - zakończonych bądź nie - wydarzeniach lub


czynnościach rozpoczętych w przeszłości, których skutki czy konsekwencje są oczywiste
w chwili obecnej.
It has been raining. Padało (ulica jest jeszcze mokra).
S h e has been crying. Płakała (ma wciąż zaczerwienione oczy).
H e has been repairing his car. Naprawiał (a może i dalej naprawia) samochód
(ma zabrudzone smarem ubranie).

■ Kiedy dana czynność lub sytuacja ma charakter przejściowy,


I have been living in Germany for a few months.
Mieszkam w Niemczech od paru miesięcy (ale na stałe mieszkam gdzie indziej).
I have been substituting for Paul since Monday.
Zastępuję Paula od poniedziałku.

I Niekiedy Present Perfect i Present Perfect Continuous można posługiwać się wymiennie.
We have lived in Warsaw fo r seven years.
lub
We have been living in Warsaw fo r seven years.
Mieszkamy w Warszawie od siedmiu lat.

Bez określenia czasowego (for seven years) zdanie w Presen Perfect nabiera odmiennego
znaczenia:
We have lived in Warsaw.
Mieszkaliśmy w Warszawie (i znamy to miasto).

Zapamiętaj!

Stosując Present Perfect Continuous w pytaniach sugerujemy, że można zobaczyć, poczuć,


usłyszeć coś, co jest wynikiem jakiejś czynności. Jeśli zadamy pytanie „Have you been
drinking?", dajemy do zrozumienia, że wyczuwamy woń alkoholu. Używając tego czasu
niewłaściwie, można obrazić osobę, do której jest kierowane zapytanie.

Zastosowanie

Czas Past Perfect jest czasem zaprzeszłym. Stosuje się go, aby zaznaczyć uprzedniość
danej czynności lub sytuacji przeszłej względem innej czynności lub sytuacji przeszłej.
W zdaniach w Past Perfect często występują określenia czasowe takie jak: after, before,
already, just, since, until/till, by, by the time.

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l 47
Past Perfect

I Czas Past Perfect stosujemy w następujących przypadkach:

■ By opisać czynności lub sytuacje, które zdarzyły się przed innymi czynnościami,
sytuacjami lub momentami w przeszłości,

I had visited many countries before I settled down in Italy.


Zwiedziłem wiele krajów, zanim osiadłem we Włoszech.

H e did n ’t rem em ber w here he had seen that girl.


Nie pamiętał, gdzie ujrzał tę dziewczynę.

B ecause we hadn’t booked early enough, we d id n ’t g et a table.


Ponieważ nie dokonaliśmy rezerwacji wystarczająco wcześnie, nie dostaliśmy stolika.

■ By opisać czynności lub sytuacje, które trwały już jakiś - najczęściej określony - przed
innymi czynnościami, sytuacjami w przeszłości i być może trwały także później,

W hen I m et him in 1 9 9 8 he had w orked as an accountant fo r a few years.


Kiedy go spotkałem w 1998, pracował jako księgowy od kilku lat (Past Perfect - stan
zatrudnienia).

dla porównania:
I had been chatting online for a n hour when Jay came.
Czatowałem w sieci przez godzinę, zanim przyszedł Jay (Past Perfect Continuous
- czynność).

■ Wyrażenia w Past Perfect można zastępować wyrażeniami w Past Simple bez jakiejkolwiek
różnicy znaczeniowej, kiedy spójniki jasno wskazują na kolejność zdarzeń,

A fte r I had clea ned out the attic, I went into my backyard = A fter I cleaned out
the attic, I went into my backyard.
Kiedy posprzątałem strych, wyszedłem na podwórko.

Jeśli zdarzenia opisywane w Past Perfect w ogóle nie wydarzyły się w danym okresie, Past
Perfect musi być bezwarunkowo zastosowany,

I had never seen a palm tree before I w ent to Florida. POPRAWNE


I never saw a palm tree before I went to Florida. NIEPOPRAWNE
Nigdy nie widziałem palmy, zanim nie pojechałem na Florydę.

