UNIT 7 WHAT WERE YOU DOING? Giriş: Geçmişte bir zaman diliminde devam etmekte olan olayları ifade etmek için Past Continuous Tense kullanılır. Yardımcı fiilleri was ve were olmak üzere iki tanedir. Esas fiillerin sonuna her zaman -ing eklenir. Past Continuous Tense bazen Simple Past Tense ile karıştırılabilir. Fakat Past Continuous Tense daha uzun bir sürede gerçekleşen ve devam etmekte olan olayları, Simple Past Tense ise nispeten daha kısa sürede olup bitmiş olayları ifade etmek için kullanılır. Past Continuous Tense (Şimdiki Zamanın Hikayesi) Türkçe de Şimdiki Zaman ın Hikayesi olarak bilinen Past Continuous Tense i, geçmişte belirli bir zamanda devam etmiş, sona ermiş ve günümüze etkisi ulaşmayan iş, oluş ve eylemlerden bahsetmek için kullanırız. Past Simple Tense ten yapısal olarak da farklı olan, bu dilbilgisi yapısında, cümlede öznenin hemen ardından yardımcı fiil olarak was-were yapıları ile birlikte sonuna -ing eki eklenmiş bir fiil kullanırız. Ancak bu zamanda yapısında en çok dikkat etmemiz gereken nokta, non-progressive verbs olarak tanımladığımız, sonuna -ing ekini almayan ( believe, like, hate, trust gibi) fiilleri bu dilbilgisi yapısında kullanamıyor olmamızdır. (+): (-): He/she/it/I was working in the garden at 09.00 yesterday. (O/ben dün saat 09:00 da bahçede çalışıyordu/-m. You/we/they were working in the garden at this hour yesterday. (Sen/ben/onlar dün bu saatlerde bahçede çalışıyordun/-m/-lardı.) I/he/she/it was not working in the garden at 09.00 yesterday. You/we/they were not working in the garden at this hour yesterday. (?): (?): Wh- Was I/he/she/it working in the garden at 09.00 yesterday? Were you/we/they working in the garden at this hour yesterday? Why was I/he/she/it working in the garden at 09.00 yesterday? Why were you/we/they working in the garden at this hour yesterday? Olumsuz Cümlelerdeki Kısaltma: wasn t weren t Simple Past Tense i (kısa veya uzun zaman dilimi içinde) tamamlanmış, bitmiş eylemler hakkında konuşmak için kullanırız. Past Continuous Tense i ise geçmiş bir zaman diliminde henüz tamamlanmamış, bitmemiş ve bu geçmiş zaman diliminde hala devam etmekte olan eylemler hakkında konuşmak için kullanırız. Mustafa got up at 7:00 and had breakfast. Then he went to the school. (Mustafa 7 de kalktı ve kahvaltı yaptı. Sonra o okula gitti.) When Mustafa came from work, I was preparing dinner. (Mustafa işten geldiği zaman, ben akşam yemeğini hazırlıyordum.) Genellikle Past Continuous Tense ve Simple Past Tense i aynı cümle içerisinde while ve when bağlacı ile kullanırız. Böyle bir kullanımda, Past Continuous Tense nispeten daha uzun süren eylemi veya durumu ifade etmek için kullanılırken, Simple Past Tense ise tamamlanmış, bitmiş ve daha kısa süren eylemi ifade etmek için kullanılır. While I was driving, my brother called me. (Araba sürerken, kardeşim beni aradı.) While Nisa was baking a cake, her husband came home. (Nisa kek yaparken, eşi eve geldi.) 47
Simple Past Tense te when bağlacı farklı şekillerde kullanılabilir. When I woke up, the sun was rising. (I woke up during the sunrise.) (Uyandığımda, güneş doğuyordu.) When the bus arrived, I felt really excited. (First the bus arrived, and then I felt exicted.) (Otobüs geldiğinde, kendimi çok heyecanlı hissettim.) Demonstrative Adjectives / Adverbs (İşaret Sıfatları / Zamirleri) This işaret sıfatını yakınımızda bulunan tekil bir varlığa, these işaret sıfatını ise yakınımızda bulunan çoğul varlıklara (insan, hayvan, cansız varlık, v.b.) işaret etmek için kullanırken; that işaret sıfatını uzağımızda bulunan tekil bir varlığı, those işaret sıfatını ise uzağımızda bulunan çoğul varlıkları işaret etmek için kullanırız. Tekil Çoğul Yakın this these This girl is my sister-in-law and that boy is my brother-in-law. (Bu kız benim baldızım ve şu çocuk benim kayınbiraderim.) Uzak that those Zaman açısından düşünüldüğünde this ve these işaret sıfatları şu an meydana gelen veya başlayan herhangi bir olayı anlatmak için kullanılırken that ve those işaret sıfatları ise geçmişte meydana gelmiş veya başlamış herhangi bir olayı anlatmak için kullanılır. This music is telling a strange love story. Watch these interesting movies. That movie was about the World War II. How were those questions in the exam? This, that, these ve those işaret sıfatlarını isim olmaksızın, yani işaret sıfatı olarak değil, aynı zamanda işaret zamiri olarak da kullanabiliriz. Do you like this? What is that?

VINCENT VAN GOGH Vincent Van Gogh is a very famous artist today, but he was not very famous before he died and he had lots of difficulties during his life. Vincent was born in 1853 in Holland. In the early years of his life he tried many jobs but he failed at these jobs. Vincent was usually unhappy and furious because he had some mental problems. So he didn t succeed in any jobs. Vincent was only good at drawing and painting. He was very fond of drawing and he always drew on papers, boxes, books, etc. when he started to study art in 1881 in Brussels, he was drawing pessimistic pictures. Later, he went to France and began painting with bright colours. Van Gogh s only real friend was his brother; Theo. Theo always encouraged Vincent and helped him. But the other people around him were not very helpful to him. In the last years of his life, French artist Paul Gaugin was living with Vincent. One day while they were arguing, Van Gogh became very angry and began to chase Gaugin with a razor. After this event, Van Gogh felt very bad and he went home and cut a piece of his ear. Van Gogh knew his mental problems and he went to a mental hospital for a treatment. Starry Night is a very famous work of Van Gogh.
