The English Verb Tenses
INTRODUCTION WORD ORDER IN AN
ENGLISH SENTENCE
İngilizce bir cümlede sözcük dizimi, Türkçe sözcük diziminden farklıdır. Türkçe bir cümlede yüklem cümlenin sonunda yer alır ve özneyi de içinde barındırır.
BEN İNGİLİZCE calışırım Özne Nesne YüklemSubject Object Verb
Yukarıdaki cümleyi, "İngilizce çalışırım." biçiminde de ifade edebiliriz ve ikinci cümlede özneyi açık olarak göremediğimiz halde, öznenin 1. tekil şahıs olduğunu yüklemdeki -m takısından anlarız. Bu durum ingilizce için geçerli değildir. Yani ingilizce bir cümlede yüklem özneyi belli etmez. Bu yüzden, cümleye özne ile başlamak zorundayız. Formüle edilmiş olarak ingilizce cümle düzeni şöyledir:
Verb Yüklem
Object Nesne
"İngilizce çalışırım." cümlesini İngilizce'de, "J study English." biçiminde ifade edebiliriz.
1-1 THE VERB'BE"Sözcükleri rastgele bir araya getirerek cümle kuramayız. Cümle kurabilmemiz için mutlaka bir fiile ihtiyacımız vardır. "Be fiili, "come, go, study, eat, become" vb. gibi asıl fiilimiz olmadığı zaman cümle kurmamızı sağlar. "Be" fiilinin şimdiki zaman ve geniş zaman biçimi aynıdır ve bu tense'lerle "am, is, are" biçiminde kullanılır.
Singular Subject Pronouns
I amYou areHe/She/It is
Plural Subject Pronouns
W e a r e You are They are
I am always nervous before an exam, (general)I am nervous now, because I'm taking an exam in half an hour, (present)
a) "Be" fiilini asıl fiil olarak kullanabileceğimiz başlıca üç kalıp vardır:
a) be + noun b) be + adjective c) be + prepositional phrase
I am a teacher. They are students. She is a Turk. Today is Tuesday.
He is tall.The world is round. They are intelligent. It's very hot today.
They are at home. Jane is from England. She is at the bus-stop. We are in the classroom.
ELS Q 7
b) "Be", yardımcı fiil olarak sürerlik bildiren tense'lerle de kullanılır.
I am writing now.She is reading the newspaper.They are listening to music.

Bu cümledeki "gidiyordum" Sadesi ilk anda Past Continuous Tense gibi görünse de, geçmişte belli bir noktada devam etmekte olan bir eylemi değil de, genelde olan bir eylemi anlattığı için Simple Past Tense kullanmamız gerekir.
When he was young, he played football in the school team, (general in the past) When I saw him yesterday, he was playing football, (a specific point in the past)

