PRESENT TENSE SIMPLE
Timpul verbal Present Simple ne ajută să ne referim la acţiunile de rutină, la obiceiuri, la ceea ce se întâmplă cu regularitate sau este un adevăr
general valabil. Present Simple e însoţit de multe ori de adverbe de frecvenţă, care indică regularitatea cu care ceva se întâmplă. În această lecţie,
găseşti explicaţii detaliate despre cazurile şi modul de utilizare pentru Present Tense Simple.
I wake up at 7 every day
1. Present Simple is the tense that refers to: repeated actions, preferences, general truths and scheduled events.
2. Present Simple requires the first form of the verb. (Verbs have three forms. You will learn about them in the following lessons.)
When do I use Present Simple?
Present Simple is used for repeated actions, preferences, general truths and scheduled events.
• repeated actions – daily routine: I wake up at 7 every day.
• repeated actions – habits: I usually swim at the weekend.
• likes and dislikes: I like horror movies.
• general truths: Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
• generalizations: People talk too much.

How do I recognize Present Simple?
Present Simple is often marked by explicit or implicit adverbs or time expressions that indicate frequency.
• always, usually, regularly, normally, often, sometimes, occasionally, rarely, seldom, never (adverbs of frequency)
• every day = daily, every week = weekly, every month = monthly, every year = yearly
• once a day, twice a week, three times a month, four times a year
• in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night
• on Mondays, on Thursdays, on Saturdays etc.
Affirmative / Interrogative / Negative
Read the sentences in the next table. They are at Present Simple. Then read the following section – How do I form Present Simple? – to understand
how Present Simple works in the affirmative, interrogative and negative forms.
Affirmative Interrogative Negative
1st
person Singular I wake up at 7 every day. Do I wake up at 7 every day? I do not wake up at 7 every day.
2nd
person Singular You like apples. Do you like apples? You do not like apples.
3rd
person Singular
He plays football on Tuesdays.
She travels in summer.
It takes off at 9.
Does he play football on Tuesdays?
Does she travel in summer?
Does it take off at 9?
He does not play football on Tuesdays.
She does not travel in summer.
It does not take off at 9.
1st
person Plural We pay our bills monthly. Do we pay our bills monthly? We do not pay our bills monthly.
2nd
person Plural You eat twice a day. Do you eat twice a day? You do not eat twice a day.
3rd
person Plural They usually ski in December. Do they usually ski in December? They do not usually ski in December.
How do I form Present Simple?
Affirmative
Subject + Verb I + (...)
e.g.: I (subject) wake up (verb) at 7 every day.
1st
person, sg. → I read daily.
3rd
person, sg. → He reads daily.
1st
person, sg. → I often watch TV.
3rd
person, sg. → He often watches TV.
Remember that:
3/35

• For the 1st
person (sg. and pl.), the 2nd
person (sg. and pl.) and the 3rd
person pl., the verb has the same form. Only the 3rd
person sg. functions
differently.
• The verb is used in its first form, e.g.: I read. The first form is the infinitive form without to. At the 3rd
person sg., we add an s at the end of the
verb, e.g.: He reads.
• Some verbs take an es (instead of an s) at the end for the 3rd
person sg., e.g.: He watches TV.
• The verbs to be and to have behave differently: a) See how to use the verb to be; b) The verb to have has an irregular form for the 3rd person
sg. → He has an apple.
Interrogative
Do / Does + Subject + Verb I + (...) + ?
e.g.: Do I (subject) wake up (verb) at 7 every day?
1st
person, sg. → Do I read daily?
3rd
person, sg. → Does he read daily?
1st
person, sg. → Do I often watch TV?
3rd
person, sg. → Does he often watch TV?
Remember that:
• In interrogative sentences, we use the auxiliary verbs do or does.
• We use do for the 1st
and 2nd
persons (sg. and pl.) and for the 3rd
person pl.. We use does for the 3rd
person sg..
• In interrogative sentences, we do NOT add s or es at the end of the verb for the 3rd
person sg..
• The short answer for a Present Simple question is:
o Affirmative: Yes, I do (for I, you, we, you, they) or Yes, he does (for he, she, it)
o Negative: No, I don't = No, I do not (for I, you, we, you, they) or No, he doesn't = No, he does not (for he, she, it)
Negative
Subject + Do Not / Does Not + Verb I + (...)
e.g.: I (subject) do not wake up (verb) at 7 every day.
1st
person, sg. → I do not read daily.
3rd
person, sg. → He does not read daily.
1st
person, sg. → I do not watch TV often.
3rd
person, sg. → He does not watch TV often.
Remember that:
• In negative sentences, we use the auxiliary verbs do or does and the adverb not.
• We use do not for the 1st
and 2nd
persons (sg. and pl.) and for the 3rd
person pl.. We use does not for the 3rd
person sg..
• In negative sentences, we do NOT add s or es at the end of the verb for the 3rd
person sg..
4/35

