Watch out! Alcuni verbi, detti verbi di stato, non ammettono la forma progressiva, quindi non possono essere usati al past continuous, ma solo al past simple; alcuni di questi però ammettono la forma progressiva con cambiamento di significato ( Unit 10.4).

1 Il past continuous: forma e uso

Indica l’alternativa corretta. Lucy was upset because her friends weren’t remembering / didn’t remember her birthday. I was having / had a bath when you called.

◗ Forma

Saying it

Il past continuous è composto dal passato di be + la forma in -ing del verbo principale. Le regole per la costruzione della forma in -ing sono le stesse del present continuous ( Unit 10.1). forma affermativa

forma negativa

I / he / she / it was eating

I / he / she / it was not (wasn’t) eating

you / we / they were eating

you / we / they were not (weren’t) eating

forma interrogativa

forma interrogativa-negativa risposte brevi

Was I / he / she / it eating?

Wasn’t I / he / she / it eating?

Yes, I / he / she / it was.

Were you / we / they eating?

Weren’t you / we / they eating?

Yes, you / we / they No, you / we / they were. weren’t.

No, I / he / she / it wasn’t.

000 Quando usi il past continuous oralmente, ricorda che: • was e were hanno pronuncia debole /wəz/ e /wə(r)/. • le due consonanti finali “ng” del verbo principale sono in realtà un unico suono, /ŋ/, una n nasale. Non basta quindi non pronunciare la “g” finale.

Ascolta e ripeti.

I was reading a book.

ESERCIZI

Non stavo lavorando ieri mattina alle 10. Stavo correndo nel parco.

– Yes, he was. / No, he wasn’t.

– William stava ascoltando la musica?

– Sì. / No.

• Il past continuous si traduce in italiano con l’indicativo imperfetto oppure con “stare” + gerundio. We were chatting when Alice walked into the restaurant. Chiacchieravamo / Stavamo chiacchierando quando Alice entrò nel ristorante.

◗ Uso Il past continuous si usa: • per riferire azioni ed eventi in corso di svolgimento in un certo momento del passato. – What were you doing at 4 yesterday afternoon? – I was studying English. – Che cosa facevi ieri pomeriggio alle 4?

– Studiavo inglese.

• per descrivere azioni in corso di svolgimento nel passato che sono state interrotte dal veriﬁcarsi di un’altra azione. L’azione che interviene è espressa al past simple. In questo tipo di frasi di solito si usa il past continuous con when, while oppure as, mentre il past simple può essere introdotto solo da when. I was cooking dinner when someone rang the doorbell. Stavo preparando la cena quando qualcuno suonò il campanello.

When / While / As he was typing his essay, the computer crashed. Mentre stava scrivendo il suo saggio, il computer si bloccò.

He was typing his essay when the computer crashed. Stava scrivendo il suo saggio quando il computer si bloccò.

consapevolezza globale • divario di genere • tassi di alfabetizzazione • iscriversi • formazione professionale • istruzione primaria • istruzione superiore • tecnologie digitali per l’istruzione • pari opportunità • zone in via di sviluppo One of the main elements of the 2030 Sustainable Development programme is the quality education goal (SDG 4), which aims to achieve universal primary and secondary education for all. The number of students enrolling in primary education in developing regions is now above 90%, with a dramatic increase in literacy rates and many and a greater number of girls attending school. However, there are still areas where basic education is not guaranteed. Another aim of SDG4 is to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, and to eliminate the gender gap in order to allow universal access to good quality higher education. Specific projects have been set up to help achieve this goal, and project partnerships have been established. Digital education technologies help improve important personal skills such as collaboration, problem solving and global awareness. They can help connect people from different parts of the world with the possibility of sharing contents. A practical example of this kind of educational partnership is in Mozambique, where a joint programme is improving young people’s access to quality vocational training and therefore increasing their chances of finding decent job opportunities within local industries.