■ Niekiedy zastosowanie Past Perfect zamiast Past Simple powoduje, że czynność


opisywana w Past Perfect jawi się jako zakończona jakiś czas przed inną, a nie jako
bezpośrednio poprzedzająca, Zdanie a sugeruje natychmiastową sekwencję wydarzeń,
natomiast zdanie b, że upłynęło między nimi trochę czasu,

a) W hen I d id the shopping, I went to a café.


b) W hen I had done the shopping, I w ent to a café.

48
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

I Past Perfect stosuje się również:

■ Kiedy chcemy powiedzieć o niezrealizowanym zamiarze, nadziei, życzeniu. Dotyczy to


takich czasowników jak: to intend, to hope, to expect, to think, to wish, to want,
to suppose, to plan.

Zastosowanie

Ze wszystkich czasów przysztych Future Simple jest podstawowy i najbardziej uniwersalny,


Z powodu wielości znaczeń nie zawsze jest oczywiste, które z nich mówiący ma na myśli,
Nierzadko wypowiedzi w tym czasie możemy interpretować na różne sposoby.

58
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

I Czasu Future Simple używamy w następujących przypadkach:

■ By powiedzieć, że coś nastąpi w przyszłości. Informacja wyrażona w taki sposób jest


pozbawiona elementów subiektywnych, wynika z okoliczności zewnętrznych, na które nie
mamy wpływu.

The concert will start any moment now. Koncert rozpocznie się lada moment.

We will know the election results tomorrow. Jutro poznamy wyniki wyborów.

K ate will arrive in a few minutes. Kate przyj edzie za parę minut.

■ By wyrazić opinie, przypuszczenia, spekulacje odnośnie przyszłości. Posiłkujemy się


wówczas takimi czasownikami jak: think, believe, feel sure, doubt, hope, be afraid,
expect, know, suppose, wonder, oraz towarzyszącymi im przysłówkami typu: perhaps,
possibly, probably, surely, certainly.

I am certain he will resign his post. Jestem pewien, że on odejdzie z posady.

I hope my parents will let m e buy a dog. Mam nadzieję, że moi rodzice
pozwolą mi kupić psa.

The president will probably veto the bill. Prezydent prawdopodobnie zawetuje
ustawę.

■ By opisać czynności lub sytuacje, które jakaś osoba dokonuje z przyzwyczajenia czy
innych przyczyn charakterologicznych, niezależnie od okoliczności i nie przejmując się
opinią innych.

S h e will keep asking stupid questions. Ona stale zadaj e głupie pytania.

Scott will w ear this silly bow tie. Scott będzie nosić tę śmieszną muszkę.

I Future Simple również stosujemy:

■ Kiedy podejmujemy spontaniczną decyzję.


This coat is a real bargain. I will buy it. Ten płaszcz to prawdziwa okazja.
Kupię go.

To samo zdanie użyte w innej osobie nie oznacza już spontanicznej decyzji, ale
przypuszczenie.
S h e will buy this coat. Ona kupi ten płaszcz (tak mi się
wydaj e).

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l
Future Simple

■ Kiedy coś postanawiamy. Często wspomagamy się wówczas czasownikami takimi jak:
promise, swear, guarantee.

I prom ise I will g et m ore organised. Obiecuję, że będę bardziej


zorganizowana.
I will go to the gym twice a week. Będę chodzić na siłownię dwa razy
w tygodniu.
I sw ear I will study h a rd er next sem ester. Przyrzekam, że będę więcej pracować
w przyszłym semestrze.

■ Kiedy prosimy.

Will you lend m e € 2 0 ? Pożyczysz mi 20 euro?


Will you do m e a favour? Zrobisz coś dla mnie?

Kiedy wypowiadamy gotowość.

