simple past vs. present perfect


영어를 공부하고 있으면 시제가 항상 날 괴롭힌다


특히 완료시제는 우리나라에 없는 것이다 보니 더 헷갈릴 때가 많고,


시제를 실수하지 않고 잘 쓰는 사람이 결국 영어를 잘 하는 사람이라는 생각을 하게 된다.



simple past: for experiences at a definite time in the past

present perfect: for experiences within a time period up to the present


과거 어느 확실한 시기에 일어난 일은 일반 과거시제를 사용하고,

과거부터 현재에 이르기까지 기간 안에서 경험한 일을 얘기할 땐 현재완료를 쓴다.


우리말로 해석할 땐 "~ 한 적이 있다.", "전부터 ~ 하고 있다." 등등으로 해석이 됨



I am a teacher. 나는 선생님이야. 

I have been a teacher.  선생님을 하고 있어. (전부터 선생님 일을 하고 있어)

I was a teacher. 난 선생님이었어. (지금은 아닐수도)



I live in Seoul. 나 서울 살아.

I have lived in Seoul. 서울에 살고 있어. 

I lived in Seoul. 나 서울 살았었어. (역시 지금은 아닐수도.)




1) Have you ever eaten snails?

Yes, I have. I tried them last month. 


달팽이 먹어본적 있어? (옛날부터 지금까지 달팽이를 먹어본 적이 있는지?)

먹어본 적 있어. 저번달에 먹었지. (지난달 = definite time in the past)


Did you like them? 

Yes, I did. They were delicious.


맘에 들었어? 

응. 맛있었어.



2) Have you ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant?

No, I haven't. But I ate at a Thai restaurant last night.


Did you go alone?

No, I went with some friends.

과거시제 쓰는법 


학원을 다니면서 영어 잘하는 사람들에 대해서 느낀것이 있다면


시제를 기가막히게, 정확하게 표현한다는 점이다. 


언어적인 재능이 있어서 영어 발음이 좋거나 그럴순 있지만, 


학원을 오래 다닌 사람들은 발음은 조금 안좋을 수 있어도 시제표현 등은 정말 훌륭함



과거시제는 생각보다 되게 많이 쓰인다


대부분 이야기 할 때 생각해 보면, 


어제 뭐 했는지, 오늘 무슨일이 있었는지, 점심에 뭘 먹었는지, 저번시간에 배운게 뭔지, 등등



Where were you born?

I was born in Korea.


Were you born at Seoul?

No, I wasn't. I was born in Gong-ju.


When did you move to Seoul?

I moved here ten years ago.
