Introduction

Trajni preteklik (ali progresivni) [past continuous or progressive] je čas, ki ga uporabljamo za opisovanje situacij, ki so se zgodile v preteklosti in so potekale v kateremkoli trenutku nekega časovnega obdobja.

Ko so v vprašalni obliki, sprašujejo nekaj glede stvari, ki so se dogajale v preteklem časovnem obdobju.

Form

Past continuous v vprašalni obliki ima strukturo:
Was/Were + subject + [verb + -ing] + …?

  • Was/were: past simple glagola to be.
Was/Were Subject Verb + -ing Question
Mark
Was I working …?
Were you working …?
Was he/she/it working …?
Were we/you/they working …?

Example

  1. Daljše dejanje, ki poteka v ozadju, in ki ga prekine krajše dejanje

    • Was she doing sport when I called her?
    • Were they watching TV when she got back from work?
  2. Dogodek, ki je potekal ob točno določenem času v preteklosti

    • Were they always watching TV on high volume late at night?

Use

Past continuous v vprašalni obliki uporabljamo, ko sprašujemo o dogodkih ali dejanjih, ki so potekala v preteklosti. Ponavadi želimo pokazati, da so trajala dlje časa.

Past continuous uporabljamo v naslednjih primerih:

  1. Daljše dejanje v ozadju, ki ga prekine nepričakovano krajše dejanje (nenadoma se nekaj zgodi, medtem ko drugo daljše dejanje že poteka);
  2. Dogodek, ki je potekal v točno določenem času v preteklosti (izraženi so datum, ura ali specifične informacije o dogodku, ki je potekal v preteklosti);
  3. Neprekinjeno dejanje, ki je potekalo nekaj časa (dogodek, ki je dalj časa potekal v preteklosti);
  4. Dolžina časovnega obdobja v preteklosti (dogodek, ki je dalj časa potekal v preteklosti);
  5. Pretekla istočasna dejanja (dva dogodka sta se zgodila istočasno);
  6. Zaporednost dejanj v preteklosti (ponavadi uporabljamo za opis situacij, v katerih je več dogodkov potekalo istočasno);
  7. Ponavljajoče se ali nadležno dejanje (z always ali s podobnimi izrazi, ki namigujejo na idejo ponavljajočega se dogodka).

Summary

Trajni preteklik [past continuous] v vprašalni obliki uporabljamo za spraševanje o situacijah, ki so se zgodile v preteklosti in so potekale v vsakem trenutku nekega časovnega obdobja.

Struktura je:
Was/Were + subject + [verb + -ing] + …?

Na primer:
— “Was I playing football when the phone rang?” = Past continuous uporabljamo zato, da vprašamo, ali je bilo kaj prekinjeno, ko je zazvonil telefon.
♦ “Did I play football?” = Past simple uporabljamo, ko sprašujemo o dejanju, ki se je začelo in končalo  v preteklosti.
