He was actually acting like a ghost
قبلاً درباره گذشته استمراری و قیدها صحبت کردهایم.
در مورد گذشته استمراری گفیم برای توصیف عملی که در گذشته در حال وقوع بوده استفاده میشود.
در مورد قید هم میدانیم که برای توصیف بیشتر زمان، مکان، حالت یا شدت و میزان عمل استفاده میشوند و معمولاً در وسط جمله و قبل از فعل اصلی میآیند.
هر چقدر سطح زبان ما بالاتر برود، قیدهای بیشتری یاد میگیریم و در چنین جملاتی که مربوط به گذشته استمراری است از آنها استفاده کنیم.
این قیدها غالباً در وسط جمله و گاهی بین دو بخش از فعل (مانند جمله actually در جمله بالا) قرار میگیرند.
“He was still waiting at the traffic light.”
“He was actually acting like a ghost.”
“I was just thinking about you.” <‘Forrest Gump’>
