The Future In The Past Simple Tense (Future time in the past). Exercises

I said that there are four future time we can use last time. Today we will look at Future Continuous In The Past - Future continued in the past.

We use it when in the past (for example, last summer), we are talking about actions / events that will occur in the future, making focus on their duration.

Watch examples: "They hoped that they would rest all day. He thought she would prepare for the exam all evening».

In all these suggestions, we are talking about long processes. Build such offers is easy. Now I will teach you this.

But since in the first part we have the past time, then according to the rule of coordination of times, we cannot use the future in the second part. Therefore, we must make Future Continuous past. It's very simple!

We only need to replace Will on Would.

...... ..They would be Play. ing. Football All Day.
...... ..oni will play football all day.

...... ..he. would be Study ing. The Whole Evening.
...... ..on will be learning all evening.

And now let's connect two parts together. In writing speech to connect two parts of the sentence, we often use the word that that is translated as "what." But in conversational speech, we usually omit.

The formation scheme will be as follows:

Active person + SAID / THOUGHT / TOLD + (THAT) + acting face + Would be + verb with -ing

SHE SAID (THAT) SHE would be work ing. All Day.
She said that would work all day.

THEY THOUGHT (THAT) HE would be Driv. ing. ALL NIGHT LONG.
They thought he would drive the car all night.

HE KNEW (THAT) THEY would be Walk. ing..
He knew that they would walk.

Negance in the form of Future Continuous in the Past in English

We can add negation in the first or second part to make an offer negative.

Negation in the first part

Since the first part is used Past Simple, the denial is formed using the auxiliary verb of this time DID and negative notot particle.

Usually they are reduced like this:

dID + NOT \u003d DIDNT

At the same time, the action itself will now stand in the initial form, that is, not to change in any way (Say, Tell, Hope). The scheme of education of such a proposal:

Active face + DIDN "T + Say / Think / TELL + (THAT) + acting face + Would be + verb with -ing

He. didn't KNOW (THAT) HE would be Study ing.aT THAT TIME.
He did not know what he would do at this time.

She. didn't THINK (THAT) SHE would be Cook ing.the Whole Evening.
She did not know what would cook all evening.

Negation in the second part

To make a negative second part, we need to deliver not after Would.

We can cut:

would + not \u003d Wouldn't

The scheme of such a proposal will be as follows:

Active person + SAID / THOUGHT / TOLD + (THAT) + acting face + WouldN'T + Be + verb with -ing

He SAID (THAT) HE wouldn't be Sleep. ing. The Whole Morning.
He said he would not sleep all morning.

THEY THOUGHT (THAT) THEY wouldn't be Walk. ing..
They thought they would not walk.

Question form in Future Continuous In The Past in English

If we want to ask a question, then we need to change a little the first part. To do this, we set an auxiliary verb DID to the first place in the proposal, and the action itself is in the initial form.

The proposal scheme will be as follows:

DID + acting face + Say / Think / TELL + (THAT) + acting face + Would be + verb with -ing

DID She. say. (that) she would be Watch. ing. A MOVIE?
She said she will watch a movie?

DID They know (that) they would be work ing.?
Did they know that they would work?

We disassemble the theory, and now let's consolidate the use of Future Continuous In The Past in practice.

1. He did not think she would rest all evening.

Future in the Past Simple

Future in the Past Perfect

Using the times of Future in the Past

1. Future in the Past Simple It is used to express ordinary, ordinary actions or actions in the future, overlooked in the past.

He Said He Would Soon Take Up FRENCH. - He said that the French would come soon.(Tighten - the future action, reviewed from the past, about the past said)

2. Future in the Past Continuous It is used to express a long-term action, which will occur at a certain point in the future, or future action arising from the circumstances. Both actions relate to the past.

And She Thought That At this Time Next Sunday She Would Be Approaching Her Beloved Paris. "And she thought that at the same time next Sunday she would already approach her beloved Paris."

3. Future in the Past Perfect It is used to express actions that will end to a certain point in the future relative to the past.

He Realized That He Would Have FINISHED HIS Task Long Before Midnight. - He realized that she would finish his job long before the onset of midnight.

4. Future In The Past Perfect Continuous It is used to express a long-acting, which will begin until a certain point in the future relative to the past and last until this point or will continue at the time. This form is rarely used in the book style.

HE SAID HE Would Have Been Living Here for Ten Years Next Year. - He said he would live here for 10 years next year.

Note: Despite the fact that the times of Future In The Past denote future actions, the actual time of these actions can be much wider.
I Said I Should Come Today, and SO I "M Here! (real time)

The grammar of the English language cannot be called illogical, because everyone who somehow came across it with its rules, may noted that all temporary forms have a clear structure and order, and almost every case of the use of one or another design can be explained. But it is impossible not to say that English from the point of view of education is completely similar to Russian. There are features here, and some rules are characteristic of this language. In particular, such a temporary form as Future In The Past in English.

