INTRODUCTION The manual was created for all the students of the university learning English language and it is based on the pedagogical principle: “simple – to- complex”. It can be used for the English learners of Pre-Intermediate level. Our manual consists of 2 units. The first unit (Grammar in Tests) contains the tests and is intended for written work, but the second unit (Situational Grammar) consists of a great number of dialogues and texts and is devoted to the development of oral speech. This manual is designed for students who are both beginners and for those who continue to learn English and want to improve their knowledge. At the end of the manual the authors included very helpful information. This information comprises very detailed Grammar References and the list of irregular verbs. The answer sheet is given for those students who will work individually. The main advantage of this manual is that it allows the students to work in class as well as individually thanks to the answer sheet given at the end of it. Developing this manual the authors tried to reach the following goals: the first one is to develop the profound understanding of general grammar, the second one is to enrich vocabulary, the third one is to develop the skills to translate given dialogues and texts and to speak English correctly.

A lot of other people are trying to do the same nowadays, but not many of them have done it as well as Carl. «When did he buy a computer?» I wondered. «We bought it for him eighteen months ago for his birthday», said Mr. Stokes. «We didn’t know what we were doing. Our son has changed. Eighteen months ago he hadn’t seen any computer. Now he doesn’t talk about anything else.

We worry about him,» said Mrs. Stokes. «He doesn’t have any other interests now. And he hasn’t done any work for his school exams.

You have to get a special two – year driving licence before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full licence always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to take the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school – a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lessons unless he’s got a teacher’s licence. Before you are allowed to have a full licence, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 2009 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you have passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like, provided you are fit. Britain’s oldest driver was a Norfolk man who drove in 1999 at the age of 100 years old. 130

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 motorists had to have a licence. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935.

In 1544 England started a war against France, and in 1545 French ships were sent across the Channel towards England. Some English ships went out from Portsmouth to meet them. One of these ships was the Mary Rose. It was carrying 91 guns and 700 men – twice as many as it was possible. It went quickly to the bottom of the sea even before it was attacked by the French. About 650 men died. This terrible accident was seen by the King of England himself. The next month an attempt was made to raise the Mary Rose, but it failed. The ship was forgotten for hundreds of years. In the 1970s new plans were made to raise the ship. Thousands of objects were brought from the ship by divers. Then, on the 1-st of October, 1982, the ship was lifted out of the sea. Many people saw the raising of the ship on television. Finally the Mary Rose was taken into Portsmouth dock 437 years after she had sunk. 134

Text 38. The Rich Lady and the Poor Beggar. A wealthy lady lived in a hotel in New York that overlooked the Park. One day as she was looking out of the window she saw a very poor man dressed in rags.

At last while she was driving her car, she told the chauffeur to stop by the seat where the man was sitting. She got out and spoke to him and asked him why he was looking at the window. «Lady,» he said, «I sit on this seat every day and I sleep on this seat every night and all the time I think that someday I will sleep in that hotel.» The Lady said, «I will make your dream come true; tonight you will sleep in the best room of the hotel.» The next morning she was sitting and having breakfast. Then suddenly she saw the man and called him to come to her table. She said, «How did you sleep?» «Lady,» he said, «my seat in the park was better.» «Surely not,» said the lady. «Yes,» he said, «you see, I slept on the seat every night; but every night I was dreaming about a soft warm bed in the hotel. But all last night while I was sleeping I was dreaming about my cold hard seat. So I will go back to my seat in the park tonight.» Text 39. Poor Old Gentleman. An old gentleman was walking slowly along a street one day when he saw a little boy who was trying to reach a door-bell which was too high for him. He was a kind-hearted old man. He stopped 135

and said, «I will ring the bell for you» and then he rang the bell so hard that it could be heard all over the house. The little boy looked up at him and said, «Now we will run away. Come on.», and before the old gentleman understood what was happening, the naughty boy ran round the corner of the street, leaving the man to explain to the angry owner of the house why he had rung the bell. Text 40. The Duke and the Farmer. The Duke of Wellington owned a large estate in Berkshire. Berkshire is a very beautiful part of England. The Duke wanted to buy the farm surrounded by fields.

Try to buy his farm for me.» Some weeks later the agent came to see the Duke. «I have bought the farm for you», he said. «How much did you pay?» asked the Duke. «I got it for $ 3.000,» said the agent, «and it was a great bargain. The farm is worth $ 4.000.» «Then why could you get it for $ 3.000?» asked the Duke. «Because Farmer Jackson is in difficulties and needed money immediately», said the agent. «Go at once to Farmer Jackson’, said the Duke, «and give him the other $ 1.000. I don’t want any bargain that was gained because a man was in difficulties». Text 41. The Joke Sir William Thompson was very deaf, but he didn’t like people to know it.

GRAMMAR REFERENCES Существительное (The Noun) (GR 1) Существительные в английском языке, как и в русском языке, обозначают предметы и вещества (a table – стол; a house – дом; water – вода), живые существа (a girl – девочка; a cat – кошка), явления и отвлеченные понятия (rain – дождь; peace – мир; beauty – красота; work – работа; darkness – темнота). Существительные в английском языке имеют ряд свойств, которые отличают их от существительных в русском языке. Основные из них следующие: 1. Перед существительными обычно ставятся особые служебные слова – артикли a, an, the: I am a student. Open the door, please.

Я студент. Откройте дверь, пожалуйста.

2. Большинство существительных не изменяются по падежам, и только одушевленные существительные имеют два падежа: общий (a boy, boys) и притяжательный (boy's, boys'): What is the boy's name? Where are the girls' hats?

Как зовут мальчика? Где шляпы девочек?

3. Существительные могут употребляться в качестве беспредложного определения к другим существительным. В этом случае они часто соответствуют по значению прилагательным в русском языке: You must wear your school uniform. Вы должны носить школьную форму. Which do you like best: winter or summer sports? Какие виды спорта вы любите больше: зимние или летние? 139

Множественное число имен существительных (Plural of Nouns) Множественное число имен существительных в английском языке образуется путем прибавления окончания -s, например: а реn [ə 'реn] ручка a desk [ə 'desk] парта a boy [ə 'bɔi] мальчик

pens [penz] ручки desks [desks] парты boys [bɔiz] мальчики

Существительные, оканчивающиеся на -s, -ch, -х, -sh, -ss, -о, во множественном числе принимают окончание -es, например: а bush [ə 'bu∫l куст a glass [ə 'glα:s] стакан a dress [ə 'dres] платье a box [ə 'bɔks] коробка a match [ə 'mæt∫] матч a hero [ə 'hiərou] герой

bushes ['bu∫iz] кусты glasses ['glα:siz] стаканы dresses ['dresiz] платья boxes ['bɔksiz] коробки matches ['mæt∫iz] матчи heroes ['hiərouz] герои

Существительные, оканчивающиеся на -f, -fe, обычно меняют во множественном числе -f, -fe на -v и принимают окончание -es, например: a knife [ə 'naif] нож a wolf [ə 'wulf] волк

knives [naivz] ножи wolves [wulvz] волки

Существительные, оканчивающиеся на -у с предшествующей согласной, меняют во множественном числе букву у на i и принимают окончание -es, например: a factory [ə'fæktər i] завод; фабрика factories ['fæktər iz] заводы; фабрики Некоторые существительные образуют множественное число путем изменения корневой гласной буквы, не принимая никаких окончаний, например: 140

a man [ə'mæn] мужчина a woman [ə'wumən] женщина a tooth [ə'tu: θ] зуб a foot [ə'fut] ступня, нога

men [men] мужчины women ['wi mi n] женщины teeth [ti: θ] зубы feet [fi:t] ступни, ноги

Существительные в английском языке имеют только два падежа: общий падеж (the Common Case) и притяжательный падеж (the Possessive Case). Притяжательный падеж выражает принадлежность и таким образом соответствует в русском языке родительному падежу. В форме притяжательного падежа употребляются в основном существительные, обозначающие одушевленные предметы. Притяжательный падеж существительных в единственном числе образуется прибавлением апострофа и буквы s (-'s) к форме существительного в общем падеже. Окончание -'s произносится [s] после глухих согласных, [z] после звонких согласных и гласных и [Iz] после шипящих и свистящих, т.е. так же, как и окончание -s при образовании множественного числа существительных.

141

Множественное число Притяжательный падеж Общий падеж horses ['hɔ:siz] лошади horses' races ['hɔ:siz 'reisiz] скачки лошадей dogs [dɔgz] собаки dogs' masters [dɔgz' 'mα:stəz] хозяева собак Существительные, не имеющие окончания -(e)s во множественном числе, образуют притяжательный падеж множественного числа так же, как существительные в единственном числе – путем прибавления окончания -s', например: children's literature ['t∫ildrənz 'litərit∫ə] детская литература. Артикль (The Article) (GR 2) В английском языке существует два артикля: неопределенный а (аn) и определенный the. Неопределенный артикль а (аn) произошел от числительного one – «один» и поэтому употребляется только с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе. 142

Неопределенный артикль имеет две формы: 1) а, стоящую перед существительными, начинающимися с согласного звука или имеющими впереди себя определение, начинающееся с согласного звука, например: a book [ə'buk] книга, a big apple [ə big 'æpl] большое яблоко; 2) an, стоящую перед существительными, начинающимися с гласного звука или имеющими впереди себя определение, начинающееся с гласного звука, например: an egg [ən 'еg] яйцо, an old man [ən 'ould 'mæn] старик. Неопределенный артикль на русский язык не переводится и передает лишь указание на принадлежность предмета к какомулибо классу однородных предметов. Например: a book значит какая-то, одна из, любая, какая-нибудь книга. Если мы говорим Give me a book ['gIv mi: ə 'buk], то мы хотим подчеркнуть, что нам нужна книга, а не тетрадь, ручка, карандаш и т. д. Определенный артикль происходит от указательного местоимения this [ðis] «этот» и имеет одну форму the, которая произносится [ðə] перед существительными, начинающимися с согласного звука, например: the room [ðə 'rum] (эта) комната, the big apple [ðə 'big 'æр1] (это) большое яблоко, и [ði:] перед существительными, начинающимися с гласного звука, или перед определением, начинающимся с гласного звука, например: the evening [ði:'i:vniŋ] (этот) вечер, the old house [ði:'ould 'haus] (этот) старый дом. Определенный артикль может употребляться как с исчисляемыми, так и с неисчисляемыми существительными в единственном и множественном числе. Определенный артикль употребляется, когда нужно выделить какой-либо предмет, лицо или явление из класса ему подобных, например: Give me the book ['giv mi: ðə 'buk]. Дайте мне эту книгу (ту, которая лежит на столе). Употребление неопределенного артикля Неопределенный артикль употребляется: 1) с существительным – именным членом составного сказуемого: Mike is a student.

