a jeszcze mam jedno pytanie, które dotyczy transformacji.
I haven't had a Chinese meal for ages.
*since
It's ___ages since I (have) had__ a Chinese meal. może być tu użyty Past Simple lub Present Perfect? co nie?
ale gdybym miał do wyboru tylko jeden wybrałbym Simple Past.
w podreczniu tez mam napisany taki przykład
I haven't seen him since I have finished school i have jest zbędne X
I haven't seen him since I finished school a tu jest dobrze V
więc nie wiem, czy dobre są 2 odp, czy tylko Simple Past

Ja bym dal pr.perf and pr.simple in that order. Nie zauwazylem ze poprawiles z IS na ARE w #10.

tylko simple past
to zjedzenie chinszczyzny wydarzylo sie w okreslonym momencie w przeszlosci.

Wiec jak to zdanie bedzie brzmialo?

it's (been) ages since I had...
tylko simple past w drugiej luce

ale w ogóle może po since być Present Perfect? w innym przykładzie

I've liked him since I've known him - ... odkąd go znam, bo 'znanie go' trwa do tej pory.
porównaj
I've liked him since I met him - bo spotkanie go wydarzyło się w określonym momencie w przeszłości.

It's (It is) + period of time + since - BrE
It's (It has) been + period of time + since = AmE

w zaleznosci od znaczenia zdania, po since moze wystapic albo czas past albo perfect:
It's (been) ages since I have had a Chinese meal. = I haven't had a Chinese meal for ages. (podkresasz, jak dlugo czegos nie robiles)
It's (been) ages since I (last) had a Chinese meal. = The last time I had a Chinese meal was ages ago. (podkreslasz, kiedy ostatnio cos robiles)

Co jest zle w odpowiedzi do #2 tak jak ethan ma?

that, w wyrazeniu that company , nie moze dotyczyc terazniejszosci

tak, #2 wymaga Simple Past

np Pracujesz dla firmy w Anglii a mowisz do kogos u kogo jestes na wakacjach w Polsce. Nie mozesz sie wyrazic THAT company?

Now you put it into context in terms of ‘near’ and ‘distant’ reference and it's ok.

quote
It can be extended to an even more abstract and subjective level of interpretation:
Have you seen this report on smoking?
['the one I have recently been thinking about'] [l]
Have you seen that report on smoking?
['the one I was looking at some time ago'] [2]

In practice, howver, [l] and [2] could occur in the same situation, the only difference being the speaker's subjective concept of 'nearness',unquote

As for time reference, 'that' is mormally accociated with something that is behind you.
The same goes for ‘this and that’ (near vs distant polarity) expressing disapproval or dislike.

it's 'associated,' you dimwit.

Czyli ethan's answer is OK.

nie bylo tam kontekstu, wielkim 'bledem' to nie nazwalbym

I take it, you're agreeing with me.

Absolutely, I thought I made it clear in my post.

Nie mialem pewnosci, czasami ogrodkowo walisz;)

poprawie sie :)

na poziomie b1/b2 subtelności dotyczące ładunku emocjonalnego 'that' nie odgrywają takiej roli, ale, oczywiście, dobrze, że pytający dowiedział się czegoś nowego.

Ethan owes me one again then?

Owe you?;). Gdybym sprawy nie poruszyl watek by sie zakonczyl mniemaniem ze ethan ma byka:)

Owe you?;).

Oh you're wrong here bud.:) The fact that I didn't jump on it here in this thread right away doesn't mean I skipped it. I would've gotten here anyway ..becasue you know, there are some posters here and there that I just can't ignore. But ok , you're the man:)
