Раздел 8.2. The Simple Past Tense

 The Simple Past Tense — прошедшее неопределенное время употребляется в следую­щих случаях:

1)для выражения действия, происходившего когда-то в прошлом и не связанного с настоящим, момент совершения действия либо указывается в предло­жении, либо подразумевается:

They travelled in Spain in August.

Did you wait for John long yesterday?

We didn't play tennis last Friday.

We met in Paris.

Указателями этого времени часто являются слова when и where .

Обычно, если известно, где и когда происходило действие, — это указание на некое время в про­шлом. Вот почему в вопросах, которые начинаются с When ?, Where ? {где), а иногда и Why ?, употребляется это время:

When did you do it?               Where did you buy the tape?     Why did you leave so early?

 

2) для описания ряда последовательных действий в прошлом:

David had a horrible day yesterday. First he broke his favourite cup, then he missed his bus, as a result he came late to his office.

 

  3) для описания обычного, повторяющегося действия в прошлом:

When I lived in the country I swam every morning.

Очень часто в этом случае употребляются обороты used to + infinitive и would + infinitive :

There used to be a green field here — now there's a supermarket.

Didn't you use to live in Manchester?

He didn't use to like fish, but now he does.

He never used to like milk.

He would come to the seashore and watch the waves.

 

Оба оборота употребляются примерно в одинаковых контекстах, однако would + infinitive чаще в литературном стиле. Кроме того, если used to + infinitive подчерки­вает, что данное событие больше не имеет места, то, употребляя оборот would + infinitive , говорящий не столь категорично подчеркивает это:

We used to work in the same office and we would often have coffee together.

( Мы в одном офисе уже не работаем, однако это не означает, что мы не пьем

иногда кофе вместе.)

  4) для выражения действия, которое в прошлом занимало определенный пери­од времени. Этот временной отрезок обычно указан в предложении при помощи оборота с предлогами for или during :

She didn't speak for a minute or two.

The old lady sat on a bench for half an hour and then went away.

Did you stay there long (for a long time)?
