Subject: Время! Можно ли здесь употребить Present Perfect? И почему? (поставила чисто интуитивно)Потом разные писатели начали дарить мне свои книги из любви и уважения ко мне. |
|
Нет, потому что у вас есть потом, т.е. предполагаются определенные действия в прошлом, а не одно действие, например He gave a book, wrote an essay. Then he realised ... Почему the different writers (the здесь не нужно), from love?. Больше бы контекста, нужно предложение переделать. |

| Then different writers started to give me the books for the love of me and out of respect for me. |
| various writers... |
| Не, плохо: не по-ангийски. Контекст. |
| .. as a token of love, respect.. |

Then different writers started to give me the books for the love of me and out of respect for me. One day I came home with a book, which Zola had given me. My wife was facing to a mirror. She was wearing a new dress. “Have you bought a dress?” - I asked. “No, I haven’t”, - She answered. – “Your friend has given it me”. “What a friend!” - I cried. “Who had given you so many books. Charles Dickens”. “It’s clear for me now, why we have had such bad dinners lately”. |

My wife was facing the mirror. She was wearing a new dress. ... “What friend?!” “The one who gave you so many books. Charles Dickens”. |

| Тот, который ПОДАРИЛ (а не дарит) тебе столько книг. |
| give -> gave |

| ой, сорри...я думала, тут надо Past Perfect - типа сначала он подарил книги, а потом подарил платье. :-) |

| т.е. в этом случае важен факт, а не законченность действия в прошлом? |
|
т.к. дарение книг было продолжительным процессом и возможно является еще незаконченным, можно было бы написать “The one who has been giving you so many books. Charles Dickens”. Я бы упростила: “The one who gave you so many books. Charles Dickens”. |

| О, как! Большое спасибо. |

(Then, посмотрите на предыдушее предложение, может лучше заменить другим словом) various writers started giving me books for they loved and respected me. One day I came home with a book, which Zola had given TO me. My wife was LOOKING INTO THE mirror. She was wearing a new dress. “You have bought a dress, haven't you?” I asked. |

Charles Dickens.” lately.” |
| Если время терпит, подождите - может кто-то из ностителей языка отредактирует. |

последнее предложение, IMO & if I get the idea right: Uh-uh, that explains why we've been having such bad dinners lately. |
