de répétition, de permanence

dans le passé

Faille temporelle :

ce qui existait / était vrai

et les mots portés

par cette structure verbale

 expriment souvent un regret,

de la nostalgie :

Y'know what makes me feel old, Mr. P?

Yesterday, I walked into an antique store...

... and it was full of toys I used to play with as a kid!

The Beatles

Yesterday lyrics - 1965

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why'd she have to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

I'm used to quarantining

rappel :

de nombreux noms

se terminent par -ing.

Attention,

les mots en -ing

ne sont pas tous des noms,

il y a par exemple beaucoup

d'adjectifs-ing :

sickening, shocking, interesting,

outstanding, groundbreaking,

convincing, overwhelming,

growing, worsening,

disarming, alarming, fighting...

You may not remember me,

but I used to say pretty mean things about you back then!

Like what?

I used to say

you'd always be a short, bald, lonely loser!

... I'm really sorry!

you don't go down to the playground any more?

You used to be down there all the time.
