One summer afternoon in New York in 1875, while his wife was preparing dinner, Mr Levi Gamin left his house to buy some tobacco. He never returned. Sixty years later in 1935, The New York Times printed a story about a man dressed in strange old fashioned clothes who had stepped in front of a car while crossing Times Square. He had died instantly.
The dead man was carrying no identification and there was nothing in his pocket except some old bank notes from the year 1875. The police had no idea who the man was or why he was wearing such strange clothes, until a police officer decided to check the missing persons file for 1875. It was then that the questions began.
Why had Mr. Gamin disappeared in 1875?
How suddenly turned up in Times Square in 1935? Where had he been for the past sixty years and why hadn't his appearance changed ? Had Mr Gamin really vanished into thin air or something unknown had taken him into another dimension?

Past Tense Simple arată o acțiune care s-a petrecut și s-a încheiat complet în trecut (e.g. Mr Levi Gamin left his house), iar Past Tense Continuous exprimă tot o acțiune finalizată în trecut, dar care are aspect progresiv (e.g. he was wearing such strange clothes).
Past Tense Simple se traduce în română prin perfect compus sau perfect simplu; Past Tense Continuous se traduce prin imperfect.
Past Perfect Tense (tradus prin „mai mult ca perfectul”) exprimă o acțiune petrecută înainte de o altă acțiune tot trecută (raport de anterioritate).
