6.VERBUL211. Infinitivele verbelor se formeaza cu particula to, exemple:

To eat - a mancaTo sleep a dormiTo think a gandiTo read - a citiTo talk - a vorbiTo drink - a bea

212. Exceptii can, may, must, shall, will, ought to care nu primesc particula toEle se numesc verbe modale.si sunt o categorie aparte de verbe

213. De asemenea verbele se impart in regulate si neregulate.Verbele neregulate isi schimba radacina la anumite timpuri, si ele trebuie invatate in trei variante.Prima este verbul la infinitiv, apoi radacina pt past tense si apoi radacina pt toate timpurile numite perfecte.Exemplu:

to be - was - been

214. Verbe auxiliareTo be - a fiTo have - a aveaTo do - a face

Aceste verbe pe langa sensurile de mai sus construiesc timpuri compuse (asa cum a avea in romana formeaza de exemplu am alergat care nu inseamna ca: eu posed un alergat, cum ai zice am mere, adica am isi pierde sensul cunoscut)

215. To be - a fi

I am - Eu suntYou are - Tu estiHe is - El esteShe is - Ea esteWe are - Noi suntemYou are - Voi suntetiThey are - Ei sunt

216. To have - a avea

I have - Eu amYou have - Tu aiHe has - El areShe has - Ea areWe have - Noi avem

You have - Voi avetiThey have - Ei au

217. To do - a face

I do - Eu facYou do - Tu faciHe do - El faceShe do - Ea faceWe do - Noi facemYou do - Voi facetiThey do - Ei fac

218. Verbele nu au in engleza timpuri corespunzatoare celor din limba romana.In engleza trebuie precizat daca o actiune e in desfasurare la un anumit moment prezent trecut, viitor sau daca exista fara sa fie in desfasurare.

De exemplu daca cineva iti spune: Lucrez la un proiect.Ce inseamna? Ca lucreaza in fiecare zi un timp la acel proiect?Ca lucreaza acum dar a facut o pauza, poate l-ai intrerupt tu?

219. I work - Eu lucrez.

I work on a project - Lucrez la un proiect.Poate fi un raspuns la intrebarea Cu ce te ocupi? I work on a project, everyday - Lucrez la un proiect zi de ziPoate fi o afirmatie.Acest timp se numeste Present Tense.

220. I am working

Daca actiunea a inceput si e in desfasurare fara sa fie insa ceva intrat in rutina, adica va avea un final se zice I am working Acest timp se numeste Present Continuous Dupa cum vom vedea nu orice verb accepta acest timp

221. Insa si acest mod de exprimare lasa loc pentru confuzie

I am working on a project inseamna fie ca lucrez la un proiect in clipa asta, fie ca am un proiect mare la care lucrez de mai mult timp, dar care nu e munca mea obisnuita.De aceea daca acum lucrezi, e bine sa se precizeze I am worknig on a project (right) now - ...chiar acum. Desi chiar si aceasta exprimare lasa loc pentru neintelegeri.

222. To talk - a vorbiPresent tense este:

I talk - Eu vorbescYou talk - Tu vorbestiHe talks - El votbsteShe talks - Ea vorbeste

We talk - Noi vorbimYou talk - Voi vorbitiThey talk - Ei vorbesc

232. Vorbitorii nativi de limba engleza cateodata fac jocuri de cuvinte in care regulile gramaticale pot fi incalcate.Aceste abateri insa nu pot fi create decat de nativi, ceilalti oameni trebuie sa respecte regulile de gramatica, daca vor sa fie siguri ca nu gresesc sau ca ceilalti nu le vad inventiile lingvistice doar ca pe niste greseli.

I will have been lifted - Eu voi fi fost ridicatYou will have been lifted - Tu vei fi fost ridicatHe will have been lifted - El va fi fost ridicatShe will have been lifted - Ea va fi fost ridicataWe will have been lifted - Noi vom fi fost ridicatiYou will have been lifted - Voi veti fi fost ridicatiThey will have been lifted - Ei, Ele vor fi fost ridicati

301. Diateza Pasiva - Perfect Continuous TensesI have been lifting cratesI had been lifting cratesI will have been lifting crates

Aceste timpuri devin foarte complicate la diateza pasiva, asa ca nu se folosesc.

