    Articles.

    Немного об артикле.

    Когда мы называем предмет в первый раз и он еще неизвестен собеседнику, мы используем неопределенный артикль a.

    Когда мы вторично называем предмет или называем предмет, уже известный собеседнику, мы используем определенный артикль the.

    Например: This is a ball. The ball is red.

    Артикль a употребляется только с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе: a day, a student. С неисчисляемыми существительными употребляется нулевой артикль. Например: This is water. I’d like information.

    Если существительное или описывающее его прилагательное начинаются с гласной, то артикль принимает форму «an».

    Например: a story, a box. Но: an apple, an orange, an interesting book, an easy task.

    Перед именами людей, названиями стран, городов, улиц артикль не употребляется.

    Are you typical?

    I would like to tell you about myself and my family. We are the Davidsons: my wife, my two children and I. We are very typical. My children go to school and they hate it. Every day they ask: Please, we would like to sleep, to play computer games. But I say: No. School for you. No questions. And they go. I work in a bank. This is a good occupation. It gives us money. But it isn’t very interesting. I get up at six, and I can not see my children and my wife much. That’s bad. My wife would like to work too, but I don’t understand her. It is lovely to be at home, to watch TV, to cook. And she can cook very well.

    But I can tell you something interesting about us. We play football. We all play football. We play behind our house. My wife can do it very well. We would like to be the champions of our town. We can do it! And we would like to do it. Every day when I finish work we go and play football. So, we are not very typical.

    The Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense

    Настоящее простое (неопределенное) время

    Настоящее простое (неопределенное) время используется для выражения обычного, периодически повторяющегося действия. Наречия-определители: часто, всегда, никогда, каждый день, каждый год, каждый месяц, иногда. В русском переводе глагол стоит в настоящем времени. Например: Он обычно читает газету по утрам. Она никогда не завтракает.

    Утвердительные предложения

    В третьем лице единственного числа глагола – окончание «s» / «es». Во всех остальных формах глагол – без изменений.

    Особую форму имеет глагол have. В третьем лице единственного числа используется форма has.

    Если глагол заканчивается на «y» с предшествующей согласной, то y меняется на «i», и прибавляется окончание «es»: She carries (to carry). Но: She buys (to buy – перед y – гласная).

    3 лицо единств. число

    Types of Questions

    Типы вопросов

    В английском языке существует 5 основных типов вопросов:

    – общие;

    – специальные;

    – вопросы к подлежащему;

    – альтернативные;

    – расчлененные.

    Общие вопросы начинаются со вспомогательного глагола: do, does, am, are,is, can и т. д. Произносятся они, в основном, с восходящим тоном. На них можно ответить кратко «да» или «нет». Они задаются ко всему предложению целиком.

    Например: Do they go swimming every day?

    Does she live in a flat?

    Can they stay here?

    Специальные вопросы начинаются с вопросительных слов и задаются к отдельному члену предложения. Они произносятся, в основном, с нисходящим тоном. Их формула: вопросительное слово+общий вопрос.

    Например: Why do they go swimming every day?

    Where does she live?

    When can they stay here?

    Вопросы к подлежащему начинаются с вопросительных слов who – кто и what – что. В них не используется вспомогательный глагол (за исключением случаев, когда вспомогательный глагол является основным глаголом предложения, как is, are, am, can). Глагол в таких вопросах ставится в форме единственного числа.

    Например: Who goes swimming every day? (Сравните с русским: Кто ходит плавать, а не: Кто ходят плавать.)

    Who lives in a flat?

    Who can stay here?

    Альтернативные вопросы – такие, где спрашивается о выборе с использованием or – или. Они строятся по формуле общего вопроса.

    Например: Do they go swimming or fishing every day?

    Does she live in a house or in a flat?

    Can they or we stay here?

    Расчлененные вопросы состоят из двух частей: самого предложения и краткого общего вопроса к нему, которое переводится: «не так ли?»

    Если предложение утвердительное, то в кратком общем вопросе к нему (в хвостике) вспомогательный глагол используется в отрицательной форме. Если предложение отрицательное, то в кратком общем вопросе к нему (в хвостике) вспомогательный глагол используется в утвердительной форме.

    Например: They go fishing every day, don’t they? – Они ходят на рыбалку каждый день, не так ли?

    They don’t go fishing every day, do they?

    She lives in London, doesn’t she?

    She doesn’t live in London, does she?

    We can stay here, can’t we?

    We can’t stay here, can we?

