MORE ABOUT MEANTIME

What does meantime mean?

Meantime means the period of time between two events—between the current time and the time when something else happens.

This sense of the word is especially used in the phrase in the meantime, as in The power will come back on soon, so let’s just enjoy the quiet in the meantime. 

The word meanwhile can also be used as a noun to mean the same thing as meantime, but this is much less common.

Meanwhile is much more commonly used as an adverb meaning in or during the time between the current time and the time when something else happens, as in Our guests will arrive in about an hour—meanwhile, let’s get the food ready. Meanwhile can also mean at the same time, as in When I got to my apartment, I realized I had forgotten my key—meanwhile, everyone was already hiding inside for my surprise party. 

Meantime can also be used as an adverb in both of these ways, but it is much more commonly used as a noun.

Example: Our guests won’t arrive for another several hours, so I’m going to take a nap in the meantime.

Where does meantime come from?

The first records of meantime come from the 1300s. The mean in meantime is the sense of the word that means “occupying a middle position or an intermediate place.”

Meantime is often used in discussions that involve things happening or being done while waiting for something else to happen. It’s also commonly used in descriptions of events happening at the same time.

How is meantime used in real life?

Scientific definitions for meantime


Solar time as measured by the mean sun, resulting in equal 24-hour days throughout the year. If days were measured by the actual movement of the Sun, they would vary slightly in length at different times of the year due to differences in Earth’s orbital speed and other factors. Mean time is the basis for standard clock time throughout most of the world. See more at solar time universal time.

Времена английского глагола – это боль практически для всех, кто изучает язык. Но у нас для вас хорошие новости. Можно значительно упростить себе жизнь и научиться, наконец, ставить глагол в нужное время, только взглянув на предложение. Сделать это можно при помощи слов-маркеров. В английском языке их достаточно много – выучить все будет затруднительно, но здесь самое главное уловить общий принцип. Также вы можете встретить другое их обозначение: триггеры и слова-сигналы. Сегодня разберем маркеры каждого времени.

Такими помощниками могут быть отдельные слова-спутники, фразы и даже предложения.

Важно знать

Маркеры времени используются очень часто, но не всегда и не в каждом предложении – будьте внимательны.

Маркеры английских времен с примерами предложений

Пойдем от простого к более сложному: времена группы Simple, Continuous, Perfect.

Present Simple

Действие в Present Simple связано с общими фактами: «Земля вращается вокруг солнца», «У моего отца лысая голова», или с вещами, которые мы делаем регулярно, каждый день/неделю/год. Берем глагол как он есть (Verb 1), меняем только в случае использования 3-го лица (he/she/it), добавляя окончание «s»/«es».

Пример предложения:

I never have enough coffee. Мне всегда недостаточно кофе.

Слова маркеры Present Simple

always

всегда

often

часто

usually

обычно

sometimes

иногда

regularly

регулярно

seldom

изредка

from time to time

время от времени

rarely

редко

never

никогда

every day/week/year

каждый день/неделю/год

on Mondays/Sundays

по понедельникам

Future Simple

Время для обозначения будущего простого действия. Понадобится вспомогательный глагол «will» и Verb 1. Вы можете по старинке также употреблять «shall», когда говорите от первого лица (I/we).

Пример предложения:

I will/shall go to Texas next year. Я поеду в Техас в следующем году.

Слова-указатели времени Future Simple

tomorrow

завтра

the day after tomorrow

послезавтра

tonight

сегодня вечером

one of these days

на днях

next week/month/year

на следующей неделе/в след.месяце/году

in a minute/hour/day/year

через минуту/час/день/год

soon

скоро

later

позже

Present Continuous

Несложное настоящее длительное время, которое обозначает продолжительное действие. Берем вспомогательный глагол am/is/are, добавляем глагол и к нему окончание ing.

Пример предложения:

I am reading «Hobbit» by J.R.R.Tolkien in original now. Сейчас я читаю «Хоббита» Дж.Р.Р.Толкиена в оригинале.

Слова-маркеры Present Continuous

now

сейчас

at the moment

в данный момент

at present

в настоящее время

still

все еще

today

сегодня

nowadays

в наше время

Look!

Посмотри!

Listen!

Послушай!

Future Continuous

Поверьте, бывают в жизни ситуации, когда вам понадобится употребить длительное будущее время. На помощь: вспомогательные глаголы will be и глагол с -ing окончанием.

Пример предложения:

He will be flying to Dubai tomorrowat 9 o`clock. Завтра в 9 часов он будет лететь в Дубаи.

Слова-маркеры Future Continuous

at 7 o’clock

в 7 часов

in a week

через неделю

this time tomorrow

в это время завтра

meanwhile/meantime

тем временем

from … till/from … to

с … до …

all day long/for the whole day

весь день

all night

всю ночь

the whole morning

все утро

during that time

в течение этого времени

Present Perfect

Не давайте этому времени обмануть вас: оно имеет лишь небольшую связь с настоящим. Чаще всего речь идет о действии, которое уже закончилось к настоящему моменту. Используйте have/has вместе с формой глагола Verb 3.

Пример предложения:

My son has already seen «Transformers» for 37 times. Мой сын смотрел «Трансформеров» уже 37 раз.

Маркеры времени Present Perfect

ever

когда либо

never

никогда

always

всегда

since

с тех пор, как
