Trei adverbe care adesea cauzeaza dificultate : still, yet , already .
Cele trei adverbe sunt folosite in jurul timpului present.
STILL
inca
- Este folosit pentru a spune o actiune / situatie continua in prezent,deoarece nu s-a terminat.
- De multe ori se refera la ceva ce se intampla mai mult timp decat se astepta.
- Pozitia adverbului " still " :
- inainte de verb sau adjectiv ;
Are you still angry with your partner?
Do you still live with your parents?
- daca verbul are doua parti, atunci adverbul "still" merge intre cele doua verbe ;
When I went to bed, Angelica was still working.
She started her exam an hour ago and she is still answering the questions.
- daca unul dintre cele doua verbe este negativ, atunci "still" se foloseste inaintea verbului negativ.
Lucy has stopped smoking but her brother still has not quit.
"Still" nu este adesea gasit in propozitii negative : pentru a evita confuzia, acest adverb este de obicei inlocuit cu " no longer" ( or not....any more )= " nu mai " .
Nota : "no more" nu trebuie utilizat.
Exemple:
B1 The computer is not analysing the data any more
B2 They were no longer talking at midnight.B21: but not: They were no more talking at midnight.
B3 I no longer have that picture you gave me.
B2 They were no longer talking at midnight.B21: but not: They were no more talking at midnight.
B3 I no longer have that picture you gave me.
Exemple:
B 31 I still do not have the picture means that
I am waiting to receive it, I have not yet received it.However
B 32 I do not still have the picture means the same as
I no longer have the picture but I had it earlier.
I am waiting to receive it, I have not yet received it.However
B 32 I do not still have the picture means the same as
I no longer have the picture but I had it earlier.
SFAT: pentru a evita greselile, nu mai folosi " still " in context negativ; exista intotdeauna expresii alternative .
YET
inca
- Se refera la o actiune care este de asteptat in viitor; nu este olosit in trecut.
- Pozitia adverbului "yet" :
- sa intrebi daca ceva asteptat s-a intamplat; acesta este de obicei plasat la sfarsitul propozitiei sau a intrebarii.
Is the report ready yet?
Has not you mother told you yet?
- sa spui ceva ce a fost de asteptat , dar nu s-a intamplat ;
Mary can not go yet, she has not finished her work.
They have not paid me yet.
- adverbul " yet" este ocazional folosit in fraze afirmative, dand frazelor un sens similar ca si utilizarii adverbului " still ". Retineti ca acest lucru este mai formal si nu comun ;
We have yet to hear the big new from Maria.
- de multe ori , folosim "yet" si " still" impreuna sa explicam de ce actiunea este continua.
I am still studying at the university because I have not graduated yet.
ALREADY
deja
- Este folosit pentru a se referi la o actiune care a avut loc mai devreme decat era de asteptat.
- Este folosit in propozitii afirmative in prezent sau trecut , dar niciodata in viitor.
They have already seen that movie.
I already know what I am going to buy you for your birthday.
Is Mary already here?
How does he already have the answer to tomorrow`s test?
- In propozitiile timpului prezent, adverbul " already" este plasat intre subiect si verb.
- In propozitiile timpul prezent si a celor timpului prezent perfect ,adverbul "already" se pune imediat dupa subiect.
- Cu toate acestea, in propozitiile timpului perfect, ordinea este : subiect + have + already + paticipiu trecut .
CONFUSIE intre "STILL" si "YET"
Confuzia este cea mai usoara in INTREBARI: diferenta intre actiunea continua ( still ) si incipientul/ inceputul actiunii (yet) este fundamental.REZUMAT GRAFIC
| context afirmativ | context negativ | context interogativ | |
| actiune neinceputa inca | not yet | yet | |
| actiuni continue | still | no longer, (not still) | still |
| actiuni terminate | already | no longer | yet / already |
| actiuni repetate |
