C2 · NARRATIVE TENSES
Narrative Tense Shifts
İyi anlatıcılar tek zamanda kalmaz; zaman kaymalarıyla sahne, arka plan ve canlılık yaratır.
- Arka plan past continuous, ani olay past simple: I was walking home when someone grabbed my arm.
- Daha önceki olay past perfect: She realised she had left the door open.
- Canlılık için historic present: geçmiş olay şimdiki zamanla anlatılır: So I walk in and this guy just stares at me.
- Şaka/özet anlatımda present simple sık; resmî tarihsel anlatıda past perfect’le katman kurulur.
Kayma rastgele değildir: her geçiş odak ve zamansal katman değiştirir.
