contraste net

entre passé et présent

avec souvent

une idée d'habitude, de repère,

de répétition et de permanence

dans le passé

Rupture temporelle,

point de non-retour :

ce qui existait / ce qui était vrai

n'existe plus / ne l'est plus maintenant.

Ce qui était habituel,

ce qui arrivait souvent,

ce qui était toujours là

n'existe plus,

ce qui s'est passé

n'arrivera plus jamais,

le passé ne reviendra pas.

used + to + Base Verbale

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!

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

(habitude présente)

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!

How come

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

You used to be down there all the time.