Миша студент. 143

2) с существительным-подлежащим после оборота there is (there was, there will be): There's a good library in our school. В нашей школе есть хорошая библиотека. 3) с дополнением после глагола have: У меня есть сестра.

I have a sister.

Употребление определенного артикля с исчисляемыми существительными Определенный артикль употребляется, когда собеседникам (или пишущему и читателю) известно из окружающей обстановки (ситуации), предшествующего опыта или словесного окружения (контекста), о каком или каких именно предметах (лицах, явлениях) идет речь. 1. Определенный артикль обычно употребляется, когда перед существительным стоит: а) порядковое числительное: Gagarin was the first man to fly into space. Гагарин был первым человеком, который полетел в космос. б) прилагательное в превосходной степени: This is the shortest way to the town. Это кратчайший путь к городу. Jack is the best runner in our school. Джек – лучший бегун в нашей школе. в) одно из прилагательных – following, last, next, same: Copy the following sentences. Спишите следующие предложения. 144

You've made the same mistake. Вы сделали ту же самую ошибку. The next stop is ours. Следующая остановка наша. Примечание: Существительные с прилагательными next и last употребляются без артикля в сочетаниях next door (рядом), next week (на будущей неделе), next month, next summer, next year, next Sunday (в будущее воскресенье), next time (в следующий раз), last week (на прошлой неделе), last month, last year, last Saturday и т. п.: Tom lives next door to me. Том живет рядом со мной. I'll be on duty next week. Я буду дежурить на следующей неделе. I was there last night. Я был там вчера. 2. Определенный артикль употребляется, когда за существительным следует определение: Неге is the book I bought yesterday. Вот книга, которую я вчера купил. Can you show me the way to the station? Вы можете мне показать дорогу на станцию? The trees planted by us have taken root. Деревья, посаженные нами, прижились. This is the house where I was born. Вот дом, где я родился. 3. Определенный артикль употребляется в тех случаях, когда из предшествующего контекста ясно, о каком предмете 145

(лице, явлении) или каких предметах (лицах, явлениях) идет речь: We've received a letter from an English schoolgirl. The girl writes in the letter that she wants to correspond with Russian schoolchildren. Petrov mis-spelt a word in his sentence. Who has noticed the mistake? В данных примерах из первых предложений ясно, о каких именно предметах (лицах, явлениях) идет речь (the letter, the girl, the mistake). 4. Определенный артикль употребляется с существительными, обозначающими предметы, единственные в своем роде: the sun, the moon, the earth, the ground, the world, the sky, the air и некоторые другие: Our scientists were the first to photograph the far side of the Moon. Наши ученые были первыми, кто сфотографировал обратную сторону Луны. Our sportsmaen are among the best in the world. Наши спортсмены одни из лучших в мире. 5. Определенный артикль может употребляться с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, не выделяя предмет из ряда ему подобных, а обозначая весь класс однородных предметов: The rose is a beautiful flower. Роза – красивый цветок. The dog is the friend of man. Собака – друг человека. Отсутствие артиклей перед исчисляемыми существительными 146

Артикли не употребляются с исчисляемыми существительными в следующих случаях: если существительное является обращением: Дети, тише.

Children, be quiet!

перед словами Father, Mother в высказываниях членов семьи: Ann, hasn't Father come yet?

Аня, папа еще не пришел?

3) перед названиями дней недели, месяцев и времен года: Весна наконец пришла. Июль – летний месяц.

Spring has come at last! July is a summer month.

We do not go to school on Sunday. Мы не ходим в школу в воскресенье. 4) перед существительными breakfast, dinner, lunch, supper: Я завтракаю в семь часов. Вы останетесь обедать?

I have breakfast at seven. Will you stay to dinner?

Употребление артиклей с неисчисляемыми существительными Неисчисляемые существительные (отвлеченные и вещественные) употребляются, как правило, без артиклей: Я люблю музыку.

I like music.

Mathematics and physics are my favourite subjects. Математика и физика – мои любимые предметы. Give me a glass of water, please Дайте мне стакан воды, пожалуйста.. Мы боремся за мир.

We struggle for peace. 147

Если отвлечённые и вещественные существительные имеют при себе ограничительные определения или уточняются ситуацией, они употребляются с определённым артиклем: Pass me the bread, please.

Передайте мне хлеб, пожалуйста.

Артикли с именами собственными Имена собственные употребляются, как правило, без артиклей: Zaure, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Australia, Gogol Street: Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan. Астана – столица Казахстана. I live in Gogol Street.

Я живу на улице Гоголя.

С определённым артиклем употребляются следующие имена собственные: названия морей, океанов, рек, каналов, проливов, горных цепей, пустынь, групп островов: the Caspian Sea, the Pacific Ocean, the Ili, the Lena, the Beringov Channel, the Zaili Alatau, the Karakum: Almaty is situated in the vicinity of the Zaili Alatau. Алматы расположен в предгорьях Заилийского Ала-Тау. Названия сторон света: the North, the South, the West, the East: They live somewhere in the North. Они живут где-то на севере. Фамилии во мнoжественном числе для обозначения всей (всех членов) семьи: Next year the Askarovs will go to Siberia. В следующем году Аскаровы поедут в Сибирь. 148

Перед названиями ряда стран и территорий: The USA, the United Kingdom, the Caucasus, the Ukraine, the Crimea Прилагательное (The Adjective) (GR 3) В английском языке, как и в русском, прилагательные обозначают признаки, качества или свойства предметов. По значению прилагательные делятся на две группы: качественные и относительные. Качественные прилагательные обозначают признаки и качества предметов, следовательно, имеют степени сравнения. Степени сравнения имён прилагательных и наречеий Односложные и двусложные прилагательные образуют степени сравнения путём прибавления суффиксов: -er в сравнительной степени, -est в превосходной степени. Положительная степень short – корткий

Сравнительная степень shorter – короче

big – большой

bigger – больше

long – длинный

longer – длиньше

easy – лёгкий

easier – легче

Превосходная степень shortest – самый короткий biggest – самый большой longest – самый длинный easiest – самый лёгкий

При образовании простых форм сравнительной и превосходной степеней необходимо соблюдать следующие правила: 1) удваивать в написании конечную согласную в сравнительной и превосходной степенях односложных прилагательных, оканчивающихся на одну согласную с предшествующим кратким гласным звуком: 149

hot – hotter – hottest big – bigger – biggest 2) изменять букву у на i в сравнительной и превосходной степенях прилагательных, оканчивающихся на -у с предшествующей согласной: lazy – lazier – laziest happy – happier – happiest 3) опускать немое e в сравнительной и превосходной степенях: large – larger – largest simple – simpler – simplest Прилагательные в превосходной времени всегда употребляются с артиклам – the. Некоторые прилагательные (наречия) образуют формы степеней сравнения от других корней: good хороший, well хорошо better ['betə] лучше, best [best] самый лучший, наилучший, лучше всего bad плохой , badly плохо worse[wə:s] хуже, worst [wə:st] самый худший, наихудший, хуже всего many много, much много more[ mɔ:] больше, most[mou:st] наибольший, больше всего little маленький, мало less [les] меньше, least [li:st] наименьший, меньше всего Прилагательные, состоящие более чем из двух слогов, образуют степени сравнения путем постановки перед ними слов mоге [mɔ:] (в сравнительной степени) и most [moust] (в превос ходной степени). 150

Положительная степень interesting интересный beautiful красивый

Сравнительная степень

Превосходная степень

more interesting более интересный more beautiful более красивый

most interesting самый интересный most beautiful самый красивый

Русскому обороту «такой же ... как» соответствует английский оборот as ... as, обороту «не такой ... как» – оборот not so ... as, оборотам «более ... чем», «менее .. чем» – конструкция с than: This flower is as beautiful as that one. Этот цветок такой же красивый, как и тот. (Слово one заменяет слово «цветок».) This story is not so interesting as that one. Этот рассказ не такой интересный, как тот (рассказ). This exercise is easier than that one. Это упражнение легче, чем то (упражнение). Относительные прилагательные обозначают признаки и качества предметов через отношение к другим предметам, например: golden hair золотистые волосы, political economy политическая экономия. В значении относительных прилагательных в английском языке выступают существительные-определители: a school library a gold watch the autumn sky a London street

школьная библиотека золотые часы осеннее небо лондонская улица

Числительные (Numerals) (GR 4) В английском языке, как и в русском, различаются количественные числительные (Cardinal Numerals) и порядковые (Ordinal Numerals). 151

