Unit 14: Present Perfect and Past 2 (I have done and I did)


A. Коли використовувати Past Simple замість Present Perfect

Ми не використовуємо Present Perfect (I have done), коли говоримо про завершений час у минулому, наприклад:

  • yesterday
  • last year
  • ten minutes ago

1. Використання Past Simple для завершеного часу

Приклади:

  • It was very cold yesterday.
    (Вчора було дуже холодно.)
    Не кажемо: It has been very cold yesterday.
  • Paul and Lucy arrived ten minutes ago.
    (Пол і Люсі приїхали десять хвилин тому.)
    Не кажемо: Paul and Lucy have arrived ten minutes ago.
  • Did you eat a lot of sweets when you were a child?
    (Ти їв(-ла) багато солодощів, коли був(-ла) дитиною?)

2. Використання Past Simple із запитаннями про час

Приклади:

  • When did your friends arrive?
    (Коли приїхали твої друзі?)
    Не кажемо: When have your friends arrived?
  • What time did you finish work?
    (О котрій годині ти закінчив(-ла) роботу?)

B. Порівняння Present Perfect і Past Simple

Present Perfect Past Simple
Використовується для періоду часу, який триває до теперішнього моменту. Використовується для завершеного часу в минулому.
Tom has lost his key. (Він досі не має ключа.) Tom lost his key yesterday. (Він загубив ключ учора.)
It hasn’t rained this week. (Цього тижня ще не було дощу.) It didn’t rain last week. (Минулого тижня дощу не було.)
I’ve done a lot of work today. (Сьогодні я зробив(-ла) багато роботи.) I did a lot of work yesterday. (Учора я зробив(-ла) багато роботи.)

C. Використання Present Perfect для періоду, що триває до теперішнього

Present Perfect часто використовується для опису дій у періодах, які ще не завершилися, наприклад:

  • today
  • this week
  • since 2010

Приклади:

  • Have you seen Anna this morning? (Зараз ще ранок.)
    (Ти бачив(-ла) Анну сьогодні вранці?)
  • I’ve been working here since 2010.
    (Я працюю тут з 2010 року.)
  • We’ve been waiting for an hour.
    (Ми чекаємо вже годину.)
  • I’ve never ridden a horse. (Усе своє життя.)
    (Я ніколи не катав(-ла)ся на коні.)

D. Використання Past Simple для завершених періодів у минулому

Past Simple використовується для подій, які сталися в завершений період часу, наприклад:

  • yesterday
  • last week
  • from 2010 to 2014

Приклади:

  • Did you see Anna this morning? (Зараз уже день або вечір.)
    (Ти бачив(-ла) Анну сьогодні вранці?)
  • I worked here from 2010 to 2014.
    (Я працював(-ла) тут з 2010 по 2014 рік.)
  • We waited for an hour.
    (Ми чекали годину.)

1. Порівняння для минулих подій

Present Perfect (період триває) Past Simple (період завершено)
Jack has lived in Los Angeles for seven years. (Джек живе в Лос-Анджелесі сім років.) Jack lived in New York for ten years. Now he lives in Los Angeles. (Джек жив у Нью-Йорку десять років. Тепер він живе в Лос-Анджелесі.)

2. Після завершення відпустки

Present Perfect (відпустка ще триває) Past Simple (відпустка завершена)
It’s been a really good holiday. I’ve really enjoyed it. (Це була чудова відпустка. Я справді насолодився(-лася).) It was a really good holiday. I really enjoyed it. (Це була чудова відпустка. Я справді насолодився(-лася).)
