🔰Past perfect simple: advanced points
الماضي التام البسيط: استخدامات متقدمة
1️⃣ Past perfect or simple past with after, as soon as, etc
🔻We can use time conjunctions (e.g. after, as soon as, when, once) to talk about two actions or events that happened one after the other. Usually the past perfect is not necessary in these cases, because we are not 'going back' from the time that we are mainly talking about, but simply moving forward from one event to the next.
🔻يمكننا استخدام أدوات العطف الزمنية (على سبيل المثال after ، as soon as ، when ، once) للحديث عن حدثين حدثا واحدًا تلو الآخر. عادة ما يكون الماضي التام ليس ضروريًا في هذه الحالات ، لأننا لا "نعود" من الوقت الذي نتحدث عنه بشكل أساسي ، و لكن ببساطة نتحرك للأمام من حدث إلى آخر.
🔹After it got dark, we came back inside.
🔹As soon as Megan arrived, we sat down to eat.
🔹Once it stopped raining, we started the game again.
🔻However, we can use the past perfect with after, as soon as, etc to emphasise that the first action is separate, independent of the second, completed before the second started.
🔻و مع ذلك ، يمكننا استخدام الماضي التام مع after ، as soon as ، وما إلى ذلك للتأكيد على أن الحدث الأول منفصل ، مستقل عن الحدث الثاني ، و مكتمل قبل بدء الحدث الثاني.
🔹She didn't feel the same after her dog had died.
🔹As soon as he had finished his exams, he went to Paris for a month.
🔻This use of the past perfect is especially common with WHEN. (When has several meanings, so we often have to show the exact time relations by the verb form.)
🔻هذا الاستخدام للماضي التام شائع بشكل خاص مع WHEN. (عندما يكون لها معاني عديدة ،غالبًا ما يتعين علينا إظهار ارتباطات الزمن الدقيقة بصيغة الفعل). قارن:
🤔Compare:
🔹When I had opened the windows, I sat down and had a cup of tea.
(Not When I opened the windows, I sat down ...: the first action was quite separate from the second.)
◽️When I opened the window, the cat jumped out.
(More natural than When I had opened the window, ...: one action caused the other.)
🔹When I had answered my emails, I did some gardening.
◽️When I wrote to her, she came at once.
2️⃣ Unrealised hopes and wishes; things that did not happen
🔻The past perfect can be used to express an unrealised hope, wish, etc. Had is usually stressed in this case.
🔻الزمن الماضي التام يمكن استخدامه للتعبير عن أماني و أمنيات غير محققة ..الخ. في هذا حالة يكون الفعل had مشدد عند النطق.
🔹I HAD hoped we would leave tomorrow, but it won't be possible.
🔹He HAD intended to make a cake, but he ran out of time.
3️⃣ Past perfect with It was the first/second ... that ...
🔻We generally use a past perfect after it was the first/second ... that ... and similar structures (Same with Present perfect. See above👆🏻)
🔻يستخدم هذا الزمن مع عبارات "كانت المرة الأولى/الثانية التي ... و صيغ مماثلة تماماً كما في الزمن المضارع التام (راجع الدرس أعلاه👆🏻)
🔹It was the first time that I had heard her sing.
🔹It was the fifth time she had asked the same question.
🔹It was only the second opera I had seen in my life.