    Possessive Case

    Притяжательный падеж имен существительных

    Притяжательный падеж выражает принадлежность и соответствует в русском языке родительному падежу. В форме притяжательного падежа употребляются, главным образом, имена существительные, обозначающие одушевленные предметы.

    Притяжательный падеж существительных в единственном числе образуется прибавлением апострофа и буквы s к форме существительного.

    David’s sister – сестра Дэвида

    My daughter's friends – друзья моей дочери

    Если существительное заканчивается на s, то чаще всего в притяжательном падеже после апострофа s уже не используется. Например:

    James’ sister – сестра Джемса

    Притяжательный падеж существительных во множественном числе образуется прибавлением апострофа к форме существительного.

    Students’ flats

    My friends’ car

    Если существительное не заканчивается на s (см. особые случаи образования множественного числа имен существительных), то в притяжательном падеже после апострофа стоит s. Например:

    My children’s toys

    The women’s husbands

    The Present Continuous Tense

    Настоящее продолженное время

    Для выражения действия, которое происходит в настоящий момент, используется Настоящее продолженное время. Этот момент может подразумеваться из контекста или может быть выражен такими обозначениями времени, как «now» – сейчас, «at the present moment» – в настоящий момент, «at this moment» – в этот момент.

    The Present Continuous Tense образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в формах is/am/are и смыслового глагола с – ing окончанием.

    I am reading now.

    She is riding now.

    They are skiing now.

    Вопросительные и отрицательные предложения:

    Are they playing tennis now?

    They aren’t writing now.

    The Past Simple (Indefinite) Tense

    Прошедшее неопределенное время

    В английском языке прошедшее действие может передаваться временем Past Simple (Indefinite), которое используется со следующими указателями времени:

    Yesterday – вчера;

    Last week – на прошлой неделе;

    Last month – в прошлом месяце;

    Last year – в прошлом году;

    Two years ago – два года назад;

    In 1995 – в 1995, и т. д.

    Для построения высказывания необходимо поставить в прошедшее время глагол. Все глаголы английского языка делятся на правильные и неправильные.

    Правильные глаголы образуют формы прошедшего времени по правилу:

    Глагол+окончание ed.

    Например, to play-played, to look-looked.

    Произношение и правописание:

    Окончание ed произносится как [d] после гласного или звонкого согласного: stayed, listened. После глухого согласного, шипящего или свистящего оно произносится [t]: kissed, cooked. После t и d – как [id]: to found (основывать) – founded.

    Если глагол заканчивается на y с предшествующей согласной – она меняется на i и добавляется окончание ed: to copy-copied.

    Если глагол заканчивается на согласную с предшествующей краткой гласной – конечная согласная удваивается (чтобы сохранить при произношении звучание закрытого слога) и добавляется окончание ed: to stop – stopped [stopt].

    Если глагол заканчивается на немую e, то окончание будет просто d: to use-used

    Неправильные глаголы образуют формы прошедшего времени по историческому принципу. Их необходимо запомнить как наиболее употребляемые. Мы приведем для запоминания в этом уроке десять основных:

    To be – was/were (см. Focus on Grammar, Language focus 1)

    To begin-began

    To build-built

    To come-came

    To do-did

    To go-went

    To have-had

    To read-read [red]

    To see-saw

    To take-took

    Например: He goes to work every day. But last week he went to work only on Monday.

    Общие вопросы в прошедшем неопределенном времени задаются с помощью вспомогательного глагола did (кроме глагола to be, который сам себе вспомогательный глагол в прошедшем времени – was/were), который съедает окончание прошедшего времени у глагола (ed) или форму прошедшего времени (у неправильных глаголов).

    Например:

    Правильные глаголы

    He played tennis last Tuesday.

    Did he play tennis last Tuesday?

    He didn't play tennis last Tuesday.

    Неправильные глаголы

    We saw him yesterday.

    Did we see him yesterday?

    We didn't see him yesterday.

    Формула специальных вопросов: When did he come home yesterday? (вопросительное слово+did+подлежащее+глагол +наречие времени).

    Но вопрос к подлежащему: Who came home yesterday? (вспомогательный глагол не выносится)

    4. Form the past simple of the regular verbs. Read them aloud.

    Образуйте форму прошедшего неопределенного времени у следующих правильных глаголов. Прочтите эти формы вслух.

