Udvidet tid = ING-form
What are you doing right now? What were you doing yesterday at 7 o’clock?
NUTID (præsens) DATID (præteritum)
I am eating I was eating
you are eating you were eating
he / she / it is eating he / she / it was eating
we are eating we were eating
you are eating you were eating
they are eating they were eating
Ing-formen bruges kun om det, man er eller var i gang med på et bestemt tidspunkt!
På dansk bruger man ofte vendinger med sidder og..., står og..., er ved at...
Dansk Engelsk
Jeg sidder og læser avisen. I am reading the paper.
Hun står og venter på bussen. She is waiting for the bus.
Han var ved at vaske op, da hun ringede. He was doing the dishes when she called.
Husk: ING-formen bruges også efter forholdsord, men uden en form af 'to be':
He left without paying the bill. They often talk about leaving the country.
Omskrivning med 'DO'
Nutid: I do - you do - he / she / it does - we do - you do - they do
Datid: Det hedder did i alle former i datid
I spørgsmål og NOT-sætninger skal man omskrive med do / does / did, men kun i nutid og datid.
'Do' bøjes i person og tid. Det efterfølgende hovedverbum står i navneform og skal altså ikke bøjes!
Spørgesætninger: Nutid: Do you know this man? (Kender du den mand?)
Does Martin live in London? (Bor Martin i London?)
Datid: Did you see him yesterday? (Så du ham i går?)
NOT-sætninger: Nutid: I do not know this man = I don't know... (Jeg kender ikke den mand)
He does not live here = He doesn't live... (Han bor ikke her)
Datid: I did not see him yesterday = I didn't see... (Jeg så ham ikke i går)
I følgende tilfælde bruges ikke DO-omskrivning:
Hvis grundleddet er et spørgeord: Who lives in this house?
x O
Ved verbet to be: I am not ready. Are you hungry? He is not at home. Was she in London?
Ved mådesudsagnsord: Can you help me? You must not do that! You ought not to do that.
