Рiзниця мiж The Present Continuous i The Present Simple

1. Present Continuous застосовується для опису ситуацій і дій, які мовець вважає тимчасовими. Present Simple описує ситуації, які мовець сприймає як постійні.

Linda is working at the ice cream shop during summer. – Влітку Лінда працює в магазині морозива. (коли літо закінчиться, Лінда більше не буде працювати в цьому місці)

Sam works as a manager at the ice cream shop. – Сем працює менеджером в магазині морозива. (це його постійна робота)

2. Якщо ми описуємо повторювані дії, які пов'язані з цим моментом, використовуємо Present Continuous. А якщо з цим моментом вони не пов'язані, вживаємо Present Simple.

I'm speaking with my mom a lot these days. – Останнім часом я часто говорю з мамою по телефону. (є зв'язок з поточним моментом)

I speak with my aunt who lives in New York twice a year. – Двічі на рік я розмовляю зі своєю тіткою, яка живе в Нью-Йорку. (немає зв'язку з теперішнім моментом)

3. Present Continuous описує дію, що відбувається зараз. Present Simple використовується для опису фактів, які залишаються вірними в будь-який момент часу.

Kathy is speaking with her father at the moment. – Зараз Кеті говорить зі своїм батьком. (вона говорить у даний момент часу, розмова буде закінчена)

Kathy speaks English. – Кеті говорить по-англійськи. (вона вміє говорити по-англійськи, це твердження залишається фактом в будь-який момент часу)

Рiзниця мiж The Past Simple i The Present Perfect

1. Говоримо чи не говоримо, коли щось сталося.

У Present Perfect має значення факт вчинення дії і не має значення, коли саме вона відбулася. У Past Simple зазвичай вказується, коли саме відбулася дія.

Слова-маркери у Past Simple: yesterday (вчора), in 2015 (в 2015), ago (тому назад), when I was younger (коли я був молодший) та інші.

I have ridden a horse! – Я їздив верхи! (неважливо, коли це було)

I rode a horse yesterday morning! – Вчора вранці я їздив верхи! (конкретний момент у минулому)

2. Закінчений період часу або поточний.

Якщо ми говоримо про період часу, який все ще триває, вживаємо Present Perfect. Часто на поточний період вказують такі слова-маркери, як today (сьогодні), this week (на цьому тижні), this month (в цьому місяці) i this year (цього року).

Якщо період закінчений, використовуємо Past Simple. На нього вказують наступні слова-маркери: last week (минулого тижня), last month (минулого місяця), last year (минулого року).

I haven’t seen you in the office this week. – Я не бачив тебе в офісі цього тижня. (тиждень не закінчився)

I didn’t see Sofie at work last week. – Я не бачив Софі на роботі минулого тижня. (минулий тиждень закінчився)

3. Зв'язок з теперішнім часом і факт з минулого.

У Present Perfect завжди є якась прив'язка до сьогодення, тоді як за допомогою Past Simple можна просто викласти факти про минуле.

We’re so happy! We have learnt English! – Ми такі щасливі! Ми вивчили англійську! (ми щасливі зараз – прив'язка до сьогодення)

Ivan learned English at school. – Іван вчив англійську в школі. (факт з минулого)

Рiзниця мiж The Future Perfect Continuous i The Future Perfect Simple

Future Perfect Continuous i Future Perfect Simple схожі, а іноді можуть бути взаємозамінними. Наприклад, у випадку з дієсловами, які не використовуються з часами Continuous: know, understand та іншими. Однак є між ними одна важлива відмінність – для Future Perfect Continuous важливо підкреслити тривалість дії, а Future Perfect Simple робить акцент на завершеності дії і її результаті.

By the end of the day I will have been reading for eight hours. – К кінцю дня я буду читати протягом восьми годин. – Future Perfect Continuous

By the end of the day I will have read 500 pages of the book. – К кінцю дня я прочитаю 500 сторінок книги. – Future Perfect Simple

I will have been working on this project for six months by the end of this year. – К кінцю року я буду працювати над цим проектом вже протягом шести місяців. – Future Perfect Continuous

I will have finished working on this project by the end of this year. – К кінцю року я закінчу працювати над цим проектом. – Future Perfect Simple

Запам'ятайте:

У додаткових реченнях часу і умови після сполучникiв if, when, as soon as, before, till/until, after замість майбутнього часу вживається теперішній час.
