Timelines: Lekce 19 Past perfect continuous Anchor: And we can now go to Birmingham where five men were arrested this after an attempted robbery at a bank in the centre of the city. Interviewer: Thank you, Patience. And with me is the Chief Inspector responsible for this afternoon's police operation. So, with five arrests, a successful conclusion? Policeman: Yes, we're very pleased. These were professional criminals intent on a very serious robbery. It's always good to stop a crime before it happens. Interviewer: And you had known about the plans for this robbery for some time. Policeman: Oh yes, as I say, these are professional criminals and they'd been planning the robbery for several months. But we knew about it, so we'd been them. Interviewer: And it was quite a spectacular police operation, wasn't it? Policeman: Yes. We achieved an element of surprise. They certainly hadn't been us to arrive by helicopter! Interviewer: Well, thank you, Chief Inspector. This is Martha O'Leary outside the Fiveways Bank in central Birmingham. Redaktorka hovoří s vrchním inspektorem o pokusu o vyloupení banky v Birminghamu. Policii se podařilo zatknout pět zlodějů, protože věděla o tom, co se chystá. Vrchní inspektor řekl: They'd been planning the robbery for several months. But we knew about it, so we'd been watching them. Užil při tom předminulý čas průběhový, který se skládá z předminulého času od slovesa to be: had been a slovesa končícího na -ing: They had been planning. We had been watching. Předminulý čas průběhový vyjadřuje děj, který se odehrál před jiným dějem minulým - v tomto případě před vyloupením banky - ale narozdíl od předminulého času prostého ukazuje, že tento děj po učitou dobu trval, což je také v kontextu naznačeno nebo přímo uvedeno. Policejní šéf použil předminulý čas průběhový v záporu: They certainly hadn't been expecting us to arrive by helicopter! Rozhodně nečekali, že přiletíme vrtulníkem! |
