Zasady dodawania końcówki -ing
- Zwykłe czasowniki → -ing: play → playing, read → reading
- Kończące się na -e → usuwamy -e: make → making, write → writing
- Jednosylabowe, akcent na końcu → podwajamy spółgłoskę: run → running, sit → sitting
- Kończące się na -ie → -y + ing: lie → lying
- Kończące się na -c → -k + ing: picnic → picnicking
Kiedy używamy Future in the Past Perfect Continuous?
- W mowie zależnej po czasownikach w przeszłości – zamiast Future Perfect Continuous – He said he would have been working there for 10 years by 2020.
- Podkreślenie długości trwania akcji do momentu w „przyszłości” z perspektywy przeszłości – Last year I thought I would have been learning English for 15 years by now.
- Wyjaśnienie przyczyny lub efektu w przeszłości – She was exhausted because she would have been preparing for the exam all week (z wcześniejszej perspektywy).
- Was/Were going to have been + ing może być używane zamiennie w wielu sytuacjach.
