A Past Perfect nie? Bo tez by sie w paru miejscach przydal. A jakie sa Twoje propozycje?

1. was cycling; stepped
2. was walking; managed; didn't hit
3. had just got;rang; saw Tu moim zdaniem Past Perfect
4. told; happened; wanted

1. was cycling, stepped.
2. was going, managed, didn't hit
3. had just got (BrE)/ gotten(AmE), saw
4. told, had happened, wanted.

w 3. jeszcze rang.

Zgadzam się z bernardem zastanawiam się tylko, czy w drgim zdaniu nie powinno być "not hit him", bo jest to odniesienie do "I managed to stop" Zdołał zatrzymać się (bezokolicznik) i nie uderzyć go (bezokolicznik).

"bernardem"

;-(


>2. I......(go) quite fast but luckily I (manage) to stop in time and
>......(not)(hit) him

>czy w drgim zdaniu nie
>powinno być "not hit him"

Could be, I guess. I think that both versions will work. If you say ".. and not to hit him", you refer to the manage. But, if you say ".. and didn't hit him " you continue to say what you were going to say, but there are no links to any previous verbs/ other parts of the sentence. This is how I see it.

I apologise Bednar87 for twisting your nick. It wasn't on purpose :)

A nie chcecie w 3 zdaniu dac 'had seen'?

>I apologise Bednar87 for twisting your nick. It wasn't on purpose :)

>:]

Nothing to apologise for. It's the word "bernard" that I hate, because it conjures up rather unpleasant associations.

>>A nie chcecie w 3 zdaniu dac 'had seen'?

As for the had seen in the third sentence, I personally wouldn't. Why? Well, you'll have to wait untill I have a good explanation.

Ach to trzecie zdanie...

Wycofuję się. Powinien tam być Continuous

3. I......(just)(get) home when the phone ......(ring). I waqs surprised to hear Shai's voice because I ......(see) him only ten minutes before at school.

I was just getting home when the phone rang. I was suprised to hear Shai's voice because I had seen him only ten minutes before at school.