Количественные числительные обозначают число предметов и отвечают на вопрос: How many? (Сколько?) – I have two pens and three pencils. Порядковые числительные обозначают порядок при счете и отвечают на вопрос: Which? (Который по порядку?) The school year begins on the first of September. July the twenty-second is my mother's birthday. Образование количественных и порядковых числительных 1. Присоединяя суффикс -teen к соответствующим простым числительным, можно образовать числительные от 13 (thirteen) до 19 (nineteen): four + teen = fourteen six + teen = sixteen seven + teen = seventeen Примечание: Числительные thirteen и fifteen имеют изменения в основе (сравните: three, five). 2. Суффикс -ty, присоединяясь к простым числительным, образует десятки: от 20 (twenty) до 90 (ninety): seven + ty = seventy six + ty = sixty nine + ty = ninety Примечание: Числительные twenty, thirty и fifty имеют изменения в основе (сравните: two, three, five), а в числительном forty выпадает буква u. 152

В составных числительных единицы непосредственно присоединяются к десяткам и пишутся через дефис, а между десятками и сотнями стоит союз and: thirty-seven, eight hundred and fifty-four. Перед числительными hundred, thousand, million ставится неопределенный артикль а или числительное one; a (one) hundred, a (one) thousand, a (one) million. 5. Числительные hundred, thousand и million не принимают окончания -s, когда перед ними стоят числительные two, three, four и т. д.: two hundred, three thousand, four million. Hundred, thousand и million могут, однако, принимать окончание -s, когда они выражают неопределенное количество сотен, тысяч, миллионов. В этом случае они превращаются в существительные и после них употребляется существительное с предлогом of: Hundreds of students were present at the meeting. Сотни студентов присутствовали на собрании. Thousands of people met the Russian President. Тысячи людей встречали президента России. 6. Все порядковые числительные получают артикль – the: the first, the sixteenth. Порядковые числительные, кроме first, second, third, образуются от соответствующих количественных числительных путем прибавления суффикса -th или -eth. Суффикс -eth прибавляется к числительным, оканчивающимся на -ty, причем буква у при этом заменяется на i: thirty – thirtieth, sixty – sixtieth, etc. В остальных случаях прибавляется суффикс -th: six – sixth, seven – seventh, hundred – hundredth, etc. Составные порядковые числительные образуются от соответствующих количественных числительных путем замены последнего количественного числительного порядковым: twentyone – twenty-first, thirty-seven – thirty-seventh. 153

Местоимение (The Pronoun) (GR 5) В английском языке местоимения по своему значению делятся на 9 групп. Каждая группа местоимений имеет свои осо154

бенности, как по значению, так и по синтаксическим и морфологическим функциям. Ниже будут рассматриваться лишь те группы местоимений, которые встречаются в данном учебнике. Личные местоимения (Personal Pronouns) Единственное число Множественное число 1-е лицо I [ai] я we [wi:] мы 2-е лицо you [ju:] ты you [ju:] вы 3-е лицо he [hi:] он they [ðei] они she [∫i:] она it [it] он, она, оно (о неодушевленных предметах и животных) 1. Личное местоимение I всегда пишется с заглавной буквы. В современном английском языке имеется только одно личное местоимение для 2-го лица единственного и множественного числа – you, которое пишется с маленькой буквы. На русский язык you переводится «вы» и «ты» в зависимости от контекста. Личные местоимения имеют только два падежа: именительный и объектный. Объектный падеж личных местоимений переводится на русский язык одним из косвенных падежей. Именительный падеж I you he she it we you they

Объектный падеж me [mi:] you [ju:] him [hi m] her [hə:] its [its] us [∧s] you [ju:] them [ðem]

155

Притяжательные местоимения (Possessive Pronouns) Притяжательные местоимения выражают принадлежность. Каждое личное местоимение имеет соответствующее притяжательное местоимение. Существуют две формы притяжательных местоимений: первая форма (Conjoint form), определяющая существительное, и вторая форма (Absolute form), заменяющая существительное. Притяжательные местоимения первой формы Единственное число Множественное число 1-е лицо my [mai] мой our [аuə] наш 2-е лицо your [jɔ:] твой your [jɔ:] ваш 3-е лицо his [hiz] его their [ðεə] их her [hə:] ее its [its] его, ее (для неодушевленных предметов) Притяжательные местоимения второй формы Единственное число 1-е лицо mine [mai n] 2-е лицо yours [jɔ:z] 3-е лицо his [hiz] hers [hə:z] its [its]

Множественное число ours [auəz] yours [jɔ:z] theirs [ðεəz]

Притяжательное местоимение первой формы в предложении имеет функцию прилагательного – определения к существительному: Please give me my pen. Пожалуйста, дайте мне мою ручку. His story is too long. Его рассказ слишком длинен. 156

Don't take this chair, its leg is broken. He берите этот стул, его ножка сломана. I have not seen their wall newspaper. Я не видел их стенной газеты. Притяжательные местоимения второй формы в предложении заменяют существительные в функции подлежащего, части составного сказуемого и дополнения: My room is large, yours is larger and hers is the largest. Моя комната большая, ваша – больше, а ее – самая большая. Whose school did he visit? He visited ours. Какую школу он посещал? Он посещал нашу. Whose book is it? It is mine. Чья это книга? Моя. Возвратные и усилительные местоимения (Reflexive and Emphatic Pronouns) Возвратные местоимения образуются путем прибавления окончания -self к личным или притяжательным местоимениям единственного числа и окончания -selves к личным или притяжательным местоимениям множественного числа. Возвратным местоимениям в русском языке соответствует частица –ся (-сь) в возврат-ных глаголах и местоимение себя, себе. Единственное число 1-е лицо myself [mai'self] 2-е лицо yourself [jɔ:'self] 3-е лицо himself [him'self] herself [hə:'self] itself [it'self]

Множественное число ourselves [auə'selvz] yourselves [jɔ:'selvz] themselves [ðem'selvz]

157

Я оделся.

I dressed myself. He washes himself with cold water. Он умывается холодной водой.

Она сказала себе.

She said to herself. I myself saw the man. Я сам видел этого человека.

Местоимения many, much, (a) few, (a) little В английском языке существует группа неопределенных местоимений: many, much, few, a few, little, a little. Неопределенные местоимения many (много, многие), few (мало), a few (немного, немногие, несколько), much (много), little (мало), a little (немного, немножко), выражающие неопределенное количество, различаются в своем употреблении. Местоимения many, few, a few определяют или заменяют исчисляемые существительные во множественном числе. Эти местоимения отвечают на вопрос: How many? (Сколько?) She bought many pencils for her son. Она купила много карандашей сыну. Few students were in the room. В комнате было мало студентов. I saw a few buses in the village. В поселке я увидел несколько автобусов. Местоимения much, little, a little определяют или заменяют неисчисляемые существительные (имеющие только единственное число). Эти местоимения отвечают на вопрос: How much? (Сколько?) I don't like to eat much bread. Я не люблю есть много хлеба. 158

My brother puts little sugar in his tea. Мой брат кладет мало сахара в чай. Pass me a little fish, please. Передайте мне, пожалуйста, немного рыбы. Слова much, little, a little могут относиться не только к существительным, но также к глаголу, причастию и прилагательному и в этом случае имеют значение наречий. Ann writes not so much. Аня пишет не очень много. He looked a little tired. Он выглядел немного усталым. Слова a few, a little имеют положительное значение, обозначая наличие небольшого количества, в то время как few и little подчеркивают недостаточность количества, т.е. имеют отрицательное значение. The student has few English books. У этого студента мало английских книг. This student has a few English books. У этого студента есть несколько английских книг. Неопределенные местоимения (Indefinite Pronouns) Неопределенные местоимения some, any обозначают неопределенное количество какого-либо вещества или предметов Они обычно являются определениями перед существительным (артикль в этом лучае уже не употребляется) и переводятся на русский язык – несколькоб, какой-нибудь. Местоимение some употребляется в утвердительных предложениях: 159

Give me some book to read. – Дайте мне почитать какую-нибудь книгу. There are some English books on the shelf. – На полке лежит несколько английских книг. There is some bread on the plate. – На тарелке лежит хлеб. Give me some paper. – Дайте мне бумаги. Местоимение any употребляется в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях: Are there any English books in your library? – Есть ли какие-нибудь иностранные книги в вашей библиотеке? Is there any chalk in the box? – В коробке есть мел? There is not any table in the room. – В комнате нет стола. В отрицательных предложениях может употребляется отрицательное местоимение no или not any: There is no lamp on the table. There is not any lamp on the table. Оба предложениея переводятся следующим образом: На столе нет (никакой) лампы. Местоимения some, any, no помимо самостоятельного употребления могут сочетаться со словами body, one, thing, where (как и местоимение every). Эти производные местоимения употребляются по тем же правилам, что и some, any, no. Somebody someone something somewhere

– anybody – anyone – any thing – anywhere

– not anybody (nobody) – no one – not anything (nothing) – not anywhere (nowhere) 160

I want to tell you something. I do not want to tell you anything. He told me nothing. Do you want to tell me anything? Местоимение any может употребляться в утвердительном предложении со значением «любой, всякий»; соответственно меняется значение и его производных. You may take any book you like. – Ты можешь взять любую книгу, какую захочешь. Anybody can show you the way there. – Кто угодно (любой) может показать тебе туда дорогу. I am ready to go anywhere. – Я готов ехать куда угодно. You may come at any time. – Вы можете прийти в любое время. Местоимения somebody, anybody, nobody не употребляются с предлогом of (из). В этом случае заменителями служат some, any, one, none: some of the, any of you, one of us, none of us: Which of you likes to play chess? – None of us does. Глагол (The Verb) Времена группы Indefinite (Indefinite (Simple) Tenses) (GR 6) Все времена группы Indefinite употребляются для выражения факта совершения действия, а также для выражения обычных, регулярно повторяющихся действий в настоящем, прошедшем и будущем. Настоящее неопределенное время (The Present Indefinite (Simple) Tense) 161

Настоящее неопределенное время (Present Indefinite (Simple)) образуется от основной формы глагола (инфинитива спрягаемого глагола без частицы to) для всех лиц, кроме 3-го лица единственного числа. Для образования 3-го лица единственного числа к основной форме глагола прибавляется окончание -(e)s. Ниже приводим спряжение глагола write в утвердительной форме: I write. You write. He (she, it) writes.

