Porozprávať príbeh s predhistóriou
Viem zostaviť rozprávanie, v ktorom časť udalostí vysvetľuje to, čo sa stalo potom.
Deklarovaný čas jadra. Dva bloky jadra nemajú žiadny údaj, takže skutočná lekcia je dlhšia ako tento súčet.
Gramatika
14 minV B1 #1 stál Past Perfect v jednej vete vedľa Past Simple. Skutočné rozprávanie je dlhšie a pracujú v ňom naraz tri minulé časy. Každý má svoju úlohu, a keď sa pomiešajú, poslucháč prestane chápať, čo nasledovalo po čom.
Tvar — všetko známe. Past Simple (A2 #1): I left, I didn't leave. Past Continuous (A2 #2): I was leaving, They were talking. Past Perfect (B1 #1): I had left.
Ktorý čas má akú úlohu:
| čas | úloha | na akú otázku odpovedá | príklad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Past Simple | reťaz udalostí | čo sa stalo potom? | I got up, had breakfast and left. |
| Past Continuous | pozadie, dej, ktorý práve prebiehal | čo sa dialo okolo? | It was raining, people were hurrying to work. |
| Past Perfect | predhistória | čo bolo predtým? | I had forgotten my umbrella. |
Rozprávanie si môžeš predstaviť ako film. Past Simple posúva dej: každá nová udalosť je ďalší záber. Past Continuous sú kulisy — to, čo už prebiehalo, keď sa záber začal. Past Perfect je krátky pohľad späť: čo sa stalo pred touto scénou a prečo je taká, aká je.
Ako nájsť bod rozprávania. Spýtaj sa: o ktorom okamihu práve rozprávam? Všetko, čo sa stalo v tomto okamihu a po ňom, je Past Simple. Všetko, čo v tom okamihu už prebiehalo, je Past Continuous. Všetko, čo sa skončilo pred ním, je Past Perfect. Bod sa posúva spolu s dejom, preto tá istá udalosť stojí na začiatku príbehu v Past Simple a o odsek ďalej sa na ňu spomína už v Past Perfect.
Spojky, ktoré držia poradie:
| spojka | význam | príklad |
|---|---|---|
| when | keď | When I got home, my sister had made dinner. |
| after | potom, ako | After I had finished the report, I went home. |
| before | predtým, ako | I checked the windows before I left. |
| as soon as | hneď ako, len čo | As soon as I saw the time, I jumped up. |
| by the time | do chvíle, keď | By the time we arrived, the shop had closed. |
Po after a before nie je Past Perfect povinný: spojka sama hovorí, čo bolo skôr. After I finished the report, I went home je rovnako správne ako s had finished. Pri as soon as sú obe slovesá zvyčajne v Past Simple: jedna udalosť ide hneď za druhou.
by the time takmer vždy vyžaduje Past Perfect v hlavnej vete. Znamená „do chvíle, keď…“, a hlavná udalosť sa do tej chvíle už skončila: By the time we arrived, everyone had left.
Porovnaj tri odpovede na otázku, čo robila sestra, keď som prišiel:
| When I got home, my sister made dinner. | Prišiel som — a ona začala variť. |
| When I got home, my sister was making dinner. | Práve varila. |
| When I got home, my sister had made dinner. | Večera už bola hotová. |
Začiatok je jeden, a príbehy tri. Rozdiel robí len čas slovesa.
Pravidlo miery. Past Perfect slúži na to, aby si urobil krok späť, nie aby si tam zostal. V dlhej predhistórii sa dáva do prvej-druhej vety a potom sa prechádza na Past Simple — poradie je už jasné:
I had met Anna years before, in Edinburgh. We worked in the same café and shared a flat. Then she moved to Canada, and we lost touch.
Poradie častí je voľné. Angličtina často začína následkom a potom vysvetľuje príčinu: I couldn't get in because I had lost my keys. Ak ide časť so spojkou ako prvá, píše sa za ňou čiarka: By the time we arrived, the shop had closed.
