The speaker as it were looks back on the pre-present to measure it . Nearly a year has gone by since then or to see how this period has been filled situationwise . What have you been doing How many times have you met him in the past week . Contain verb indicating the temporal relation of containment that holds between the time of the full situation and the situation time or between an Advtime time indicated by an adverbial like yesterday and a situation time or other binding time . The temporal relation in question may be one of strict coincidence or proper inclusion. Thus in At five o clock I was jogging the Adv-time contains the situation time in terms of coincidence and the time of the full situation is interpreted as including the punctual situation time. In I was there from two to four o clock the Adv-time indicated by a bounding bifunctional temporal adverbial coincides with the situation time and because it is bounded the time of the full situation also coincides with the situation time. In both these examples the Adv-time thus contains the situation time in the sense that the two coincide with each other in contrast in John left yesterday the Adv-time contains the situation time in terms of inclusion.