This design has no analogues in Russian grammar. As it becomes clear from the title, with the help of such a structure, the future is expressed, which, however, is inextricably linked with the past. It is about this time and about its features of education and use further and will be discussed.

The essence of time

Despite the fact that the keyword in the title of this form is Future, this type of time is applicable to special situations. It is primarily about complex proposals, where the main part is used in the past time, for example, in, and the dependent, which even relates to the future, however, it is impossible to use a simple future here, and in this case the relevant and forced shape is Future in the past. Very often it is found in the indirect speech (Reported Speech), when the words of the author standing in the past, it is used precisely the future in the past tense.

Just like a simple future time, the future in English has the same categories - Simple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous. For clarity, the table below shows the table of such forms and formulas for which they are formed:

Next, it should be described in more detail describe the features of each time of Future In The Past in English and bring examples of their use. In addition, for two of these designs - Simple and Perfect - you can also form a Passive form, i.e., on the same principle as at normal future.

FUT INDEFINITE IN THE PAST

A similar structure is relevant in English in the case when it is necessary to show a typical situation in the future. The only difference is that it is consumed after the past time, adjacent to it as a dependent part. There is no complexity in the formation: this is auxiliary Would (and not Will, like a simple future), and infinitives without a particle to, simply speaking, verb in the first form. In the offers of Future Indefinite In The Past, it looks like this:

· Peter Told Me That He Would Return Quite Soon - Peter told me that it would be back pretty soon
· I Wanted To Know Who Mr. Richards Would Call Me Again - I asked when Mr. Richards call me again

As can be seen from examples, the time of Future Simple In The Past is often preceded by a simple time (Past Simple), which is the main reason for the use of such a temporary form.

Education and use of FUT CONTINUUS IN THE PAST

This time as Future Continuous In The Past is a practically completely similar to the usual long-lasting future. The only difference is that the attitude with the past, and the process in the future in any case is associated with the past and depends on it.

Education is similar to the usual Fut. Continuous, only here auxiliary verb is Would, which shows the attitude to the past. The formula is as follows: Would + BE + V (-ing). Here, of course, the similarity with Past Continuous is traced, but the duration is aimed at action in the future:

· My Wife SAID THAT THE FOLLOWING DAY SHOLE MORNING. My wife told me that the next day she will work all morning.
· My Friends Didn't Tell Me That Next Week The Beach at this Time. My friends did not tell me that next week at that time they would lie on the beach.

Application and Structure FUT PERFECT IN THE PAST

Another species form, which English is different from Russian, is Future Perfect in The Past. In this design, the basis is the completeness and completeness of the action associated with the future, but due to the dependence of the past time it can not be simply Future, it acquires the Future in the Past form, and also Perfect.

The structure is formed by adding to the Would auxiliary verb have, characteristic of the perfect, and the main verb standing in the third form, or Past Participle, as it is called correctly. Here is the situation, what does this design look like in speech:

· I Showed Him The Man Who Would Have FINISHED THE WHOLE EXPERIMENT by Next Friday. I showed him that the person he himself, who will finish the experiment to next Friday.
· I Wondered Why John Would Have Left The House When We Came. I wondered why John would already go to the point how we would come.

Construction and Application Fut Perfect Continuous In The Past

There is another form that is used in English is quite rare, but it is possible to meet it, which means you need to tell about it. It is a Future Perfect Continuous In The Past, a structure where it is about action, which for a specific moment in the future will be long for some time. Many find a connection with Past Perfect Continuous here, but this time still belongs to the future, despite the fact that it changes due to the influencing main part in the past.

It looks like this: Would + Have + Been + V (-ing), i.e., almost the same as the usual Future, with the exception of the shape of the auxiliary verb, where it changes with Will on Would.

Suggestions with such a design are infrequently used, but this does not prevent several examples:

· He Invited Me to Come The Following Day and Said That by Next MONTH HE Would Have Been Living There for 5 years. He invited me to come and said that the next month would live there for 5 years
· She Informed Me That BY 2019 She Would Have Been Working On Her Project For 10 years. She told me that by 2019 will be 10 years old how she works on his project

As can be seen, English is rich in its specific features, and the future in the past time is one of them. The examples described above will help better focus in how similar viewed forms are formed and used in different situations. And the presented structures themselves will be able to become a good help in speech and will help to demonstrate their knowledge of these in their own unusual designs, which, nevertheless, from the point of view of all existing grammatical norms is absolutely correct and logical.