We write. You write. They write.

Окончание -s произносится как звук [s] после глухих согласных и как звук [z] после звонких согласных и гласных: Не works. [hi: 'wə:ks] Не sees. [hi: 'si:z] He learns. [hi: 'lə:nz] Порядок слов в утвердительном предложении Подлежащее I

Сказуемое speak

Остальная часть предложения English every day.

Вопросительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола do (does – в 3-м лице единственного числа), который ставится перед подлежащим, за ним следует подлежащее и спрягаемый глагол в основной форме. Если в предложении имеется вопросительное слово, то оно ставится в самом начале предложения. Порядок слов в вопросительном предложении Вопросительное Вспомогательный Подлежащее Смысловой слово глагол глагол Where

does do

she you

162

live work

Остальная часть предложения in summer? in the morning?

Отрицательная форма образуется из утвердительной путем постановки вспомогательного глагола do (does) и отрицания not перед спрягаемым глаголом в основной форме, например: Не does not go to school on Sundays. Он не ходит в школу по воскресеньям. Порядок слов в отрицательном предложении подлежащее We

Сказуемое вспомогаотрицание тельный глагол do not

Остальная часть смысловой предложения глагол go to the cinema every day.

Примечание: Present Indefinite (Simple) употребляется также для выражения будущего действия в придаточных обстоятельственных предложениях времени и условия: If you study English hard, you will learn it. Если вы будете заниматься английским языком упорно, вы выучите его. When we go to the theatre, I shall meet you at the bus stop. Когда мы пойдем в театр, я встречу тебя у автобусной остановки. Прошедшее неопределенное время (The Past Indefinite (Simple)Tense) (GR 7) В английском языке все глаголы в зависимости от способа образования времени Past Indefinite (Simple) делятся на две группы: правильные глаголы и неправильные. Формы Past Indefinite (Simple) глаголов, которые образуются не по правилу, приводятся в таблице неправильных глаголовь. Все правильные глаголы образуют Past Indefinite (Simple) путем добавления 163

окончания -ed к основной форме спрягаемого глагола. Это окончание произносится как звук [d], если оно следует за звонким согласным и гласным, как [t], если оно следует за глухим согласным, и как [id], если основа спрягаемого глагола оканчивается на звуки [t] и [d]: ask live count decide

[α:sk] [liv] [kaunt] [di'said]

asked lived counted decided

[α:skt] [livd] ['kauntid] [di'saidid]

Глаголы в Past Indefinite (Simple) ни по лицам, ни по числам не изменяются. Отрицательная и вопросительная формы в Past Indefinite (Simple) строятся по тому же принципу, что и в Present Indefinite (Simple). Однако надо помнить, что вспомогательный глагол в Past Indefinite (Simple) имеет форму did, например: Did Ann go to the park yesterday? Аня ходила в парк вчера? We did not see the film yesterday. Мы не видели этот фильм вчера. Рекомендуем запомнить наиболее распространенные обстоятельства времени, употребляемые с глаголами в Past Simple (Indefinite): yesterday at that time the day before yesterday last week (month, year) two days ago

вчера в то время позавчера на прошлой неделе (в прошлом месяце, году) два дня тому назад

Глагол to be имеет формы прошедшего времени was – для ед. ч., и were – для мн. ч. 164

We were in Paris last year. Were you in Pris last year? We weren’t in Paris last year. Глагол to have имеет одну форму прошедшего времени had. They had a good knowledge of English. Had they (Did they have) a good knowledge of English? They hadn’t (didn’t have) a good knowledge of English. Будущее неопределенное время (The Future Simple (Indefinite)Tense) (GR 8) Будущее неопределенное время (Future Simple (Indefinite)) образуется из вспомогательных глаголов shall и will и основной формы спрягаемого глагола. Вспомогательный глагол shall употребляется в 1-м лице единственного и множественного числа, а в остальных лицах употребляется will: I shall write. You will write. He (she, it) will write.

We shall write. You will write. They will write.

Вопросительная форма строится путем постановки вспомогательного глагола shall или will перед подлежащим, например: Will you go to the cinema tomorrow? Ты пойдешь в кино завтра? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола shall или will, например: I shall not gо to the cinema tomorrow. Я не пойду в кино завтра.

165

Времена группы Continuous (Progressive) (Continuous (Progressive)Tenses) Настоящее продолженное время (The Present Continuous (Progressive) Tense) (GR 9) Present Continuous (Progressive) образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в настоящем времени (am, is, are) и причастия настоящего времени смыслового глагола: I am reading. Не is reading. We are reading. Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to be (am, is, are) перед подлежащим, например: Am I reading? Is he reading? Are they reading? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола, например: I am not reading. Не is not reading. We are not reading. Present Continuous (Progressive) употребляется для выражения действия, происходящего в данный момент настоящего времени: I am speaking now. The boy is running.

Я разговариваю сейчас. Мальчик бежит.

They are doing their laboratory work. Они делают лабораторную работу. 166

Прошедшее длительное время (The Past Continuous (Progressive) Tense) (GR 10) Past Continuous (Progressive) образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в прошедшем времени (was, were) в сочетании с причастием настоящего времени смыслового глагола: I was speaking.

They were speaking.

Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to be (was, were) перед подлежащим, например: Was I speaking? Were they speaking? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола, например: I was not speaking. They were not speaking. Past Continuous (Progressive) употребляется: 1) когда точно указано время (или отрезок времени) совершения действия в прошлом: I was writing a letter at 8 o'clock yesterday. Я писал письмо в 8 часов вчера вечером. 2) когда совершено два действия в прошлом и одно из них имеет продолженную форму (Past Continuous (Progressive)), а другое – законченную форму (Past Simple (Indefinite)): Pete was going to school when he met his friend. Петя шел в школу, когда он встретил своего друга. 167

(Петя шел в школу до встречи с другом и после, поэтому это действие pассматривается как длительное и выражается глаголом в Past Continuous (Progressive)) She was reading when her mother entered the room. Она читала, когда вошла мама. (Она читала до прихода мамы в течение какого-то времени, поэтому это действие рассматривается как длительное и выражается глаголом в Past Continuous (Progressive). Времена группы Perfect (Perfect Tenses) Настоящее совершенное время (The Present Perfect Tense) (GR 11) Present Perfect образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to have в настоящем времени (have, has) и причастия прошедшего времени смыслового глагола: I (we, you, they) have worked. He (she, it) has worked. Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to have перед подлежащим, например: Have I worked? Has he worked? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола, например: I have not worked. Не has not worked. Present Perfect употребляется для выражения закончившегося действия, когда время совершения его указывается неопреде168

ленно, а результат действия налицо в настоящий момент. (В тех случаях, когда время совершения действия в прошлом указывается определенно, употребляется Past Indefinite (Simple). Present Perfect чаще всего переводится на русский язык глаголами совершенного вида в прошедшем времени: I have written a letter. Я написал письмо. (Письмо написано, но не сказано, когда оно написано, поэтому употребляем Present Perfect.) Мы купили телевизор. We have bought a TV set. (Телевизор куплен. Он в комнате. Нас интересует результат в настоящем, а время совершения действия не указано.) Pete has broken his pencil. Петя сломал карандаш. (Результат действия налицо: карандаш сломан и им писать нельзя. Время совершения действия не указано.) Present Perfect часто употребляется с наречиями неопределенного времени, которые ставятся между вспомогательным глаголом и причастием прошедшего времени спрягаемого глагола: Ann has just come in. Аня только что вошла. We have already seen this film. Мы уже видели (посмотрели) этот фильм. Наиболее часто употребляемые наречия неопределенного времени: ever never

[ 'evə] когда-либо ['nevə] никогда 169

just already (not) yet

[dʒ∧st] только что [ɔ:l'redi] уже [(nɔt) jet] еще (не)

Прошедшее совершенное время (The Past Perfect Tense) (GR 12) Past Perfect образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to have в прошедшем времени (had) и причастия прошедшего времени смыслового глагола: I had worked. Не had worked. Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to have (had) перед подлежащим, например: Had I worked? Had he worked? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола, например: I had not worked. Не had not worked. Past Perfect употребляется для выражения действия, совершенного к какому-то моменту в прошлом. Этот момент может быть обозначен либо точным указанием времени, либо другим действием в прошлом: Не had written his work by 2 o'clock. Он написал свою работу к двум часам. We had finished our laboratory work before the bell rang. 170

Мы закончили нашу лабораторную работу до того, как прозвенел звонок. Часто Past Perfect употребляется в придаточных долнительных предложениях, когда мы хотим подчеркнуть предшествование одного действия другому: She said (that) she had read this article. Она сказала, что читала эту статью. (Сначала она прочитала статью, а потом об этом сказала.) Future Perfect употребляется для выражения действия, совершенного к какому-то моменту в будущем. Этот момент может быть обозначен либо точным указанием времени, либо другим действием в будущем: I shall be back by 6 o’clock, and I hope you will have had a good sleep by that time. Правила согласования времен (The Sequence of Tenses) (GR 13) В английском языке существует правило согласования (последовательности) времен в сложноподчиненных предложениях с придаточными дополнительными. Если в главном предложении глагол стоит в настоящем или будущем времени, то в придаточном дополнительном предложении глагол может стоять в любом времени, требуемом по смыслу, и в этом случае правило согласования времен не действует: Не says that Ann takes English lessons. Он говорит, что Аня берет уроки английского языка. Не says that they were good friends for many years. Он говорит, что они были хорошими друзьями в течение многих лет. 171

