Syntaxe

 

Present perfect

et past perfect (appelé aussi pluperfect)

se construisent avec haveauxiliaire.

 

 

Dans certaines grammaires,

-EN est le symbole du participe passé.

 

Il s'agit bien d'un symbole,

et non d'une terminaison.

 

Exemples de verbes au participe passé :

thought, taken, become, cut, worked.

 

 

 

 

 

Present perfect actif et past perfect actif :

 

have / had est suivi du Vau participe passé.

 

Present perfect :

haveauxiliaire + verbeau participe passé.

 

Past perfect :

hadauxiliaire +verbeau participe passé.

 

 

 

 

 

Present perfect passif et past perfect passif :

 

have / had est suivi de been et du Vau participe passé.

 

Present perfect :

haveauxiliaire + been + verbeau participe passé.

 

Past perfect :

hadauxiliaire + been + verbeau participe passé.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comme le present perfect

(haveauxiliaire + Vau participe passé),

 

le past perfect simple actif

(hadauxiliaire + Vau participe passé)

 

sert notamment à faire un bilan,

mais dans un contexte passé,

sur une période révolue.

 

 

Cette rétro forme verbale

s'insère donc dans une suite d'énoncés

où les autres verbes sont au passé

(concordance / cohérence des temps).

 

 

Le past perfect simple actif

peut aussi contribuer à attribuer

un "plus" énonciatif aux mots de l'énoncé :

 

Within the space of a single year

Grand had built his thought into a distillery,

and a distellery into a family philosophy.

Doc Watson, the guitarist and folk singer

whose flat-picking style elevated the acoustic guitar

to solo status in bluegrass and country music,

and whose interpretations of traditional American music

profoundly influenced generations of folk and rock guitarists,

died [ passé actif ] on Tuesday in Winston-Salem, N.C.

He was [ passé actif ] 89.



Mr. Watson, who had been

[ bilan d'une période passée,

puisqu'il y a décès > past perfect actif ]

blind since he was a baby,

died [ passé actif ] in a hospital

after recently undergoing abdominal surgery,

The Associated Press quoted [ passé actif ]

 

a hospital spokesman as saying.

On Thursday his daughter, Nancy Ellen Watson,

said he had been hospitalized

after falling at his home in Deep Gap,

N.C., adding that he did not break any bones

but was very ill.

Border shelling overshadows

U.S.-Pakistan-Afghan talks

KABUL/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -

Fighting across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border

will overshadow talks when the two countries

meet along with the United States on Tuesday

to map out plans for reconciliation with the Taliban.

 

Pakistan on Monday rejected [ passé actif ]

Afghan allegations

it had fired

[ antériorité dans un contexte passé > past perfect actif ]

470 rockets into Afghanistan over the past three weeks,

saying only that "a few accidental rounds" may have crossed

the border when it pursued militants [ passé actif ]

who had attacked its security forces.

[ antériorité dans un contexte passé > past perfect actif ]

 

But the escalation of fighting on the border

between Pakistan's ethnic Pashtun tribal areas and Afghanistan

has underscored the difficulties the three countries face

in working together to reach a political settlement

to the 10-year Afghan war.

From Bloody Scene to E.R.,

Life-Saving Choices in Tucson

and JENNIFER MEDINA

 

TUCSON —

The moment Tony Compagno stepped off his fire engine,

frantic people spattered with blood began running up

to direct him to gunshot victims.

Among the wounded was Representative Gabrielle Giffords,

who had been shot in the head.

Mr. Compagno was one of the first paramedics to reach

the scene of the shooting rampage

at a shopping center in Tucson last Saturday.

“Lots of people were laying on the ground,”

said Mr. Compagno, from Fire Station 30...

A First Funeral

Dr. Friese does not remember seeing any of the patients

come through the doors of the trauma center last Saturday

— except for Christina.

Five days after the girl’s death,

his secretary told him

he was invited to Christina’s funeral.

He did not ask from whom the invitation came.

Was it from the family?

Or did the nurses planning to share a bus

to join the thousands of mourners seek him out?

It did not matter.

Without hesitating, he decided he would go.

There was no time

for Dr. Friese to meet Mr. and Mrs. Green

on Saturday.

He was too busy attending to other patients,

so it fell to a pediatric specialist to tell them the outcome.

And he did not meet them Thursday either.

“I’m very glad that I didn’t meet her parents,” he said.

“I think I would have had trouble.

I would have had emotional ...”

His voice trailed off.

“I would have embarrassed myself,” he said.

He closed his eyes for just a moment

 

and sighed once more.

“I usually don’t get upset.”

He add, “I don’t know why, it’s just tough.”

 

When he showed up [ passé actif ] at the funeral

in his blue scrubs and his white surgeon’s jacket,

police officers helped [ passé actif ] him move

through the overflow crowd waiting outside the church.

 

He was ushered right in.

[ passé passif du verbe à particule usher in ]

 

It was [ passé actif ] the first time

he had ever attended a patient’s funeral.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

Iraq had [ passé actif ] no stockpiles of biological

and chemical weapons before last year's U.S.-led invasion

and its nuclear program had decayed

a weapons inspector appointed by the Bush administration

said [ passé actif ] on Wednesday.

A statement released on behalf of the company

said [ passé actif ]

 

it was [ passé actif ] "devastated".

the first accident involving one of its vehicles

in more than eight years of trading.
