Практическая работа по теме «Сравнение времен Past Simple и Past Continuous»

ЦЕЛЬ ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЙ РАБОТЫ: Научить студентов различать времена по группе сказуемого и ключевым словам, подбирать правильные ключевые слова для каждой видовременной группы или подбирать форму глагола по ключевым словам в предложении.

Разберем на практике примеры, которые позволят вам, уважаемые студенты, научиться безошибочно определять группу сказуемого или ключевые слова для видовременных групп Past Simple и Past Continuous.

ЗАДАНИЕ 1: Раскройте скобки, употребив правильную форму глагола.

ПРИМЕР 1: While I (listened / was listening) to the radio , the telephone (rang / was ringing ).

В данном примере, прежде всего, нужно распределить происходящие действия по времени. Давайте рассуждать. Я слушал радио, когда прозвенел телефон. Действие я слушал радио – длительное, оно началось, но еще не закончилось. И в тот момент, когда это действие уже происходило, прозвенел телефон (однократное действие в прошлом). Здесь логично следующее согласование времен: я слушал радио – Past Continuous, прозвенел телефон – Past Simple.

Следующие примеры ЗАДАНИЯ 1 сделайте самостоятельно. Рассуждайте в каждом примере. Подумайте, если ваши рассуждения не сойдутся с ответами.