Не says that they will go to Riga in summer. Он говорит, что они поедут в Ригу летом. Правило согласования времен действует лишь в том случае, если в главном предложении глагол стоит в Past Simple (Indefinite) или Past Continuous (Progressive). В этом случае в придаточном предложении употребляется: для выражения одновременного действия Past Simple (Indefinite) или Past Continuous (Progressive): He said that Ann took English lessons. Он сказал, что Аня берет уроки английского языка. 2) для выражения действия, предшествующего действию главного предложения – Past Perfect: Не said that they had been good friends for many years. Он сказал, что они были (когда-то раньше) хорошими друзьями в течение многих лет. 3) для выражения будущего действия употребляется особое время, которое называется Future (Simple)-in-the-Past (будущее в прошедшем): Не said that they would go to Riga in summer. Он сказал, что они поедут в Ригу летом. Не said that we should learn English. – Он сказал, что мы будем изучать английский язык. Примечание: Future Simple (Indefinite)-in-the-Past образует утвердительную, вопросительную и отрицательную формы таким же образом, как и Future Simple (Indefinite). Разница заключается лишь в том, что в Future Simple (Indefinite)-in-the-Past вместо глаголов shall и will соответственно употребляются should и would. На русский язык предложения в Future Simple (Indefinite)-in-the-Past переводятся будущим временем. Помните, что Future Simple (Indefinite)-in-the-Past употребляется только в придаточных дополнительных предложениях: She knew that I should attend these lectures. Она знала, что я буду посещать эти лекции. 172

She knew that you would attend these lectures. Она знала, что вы будете посещать эти лекции. Правила перевода прямой речи в косвенную. I. При переводе утвердительных предложений из прямой речи в косвенную производятся следующие изменения в предложении: 1. Глагол to say как сказуемое главного предложения при наличии косвенного дополнения заменяется глаголом to tell, а предлог to опускается. 2. Вводится союз that. 3. Личные местоимения в общем и косвенном падежах заменяются по смыслу. 4. Наречия и обстоятельства времени заменяются в косвенной речи слудующим образом: Now Yesterday Today Tomorrow Ago Here

– then – the day before yesterday – that day – the next day – before – there

5. Если глагол – сказуемое главного предложения стоит в Past Indefinite, то дополнительное придаточное предложение строится на основе правила согласования времён. He said to me, «I shall take my examination tomorrow.. He told me that he would take his examination the next day. He said, «I have not prepared my homework.» He said that he had not prepared his homework.» II. При переводе в косвенную речь вопросительных предложений: 1. Глагол to say заменяется глаголом to ask (в соответствующем времени). 173

2. Придаточное предложение имеет прямой порядок слов (порядок слов утвердительного предложениия) и строится на основе правила согласования времён, если глагол-сказуемое главного предложения стоит в Past Indefinite (Simple). 3. Придаточное предложение вводится союзом if или whether (если вопрос общий): He asked me, «Can you speak English fluently?» He asked me if Icould speak English fluently?» III. Повелительное предложение в косвенной речи водится словами to ask просить, to order велеть, приказывать и т.д. Глагол в повелительном наклонении заменяется инфинитивом гдагола (в отрицательной форме с отрицанием not): He said to me, «Read the text, please.» He asked me to read the text. My brother said, «Don’t go home now.» My brother told me not to go home then. Страдательный залог (The Passive Voice) (GR 14) В английском языке существует два залога глагола: действительный (the Active Voice) и страдательный (the Passive Voice). В том случае, когда подлежащее является действующим лицом, мы имеем дело с действительным залогом, например: I read a newspaper every day. Я читаю газету каждый день. (Подлежащее I является действующим лицом, и поэтому мы говорим, что данное предложение стоит в действительном залоге.) Если же подлежащее не является действующим лицом, а действие направлено на подлежащее, то в этом случае мы имеем дело с предложением в страдательном залоге, например: 174

The book was written by my friend. Книга была написана моим другом. (Здесь действие направлено на подлежащее the book.) Страдательный залог образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующем времени, лице и числе в сочетании с Past Participle (причастием прошедшего времени) смыслового глагола. Формула образования страдательного залога: to be (в соответствующем времени, лице и числе) Например: The house was built last month. The teacher was sent for.

Past Participle + смыслового глагола

Дом был построен в прошлом месяце. За учителем послали.

Как видно из вышеприведенных примеров, глагол в страдательном залоге в английском языке можно переводить на русский язык следующими тремя способами: сочетанием глагола «быть» с краткой формой страдательного причастия – в этом сочетании глагол to be в настоящем времени на русский язык не переводится; глаголом, оканчивающимся на -ся (-сь); глаголом в действительном залоге в 3-м лице множественного числа в составе неопределенно-личного предложения. Страдательный залог употребляется: 1) когда нам неизвестно лицо, совершающее действие, или по каким-то причинам мы не хотим упоминать его: A lot of books are published in our country every year. Очень много книг ежегодно издается в нашей стране. 2) когда предмет действия представляет для нас больший интерес, чем действующее лицо: 175

The picture was bought yesterday. Картина была куплена вчера. Повелительное наклонение (The Imperative Mood) (GR 15) Повелительное наклонение выражает просьбу или приказание говорящего. В повелительном наклонении различаются утвердительная и отрицательная формы. Утвердительная форма глагола образуется из инфинитива без частицы to: Читай! Читайте! Пиши! Пишите! Смотри! Смотрите на доску!

Read! Write! Look at the blackboard!

Отрицательная форма глагола в повелительном наклонении образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола do, слитого в одно слово с отрицательной частицей not – don't: Не пишите сейчас! Не опаздывайте! Не разговаривайте!

Don't write now! Don't be late! Don't talk!

Для выражения просьб или приказаний, обращенных к 3-му лицу, употребляется сочетание глагола let с личным местоимением в форме объектного падежа (или существительным в форме общего падежа) и инфинитива без частицы to. Эти сочетания переводятся на русский язык при помощи слов «пусть», «пускай», «давай», «дайте» с местоимением (существительным) и глаголом: Let him translate! Дай (-те) ему перевести!

Пусть он переводит!

Let them translate! Дай (-те) им перевести!

Пусть они переводят! 176

Сочетание глагола let с личным местоимением 1-го лица множественного числа в форме объектного падежа и инфинитива без частицы to выражает побуждение к совместному действию: Let us go! Пойдем (пойдемте)! (Давай (-те) пойдем!) Let us talk! Поговорим! (Давай (-те) поговорим!) Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи do not (don't): Don't let him do it! Don't let them go there!

Пусть он этого не делает! Пусть они не ходят туда!

Глагол to be (GR 16) Формы глагола to be в настоящем времени (Present Indefinite (Simple)) Утвердительная форма I am Не (she, it) is We (you, they) are

Вопроси тельная форма Am I? Is he? Are we?

Отрицательная Форма

Вопросительно-отри цательная форма

Am I not? Is he not? Are we not?

Глагол to be употребляется в качестве смыслового глагола, глагола-связки в составном именном сказуемом и вспомогательного глагола. 1) В роли смыслового глагола to be соответствует в русском языке глаголам «быть», «находиться». В этом случае в настоящем времени to be на русский язык часто не переводится, например: Ann is at school.

Аня … в школе.

2) В роли глагола-связки в составном именном сказуемом to be соответствует в русском языке глаголам «быть», «являть177

ся», «состоять», «заключаться». В настоящем времени связка на русский язык тоже часто не переводится: I am a student.

Я … студент. (Я являюсь студентом.)

3) В роли вспомогательного глагола to be употребляется для образования всех времен группы Continuous и страдательного залога (Passive Voice). В этом случае to be не имеет самостоятельного значения, а выполняет лишь различные грамматические функции, являясь показателем времени, лица, числа, залога и т. д. Само же действие выражается смысловыми глаголами: Не is sitting at the table now. Он сидит за столом сейчас. The house was built last month. Дом был построен в прошлом месяце. Оборот there is (there are) (GR 17) В сочетании с вводным словом there глагол to be в личной форме образует оборот there is (there are) со значением «есть», «имеется», «находится». Глагол to be в этом обороте может стоять в настоящем, прошедшем и будущем времени (Present, Past, Future Simple (Indefinite)) и согласуется с последующим существительным. На русский язык предложения с оборотом there is (there are) рекомендуется переводить начиная с обстоятельства места: There is a bus in the street. На улице (есть, находится, стоит) автобус. There is a book on the table. На столе … книга. 178

There are two pens on the desk. На парте … две ручки. There is a man there. Там … человек. В вопросительной форме глагол to be ставится перед вводным словом there: Is there a pencil in your bag? В твоем портфеле есть карандаш? Are there any cars in the street? На улице стоят машины? Для образования отрицательной формы отрицание nо ставится после оборота there is (there are): There is no book on the table. На столе нет книги. There are no buses in the street. На улице нет автобусов. Однако в кратких отрицательных ответах используется отрицание not: Is there a clock on the table? На столе есть часы? No, there is not.

Нет.

