1.1 Past tense contrast
(Tương phản thì quá khứ)
We use past tenses to talk about past events. We use the past continuous to describe a scene in the past. The events were in progress at the same time.
The sun was shining. A man was standing at the bus stop waiting for a bus.
We use the past simple for actions or events that happened one after the other.
Tom got up, had a shower and got dressed.
We use the past continuous to describe a longer background event, and the past simple to describe an action or event that interrupted it.
The phone rang while we were having dinner.
We use the past perfect to talk about an event that happened before another event in the past.
I didn't have any money because I'd lost my wallet.
Notice that with regular verbs the past simple and the past participle form of the past perfect are the same.
She arrived yesterday night.
She had arrived before we served the dinner.
However, with irregular verbs the past simple and the past participle form of the past perfect are often different.
I ate an apple.
I'd already eaten.
Tạm dịch
Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ để nói về các sự kiện trong quá khứ. Chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn để diễn tả một cảnh trong quá khứ. Các sự kiện đã được tiến hành cùng một lúc.
Mặt trời đang tỏa nắng. Một người đàn ông đang đứng ở trạm xe buýt chờ xe buýt.
Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn cho các hành động hoặc sự kiện xảy ra lần lượt.
Tom thức dậy, đi tắm và mặc quần áo.
Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn để mô tả một sự kiện nền dài hơn và thì quá khứ đơn để mô tả một hành động hoặc sự kiện đã làm gián đoạn nó.
Điện thoại reo khi chúng tôi đang ăn tối.
Chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ hoàn thành để nói về một sự kiện xảy ra trước một sự kiện khác trong quá khứ.
Tôi không có tiền vì tôi bị mất ví.
Lưu ý rằng với các động từ thông thường thì quá khứ đơn và dạng quá khứ phân từ của quá khứ hoàn thành giống nhau.
Cô ấy đến vào tối hôm qua.
Cô ấy đã đến trước khi chúng tôi phục vụ bữa tối.
Tuy nhiên, với các động từ bất quy tắc thì quá khứ đơn và dạng quá khứ phân từ của quá khứ hoàn thành thường khác nhau.
Tôi đã ăn một quả táo.
Tôi đã ăn rồi.