• The short form of do not is don't. The short form of does not is doesn't. e.g.: I don't like horror movies. He doesn't like action movies.
Adverb placement
• Place adverbs after the subject and the verb. e.g.: I walk every day. Do I walk every day? I don't walk every day.
• With adverbs of frequency, things are a bit more complicated. It's best to learn their placement through practice. Listen to the audio tutorial in
this lesson.
Surprise!
• The first form of the verb is also called the present simple form. We also refer to it as to the infinitive form.
• Seldom is the more formal equivalent of rarely.
• We use phrasal verbs (verbs with more than one element) in the 3rd
person sg. like this:
He wakes up at 6.
It takes off at 9.
We add s or es at the end of the main verb, not at the end of the entire phrasal verb. More details..
• The first exercise in the Exercises section is a reading exercise. Read it carefully – it is the first step in getting familiar with Present Simple.

PRESENT TENSE CONTINUOUS
Timpul verbal Present Continuous se foloseşte pentru acţiunile care se întâmplă chiar în momentul vorbirii. El se mai numeşte şi Present
Progressive, tocmai pentru că indică acţiuni care sunt in progress, adică în desfăşurare. După cum vei vedea în această lecţie, Present Continuous
poate fi folosit şi în alte câteva situaţii, cum ar fi cea a planurilor bine stabilite pentru viitorul apropiat.
Right now, Ruby is swimming
We form Present Continuous like this: To Be + [Verb + ING]
• We use the verb to be at the correct person/number: am, are, is
• We add the termination -ing to the main verb, e.g.: walking, swimming, taking photos
Note that: Present Continuous is also called Present Progressive because it refers to actions that are in progress.
When do I use Present Continuous?
We use Present Continuous in the following situations:
1. When the action is happening right now.
e.g.: I am reading a book on the beach.
2. When the action is happening at present, even if it takes more time.
e.g.: He is studying to become a doctor.
3. When we refer to plans for the close future.
e.g.: Clara is meeting Ruby tomorrow.
6/35

4. When we refer to a repetitive and, most often, annoying action.
e.g.: He is always arriving late.
In this lesson, we focus on the first use case – when the action is happening right now.
Read the table below to see how we form Present Continuous in the affirmative, interrogative and negative.
1st
person Singular I am sunbathing on the beach. Am I sunbathing on the beach? I am not sunbathing on the beach.
2nd
person Singular You are drinking a cocktail. Are you drinking a cocktail? You are not drinking a cocktail.

It is running in the sand.
Is he getting on the plane?
Is she getting off the plane?
Is it running in the sand?
He is not getting on the plane.
She is not getting off the plane.
It is not running in the sand.
1st
person Plural We are leaving on a business trip. Are we leaving on a business trip? We are not leaving on a business trip.
2nd
person Plural You are returning from holiday. Are you returning from holiday? You are not returning from holiday.
3rd
person Plural They are swimming in the ocean. Are they swimming in the ocean? They are not swimming in the ocean.
How do I recognize Present Continuous?
There are several adverbs of time that help us understand that the action is taking place right now and that we should expect to find Present
Continuous in the sentence:
• now, e.g.: A: What are you doing now? B: I am packing for the holiday.
• right now, e.g.: They are getting on the plane right now.
• in this (very) moment, at the moment, e.g.: The plane is taking off in this very moment.
• at present, e.g.: At present, he is living with his friends, until he finds his own place.
Surprise!
1. We can use contractions:
• I'm sunbathing; I'm not sunbathing
• You're drinking; You're not drinking / You aren't drinking
7/35