    Например: To play – played

    To dance -

    To carry -

    To help -

    To live -

    To open -

    To rent -

    To move -

    To listen -

    To use -

    To relax -

    To cook -

    To paint -

    To type -

    To wait -

    To prepare -

    To organize -

    To add -

    To work -

    To watch -

    To improve —


    5. Change the sentences in the Present Simple Tense into the Past Simple Tense. Use the following adverbs.

    Поставьте предложения в прошедшее время. Используйте следующие наречия времени:

    Yesterday, last year, last month, a week ago, in 2004, last Friday, three years ago, last night.

    Например:

    She goes to the nursery every day. She went to the nursery on Monday.

    1. The boss usually signs the documents.

    2. We always prepare a present for him.

    3. He lives in a beautiful castle.

    Leeds Castle

    Pat Carr is a tour guide. She takes tourists round the Leeds Castle and shows them what is there.

    Leeds Castle was built in the ninth century. It was the home of many kings and queens from Edward the First until Henry the Eighth.

    This was Queen Catherine’s bathroom. As you can see, the bath was very simple. There was nothing special, just a few things. And this was Queen Catherine’s room. It looked the same in 1430. It was her bedroom. It was also her dining room. Perhaps there was a table here. It was also an audience or reception room, a room where people came to see her.

    This was King Henry the Eighth’s dining room. There was a long table here. And these chairs were here in King Henry’s time. The table was from a French monastery. The drawers were for knives and forks.

    She thinks that the history of Leeds Castle is very interesting. Many people lived here. They loved it – they all added something to it in their own century.

    The Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

    Степени сравнения прилагательных

    Как и в русском языке, в английском прилагательные имеют три степени сравнения: положительную, сравнительную и превосходную.

    Например, вкусный – вкуснее – самый вкусный

    Образование:

    У односложных и некоторых двусложных прилагательных (заканчивающихся на – r или – y) степени сравнения образуются путем прибавления к положительной форме суффиксов – er для сравнительной формы и – est для превосходной (эта форма используется с артиклем the).

    Cheap – cheaper – t he cheapest

    Happy – happier – the happiest

    Правописание:

    Удваивается согласная после краткой гласной (чтобы сохранить закрытый слог): big – bigger – the biggest.

    Конечная – e опускается: nice – nicer – the nicest.

    У большинства двусложных прилагательных, а также прилагательных, состоящих из трех и более слогов, степени сравнения образуются при помощи слов more и the most.

    Expensive – more expensive – the most expensive

    Useful – more useful – the most useful

    Исключения, которые необходимо запомнить:

    Good – better – the best

    Bad – worse – the worst

    5. Form the degrees of comparison of adjectives.

    Образуйте степени сравнения прилагательных.

    Strange -

    Interesting -

    Simple -

    Bad -

    Fresh -

    Smal l-

    Cold -

    Comfortable -

    Tired -

    Wet -

    Hot -

    Beautiful -

    Healthy -

    Important -

    Long -

    6. Make up your own sentences with the adjectives.

    Например: longer

    This way is longer than that one.

    the longest

    That way is the longest (of all three).

    more comfortable

    ..............................................................................................................

    easier

    ..............................................................................................................

    more relaxing

    ..............................................................................................................

    the biggest

    the most stressful

    .............................................................................................................

    nicer

    ............................................................................................................

    7. Translate into Russian. Pay special attention to the articles.

    Переведите на русский язык. Обратите особое внимание на употребление артиклей.

    A better teacher, the best teacher, a more expensive area, more important post, the most interesting meeting, a worse soccer match, the worst food, better food, a better holiday, the most comfortable flight, the oldest castle, a hotter day, a more interesting subject, more interesting subjects, the worst choice, a bigger part, the most important year.

    Elementary, My Dear Watson

    one lovely evening, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty friend Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After having dinner and drinking a few glasses of wine, they became tired and went to sleep. A couple hours passed and Sherlock Holmes awoke, and shortly thereafter woke Dr. Watson as well. He said, «Watson, look up, and tell me what you see.»

    Dr. Watson replied, «Well, sir, I see millions of stars in the sky.»

    Sherlock Holmes asked, «And what does that tell you?»

    Dr. Watson paused for a moment and said, «Well, astronomically it tells me that there are billions of stars and possibly millions of galaxies in the universe. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Horalogically I can deduce that it is approximately quarter past three in the morning. Theologically it symbolizes that God is magnificent and that we humans are small and insignificant in the universe. And meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.»

    To which Sherlock Holmes replied, «No, stupid! Someone has stolen our tent!»