I will g e t you some co ffee. Przyniosę ci kawy.


I will help you. Pomogę ci.
I will drive you home. Zawiozę cię do domu.

■ Kiedy obiecujemy lub grozimy.

I will do my best. Zrobię co w moj ej mocy.


I won’t bother you again. Nie będę cię więcej kłopotać.
Stop talking o r I will punish you! Przestań rozmawiać, bo cię ukarzę!

■ Kiedy wydajemy kategoryczne polecenie.

You will not reveal y o u r password to any other person.


Nie ujawnisz swoj ego hasła żadnej osobie.

You will not discuss the contract, or any o f its terms, with anyone.
Nie będziesz rozmawiał z nikim o umowie ani o żadnym z jej warunków.

Kiedy wyrażamy odmowę lub brak chęci (za pomocą won’t).

Ja ck won’t see the doctor. Jack nie pójdzie do lekarza.


M y children won’t eat vegetables. Moje dzieci nie zjedzą warzyw.

60
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

Future Simple można również tworzyć przy pomocy formy shall. Dzisiaj wyraz ten występuje
przede wszystkim w 1 osobie liczby pojedyncze i mnogiej. Dzięki niemu można nadać
wypowiedzi neutralny charakter. W 3 osobie shall pojawia się w podniostym stylu,
w prawnych albo formalnych zobowiązaniach czy gwarancjach.

A refu n d shall be granted within seven days o f delivery o f the products.


Zwrot kosztów jest gwarantowany w czasie siedmiu dni od dostawy produktów.

D elivery shall take place at the a g reed time.


Dostawa nastąpi w uzgodnionym czasie.

T h e board shall notify shareholders o f its decision in writing.


Zarząd powiadomi udziałowców pisemnie o swoj ej decyzji.

Shall w zdaniu pytającym (w 1 osobie) stosujemy, by dowiedzieć się o życzenia czy chęci
osoby, do której wypowiedź jest skierowana. Zdanie pytające z shall może być również
propozycją czy sugestią.

What shall I do now? Co mam teraz robić?


Shall I close the window? Czy mam zamknąć okno?
Shall we go to the m useum ? Pójdziemy do muzeum?

Zapamiętaj!

Jak wszystkie inne formy czasu przysztego, Future Simple nie może być użyty w zdaniach
zaczynających się od wyrazów when, while, after, before, by the time, if, unless,
provided. Reguta ta obowiązuje, wtedy gdy nie mamy zamiaru nadać wyrażeniu z will
znaczenia „zechcieć", np. „I’ll be grateful if you will kindly consider my request."

Jeśli masz zamiar dać do zrozumienia, że ktoś nie zrobi czegoś w przyszłości nie dlatego,
że nie chce, ale z powodu niezależnych oko Iiczności, unikaj czasu Future Simple
(np. „I won’t jo In you."). Aby nie sugerować odmowy lub niechęci, użyj czasu Future
Continuous (np. „I won’t be joining you.").

Zastosowanie

I Zwrot be going to używamy w następujących przypadkach:

■ By wyrazić intencję zrobienia czegoś w przyszłości. Zamierzona czynność jest z reguły


przemyślana i należy się domyślać, że jakieś przygotowania zostały już podjęte. Uważa się,
że czynności wyrażone konstrukcją be going to są możl iwe do zrealizowania.

64
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

I am going to study law. Zamierzam studiować prawo.


Sophie is going to take a day off. Sophie zamierza wziąć dzień wolny.
H e is going to throw a party. On zamierza urządzić przyj ęcie.

Czasowników to be i to com e nie powinno się raczej używać w konstrukcji be going to.

S h e is going to go out o f business. Ona zamierza wycofać się z biznesu.


I am not going to com e with you. Nie zamierzam iść z wami.

Mimo że zdania te są poprawne, lepiej użyć czasu Present Continuous i powiedzieć:

S h e is going out o f business.


I am not com ing with you.