• He's getting on; He's not getting on / He isn't getting on
• We're leaving; We're not leaving / We aren't leaving etc.
2. For some verbs, the last letter is doubled in the continuous form, e.g.: getting, travelling (Br.), swimming. Listen to the audio tutorial in this lesson
for more information.
PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE
Avem nevoie de Present Perfect Simple atunci când ne referim la acţiuni care tocmai s-au întâmplat şi sunt importante pentru prezent, la acţiuni sau
situaţii care au început în trecut şi se continuă în prezent şi în alte câteva cazuri. Timpurile perfecte simple cer forma a treia a verbului. Ea este identică
celei de a foua forme în cazul verbelor regulate şi, bineînţeles, neregulată în cazul verbelor neregulate.
The show has just started
How do I form Present Perfect?
(to) have + the 3rd
form of the main verb
e.g.: I have just eaten lunch.
e.g.: He has lived here for 10 years.
Note: We need to use the correct conjugation of the auxiliary verb (to) have: have or has, according to the person/number.
When do I use Present Perfect?
We use Present Perfect for:
• recent actions that have an impact on the present situation:
I have just eaten lunch. (So I am not hungry.)
• uncompleted actions that should be completed soon:
(The negative form is used in this case.)
He has not finished his homework yet.
• changes over time:
She has cut her hair (since the last time I saw her).
8/35

• actions/situations that started in the past and continue in the present:

Present Perfect Continuous si Past Perfect Continuous
Present Perfect Continuous şi Past Perfect Continuous se folosesc în aceleaşi situaţii ca Present Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Simple. Formele
continue, însă, pun accentul pe altceva decât cele simple.
Să vedem două exemple, după care vom da mai multe explicaţii.
e.g. I have washed the car. (Present Perfect Simple)
e.g. I have been washing the car for two hours. (Present Perfect Continuous)
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. (Past Perfect Simple)
e.g. I had been washing the car for two hours before it started to rain. (Past Perfect Continuous)
Present Perfect Simple si Past Perfect Simple
În primul rând, aminteşte-ţi cum se formează şi când se folosesc Present Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Simple.
Pe scurt, Present Perfect Simple are forma have washed. Este compus din verbul auxiliar ‘to have’ alături de cea de a treia formă a verbului principal.
Present Perfect Simple se foloseşte, de obicei, pentru acţiuni care au început în trecut şi se continuă în prezent sau care tocmai s-au încheiat şi au un
rezultat important în prezent.
e.g. I have washed the car. → Am spălat maşina, deci ea e curată acum.
Past Perfect Simple are forma had washed. Este compus din verbul auxiliar ‘to have’ la trecut – adică ‘had’ – alături de cea de a treia formă a verbului
principal. Past Perfect Simple desemnează o acţiune care s-a întâmplat înaintea unei alte acţiuni din trecut.
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. → Mai întâi am spălat maşina şi abia apoi a început să plouă.
10/35

Diferenţa dintre Present Perfect Simple şi Present Perfect Continuous, respectiv dintre Past Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Continuous constă în faptul
că:
- formele simple pun accentul pe acţiune sau pe rezultatul său;
- formele continue evidenţiază durata sau continuitatea acţiunii.
Să revedem exemplele de la începutul lecţiei.
e.g. I have washed the car. → Mă interesează faptul că am spălat maşina şi că acum ea e curată.
e.g. I have been washing the car for two hours. → Mă interesează faptul că mi-am petrecut ultimele două ore spălând maşina.
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. → Mă interesează faptul că spălasem maşina înainte că ploaia să înceapă.
e.g. I had been washing the car for two hours before it started to rain. → Mă interesează faptul că mi-am petrecut două ore spălând maşina înainte ca
ploaia să înceapă.
Iată schemele celor două timpuri verbale continue:
Present Perfect Continuous: have been/has been + [verb + ING]
e.g. I have been waiting, you have been dancing, he has been playing video games
Past Perfect Continuous: had been + [verb + ING]
e.g. I had been waiting, you had been dancing, he has been playing video games

PAST TENSE SIMPLE
Prin Past Tense Simple facem referire la acţiuni punctuale care au început şi s-au terminat în trecut. Pentru acest timp verbal, avem nevoie de
forma a doua a verbului. În cazul verbelor regulate, lucrurile sunt foarte simple: adăugăm -ed la finalul primei forme. Verbele neregulate nu se
comportă la fel, dar găseşti aici toate resursele de care ai nevoie pentru a le învăţa şi exersa.
2. Clara watched TV yesterday
Past Simple
Pune cursorul pe text pentru a vedea traducerea.
1. Past Simple is the tense that refers to actions completed in the past.
2. Past Simple requires the second form of the verb.
3. Verbs may be regular or irregular. This is reflected in their second form.
When do I use Past Simple?
Past Simple is used for actions that started and finished in the past.
• one action in the past: I watched TV yesterday.
• a series of actions in the past: I woke up, then I had breakfast and read the newspaper.
• historical facts: The Second World War started in 1939.
• generalizations in the past: People watched less TV 10 years ago.
12/35

