PRŮBĚHOVÝ MINULÝ ČAS SE POUŽÍVÁ:
|
a) Když současně probíhaly při sobě dva paralelní děje, které trvaly stejně dlouho a oba byly vnímány jako proces: |
|
|
|
- I was reading and they were watching TV. |
|
- She was cooking while he was sleeping. |
|
- They were looking at John when he was playing tennis. |
|
|
|
b) Když minulý ukončený děj trval určitou dobu: |
|
|
|
- I was reading for some time. |
|
- He was cleaning his shoes for a half of an hour. |
|
- They were sitting here for two hours. |
|
- Were you writing that letter for an hour? |
|
- I wasn’t working for five hours on Monday. |
|
|
|
c) Když popisovaný děj probíhal v minulosti v přesně určeném okamihu: |
|
|
|
- I was reading at three yesterday. |
|
- They were still sitting here at the midnight. |
|
- My brothers were playing football at five yesterday. |
|
|
|
d) Když děj vyjádřený průběhovým minulým časem tvoří rámec pro jiný krátkodobý děj vyjádřený prostým minulým časem: |
|
|
|
- I was reading a book when he came. |
|
- He came when I was reading a book. |
|
- We were working in the garden when it started to rain. |
