1 Read the example of the past perfect. Then look at the timeline and answer the question below. When I got home, somebody had tidied my room. A B C past now future When did somebody tidy my room? A B C
Ответ:
Смотри, у нас есть предложение: 'When I got home, somebody had tidied my room'. Это значит, что кто-то уже успел прибрать мою комнату к тому моменту, как я вернулся домой.
Смотрим на временную шкалу:
- Стрелка 'past' показывает прошлое.
- Стрелка 'now' — настоящее.
- Стрелка 'future' — будущее.
Событие 'I got home' (я вернулся домой) произошло в прошлом, но ближе к настоящему.
Событие 'somebody had tidied my room' (кто-то прибрал мою комнату) произошло раньше, чем я вернулся домой. Оно еще более в прошлом.
На шкале это выглядит так:
- Сначала кто-то прибрал комнату (точка А).
- Потом я вернулся домой (точка B).
- Будущее — точка С.
Получается, что уборка комнаты произошла раньше, чем я вернулся домой. На шкале это соответствует точке А.
Ответ: А