Takto sa nehovorí. ✗ After I had finished, I had gone home → ✓ After I had finished, I went home. Neskoršia udalosť je práve bod rozprávania a patrí jej Past Simple.
Otestuj sa. Čo znamená When I got home, my sister had made dinner: začala variť pri tebe, alebo už bola večera na stole? Treba Past Perfect vo vete After I ___ (finish), I went home? Aký čas zvyčajne stojí v hlavnej vete po by the time?

Chyby slovensky hovoriacich
napísané pre váš jazykby the time when
✗ By the time when we arrived, the shop had closed
✓ By the time we arrived, the shop had closed
Slovenské „do chvíle, keď…“ našepkáva navyše when, ale v by the time je „keď“ už obsiahnuté.
Jednoduchý minulý čas namiesto pozadia
When I came in, everybody sat at the table and talked — po anglicky to znamená: vošiel som a vtom si všetci sadli za stôl a dali sa do reči. Ak si chcel povedať „všetci sedeli a rozprávali sa“, treba ✓ everybody was sitting at the table and talking. V slovenčine tento rozdiel nesie vid slovesa („sedeli“ — „sadli si“), v angličtine čas.
Čiarka pred because
✗ I couldn't get in, because I had lost my keys
✓ I couldn't get in because I had lost my keys
Po slovensky stojí čiarka pred „pretože“ a „keď“ vždy. Po anglicky sa píše, keď časť so spojkou ide prvá (By the time we arrived, the shop had closed); keď ide druhá, čiarka zvyčajne nie je (ako pri if, A2 #27).
Past Perfect v každej vete predhistórie
I had met Anna in Edinburgh. We had worked together. We had shared a flat… Chyba tu nie je, ale rozprávanie je ťažkopádne a rodený hovoriaci tak nepíše. Novú formu láka dávať všade, kde ide o „predtým“. Stačí prvá veta s had, ďalej — Past Simple.
Výslovnosť
4 minDlhá veta sa delí na významové celky, medzi nimi je krátka pauza:
By the time I got to the office ‖ the meeting had already started. I had set my alarm for half past six ‖ but I hadn't heard it.
Pauza stojí na hranici častí, zvyčajne tam, kde je v písanom texte čiarka alebo spojka. Medzi podmetom a prísudkom sa nerobí.
Na konci prvej časti hlas mierne stúpne — to je znak „pokračovanie nasleduje“. Klesá až na konci celej vety. Ak hlas po By the time I got to the office klesne, poslucháč si pomyslí, že si skončil.
had je v predhistórii slabé — /həd/, po zámene len /d/: I'd set my alarm /aɪd ˈset maɪ əˈlɑːm/.
Text
5 minBy the time I got to the office on Monday, the meeting had already started. It was not a good beginning to my first week in a new job.
I had set my alarm for half past six, but I hadn't heard it. The night before, I had worked on my presentation until two in the morning and had fallen asleep on the sofa with my laptop on my knees. When I finally woke up, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. It was ten to nine.
As soon as I saw the time, I jumped up, put on yesterday's shirt and ran to the bus stop. It was raining hard, and of course I had left my umbrella at the office on Friday.
When I opened the door of the meeting room, everyone turned round. My new manager was standing by the board, and somebody had already written half of the plan on it. I said sorry and sat down.
After the meeting had finished, my manager asked me to stay. I expected the worst. But she just smiled and said, "Don't worry. On my first day here, I came to work in my slippers."

Písanie
Šesť až osem viet — príbeh o ráne alebo dni, ktorý sa nevydaril. Treba všetky tri časy: reťaz udalostí, pozadie a predhistóriu.
Vzor
By the time I got to the airport, they had closed the check-in desk. I had left home early, but there had been an accident on the motorway. While we were sitting in the traffic, I was checking the time every minute. When I finally ran into the terminal, the screen said "Gate closed". As soon as I saw it, I called my sister. She laughed and said, "Come and stay with us instead."