Are there any exercise-books in your bag? Есть ли у вас в портфеле тетради? No, there are not. Нет. 179

Глагол to have (GR 18) Формы глагола to have в настоящем времени (Present Simple (Indefinite)) Утвердительная форма I (you, we, they) have He (she, it) has

Вопросительная форма Have I? Has he?

Отрицательная форма I have not He has not

Вопросительноотрицательная форма Have I not? Has he not?

Примечание: В отрицательной форме глагол to have может принимать отрицание nо. Например: I have no books. У меня нет (никаких) книг. Но: I haven't the book. У меня нет этой книги. Глагол to have употребляется в качестве смыслового, вспомогательного и модального глагола (заменитель глагола must – должен). 1) В роли смыслового глагола to have соответствует в русском языке глаголам «иметь», «обладать», например: I have a book. She has a watch.

У меня есть книга. (Я имею книгу.) У нее есть часы. (Она имеет часы.)

2) В роли вспомогательного глагола to have употребляется для образования времен группы Perfect в сочетании с причастием прошедшего времени (Participle II). Глагол to have в этом случае самостоятельного значения не имеет, а выполняет лишь различные грамматические функции, являясь показателем времени, лица, числа и т.д. Само же действие выражается смысловым глаголом, в сочетании с которым он употребляется, например: I have read this book. Не has bought a watch.

Я прочел эту книгу. Он купил часы.

3) В роли модального глагола to have употребляется с частицей to как заменитель глагола must, например: You will have to come here again. Вам придется снова прийти сюда. 180

Модальные глаголы и их эквиваленты (Modal Verbs and their equivalents) (GR 19) В английском языке имеется группа глаголов, которые называются модальными или недостаточными. В эту группу входят глаголы: can – могу, умею may – могу, мне позволено, разрешено must – должен Недостаточными они называются потому, что имеют только некоторые личные формы и совсем не имеют неличных форм (инфинитива, причастий и герундия), а поэтому не имеют никаких сложных глагольных форм. Ни один из этих глаголов не имеет окончания -s в 3-м лице единственного числа настоящего времени (Present Indefinite). Самостоятельно эти глаголы не употребляются. За ними всегда следует другой глагол в инфинитиве без частицы to: I can … speak English. Я умею говорить по-английски. You may … sit down. Вы можете сесть (я вам разрешаю). Глагол саn Глагол саn имеет две формы: 1) форму настоящего времени: I can, he саn; 2) форму прошедшего времени: I could, he could. Для выражения будущего времени или каких-либо других временных форм глагол саn не употребляется, а употребляется выражение to be able to: Не will be able to read English books in a month. Он сможет читать английские книги через месяц. 181

Глагол can выражает физическую или умственную способность совершения действия, а также умение совершить какоелибо действие She can run quickly. Не can skate. Can you play tennis? Yes, I саn. No, I can’t (cannot).

Она может быстро бегать. Он умеет кататься на коньках. Вы умеете играть в теннис? Да. Нет.

Глагол may Глагол may имеет также две формы: 1) форму настоящего времени: I may, he may; 2) форму прошедшего времени: I might, he might. Для выражения будущего времени или каких-либо других временных форм глагол may не употребляется, а употребляется выражение to be allowed to: Ann will be allowed to pass her exam in chemistry. Ане будет разрешено сдать экзамен по химии. Глагол may имеет значение возможности совершения действия в зависимости от разрешения или вероятности его совершения: May I take the book? Yes, you may. No, you can't. It may snow today.

Можно мне взять книгу? Да, можете (я разрешаю). Нет, нельзя. Возможно, сегодня будет снег.

Глагол must Глагол must имеет только одну форму – настоящего времени: I must, he must. 182

We must do our lessons every day. Мы должны делать уроки ежедневно. Must he go there? Yes, he must. No, he needn't.

Должен он пойти туда? Да. Нет.

Для выражения прошедшего или будущего времени употребляется его заменитель – глагол to have to, а вопросительная и отрицательная формы данного сочетания образуются при помощи вспомогательного глагола to do в соответствующем времени: She had to do this work. Она должна была (ей пришлось) сделать эту работу. (Did she have to do this work?) (She didn’t have to do this work.) Не will have to read this English book. Он должен будет (ему придется) читать эту английскую книгу. Для выражения соглашения, договоренности, какого-то плана употребляется заменитель модального глагола must – глагол to be to (в Present Indefinite (Simple) или в Past Indefinite (Simple)). They are to go to Italy for the honeymoon. We were to meet here the next morning. Инфинитив (The Infinitive) (GR 20) Как в русском, так и в английском языке инфинитив имеет свойства глагола и существительного. Инфинитив обычно употребляется с частицей to. Черты существительного: 1) Инфинитив может быть подлежащим в предложении: 183

То study well is your duty. Учиться хорошо – ваша обязанность. То speak English is not difficult. Говорить по-английски нетрудно. 2) Инфинитив может быть прямым дополнением: Our students like to read. Наши студенты любят читать. My sister asked me to go there with her. Моя сестра попросила меня пойти туда с ней. 3) Инфинитив может быть именной частью составного сказуемого: Your task is to study well. Ваша задача – учиться хорошо. Характеристики глагола: 1) За инфинитивом может следовать прямое дополнение: Не likes to read English books. – Он любит читать английские книги. 2) Инфинитив может определяться наречием: They were surprised to see me so early. – Они удивились, увидев меня так рано. 3) Инфинитив может быть частью составного глагольного сказуемого: Не must do his homework this evening. – Он должен делать домашнее задание вечером. Ann began to read English books. Аня начала читать английские книги. Кроме того, инфинитив имеет еще и другие синтаксические функции. 184

1) Инфинитив может быть определением, заменяющим целое придаточное определительное предложение. My friend has brought me an interest ing book to read. Мой друг принес мне интересную книгу, которую я могу почитать. 2) Инфинитив может быть обстоятельством цели, заменяющим обстоятельственное предложение цели: Не gave me his реп to write a letter to Mike. Он дал мне ручку, чтобы я написал письмо Мише. 3) Инфинитив может входить в состав сложного дополнения: I want you to come early today. Я хочу, чтобы ты пришла рано сегодня. Герундий (The Gerund) (GR 21) В английском языке есть неличная форма глагола, оканчивающаяся на -ing, которой нет ни в русском языке, ни в казахском. Эта ing-форма называется the Gerund (герундий). Герундию присущи характеристики как глагола, так и существительного. Характеристики существительного: 1. Герундий употребляется в роли подлежащего или дополнения: Reading is useful. Чтение полезно. I like reading. Я люблю читать. 2. Герундий может иметь при себе определение, выраженное притяжательным местоимением или существительным: We were pleased with Alec's coming. Мы были довольны, что пришел Алик (приходом Алика). 185

3. В роли определения или обстоятельства герундий всегда употребляется с предлогом: I don't like his way of doing it. Мне не нравится, как он это делает. Характеристики глагола: 1. Герундий определяется наречием: I like your speaking English so fast. Мне нравится, что вы так быстро говорите по-английски. 2. Герундий может иметь при себе прямое дополнение: She likes reading French books. Она любит читать французские книги (книги на французском языке). Как видно из предыдущих примеров, герундий переводится на русский язык существительным, глаголом в неопределенной форме или придаточным предложением. Причастие настоящего времени (Present Participle, или Participle I) (GR 22) Present Participle может быть образовано от любого глагола (кроме модальных и вспомогательных глаголов shall и will) путем прибавления окончания -ing, соответствующего русским окончаниям -ащ(-ящ)ий(ся), -ущ(-ющ)ий(ся): standing – стоящий turning – поворачивающийся burning – горящий Если глагол оканчивается на непроизносимое -е, то при образовании Present Participle – е – опускается: 186

smile – smiling write – writing Если глагол состоит из одного слога, то при образовании Present Participle удваивается конечная согласная: sit – sitting run – running swim – swimming Present Participle участвует в образовании времен группы Continuous в сочетании с личными формами вспомогательного глагола to be: They are drawing now.

Они чертят сейчас.

В предложении Present Participle может выступать в функции: 1) определения к существительному: I like to see smiling faces. Я люблю видеть улыбающиеся лица. 2) обособленного определения, заменяющего придаточное определительное предложение: The boy sitting at the table is her brother. Мальчик, сидящий за столом, ее брат. (The boy who is sitting at the table is her brother.) (Мальчик, который сидит за столом ее брат.) 3) обстоятельства (в этих случаях английское причастие настоящего времени переводится русским деепричастием): She went out smiling.

Она вышла улыбаясь. 187

Причастие прошедшего времени (Past Participle, или Participle II) (GR 23) Форма Past Participle правильных глаголов образуется путем прибавления суффикса -ed к основной форме глагола, например: decide – решать

decided – решённый

Форма Past Participle неправильных глаголов образуется особыми способами (см. таблицу неправильных глаголов), например: write – писать

written – написанный

Формы Past Participle наиболее употребительных глаголов нужно выучить. Past Participle участвует в образовании времен группы Perfect, страдательного залога: I have just got tickets to the cinema. Я только что купил билеты в кино. This article was written by my friend. Эта статья была написана моим другом. В предложении Past Participle может выступать в функции: 1) определения к существительному: The broken cup was on the floor. Разбитая чашка лежала на полу. 2) обособленного определения, заменяющего придаточное определительное предложение: Here is the letter received from Nick. Вот письмо, полученное от Коли. 188

(Неге is the letter which I received from Nick yesterday.) (Вот письмо, которое я получил от Коли вчера.) Предлоги (Prepositions) (GR 24) Ввиду того, что в английском языке почти отсутствуют падежи, предлоги показывают не только отношения между существительными и другими частями речи, но и выполняют функцию падежных окончаний. Запомните значения основных предлогов английского языка: 1) Предлог of выполняет функцию русского родительного падежа: London is the capital of Great Britain. Лондон – столица Великобритании. 2) Предлог to выполняет функцию дательного падежа при выражении отношения глагола к дополнению: I gave the pen to my brother. Я отдал ручку брату. 3) Предлог about соответствует форме предложного падежа: Не told me about that party. Он рассказал мне о том вечере. 4) Предлоги by, with выполняют функцию творительного падежа. By обозначает одушевленного деятеля, with – орудие действия: We write with a pen. Мы пишем ручкой. 'Poltava' was written by Pushkin. «Полтава» была написана Пушкиным. 189

Помните, что один и тот же предлог может переводиться на русский язык по-разному. Например: in She was in the street. We shall meet in a month. The work was done in May.

