Sequence of events

5/21
Recursos

Narrar los hechos que sucedieron es muy importante para que puedas expresar el orden de los mismos, cómo la primera acción afectó la segunda o el tiempo exacto de ocurrencia de diferentes situaciones.

Expresando orden de ocurrencia de eventos

Para poder expresar correctamente el orden de ocurrencia de diferentes acciones, podemos hacer uso de dos estructuras gramaticales, dependiendo si los hechos se produjeron uno después del otro, o de manera simultánea.

Eventos secuenciales

Si un evento ocurrió después de otro, exprésate con la fórmula “Having + past participle” donde usualmente la primera cláusula sucedió antes que la cláusula principal de toda la oración.

Veamos algunos ejemplos: - Having recruited some volunteers, we started collecting the data. - Having written the first copy, we asked our manager to check it. - Having finalized the report, we presented it to our founders.

Eventos simultáneos

Si dos acciones sucedieron al mismo tiempo, exprésate utilizando la forma -ing de cualquier verbo en la primera cláusula, también conocido present participle.

Tal vez te resulte familiar la forma -ing de los verbos con el nombre de gerundios. Los gerundios son verbos que pueden emplearse como sustantivos, el present participle también son verbos terminados en -ing, pero que se usan como adjetivos o también como verbos.

Veamos algunos ejemplos: - Collecting the data samples, we realized that we were going to miss the deadline. - Presenting in front of our founders, I forgot what I was going to say. - Talking to our volunteers, we understood that data collection was a challenging task.

Diferencia entre having y present participle

Si aún no te ha quedado claro la diferencia en de estas dos tipos de expresiones, analicemos las siguientes dos oraciones y responde la pregunta ¿Qué sucedió primero?:

  • Having grown up in Seattle, Colombian culture was a big shock to me.
  • Growing up in Seattle, I didn’t see much Colombian culture.

En la primera oración, Jess creció en Seattle y, años después, al llegar al Colombia, tuvo un shock cultural, dado que provenía de una cultura totalmente distinta. En la segunda oración, Jess expresa que durante su infancia en Seattle, nunca aprendió nada sobre la cultura Colombiana.

Comprender cuándo utilizar having y cuándo utilizas el present participle te será de gran ayuda para expresar secuencias de eventos y utilizar verbos en su forma -ing de una manera diferente y más avanzada.

We studied two ways to show a sequence of events:

The first is when something happened as the consequence of a previous event.
The structure that we can use is Having + Past Participle, using it implies:

Examples:
● Having recruited some volunteers, we started collecting the data.
● Having written the first copy, we asked our manager to check it.

The second one is when we need to show things happening simultaneously.

SUMMARY:
A SEQUENCE of EVENTS could be shown by PRESENT PARTICIPLE and HAVING + PAST PARTICIPLE.
HAVING + PAST PARTICIPLE show two sequential events in the same sentence.
For example: These two sequential sentences ‘I collected the data then I analyzed the results’, we convert to one only sentence with two sequential events ‘Having collected the data, I analyzed the result’.
We use it as a more economical way of making sentences. The first thing in the sentence is usually the first thing that happens in a sequence.
PRESENT PARTICIPLE is essentially the VERB + ING. It’s used to show two things that happened simultaneously.
For example: Collecting the data samples, we realized that we were going to miss the deadline.