How do I recognize Past Simple?
Past Simple is often marked by explicit or implicit adverbs or time expressions.
• yesterday, yesterday morning, the day before yesterday
• last evening, last week, last month, last September, last summer, last year
• one week ago, two months ago, three years ago
• specific dates or months (if they are in the past): on the 1st
of March, in May
• implicit reference (it is obvious that we are referring to the past): As a teenager, he played video games a lot.
Regular and irregular verbs
English verbs may be regular or irregular. This is linked to their second form. For Past Simple, we need the second form of the verb, which is formed
like this:
• Regular verbs have regular second forms. They take an -ed at the end of the first form. e.g.: (to) watch - watched
• Irregular verbs have irregular second forms. These can only be learned by heart or by practice. e.g.: (to) drink - drank
See the first list of irregular verbs - these are used more frequently. When you are ready, see the second list of irregular verbs.

14/35

Remember that:
• At Past Simple, the verb remains unchanged for all persons, singular and plural (including the 3rd
person sg.).
Interrogative
Did + Subject + Verb I + (...) + ?
e.g.: Did I (subject) watch (verb) TV yesterday?
1st

3rd
person, sg. → Did she watch TV yesterday?
1st
person, sg. → Did I drink whiskey yesterday?
3rd
person, sg. → Did she drink whiskey yesterday?
Remember that:
• In interrogative sentences, the auxiliary did contains the past form of the verb structure. The main verb (to watch or to drink) is used in its
FIRST form.
• The auxiliary did is the same for all persons, singular and plural.
• The short answer for a Past Simple question is:
o Affirmative: Yes, I did (for all persons – Yes, I did; Yes, you did; Yes, he did etc.)
o Negative: No, I didn't = No, I did not (for all persons – No, I didn't; No, you didn't; No, he didn't etc.)
Negative
Subject + Did Not + Verb I + (...)
e.g.: I (subject) did not watch (verb) TV yesterday.
1st
person, sg. → I did not watch TV yesterday.
3rd
person, sg. → She did not watch TV yesterday.
1st
person, sg. → I did not drink whiskey yesterday.
3rd
person, sg. → She did not drink whiskey yesterday.
Remember that:
• In negative sentences, the auxiliary did contains the past form of the verb structure. The main verb (to watch or to drink) is used in its FIRST
form.
• The short form of did not is didn't. e.g.: I didn't watch TV.
Surprise!
• The second form of the verb is also called the past simple form.
• Past Simple is only used for finished actions. If an action started in the past, but is not finished at present, we do not use Past Simple.
15/35

PAST CONTINUOUS
Past Continuous indică acţiuni care erau în desfăşurare într-un moment din trecut. Past Continuous se mai numeşte şi Past Progressive. După
cum probabil ai înţeles deja, atunci când un timp este progressive, el desemnează acţiuni în desfăşurare. Acţiunile aflate în desfăşurare sunt întrerupte
fie de alte acţiuni, fie de momente specifice. Pe această pagină, afli toate detaliile despre Past Tense Continuous.
What was he doing when you took that photo?
We form Past Continuous like this: Was/Were + [Verb + ING]
• The verb to be is in the past: was or were, depending on the person/number.
• We add the termination -ing to the main verb.
Note that: Past Continuous is also called Past Progressive because it refers to actions that were, at a certain moment in the past, in progress.
When do I use Past Continuous?
We use Past Continuous when we refer to interrupted actions in the past.
e.g.: He was talking to Jeremy when I took that photo.
He was talking to Jeremy → the interrupted action (Past Continuous)
when I took that photo. → the action that causes the interruption (Past Simple)
Use cases:
• a past action interrupted by another past action:
He was talking to Jeremy when I took that photo.
• a past action interrupted by a specific time:
They were watching a movie yesterday at 10 p.m.
• parallel actions in the past:
The girls were preparing the meat while the boys were chopping sticks for the fire.
16/35

• to describe the atmosphere in the past:
When I arrived at Ruby's place, Ruby was playing with the cats, Clara was making a cake and Brian and Jeremy were discussing politics.

