UNIT 10 THEY HAD LEFT BEFORE I WOKE UP Giriş: Past Perfect Tense geçmişte olmuş iki olayı, yapılan iki işi anlatırken, daha önce olanı gösterebilmek için kullanılır. Bir anlamda, geçmişin geçmişi olarak tanımlanabilir. Geçmişte ardı ardına gerçekleşen olayları anlatmak için Simple Past Tense kullanılabilir, fakat birinin daha önce olduğunu vurgulamak isteniyorsa Past Perfect Tense kullanılır. Past Perfect Tense (+): (-): (?): I, he, she, we, you, they had done homework by 12:00 p.m. yesterday. I, he, she, we, you, they had not done homework by 12:00 p.m. yesterday. Had I, he, she, we, you, they done homework by 12:00 p.m. yesterday? How had I, he, she, we, you, they done homework by 12:00 p.m. yesterday? Kısaltmalar: I d, you d, he/she/it d, we d, they d; hadn t Past Perfect Tense in zaman adı olarak Türkçe de karşılığı bulunmamaktadır. Bu tense, geçmişte yapılmış olan iki işten veya geçmişte olan iki olaydan söz edilirken, önce olan iş veya oluş Past Perfect Tense ile, sonra olan iş veya oluş ise Past Simple Tense ile ifade edilir. Past Perfect Tense li cümleler oluşturabilmek için had yardımcı fiilleri ile birlikte fiillerin 3. hali veya past participle dediğimiz hallerini kullanırız. Düzenli ve düzensiz fiillerin Past Perfect Tense e göre çekimlenmesi Present Perfect Tense te olduğu gibidir. I couldn t buy a ticket for the concert because I had lost my wallet. (Konser için bilet alamadım çünkü cüzdanımı kaybetmiştim.) I had visited our relatives before I left my hometown. (Memleketimden ayrılmadan önce akrabalarımı ziyaret etmiştim.) Past Perfect Tense i, geçmişte belli bir zamandan veya olaydan önce gerçekleşmiş herhangi bir eylem, oluş ve olgudan söz ederken kullanırız. Bu dilbilgisi yapısı yalnız başına kullanılamaz. Genellikle Past Perfect Tense yapısı, Past Simple Tense ile birlikte bağlaçlar yardımıyla kullanılır. Günlük hayatta, konuşma dilinde bu yapıya pek rastlamayız. Ancak yazı dilinde bazı durumlarda bu yapı karşımıza çıkabilir. When I got up, my brother Serkan had gone out. (Yataktan kalktığımda, erkek kardeşim Serkan dışarı çıkmıştı.) I was quite happy because I had visited the art gallery. (Çok mutluydum çünkü sanat galerisini ziyaret etmiştim.) I bought a new house after I had sold my car. (Arabamı sattıktan sonra yeni bir ev aldım.) Past Perfect Tense li bir cümleyi when bağlacından sonra kullandığımız zaman, herhangi bir şeyin tam anlamıyla tamamlandığını ifade etmiş oluruz. When I had repaired my car, I took my sister to the airport. When the plane had taken off, the pilot called for S.O.S. 64