    Restless God

    in the beginning, god created Earth and rested.

    Then God created man and rested.

    Then God created woman.

    Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

    A Driving Debacle

    «No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased to award you a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. What do you think you're going to do with the money?»

    He thought for a minute and said, «Well, I guess I'll go get that drivers' license.»

    The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, «Oh, don't pay attention to him – he's a smart ass when he's drunk and stoned.»

    The guy from the back seat said, «I TOLD you guys we wouldn't get far in a stolen car!»

    At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, «Are we over the border yet?»

    An O'Malley Coincidence

    a man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

    «Why, of course,» comes the reply.

    The first man then asks, «Where are you from?»

    «I'm from Ireland,» replies the second man.

    The first man responds, «You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland.»

    «Of course,» says the second.

    Curious, the first asks, «Where in Ireland?»

    «Dublin», comes the reply.

    «I can't believe it, me too! Lets have another round of drinks to Dublin».

    «Of course».

    The second man can't help himself so he asks, «What school did you go to?»

    «Saint Mary's», replies the first man. «I graduated in 62.»

    «This is becoming unbelievable!!!» the second man said.

    About that time, in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. «What's up?» he asks the bartender.

    «Nothing much», replied the bartender. «The O'Malley twins are drunk again!»

    Olympics

    the olympic games are believed to have begun more than 3,000 years ago, although written records only exist from 776 BC.

    The records show that these Games consisted of activities that were the skills of soldiers, like boxing, javelin and the Marathon. At just over twenty-six miles long, the Marathon is the longest running race in the Games and it is named after the site of a battle in ancient Greece. According to legend, a Greek messenger ran to Athens to bring news of the Greek victory and died of exhaustion just after giving his message.

    The ancient Olympic Games continued for nearly 1,200 years until the Roman emperor, Theodosius I, abolished the Games because of their pagan influences.

    Around 1,500 years later, in 1894, the Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, helped to re-establish the Games. He also created the structure of the modern Olympic Movement.

    Nowadays the aim of the Olympic Movement is to promote peace, friendship and understanding between different nations through sport. And appropriately, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Greece in 1896.

    Just over 200 men, representing 14 countries, competed in a total of 43 events. Winners received a silver medal, a certificate and a crown of olive leaves. Runners-up were given bronze medals and a crown of laurel while those who finished third went home empty-handed.

    The Olympic Games are held every four years with one country being responsible for the organisation of the event. There is often fierce competition to be the host city. In 2004, Greece hosts the Games and in 2008 they will be held in Beijing in China.

    the site of a battle

    the place where a battle happened

    legend

    a legend is a very old story that may be based on facts

    exhaustion

    the state of being so tired that you have no energy left

    abolished

    stopped

    pagan influences

    if something has a pagan influence it is affected by beliefs that are not connected with any of the main religions of the world

    Movement

    A movement is a group of people who share the same ideas or opinions

    aim

    an aim is something that a person or group of people want to achieve

    through sport

    if you do something through another thing, you use that thing to achieve another. So here, the Olympic Movement is using sport to promote peace between nations

    runners-up

    here, the people who come second in a race or game. Usually a runner-up is a person or team who do not finish first but do win a prize

    a crown

    a circular ornament for the head, usually made of gold and jewels which Kings and Queens wear at official ceremonies

    went home empty-handed

    did not receive anything. This phrase is used here to show the difference between the early Games and the new Games where people who finish in third place receive a bronze medal

    Telephoning

    reason:

    You will often have telephone contact with a company before an interview. Some companies will even assess these phone calls as part of the selection process.

    Objective:

    To leave a positive impression, of someone who's capable and efficient.

    The basic problem

    Lots of research shows that the biggest impact in spoken-word communication is visual. Some researchers say it's as much as three-quarters of the total. Yet on the phone we don't have any of that. Our voice has to do all the work.

    If we want people at the other end to form a good impression of us, we need to give more thought to business phone calls than we do when we're just chatting to our friends.

    Your calling them

    There are two main possibilities.

    · The job advert asks you to ring the company for an application form.

    · Or, usually a little later in the process, you have to ring up and arrange a time for an interview.

    Either of these cases can be entirely straightforward – just a matter of getting a small administrative task done. But depending on who you speak to, there could also be questions of a sort you wouldn't otherwise expect until you fill in the application form or go for an interview.

    These could be either factual – «what's your educational background?» – or human – «what interested you particularly about this job?»

    It makes sense to be prepared before you make the call, just as you would before an interview.