302. Modul conditional exista si in engleza si in romana:

I would fly if I had wings. - As zbura daca as avea aripi.As zbura (I would fly) e conditionalul prezentAs zbura - I would fly e conditionalul prezent

303. Conditionalul Prezent ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele:

I would fly - Eu as zburaYou would fly - Tu ai zburaHe would fly - El ar zburaShe would fly - Ea ar zburaWe would fly - Noi am zburaYou would fly - Voi ati zburaThey would fly - Ei, Ele ar zbura

304. I shall do this are la conditional echivalentul I should do thisiarI will do this are la conditional echivalentul I would do this

would si should nu inseamna acelasi lucru:shall implica o promisiune - should inseamna ar trebuiI would inseamna as vrea

Tom: I shall win the race! - Voi castiga cursa!Bill: You should!- Ar trebui (ar fi cazul)

Tom: I will call you!- Am sa va sun!Bill I know you would (like to call us), but... - Stiu ca ai vrea sa ne suni, dar...

305. La diateza pasiva ca si la diateza activa conditionalul nu se schimba in functie de persona (You, he, she etc)

I would be asked by my teacher - As fi intrebat de profesoara.

306. Conditionalul prezent continuuI, you...would be flying.

They are flying a kite - Ei inalta un zmeu prezent continuu.They would be flying a kite if there was wind - Ei ar inalta un zmeu daca ar avea vant conditionalul la prezent continuu.

307. Conditionalul prezent continuu inlocuieste conditionalul prezent in aceleasi cazuri in care prezentul continuu inlocuieste prezentul.

If he were here, he would be answering your questions, as we speak - Daca era aici, v-ar fi raspuns la intrebari chiar acum (in timpul acesta in care va vorbesc). iar la prezentBecause he is here he is answeing questions, right now - Pentru ca e aici, el raspunde chiar acum la intrebari

308. Si Conditionalul Prezent Continuu ca si consditionalul prezent ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele.

I would be flyingYou would be flyingHe would be flyingShe would be flyingWe would be flyingYou would be flyingThey would be flying

309. Conditionalul Prezent Continuu nu are forma pasiva.

310. Conditionalul Trecut e de forma:

I would have asked - Eu as fi intrebatsauI should have asked - Ar fi trebuit sa intreb

311. Conjugarea Conditionalului trecut e neschimbata la toate persoaneleIn cazul verbelor neregulate se foloseste forma a treia

I would have askedYou would have askedHe would have askedShe would have askedWe would have askedYou would have askedThey would have asked

312. Diateza pasiva - Conditionalul TrecutCa si pana acum nici aceasta forma nu se schimba in functie de persoana (You, he, she etc)

I would have been asked by my teacher - As fi fost intrebat de profesoara mea.

313. Conditionalul trecut continuuI, you...would have been flying.

They were flying a kite - Ei inaltau un zmeu - trecut continuu.They would have been flying a kite if there had been wind - Ei ar fi inaltat un zmeu daca ar fi avut vant - conditionalul la trecut continuu.

314. Conditionalul trecut continuu inlocuieste conditionalul trecut in aceleasi cazuri in care trecutul continuu inlocuieste trecutul.

He would have been doing jail time if the law hadn't changed - Ar fi facut puscarie daca nu s-ar fi schimbat legea.

315. Conditionalul trecut continuu ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele

I would have been flyingYou would have been flyingHe would have been flyingShe would have been flyingWe would have been flyingYou would have been flyingThey would have been flying

316. Conditionalul Trecut Continuu nu are forma pasiva.

317. Propozitiile care contin conditionale contin deasemeni de multe ori prin natura lor conjunctia daca.Aceste propozitii au forma:Daca A atunci B - If A then BDaca A, B - If A, BB daca A - B if A.Aceste propozitii care contin o conditie se numesc conditionale.In engleza, ele au anumite reguli pentru timpurile verbelor din cadrul lor.Ele se numesc If Clauses

If I go to school then I will learn a lot - Daca ma duc la scoala atunci voi invata multesauIf I go to school, I will learn a lotsauI will learn a lot if I go to school - Voi invata multe daca ma duc la scoala).

318. If Clauses - Regula nr1Daca B e la viitor dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune prezentul

If you let me in, I will give you a package - Daca ma lasi sa intru iti dau un pachet sauI will give you a package if you let me in - Iti dau un pachet daca ma lasi sa intru

319. If Clauses - Regula nr2Daca B contine connditionalul prezent dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune past tense

If I met her I would tell her - Daca as intalni-o, i-as spuneI would tell her, if I met her - I-as spune, daca as intalni-o

320. Exceptie - Regula nr2Verbul to be la toate persoanele devine were

If I were happy I would clap my hands - Daca as fi fericit as bate din palme

321. If Clauses - Regula nr3Daca B contine connditionalul trecut dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune past perfect

If I had gone by ship I would have been shipwrecked too - Daca ma duceam cu vaporul as fi fost si eu naufragiat.

