GRAMATYKA
Future Time Clauses -wyrażanie przyszłości po takich spójnikach jak:after, as soon as, before, when
Kiedy mówimy o przyszłości, po takich spójnikach, jak after, as soon as, before, when nie stosujemy czasu przyszłego, lecz czasy teraźniejsze.
Przykład:
As soon as you enter the gallery, you will fall in love with the displays. – Od razu po wejściu do galerii zakochasz się w eksponatach.
Spójniki, po których stosujemy czas teraźniejszy, mówiąc o przeszłości:
after – po tym, jak
Przykład:
After admiring the display, you will feel like an expert. – Po tym, jak obejrzysz ekspozycję, poczujesz się jak ekspert.
as soon as – jak tylko
Przykład:
As soon as you enter the museum, you will find the famous Rosetta Stone. – Jak tylko wejdziesz do muzeum, znajdziesz słynny Kamień z Rosetty.
before – zanim
Przykład:
We will do the shopping before we leave the museum. – Zanim wyjdziemy z muzeum, zrobimy zakupy.
until – dopóki nie
Przykład:
You won’t understand it until you see Japanese art. – Nie zrozumiesz tego, dopóki nie zobaczysz japońskiej sztuki.
when – kiedy
You will be really pleased when you visit the museum shop. – Będziesz naprawdę zadowolony/zadowolona, kiedy odwiedzisz sklep muzealny.
ZWRÓĆ UWAGĘ!
Jeśli zdanie rozpoczynające się od spójników takich jak:after, as soon as, before, whenwystępuje jako pierwsze w zdaniuzłożonym, to zawsze oddzielamyjeprzecinkiem.
Przykład:
As soon as we come to London, we will visit the British Museum. – Jak tylko przyjedziemy do Londynu, odwiedzimy Muzeum Brytyjskie.
Jeśli natomiast występuje ono po zdaniu głównym, nie stawiamy przed nim przecinka. Inaczej jest w języku polskim.
Przykład:
We will visit the British Museum as soon as we come to London. – Odwiedzimy Muzeum Brytyjskie, jak tylko przyjedziemy do Londynu.