32 Q ELS
Present Perfect Tense ile sorulan sorulara yanıt verirken, yine bu kurallara dikkat etmeliyiz.
- Have you met his girlfriend? -Yes, I have, (or No, I haven't)
- Have you met his girlfriend?- Yes, I met her last week, (or I met her at Alice's party.)
- Have you seen my glasses?- Yes, I have. ( or No, 1 haven't.)
- Have you seen my glasses?- Yes, I saw them on the kitchen table a few minutes ago.
b) Yakın geçmişte olup sonuçlan ya da etkileri içinde bulunduğumuz anda devam edeneylemler için bu tense'i kullanırız.
I have burnt myself. (I'm in pain now. - Şu anda acı çekiyorum.) I've cleaned the house. (It's clean now. )
(meeting a friend in the street)- You've cut your hair!- Yes, I went to the barber's last week.
c) Today, this morning, this week, this month, this year, this century vb., henüz.tamamlanmamış bir dönem ifade eden zarflarla bu tense kullanılır.
I've been to the cinema twice this week. I havent been able to go on holiday this year.Technology has advanced greatly this century.
"This morning', "this afternoon" ve "this evening' ifadelerini kullanırken, saat kavramına dikkat etmemiz gerekir.
Genellikle saat 13:00'e kadar olan süre sabah (morning), 17:00'ye kadar öğleden sonra (afternoon), 17:00-20:00 arası ise akşam (evening) saatlerini bildirir. Bu durumda:
I haven't heard the alarm this morning.
ifadesini, sabah diliminin henüz bitmemiş olduğu bir saatte, örneğin saat 11-12 gibisöyleyebiliriz. Eğer öğleden sonraki bir saatte, örneğin saat 2'de bu sözü söylüyorsak, artık"sabah" dilimi tamamlanıp yeni bir döneme geçilmiş olduğu için, o eylem geçmişte kalmıştır veSimple Past Tense kullanmayı gerektirir.
I haven't heard the alarm this morning. (It's 11 a.m. now.) I didn't hear the alarm this morning. (It's 2 p.m. now.) I've seen Tom this afternoon. (It's 3 p.m. now.) I saw Tom this afternoon. (It's 6 p.m. now.)
This year, this month, this century gibi kullanımlarda, eğer sözü edilen zaman dilimi tamamlanmışsa, "this" yerine "last" kullanılır.
I have worked hard this week. (The week hasn't finished yet.)I worked hard last week.They have phoned me twice this month.They phoned me twice last month.
ELS Q 33
d) Lately, recently ile kullanımı:
"Son zamanlarda, son günlerde" anlamına gelen lately ve recently, Present Perfect ile kullanıldığında, yine kesin bir zaman belirtmeden, yaptığımız işleri anlatır. Bu zarflar özellikle, haber niteliği olan son gelişmeleri ifade ederken çok sık kullanılır.
There has been great progress in the science of medicine recently. There have been some changes in my house lately. Have you seen your parents recently?
"Recently", özellikle only, quite, just ve very ile birlikte, Simple Past Tense ile de kullanılır ve "a short time ago" anlamını verir.
They came quite recently. (They came quite a short time ago.)She passed her exam only recently. (She passed her exam only a short timeago.)
e) Already, Just ve yet ile kullanımı:
"Yet" soruda ve olumsuz cümlede kullanılır ve normal olarak cümlenin sonunda yer alır.
- Have you finished your homework yet?- No, I haven't finished it yet.
- Is your father at home?- No, he hasn't come yet
"Just", olumlu cümlede kullanılır ve "only recently" (henüz, şimdi, yenice) anlamını verir. Eylemin yapılmasından sonra geçen sürenin kısalığı ile ilgili vurguyu artırmak için, "only Just" kullanılır. "Just" cümlede, yardımcı fiille asıl fiil arasında yer alır.
- Is the manager in?- No, he has Just gone out.
- Have you finished your homework?- Yes, I've Just finished it. (I've only recently finished it.)
I have only Just completed the translation.
"Already", olumlu cümlede kullanılır ve "zaten, çoktan" anlamına gelir. Bir eylemin umulandan daha önce bir zamanda yapılmış olduğunu vurgular. Cümle içindeki yeri normalde yardımcı fiil ile asıl fiil arasındadır, ancak cümle sonunda da kullanılır.
- Shall we go to see the film "The Lord of the Rings"?- Not a good idea! I have already seen it.
Manager: Don't forget to mail the invitations in time. Secretary: I've already posted them.
Mother: Wash your hands before you sit at the table. Son: I've washed them already.
f) Ever, never, all my life, in his life, always, occasionally, often, several times, once,twice, etc. gibi zarflarla kullanımı:
Daha önce, sıklık bildiren zarfların (ever, never, always, often, etc.) Simple Present ile kullanımını görmüştük. Aynı zarflar, anlamda biraz bir değişiklikle, Present Perfect Tense ile de kullanılır.
34 Q ELS

She invited me to her house many times during my stay in Germany, but I never had any spare time.
