The house has warmed after a while.
The house has been warming after a while.

Correct my mistakes, please.

Олег VVadded a comment 5 years ago

The house got warmed up after a while.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

Does this refer to the process or to the result of the heating?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Прогревался in this sentence sounds like it became warm in there, after being cold. It's just the repetitive action in the past, although technically it's the imperfective.

Андриолли 1added a comment 5 years ago

Неа. Он становился тёплым в процессе. Начали топить. Теплел, Теплел и нагрелся. (прогрелся)

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

OK, you know better.
(1) Дом прогревался медленно - дрова отсырели.
(2) Они топили печь, и дом прогревался спустя некоторое время.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

But you have спустя некоторое время, so that's about the result. Otherwise, you should've used дом НАЧИНАЛ прогреваться спустя некоторое время. However, you know your context, unlike me.))

Андриолли 1added a comment 5 years ago

Было сложно, потому что приходилось топить печь. Дом прогревался спустя некоторое время.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Вот именно. Они топили печь, и через некоторое время прогревался = становился тёплым.

Well, I can’t translate this because I just don’t get it.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

My understanding:
After they burned coal and/or wood in their stove, *it would become warm in the house after a (little) while.* (?)