■ By wyrazić przewidywania wynikające z naocznych obserwacji dotyczących wydarzeń,


zdaje się nieuchronnych.

S h e is going to have a baby. Ona będzie miała dziecko (jest w ciąży).


It is going to rain. Zanosi się na deszcz (na niebie zebrały się
chmury).
They a re going to win the match. Oni wygrają mecz (maj ą dużą przewagę nad
przeciwnikiem).

Zasadnicze różnice w użyciu be going to i will są następujące:

- Zwrot be going to sugeruje, że występują pewne obiektywne znaki, symptomy,


przesłanki, że coś się wydarzy, natomiast will sugeruje, że przewidywania są oparte
na opinii mówiącego.

- Zwrot be going to dotyczy zwykle najbliższej przyszłości, will nie odnosi się do
żadnego konkretnego czasu i może dotyczyć nawet da Iekiej przyszłości.

Zapamiętaj!

Unikaj stosowania wyrażenia be going to z czasownikami ruchu, zwłaszcza com e i go.


W takich przypadkach użyj czasu Present Continuous.

Jeśli chcesz posłużyć się jakimś zdarzeniem w przyszłości jako wymówką, unikaj wyrażenia
be going to (np. „I’m sorry, I can’t see you tomorrow. I am going to visit my uncle."). Stosując

Zastosowanie

I Czasu Future Continuous używamy w następujących przypadkach:

■ Gdy mamy zamiar powiedzieć, że czynność bądź sytuacja będzie odbywata się
w określonym momencie w przyszłości, albo kiedy coś innego wydarzy się i prawdopod
obnie będzie trwać da Iej.

w w w .W y d a w n ic tw o L in g o .p l 69

Będę czekać na ciebie w bibliotece.

Tomorrow at eight, we will be sitting on the plane to New York.


Jutro o godzinie ósmej będziemy siedzieć w samolocie do Nowego Jorku.

■ Gdy mamy zamiar powiedzieć, że czynność bądź sytuacja, która ma nastąpić


w przyszłości, będzie zgodna z usta Ioną koIeją rzeczy, kiedy uważamy ją za coś naturalnego.

I will be seein g them soon.


Będę się z nimi wkrótce widzieć.

You will be picking up children from school, won’t you?


Odbierzesz dzieci ze szkoły, prawda?

The football team will be staying at the Hilton.


Drużyna futbolowa będzie przebywać w Hiltonie.

■ By wyrazić przypuszczenie dotyczące teraźniejszości lub przyszłości.

They will be getting home ju st about now. Przypuszczam, że właśnie docierają do


domu.

H e will be having his breakfast now. Przypuszczam, że on teraz je


śniadanie.

■ Kiedy pytamy kogoś o zamierzenia, zwłaszcza jeśli chcemy prosić o przysługę. Stosując
tę konstrukcję unikamy podejrzeń, że chcemy wpłynąć na zamiary osoby, do której jest kie­
rowane zapytanie.

A: Will you be reading the new spaper? Czy będziesz czytać tę gazetę?
B: No, I ’ve rea d what I wanted. Nie, przeczytałem już to, co chciałem.
A: Could I borrow it, then? Mogę w takim razie ją wziąć?

W hen will you be com ing hom e? Kiedy wrócisz do domu?

Will you be driving to the airport? Będziesz jechać na lotnisko?

70
L in G D AN G I E L S K I C Z A S Y

Zapamiętaj!

Jak wszystkie inne formy czasu przyszłego, Future Continuous nie może być użyty
w zdaniach zaczynających się od wyrazów: when, while, after, before, by the time, if,
unless, provided.

Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się o czyjeś zamierzenia na przyszłość, unikaj czasu Future Simple.
Użycie tego czasu sugerowałoby, że skłaniamy kogoś do pewnej czynności. Użyj czasu
Future Continuous, by dać do zrozumienia, że chcesz obiektywnie zapytać o czyjeś plany.