322. Pentru aceste reguli valabile pentru IF clauses trebuie sa verificam ca fraza contine un if clause adica contine daca...atunci - if...then.Regulile se aplica numai atunci cand.daca introduce o propozitie conditionala.Asa cum am vazut then poate sa lipseasca din propozitie dar existenta lui then trebuie sa se subinteleaga, chiar daca nu exista in fraza.

I don't know if he will come - Nu stiu daca el va veniAceasta propozitie nu este echivalenta cu: Daca el va veni atunci nu stiu.Deci nu este un if clause.

323. Modul subjonctiv (sau conjunctiv) exista si in engleza si in romana:In engleza moderna modul subjonctiv nu este folosit mult.

Sa fiu eu acolo, acest lucru nu s-ar intampla - If I were there this would not happenSa fi fost eu acolo, acest lucru nu s-ar fi intamplat. - Had I been there this would not have happenedSa fiu este subjonctivul prezent al lui a fi.Sa fi fost este subjonctivul trecut al lui a fi.

324. Subjonctivul prezent cere that in propozitia secundara. Subjonctivul prezent in engleza pune la toate persoanele verbul la infinitiv.

It is required that he pass the exam - Se cere ca el sa ia examenulsiIt was required that he pass the exam - Se cerea ca el sa ia examenuldesi prezentul estehe passes the exam

325. Zicem insa

Everyone knows that he passes exams Toata lumea stie ca el ia examenele

Deci limba romana ne ajuta in acest caz deoarece pe romaneste e mai clar ca in cazul doi nu folosim subjonctivul.

326. Subjonctivul prezent in englezeste exprima dorinte sau cerinte prezente sau trecute.

I want that you come at 6 o'clock - Vreau ca tu sa vii la 6.I would like that you come at 6 o'clock. - Mi-ar placea ca tu sa vii la ora sase.Mult mai normal era insaI would like you to come at six o'clock (Mi-ar placea tu a veni la 6.)

327. Subjonctivul trecut nu se deosebeste ca forma de past tense in majoritatea cazurilor, insa el exprima prezentul.El foloseste fie if - daca fie to wish.Folosirea acestui subjonctiv urmeaza regula nr2 din if clause

If I owned a car, I would leave tommorow.- Sa am o masina as pleca maine.pe romaneste insa se zice mai multDaca as avea o masina as pleca maineceea ce e si mai direct de tradus.

328. Subjonctivul trecut urmeaza si exceptia regulii nr2 din if clause

If I were a singer I would sing all day - Daca as fi cantaret as canta toata ziua.in ziua de azi insa veti auzi de multe ori:If I was a singer - Daca as fi cantaret

329. Un alt caz pentru subjonctivul trecut este atunci cand se foloseste verbul to wish - a dori in principala

I wish you were here - As vrea sa fii aiciI wish he were here - As vrea sa fie aicidar se spune siI wish he was here - As vrea sa fie aiciI wish I was a millionaire - As vrea sa fiu milionar.

330. Subjonctivul mai mult ca perfectexprima cu adevarat un timp trecut. El foloseste Past Perfect

Sa ma fi dus ieri, cumparam bilete la spectacol. - If I had gone yesteday, I would've bought tickets to the show

331. Subjonctivul mai mult ca perfect se poate exprima si omitand if si inversand locul pronumelui (subiectului) cu verbul auxiliar had

Sa ma fi dus ieri, cumparam bilete la spectacol. - Had I gone yesteday, I would've bought tickets to the showHad Farmer Jones known, he would've harvested sooner. - Sa fi stiut Fermierul Jones, ar fi recoltat mai devreme.

332. Subjonctivul viitor se formeza astfel:

If I were to pass the exam I would be ecstatic - Sa trec examenul as fi in culmea fericirii.

