III. Dấu hiệu nhận biết của thì quá khứ tiếp diễn
Một số dấu hiệu nhận biết thì quá khứ tiếp diễn thông qua cụm trạng từ và từ chỉ thời gian:
In the past.
While (trong khi) khi nói về hành động xảy ra song song.
1. Thông thường thì chúng ta chỉ cần thêm đuôi “ing” đứng sau động từ
Ví dụ:
Try => Trying Seem => Seeming
2. Khi động từ tận cùng là “e” thì ta bỏ “e” đi rồi mới thêm “ing”
Ví dụ:
Leave => Leaving Move => Moving
3. Khi động từ tận cùng là “ee” thì ta chỉ cần thêm “ing” phía sau
Ví dụ:
see => seeing
4. Khi động từ tận cùng là “ie” thì ta đổi “ie” thành “y” rồi sau đó thêm “ing”
Ví dụ:
lie =>lying
Chú ý: Các động từ tận cùng là “y” nhưng giữ nguyên “y” khi thêm “ing”.
carry => carrying study => studying
5. Những quy tắc gấp đôi phụ âm ở cuối khi ta thêm “ing” :động từ có 1 âm tiết, tận
cùng là “Nguyên âm + Phụ âm” (Trừ h, w, x, y), thì ta gấp đôi phụ âm và sau đó thêm
“ing”.
Put => Putting Swim => Swimming
Chú ý: Các động từ tận cùng là h, w, x, y thì ta giữ nguyên và sau đó thêm “ing”:
Know => Knowing Say => Saying
6. Khi động từ có 2 âm tiết thì trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2. Nếu tận cùng là
“nguyên âm+phụ âm” (trừ h, w, x, y), ta gấp đôi phụ âm và sau đó thêm “ing”
Begin ==> Beginning Prefer => preferring travel => travelling
7. Những động từ tận cùng bằng “C” , thì ta phải thêm chữ “K” ở cuối rồi sau đó mới