When & While
The conjunctions when and while are used very often in sentences that contain verbs in the Past Continuous.
When is followed by Past Simple.
He was talking to Jeremy when I took that photo.
While is followed by Past Continuous.
The girls were preparing the meat while the boys were chopping sticks for the fire.
Surprise!
We can use contractions only in negative Past Continuous sentences:
• I/He/She/It wasn't sleeping yesterday evening at 10 o'clock.
• You/We/You/They weren't sleeping yesterday evening at 10 o'clock.
* In Romanian, Past Continuous is translated using imperfectul.
17/35

PAST PERFECT SIMPLE
Timpul verbal Past Perfect Simple indică acţiuni care s-au întamplat înaintea altor acţiuni sau momente din trecut. Past Perfect Simple este,
probabil, cel mai uşor de înţeles şi de învăţat dintre toate timpurile verbale din limba engleză. Atunci când ne referim la ceva care se întâmplase înainte
de altceva din trecut, ştim că avem de a face cu Past Perfect Simple. Mai jos sunt toate informaţiile de care ai nevoie.
Ruby had left when Brian arrived
How do I form Past Perfect?
had + the 3rd
form of the main verb
e.g.: Ruby had left when Brian arrived.
Note: The auxiliary verb had never changes.
When do I use Past Perfect?
We use Past Perfect:
• to refer to an action that happened before another action in the past:
Ruby had left when Brian arrived.
1. Ruby had left (before Brian arrived).
2. Brian arrived (at a moment in the past, after Ruby had left).
• to form the Third Conditional, which we will learn at level Advanced.
Conjunctions
There are three conjunctions that often help us recognize Past Perfect: when, before and after.
Ruby had left when Brian arrived.

Present Perfect Continuous şi Past Perfect Continuous se folosesc în aceleaşi situaţii ca Present Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Simple.
Formele continue, însă, pun accentul pe altceva decât cele simple.
Să vedem două exemple, după care vom da mai multe explicaţii.
e.g. I have washed the car. (Present Perfect Simple)
e.g. I have been washing the car for two hours. (Present Perfect Continuous)
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. (Past Perfect Simple)
e.g. I had been washing the car for two hours before it started to rain. (Past Perfect Continuous)
Present Perfect Simple si Past Perfect Simple
În primul rând, aminteşte-ţi cum se formează şi când se folosesc Present Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Simple.
Pe scurt, Present Perfect Simple are forma have washed. Este compus din verbul auxiliar ‘to have’ alături de cea de a treia formă a verbului principal.
Present Perfect Simple se foloseşte, de obicei, pentru acţiuni care au început în trecut şi se continuă în prezent sau care tocmai s-au încheiat şi au un
rezultat important în prezent.
e.g. I have washed the car. → Am spălat maşina, deci ea e curată acum.
Past Perfect Simple are forma had washed. Este compus din verbul auxiliar ‘to have’ la trecut – adică ‘had’ – alături de cea de a treia formă a verbului
principal. Past Perfect Simple desemnează o acţiune care s-a întâmplat înaintea unei alte acţiuni din trecut.
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. → Mai întâi am spălat maşina şi abia apoi a început să plouă.
Diferenţa dintre Present Perfect Simple şi Present Perfect Continuous, respectiv dintre Past Perfect Simple şi Past Perfect Continuous constă în faptul
că:
20/35

- formele simple pun accentul pe acţiune sau pe rezultatul său;
- formele continue evidenţiază durata sau continuitatea acţiunii.
Să revedem exemplele de la începutul lecţiei.
e.g. I have washed the car. → Mă interesează faptul că am spălat maşina şi că acum ea e curată.
e.g. I have been washing the car for two hours. → Mă interesează faptul că mi-am petrecut ultimele două ore spălând maşina.
e.g. I had washed the car before it started to rain. → Mă interesează faptul că spălasem maşina înainte că ploaia să înceapă.
e.g. I had been washing the car for two hours before it started to rain. → Mă interesează faptul că mi-am petrecut două ore spălând maşina înainte ca
ploaia să înceapă.
Iată schemele celor două timpuri verbale continue:
Present Perfect Continuous: have been/has been + [verb + ING]
e.g. I have been waiting, you have been dancing, he has been playing video games
Past Perfect Continuous: had been + [verb + ING]
e.g. I had been waiting, you had been dancing, he has been playing video games

Timpul verbal Future Simple ne ajută să ne referim la acțiuni din viitor. El se poate forma în două moduri: fie folosind verbul modal Will, fie
folosind structura Be Going To. Cele două variante au cazuri specifice de utilizare, pe care le găsești mai jos. Pe scurt, Will este asociat acțiunilor
voluntare, deciziilor de moment, promisiunilor, iar structura Be Going To apare în cazul planurilor și al intențiilor.

