Ispričati priču sa predistorijom
Mogu da sastavim priču u kojoj deo događaja objašnjava ono što se desilo posle.
Deklarisano vreme jezgra. Dva bloka jezgra nemaju broj, pa je stvarna lekcija duža od ovog zbira.
Gramatika
14 minU B1 #1 Past Perfect je stajao u jednoj rečenici pored Past Simplea. Prava priča je duža, i u njoj rade tri prošla vremena odjednom. Svako ima svoju ulogu, i ako se pomešaju, slušalac više ne razume šta je za čim usledilo.
Oblik — sve je poznato. 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.
Ko je za šta zadužen:
| vreme | uloga | na koje pitanje odgovara | primer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Past Simple | lanac događaja | šta se desilo dalje? | I got up, had breakfast and left. |
| Past Continuous | pozadina, radnja u toku u tom trenutku | šta se dešavalo okolo? | It was raining, people were hurrying to work. |
| Past Perfect | predistorija | šta je bilo pre toga? | I had forgotten my umbrella. |
Priču je zgodno zamisliti kao film. Past Simple pokreće radnju: svaki novi događaj je sledeći kadar. Past Continuous je scenografija, ono što je već trajalo kad je kadar počeo. Past Perfect je kratak pogled unazad: šta se desilo pre ove scene i zašto je ona takva.
Kako pronaći tačku priče. Pitaj se: o kom trenutku sada pričam? Sve što se desilo u tom trenutku i posle njega — Past Simple. Sve što je u tom trenutku već trajalo — Past Continuous. Sve što se završilo pre njega — Past Perfect. Tačka se pomera zajedno sa radnjom, zato isti događaj na početku priče stoji u Past Simpleu, a pasus kasnije ga se sećaju već u Past Perfectu.
Veznici koji drže redosled:
| veznik | značenje | primer |
|---|---|---|
| when | kad, kada | When I got home, my sister had made dinner. |
| after | pošto, nakon što | After I had finished the report, I went home. |
| before | pre nego što | I checked the windows before I left. |
| as soon as | čim | As soon as I saw the time, I jumped up. |
| by the time | do trenutka kad | By the time we arrived, the shop had closed. |
Posle after i before Past Perfect nije obavezan: sam veznik kaže šta je bilo ranije. After I finished the report, I went home — jednako je tačno kao sa had finished. Sa as soon as oba glagola obično stoje u Past Simpleu: jedan događaj ide odmah za drugim.
by the time skoro uvek traži Past Perfect u glavnoj rečenici. Znači „do trenutka kad…“, i glavni događaj se do tog trenutka već završio: By the time we arrived, everyone had left.
Uporedi tri odgovora na pitanje šta je sestra radila kad sam ja došao:
| When I got home, my sister made dinner. | Došao sam — i ona je počela da sprema večeru. |
| When I got home, my sister was making dinner. | Baš je spremala večeru. |
| When I got home, my sister had made dinner. | Večera je već bila gotova. |
Početak je isti, a priče su tri. Razliku pravi samo glagolsko vreme.
Pravilo mere. Past Perfect služi da se zakorači unazad, a ne da se tamo ostane. U dugoj predistoriji stavlja se u prvoj-drugoj rečenici, a dalje se prelazi na Past Simple — redosled je već jasan:
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.
Redosled delova je slobodan. Engleski često počinje posledicom, a zatim objašnjava uzrok: I couldn't get in because I had lost my keys. Ako deo sa veznikom ide prvi, posle njega stoji zarez: By the time we arrived, the shop had closed.
Tako se ne kaže. ✗ After I had finished, I had gone home → ✓ After I had finished, I went home. Kasniji događaj je upravo tačka priče, on ide u Past Simple.
Proveri se. Šta znači When I got home, my sister had made dinner: da li je počela da sprema večeru pred tobom ili je večera već bila na stolu? Da li je Past Perfect potreban u After I ___ (finish), I went home? Koje vreme obično stoji u glavnoj rečenici posle by the time?

Greške govornika srpskog jezika
prilagođeno vašem jezikuby the time when
✗ By the time when we arrived, the shop had closed
✓ By the time we arrived, the shop had closed
Srpsko „do trenutka kad…“ navodi na suvišno when, ali u by the time to „kad“ već postoji.
„Dok“ kao while
„Dok smo stigli, prodavnica se zatvorila“ — u ovoj rečenici „dok“ znači „do trenutka kad“, a ne „za vreme dok“. Zato ✗ While we arrived, the shop had closed nije ono što si hteo da kažeš: ✓ By the time we arrived, the shop had closed. while je samo za dve radnje koje traju istovremeno (A2 #2).
Prosto prošlo vreme umesto pozadine
When I came in, everybody sat at the table and talked na engleskom znači: ušao sam, i tada su svi seli za sto i počeli da razgovaraju. Ako si hteo da kažeš „svi su sedeli i razgovarali“, treba ✓ everybody was sitting at the table and talking. U srpskom tu razliku nosi glagolski vid („sedeli“ — „seli“), a u engleskom — vreme.
have u priči o prošlosti
✗ I couldn't get in because I have lost my keys
✓ I couldn't get in because I had lost my keys
„Izgubio sam ključeve“ je srpski perfekat, koji se gradi kao have lost, pa ruka sama napiše have. Ali priča je u prošlosti, i korak unazad od nje traži had.
Izgovor
4 minDuga rečenica se deli na smisaone celine, a između njih je kratka 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 stoji na granici delova, obično tamo gde je u pisanju zarez ili veznik. Između subjekta i predikata se ne pravi.
Na kraju prvog dela glas se malo podiže — to je znak „sledi nastavak“. Spušta se tek na kraju cele rečenice. Ako spustiš glas posle By the time I got to the office, slušalac će pomisliti da si završio.
had u predistoriji je slab — /həd/, posle zamenice samo /d/: I'd set my alarm /aɪd ˈset maɪ əˈlɑːm/.
Tekst
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."

Primer
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."