Она была на улице. Мы встретимся через месяц. Работа была сделана в мае.

at She was at the lesson.

Она была на уроке.

I worked at my homework. Я работал над моим домашним заданием. The teacher was at his desk when I came in. Учитель был за своим столом, когда я вошел. At 7 o'clock we shall go to Sochi. В семь часов мы поедем в Сочи. to Не goes to school in the morning.

Он ходит в школу утром.

"Come to the blackboard!" he said. «Подойди к доске!» – сказал он. Today we shall go to the meeting. Сегодня мы пойдем на собрание. Запомните значения следующих предлогов: on – на in – внутри above – над near – около, возле under – под to – указывает движение к предмету into – внутрь before – перед, до out of – изнутри in front of – перед behind – сзади from – указывает движение от below – ниже предмета или с поверхности чего-либо 190

Предлоги не используются в следующих словосочетаниях: Is there a meeting next week? I’ll see you this weekend. They went there last year. Предлоги места at и in. Simon was at the bus stop. (место нахождения) We live at 25 Boltom Road. (дом или адрес) We were at the theatre. (здание, где что-то происходит) We stopped at the village near Coventry. (город или деревня во время путешествия) The Jamesons live at Oxford. (город или деревня, at употребляется редко) 1. Susan was in the garden. (территория) 2. We live in Bolton Road. (улица или дорога) 3. It was dark in the theatre. (внутри здания) 4. There were two shops in the village. (деревня) 5. The Jamesons live in Oxford. (город) 6. They are on holiday in Spain. (страна) Порядок слов в английском предложении (Word Order) (GR 25) В английском языке существует твердый порядок слов в предложении. Это объясняется тем, что в языке имеется очень 191

небольшое количество грамматических окончаний и словообразовательных суффиксов и функция слова в предложении определяется его местом в предложении. Необходимо запомнить следующий порядок слов для утвердительного предложения: на первом месте стоит подлежащее (с определяющими его словами), за ним следует сказуемое, за сказуемым – остальная часть предложения. Подлежащее Kate

Сказуемое reads

Остальная часть предложения English books.

В вопросительном предложении обратный порядок слов: сказуемое или часть сказуемого стоит перед подлежащим. Специальный вопрос начинается с вопросительного слова, а общий вопрос – со сказуемого или части сказуемого. Вопросительное слово When

Вспомогательный глагол Подлежащее

Смысловой глагол

do

you

speak

Остальная часть предложения English?

Where

do

you

learn

your English?

What

did

your friend

do

yesterday?

will

you

do

tomorrow?

Если глагол-сказуемое предложения стоит в одном из сложных времен действительного или страдательного залога, то при образовании вопросительной формы первый вспомогательный глагол занимает место перед подлежащим, например: John has read this book. Has John read this book? Отрицание not обычно ставится между вспомогательным и основным глаголом или после первого вспомогательного глагола в сложных глагольных формах, например: I do not speak French. Я не говорю по-французски. 192

They have not seen the film yet. Они еще не видели этот фильм. Прямое дополнение обычно стоит за сказуемым или за косвенным дополнением, например: Take the book, please. Возьмите книгу, пожалуйста. Ann told me an interesting story. Аня рассказала мне интересную историю (рассказ). Определение чаще всего занимает место перед определяемым словом. Обстоятельства могут следовать за дополнениями или стоять в начале предложения, например: We shall play tennis tomorrow. Мы будем играть в теннис завтра. In the morning we shall go to the park. Утром мы пойдем в парк. Вопросительные предложения (Interrogative Sentences) (GR 26) Наиболее распространенными типами вопросов в английском языке являются общие и специальные вопросы. Общие вопросы (General Questions) Общими вопросами называются вопросы, цель которых – получить от собеседника подтверждение или отрицание высказанной в вопросе мысли. Эти вопросы требуют утвердительного или отрицательного ответа (например: yes или nо). 193

Общие вопросы, как правило, не содержат вопросительного слова. Они произносятся с повышающейся к концу предложения интонацией: Are you a nurse? – Yes, I am. Have you seen the film? – No, I haven't. Разделительные вопросы («Tail» Questions) Особой разновидностью общих вопросов являются разделительные вопросы («Tail» Questions), которые состоят из двух частей. Первая – повествовательное предложение в утвердительной или отрицательной форме, вторая – краткий общий вопрос, состоящий из подлежащего-местоимения и вспомогательного, или модального глагола, или глаголов to be, to have в зависимости от сказуемого первой части. Если первая часть утвердительная (когда ожидается ответ yes), то вторая – отрицательная; если первая часть отрицательная (когда ожидается ответ nо), то вторая не содержит отрицания. Первая часть разделительного вопроса произносится с понижающейся интонацией, вторая часть – с повышающейся. Подобные вопросы соответствуют в русском языке вопросам с вводными словами: «Не так ли?», «Не правда ли?», «Правда?». Разделительные вопросы весьма употребительны в разговорной речи: She is here, isn't she? Она здесь, не так ли? She isn't here, is she? Ее здесь нет, правда? You will come, won't you? Ты придешь, не правда ли? Jim doesn't play tennis, does he? You don't have to go there now, do you? Bob spoke English very well, didn't he? Your brother can repair radio sets, can't he? You have such a book, haven't you? На разделительные вопросы обычно даются ответы с краткими утвердительными или отрицательными фразами: 194

Today is Monday, isn't it? – Yes, it is. You don't like coffee, do you? – No, I don't Специальные вопросы (Special Questions) Специальными вопросами называются такие вопросы, целью которых является не простое подтверждение или отрицание мысли, высказанной в вопросе, а получение какой-либо дополнительной информации: What's your name? – My name is Pete. Where are you going? – To the park. Специальный вопрос ставится к какому-либо одному члену предложения. Он обязательно начинается с вопросительного слова, которое указывает, к какому именно члену предложения относится вопрос. Специальный вопрос произносится с понижающейся интонацией. Вопросительные слова, которые употребляются в специальных вопросах: who [hu:] кто? whom [hu:m] кого? кому? whose [hu:z] чей? what [wɔt] что? какой? which [wit∫] который? when [wen] когда? where [wεə] куда? где? why [wai] почему? how [hau] как? how many ['hau 'meni] сколько? how much ['hau 'mΛt∫] сколько? Альтернативные вопросы (Alternative Questions) Альтернативные (выборочные) вопросы состоят из двух частей, соединенных союзом or. Эти вопросы по форме совпа195

дают с общими, но предусматривают выбор между двумя возможностями и требуют таких же ответов, как и специальные вопросы. Первая часть таких вопросов произносится с повышающейся интонацией, вторая – с понижающейся: Is this Ann or Kate? – Kate. Do you like tea or coffee? – Tea. Is this your book or mine? – It's yours. Will you go to the theatre or to the cinema? – To the theatre. Сложное дополнение (The Complex Object) (GR 27) В английском языке существуют так называемые синтаксические комплексы, т.е. сочетания двух или нескольких слов, представляющие собой единое синтаксическое целое (один член предложения). Наиболее распространенным синтаксическим комплексом является сложное дополнение (the Complex Object). Каждый синтаксический комплекс состоит из именной части (существительного или местоимения) и глагольной части (инфинитива, герундия или причастия) и может быть развернут в целое придаточное предложение, где именная часть комплекса будет подлежащим, а глагольная – сказуемым. Сложное дополнение может состоять из прямого дополнения и инфинитива: I want you to visit me in the evening. Я хочу, чтобы вы навестили меня вечером. Pete wants me to write the letter. Петя хочет, чтобы я написал это письмо. После глаголов see, hear, watch, make, feel, let в сложном дополнении инфинитив употребляется без частицы to: 196

I saw him come into the house. Я видел, что он вошел в дом. Не heard me open the door. Он слышал, что я открыла дверь. Сложное дополнение может также состоять из прямого дополнения и причастия: I heard her singing an English song. Я слышал, как она пела английскую песню. Не watched them playing in the garden. Он наблюдал за тем, как они играли в саду. Разница между ними заключается в следующем. Сложное дополнение с инфинитивом обозначает однократное действие: I heard her say these words. Я слышал, что она сказала эти слова. We saw her run into the house. Мы видели, что она вбежала в дом. Сложное дополнение с причастием настоящего времени подчеркивает процесс протекания действия: I saw her crossing the street. Я видел, как она переходила улицу. I watched the children playing with a ball. Я наблюдал за тем, как дети играли в мяч. Сложное дополнение не имеет точного соответствия в русском языке и переводится на русский язык дополнительным придаточным предложением с союзами что, чтобы (если в сложное дополнение входит инфинитив) и как (если в сложное дополнение входит причастие настоящего времени). 197