Future Simple
Future Simple can be formed in two ways:
• Future with Will: Yes, I will drive you home.
• 'Be Going to' Future: It is going to rain.
Both refer to the future, but they are used in specific situations.
How do I use Future Simple?
We use Future with Will for:
• instant decisions: A: Coffee or tea? B: I will have tea.
• voluntary actions: I will send you an email when I receive new information.
• promises: (I promise) I will call you when I arrive.
• offers to help: A: The weather is bad. B: I will drive you home.
• requests for help: A: Will you drive me home?
23/35

• predictions: The fortune teller said: "You will mary a rich man." / Twenty years from now, I will have wrinkles.
(In this case, the prediction is made with a high level of certainty, usually for a more distant future.)
We use 'Be Going to' Future for:
• plans: I am going to spend the summer in California.
• intentions: I am going to clean the house this weekend.
• predictions: Look at the sky! It is going to rain.
(In this case, the prediction is made based on a concrete situation / an observable fact in the present.)
Note: According to other sources, Future with Will and 'Be Going to' Future can be used interchangeably for making predictions.
Will is a modal verb. Its conjugation is very simple.
I will have tea. → Will I have tea? → I will not (won't) have tea.
He will call us when he arrives. → Will he call us when he arrives? → He will not (won't) call us when he arrives.
We will drive you home. → Will we drive you home? → We will not (won't) drive you home.
Note: will not = won't
'Be Going to' Future is formed like this: to be + going to + main verb
• The verb to be is used at the correct person/number, i.e. am, are or is.
• Going to never changes.
• The main verb is always in the infinitive.

In colloquial speech, going to can be replaced with gonna:

Timpul verbal Future Continuous
Pentru a înțelege timpul verbal Future Continuous, este necesar să îl cunoaștem pe Future Simple. Să începem, așadar, prin a ne aminti când și cum
folosim timpul verbal Future Simple.
Ascultă varianta audio a lecției.
Future Simple se folosește, bineînțeles, atunci când ne referim la acțiuni din viitor. Future Simple se poate forma în două moduri, fie folosind verbul
modal Will, fie folosind structura Be Going To. Fiecare modalitate de formare se utilizează în cazuri specifice.
Future Simple with Will ne ajută să ne referim la decizii de moment, acțiuni voluntare, promisiuni, oferte sau cereri de ajutor. E.g.: Don’t worry, I will
write the e-mail right away. – Nu-ți face griji, voi scrie e-mailul imediat. (acțiune voluntară, promisiune)
25/35

Future Simple with Be Going To ne ajută să ne referim la planuri și intenții. E.g.: I am going to drive to the countryside tomorrow. – Voi merge cu
mașina la țară mâine. (plan)
Future Continuous
Future Continuous (sau Future Progressive) se folosește atunci când ne referim la o acțiune care va fi în desfășurare
într-un alt moment din viitor sau, altfel spus, la o acțiune din viitor care va fi întreruptă de o altă acțiune sau de un moment din viitor.
Echivalentul din limba română al lui Future Continuous ar fi modul prezumtiv. Acest mod al verbului (voi fi scriind, voi fi mâncând) nu se mai
folosește astăzi, însă el te poate ajuta să deosebești cu mai mare ușurință Future Simple de Future Continuous.
E.g.: Nu-ți face griji, voi scrie e-mailul imediat. – Future Simple (will write)
E.g.: Mâine la 10:00, voi fi scriind raportul lunar. – Future Continuous (will be writing)
Future Continuous se formează astfel:
Will be + [verb + ING]
E.g.: Tomorrow at 10:00, I will be writing the monthly report. → Mâine la 10:00, voi scrie / voi fi scriind raportul lunar.
E.g.: When you get back to work, I will be driving to the countryside. → Când tu te întorci la lucru, eu voi merge / voi fi mergând cu mașina la țară.
26/35

