| 9.5 Résumé |
| Résumé |
1) Chaque temps a un temps continu (progressive
/ continuous form). |
| 2) La forme continue peut être considérée comme une sous-forme du temps respectif. |
| 3) Les formes continues décrivent une action comme quelque chose qui est en train de se passer et correspond pour autant plus au moins à la construction être + en train de + infinitif. |
| 4) On forme les temps continus avec la forme to be correspondante et le participe I (infinitif + ing) |
| 5) Le simple past
continuous sert à décrire
une action dans laquelle est inserée
une autre action. I had been sleeping, when I suddenly heart someone knocking at the window. => Il ne dort plus. Le simple past continuous décrit une action du passé avec une certaine durée et qui a été interrompue par une autre action du passé. He was sleeping, when she entered the room. => Il était en train de dormir avant qu' elle soit rentrée et il a continué à dormir. Le present perfect continuous décrit une action qui a commencé dans le passé proche, qui est interrompue par une action du présent ou qui continue dans le présent. a) Today I have been working the whole day, I am tired now, I need a break. => Il ne travaille plus. b) He has been running the whole day through
the garden and if nothing happens, he will
do that until tomorrow. |