Сложное подлежащее (Complex Subject) (GR 28) Неопределнно-личные предложения в русском языке, такие как говорят, что; считают, что и т.д., выражаются а английском языке соответствующими оборотами It is said that …, it is considered that … . Сложноподчинённое предложение с неопределённо-личным оборотом типа It is said, it seems имеет свой особый эквивалент – субъектный инфинитивный оборот (The Subjective Infinitive Construction). Cубъектный инфинитивный оборот (сложное подлежащее – Complex Object) состоит из: существительного (в общем падеже) или местоимения (в именительном падеже – I, you, he , she и т.д.) и инфинитива, стоящего после сказуемого. It is known that he writes poems. He is known to write poems. (Оба предложения переводятся одинакого). Известно, что он пишет стихи.) It was reported that the delegation had arrived on Sunday. The delegation was reported to have arrived on Sunday. (Оба предложения переводятся одинакого). Сообщили, что делегация прибыла в воскресенье). Оборот переводится на русский язык как сложно-подчиненным предложнием, так и простым, употребляя неопределенноличный оборот как вводное предложение: This scientist is known to speak many foreign languages. ( Этот ученый, как известно, говорит на многих иностранных языках. Известно, что этот ученый говорит на многих иностранных языках.) Cубъектный инфинитивный оборот употребляется после следующих глаголов в действительном залоге: to seem – казаться, to appear – казаться, по-видимому, to prove – оказывается, to happen – случаться, to turn out – оказывается. Cубъектный инфинитивный оборот употребляется после следующих глаголов в страдательном залоге: to think (to believe) – полагать, считать, to suppose – предполагать, to consider – считать, to know – знать (известно), to mean – иметь в виду, to expect 198

– ожидать, to say – говорить, to report – сообщать, to find – обнаруживать. А также субъектный инфинитивный оборот может употребляется после сказуемого, выраженного прилагательным: to be likely – по-видимому, to be sure – непременно, to be certain – несомненно. Существует также субъектный причастный оборот (сложное подлежащее – Complex Object), который состоит из: существительного (в общем падеже) или местоимения (в именительном падеже – I, you , he , she и т.д.) и причаститя I, стоящего после сказуемого. He was heard locking the door. _ – Слышно было, как он запирал дверь. (переводится придаточным предложением со сказуемым, выраженным глаголом несовершенного вида). Порядок прилагательных в предложениях (Word-order with adjectives) (GR 29) Трудно точно установить правильный порядок слов, в котором английские прилагательные должны следовать друг за другом, из-за большого количества исключений. Однако существуют некоторые установленные правила, которые помогут в правильном выборе. Обычно не должно быть более трех прилагательных в предложении. Ставьте прилагательнгое, выражающее ваше мнение перед другими прилагательными. John is handsome, slim and fair-haired. What an adorable little child! Ставьте прилагательные, выражающие размер, длину и высоту перед прилагательными, обозначающими цвет и материал, из которого сделан данный предмет. That’s a small Dutch rabbit. It’s a long silk scarf. 199

Ставьте прилагательные, обозначающие цвет, материал, производство и цель, для которой используется данный предмет в следующем порядке. These are green English glass drinking cups. Bill is a brown shepherd dog. Ставьте числа и такие слова, как first, second, last и т.д. перед прилагательными. That’s the last boring party I’m going to. Three ripe tomatoes. 5) Ставьте прилагательные после глаголов appear, be, become, feel, get, look, seem, sound, smell and taste, а перед последним прилагательным ставьте слово and. It tastes nice and spicy. You look tired and unhappy. Порядок слов в предложениях с наречиями (Word-order with adverbs) (GR 30) Наречия, обозначающие частоту выполнения действия и несомненность. Ставьте наречия, обозначающие частоту выполнения действия, такие, как always, never, often, sometimes, и наречия, выражающие несомненность, такие как certainly, definitely, probably перед большинством глаголов. We never go sailing. I often go running. He definitely likes pizza. Ставьте наречия, обозначающие частоту выполнения действия и наречи, выражающие несомненность перед вспомогатель200

ными глаголами, такими, как can, do, have, must, will после глагола be. I can often beat him. She has probably been there before. В вопросительных предложениях ставьте наречия, обозначающие частоту выполнения действия, и такие как still и ever после вспомогательного глагова и подлежащего. Do you often go out? Does he still love me? Have you ever seen him? Наречия, обзначающие образ действия, место, количество и время Ставьте наречия образа действия, такие как badly, well; места, такие, как here, there; обозначающие качество, такие как a bit, a lot, much и наречия обозначающие время, такие как, today, yesterday в конец предложения. Никогда не ставьте эти наречия между глаголом и дополнением. You speak English well. They sell stamps here. We liked the restaurant a lot. He is leaving the house today. Наречия, стоящие перед прилагатльными и причастиями прошедшего времени. Ставьте наречия, перед прилагатльными и причастиями прошедшего времени (но не после). The book is nearly written. You look extremely tired. 201

Both, all; each, every; either, neither (GR 31) Употребляйте слово both, когда вы говорите о двух предметах. Both Algeria and Morocco are in North Afreica. Both my children like fish. Употребляйте слово all с существительными во множественном числе или с местоимениями, когда вы говорите о трех или более предметах All my friends are wonderful. All living things need oxygen. You are all crazy. Употребляйте слово each, когда вы говорите о двух или более предметах. Слово each употребляется перед существительныи в единственном числе. Each time I have seen him, he has been very kind to me. (I have seen him at least twice). Peter has decided to go running each day for a week. Употребляйте слово every, когда вы говорите о трёх или более предметах. Слово every употребляется перед существительныи в единственном числе. Every letter you write is beautiful. Paola wins the competition every year. Примечание: Можно часто употреблять слова each и every с одинаковым значением. Но чтоб быть более точным, при употреблении each и every необходимо помнить, что each употребляется, когда вы говорите о предметах порознь, и every – когда вы говорите о предметах как о группе. I love you more each day (every day). 202

Употребляйте слово either в отрицательных предложениях. Оно обозначает как одну вещь, так и другую. Gemma didn’t like either of the dresses I bought. (She didn’t like the black dress. She didn’t like the white dress.) Употребляйте слово neither в утвердительных предложениях. Оно обозначает ни одну из перечисленных вещей. Neither of my brothers remembered my birthday. Употребляйте слово both of, each of, either of, neither of, когда существительное стоит вомножественном числе или перед местоимением. Which do you prefer? I like both of them. There were two small dogs. Each of the dogs was wearing a red collar. Оборот to be going to для выражения намерения в будущем времени. (GR 32) 1. В английском языке существует несколько форм для выражения действия или состояния в будущем времени. Одной из таких форм является оборот to be going to, который выражает намерение лица, обозначенного подлежащим, совершить действие в близжайшем будущем времени. I am going to write to my sister tomorrow. – Завтра я напишу (собираюсь написать) своей сестре. (Я принял решение сделать это завтра.) He is going to be a teacher. – Он будет преподавателем. (Он учится, чтобы стать преподавателем.) 203

Оборот to be going to может сочетаться с любым глаголом, за исключением глвголов to come, to go и некоторых других глаголов движения. В этих случаях форма Present Continuous выражает намерение подлежащего совершить действие в близжайшем будущем. Where are you going tomorrow? – We are going to the park. (Куда вы идете? – Мы идем в парк.) When is he coming? – He is coming tomorrow. (Когда он приезжает(приедет) Он приезжает (приедет) завтра. 2. Оборот to be going to употребляется также для выражения уверенности говорящего в том, что дйствие обязятельно произойдет в близжайшем будущем. He is going to be a good engineer. – Он станет хорошим инженером. Как оборот to be going to, так и форма Present Continuous, когда она служит для обозначения действия в близжайшем будущем, могут употребляться со следующими обстоятельствами времени: tonight (this evening) – сегодня вечером, tomorrow – завтра, the day after tomorrow – послезавтра, in two (three, four) days – через два (три, четыре) дня, in a week – через неделю , in a month – через месяц, in a year – через год, next week – на будущей неделе, next month – в следующем месяце, next year – в следующем году. Are you coming tomorrow evening? – I think I am. (Вы придёте завтра вечером? –Думаю, что приду.) Настоящее совершенное продолженное время (Present Perfect Continuous Tense) (GR 33) Настоящее совершенное продолженное время (Present Perfect Continuous Tense) образуется при помощи вспомогательного 204

глагола to have (has) в настоящем времени +been + причастия настоящего времени смыслового глагола. I have been reading. Не has been reading. Вопросительная форма образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола to have (has) перед подлежащим, например: Have I been reading? Has he been reading? Отрицательная форма образуется путем постановки отрицания not после вспомогательного глагола, например: I have not been reading. Не has not been reading. Present Perfect Continuous употребляется для выражения действия, которое либо закончено, либо нет на данный момент времени: We have been painting the flat. That’s why it smells. We still have three rooms to paint. Anna’s hands are dirty because she has been mending her bike. Предложения в Present Perfect Continuous отвечают на вопрос How long? и употребляются со словами since и for: – How long have you been waiting? Have you been queuеing for a long time? – Yes, I have been waiting since 2 o’clock. Сочетание used to для выражения повторяющихся действий в прошлом (GR 34) Мы употребляем сочетание used to для выражения повторяющихся действий в прошлом в течение месяцев или лет, и противопоставляем его настоящему. 205

When I was young I used to run three miles a day. I don’t do that now. – В молодости я пробегал 3 километра в день. Сейчас я не делаю этого. People used to think that the earth was not round. – Раньше люди думали, чтот земля не круглая. Вопросительные и отрицательные предложения с сочетанием used to строятся следующим образом: did +use to. Sue didn’t use to like black coffee. Paul didn’t use to smoke a pipe. Did Ann use to cycle to school? Did your uncle use to live in Ireland? Мы не употребляем сочетание use to для выражения повторяющихся действий в настоящем. Здесь употребляется Present Indefinite (Simple).
