Peter was not feeling very well

این جمله نوشته شده روی بشقاب‌های قدیمی Bread Butter را بخوانید:

بخشی از جمله این است:

Peter was not feeling very well

قبلاً گذشته استمراری را یاد گرفتیم و گفتیم که برای بیان انجام کاری در گذشته به کار می‌رود.

اما در این مثال می‌بینیم که می‌توان از فرم منفی گذشته استمراری به این شیوه استفاده کرد: برای بیان تجربه، فکر و احساس؛ نه انجام کاری.

Subject (Peter) + verb (“was feeling”) + negation (“not”) + adverb (“very well”).

در زیر چند مثال دیگر را با هم می‌خوانیم:

“He was not planning to become a professional player.”