Tomorrow at 10:00 și When you get back to work sunt momentele din viitor la care ne raportăm. Acțiunile care se vor petrece în aceste momente din
viitor sunt exprimate prin Future Continuous.
Observații:
1. Pentru a forma Future Continuous, putem folosi fie Will, fie Be Going To. În general, cele două variante sunt interschimbabile, așa că poți folosi
mereu varianta cu Will, întrucât aceasta este mai scurtă și mai accesibilă.
Iată schema pentru Future Continuous format prin Be Going To:
Be going to be + [verb + ING]
E.g.: The parents are going to be cooking lunch when the children arrive home.
2. Future Continuous (format prin Will) nu își schimbă forma în funcție de număr sau persoană.
3. În cazul timpului verbal Future Continuous, exprimăm momentul de referință din viitor prin Present Simple, nu prin Future Simple. Facem asta
deoarece avem de a face cu time clauses (propoziții care încep cu prepoziții de timp precum: when, while, before, after, by, by the time, as soon as
etc.).
Incorect: When the children will arrive home,..
Corect: When the children arrive home,..
Mai multe exemple pentru Future Continuous:
• When your bus arrives, I will be waiting for you.
• Will you be listening to the radio tonight at 11:00?
• She will not be talking when the teacher enters the classroom.
• I’m sure it will be raining when we leave on holiday.
• Tomorrow morning at 7:30, we will be eating breakfast.
• Will all of you be partying this evening?
• They will be wearing suits when the meeting starts.

Present Perfect Continuous si Past Perfect Continuous Verbe statice în limba engleză
• Future Perfect Simple & Continuous - Curs audio limba engleza spune:
October 2, 2013 at 4:47 pm
[...] În cazul timpurilor verbale Future Perfect Simple și Continuous, la fel ca în cazul lui Future Continuous, exprimăm momentul de referință
din viitor prin Present Simple, nu prin Future Simple. Facem [...]
Future Perfect Simple & Continuous
Timpul verbal Future Perfect se folosește pentru acțiuni care se vor fi întâmplat înainte de un moment din viitor.
Echivalentul din limba română al lui Future Perfect este viitorul anterior (voi fi terminat, va fi pregătit).
Ca și în cazul lui Future Continuous, avem nevoie de momente din viitor la care să ne raportăm. Spre deosebire de Future Continuous, Future Perfect
nu exprimă acțiuni care vor fi în desfășurare în acel moment, ci acțiuni care se vor fi întâmplat până în acel moment.
28/35

Will have + 3rd
form of the verb
E.g.: By midnight, I will have finished the book. → Până la miezul nopții, voi fi terminat cartea.
E.g.: By the time she gets home, he will have prepared dinner. → Până când ajunge ea acasă, el va fi pregătit cina.
Observăm că avem momente de referință din viitor: by midnight, by the time she gets home. Acțiunile care se vor fi întâmplat până în aceste
momente se exprimă prin Future Perfect.
Will have been + [verb + ING]
E.g.: By midnight, I will have been reading the book for six hours. → Până la miezul nopții, voi fi citit cartea timp de șase ore.
E.g.: By the time she gets home, he will have been preparing dinner the entire evening. → Până când ajunge ea acasă, el va fi pregătit cina întreaga
seară.
Future Perfect Continuous se deosebește de Future Perfect Simple prin faptul că pune accentul pe durata sau pe continuitatea acțiunii. For six hours
și the entire evening ne arată cât timp vor fi petrecut personajele făcând acea acțiune.
Observații:
1. Future Perfect Simple și Continuous se pot forma și folosind Be Going To, dar această variantă este interschimbabilă cu varianta prin Will. O
preferăm pe cea din urmă deoarece este mai concisă.
Iată două exemple de propoziții în care apar Future Perfect Simple și Continuous formate prin Be Going To:
29/35

E.g.: By 9:00 in the morning, I am going to have arrived at work.
E.g.: By next summer, I am going to have been studying Chinese for three months.
2. Future Perfect Simple și Continuous nu își schimbă forma în funcție de număr sau persoană.
3. În cazul timpurilor verbale Future Perfect Simple și Continuous, la fel ca în cazul lui Future Continuous, exprimăm momentul de referință din viitor
prin Present Simple, nu prin Future Simple. Facem asta deoarece avem de a face cu time clauses (propoziții care încep cu prepoziții de timp precum:
when, while, before, after, by, by the time, as soon as etc.).
Incorect: By the time she will get home,..
Corect: By the time she gets home,..
Mai multe exemple pentru Future Perfect:
Future Perfect Simple Future Perfect Continuous