333. In englezeste am vazut ca subjonctivul se foloseste daca verbul din principala exprima o dorinta sau o cerere.Insa constructia cu conjunctia that intre propozitii apare in multe alte situatiiIn aceste situatii regulile pentru subjonctiv nu sunt valabile

SubjonctivI wish (that) he pass the class - Imi doresc ca el sa treaca clasa

I wish (that) he were more determined - Mi-as dori sa fie mai hotaratNu contine subjonctivI see (that) he studies nowadays - Vad ca el studiaza zilele asteaI think (that) in the past he was lazy - Cred ca in trecut era lenes

334. Cand vorbim de acuzativ cu infinitiv verbul din secundara se pune la infinitiv iar pronumele (sau substantivul) la acuzativ.Acuzativul cu infinitiv de multe ori (dar nu totdeauna) se traduce in romaneste cu ajutorul subjonctivului.

I want you to go there in loc de I want that you go there.

335. Sa comparam aceste doua forme trecand pronumele al doilea prin toate persoanele.Vedem aceata constructie de verb (wants) + acuzativ (me/you etc) + infinitiv (to go)

Emily wants that I go there - Emily wants me to go there Emily wants that you go there - Emily wants you to go there Emily wants that he go there - Emily wants him to go there Emily wants that she go there - Emily wants her to go there Emily wants that Jake go there - Emily wants Jake to go there Emily wants that we go there - Emily wants us to go there Emily wants that you go there - Emily wants you to go there Emily wants that they go there - Emily wants them to go there

336. Nu orice verb in propozitia principala permite folosirea acuzativului cu infinitivulUrmatoarele verbe sunt doar cateva dintre cele ce NU permit aceasta.

to fall, to run, to talk.

337. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:1. Verbe care exprima dorinta: (to wish, to want, to like)

I wish him to speak - Doresc ca el sa vorbeascaI wish to speak. - Doresc (ca eu) sa vorbesc - Ca si in romaneste cand ambele propozitii au acelelasi pronume al doilea cadeThey would like me to talk about my hometown - Le-ar place ca eu sa vorbesc despre orasul meu natal

338. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:2.Verbe care exprima obligatii: (to make, to cause, to induce)

You made him cry! (fara to) - L-ai facut sa planga!The crisis caused the stock market to fall (cu to)- Criza a facut ca bursa sa cadaThe teacher induced the little boy to sing (cu to) - Profesoara l-a convins pe baietel sa cante

339. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:3.Verbe senzoriale (to hear, to see, to notice, to feel, to watch)Aceasta categorie de verbe nu are to.

I felt him lose his cool - L-am simtit cum isi pierde fireaHe watched the plane vanish in the clouds - A privit avionul disparand in nori.I heard him come in. - L-am auzit intrandI will see the teams compete.- Voi vedea echipele intrecandu-se.He will notice you sing well - Va observa ca tu canti bine.

340. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:3.Verbe care exprima activitatea mintala (to think, to consider, to understand)

I think him to be a great writer. - Cred ca el e un mare scriitor.I think (that) he is a great writer - era mai directThey consider him to be the future king - Il considera pe el (sa fie) viitorul regeHe understood her to be a shy person.- El a inteles-o pe ea sa fie o persoana timida

341. Nominativul unei propozitii este subiectul, un pronume sau un substantiv.In anumite situatii in propozitii poate exista un nominativ si un infinitiv intre ele fiind intercalat predicatul propozitiei.Aceasta constructie poarta numele de nominativul cu infinitivul

I want to run - Vreau sa alerg.

342. Acesta constructie e posibila pentru anumite verbe aflate la pasiv (to make, to say, to know, to believe)

He was made to apologize by the teacher - A fost pus sa isi ceara scuze de catre profesoaraThat farmer is said to have many acres of land - Fermierul acela se zice ca are multi acri de pamantMy grandmother was known to help people. - Bunica mea era cunoscuta ca ajuta oameniiDuring the war he was believed to be dead. - In timpul razboiului el era crezut mort

343. Nominativul cu infinitivul se poate folosi pentru verbele to happen, to seem, to appear, to prove.

They happen to be my cousins - Ei sunt verii meiYour friend seemed to have many plans for the future.- Prietenul tau parea sa aiba multe planuri de viitorThe dog appeared to bark on command - Cainele parea sa latre la poruncaI will prove to be worthy of your trust - Voi dovedi ca sunt demn de increderea voastra.

344. Nominativul cu infinitivul se poate folosi pentru verbul to be urmat de sure, certain sau likely

He is sure to remember the incident - El cu siguranta isi aminteste de incidentYou are certain to be in the play - Esti cu siguranta in piesaShe is likely to succeed.- Ea are sanse sa castige.

345. Pe langa folosirea terminatiei ing la conjugarea continua, aceasta se foloseste si in alte situatii pe post de substantiv, adjectiv sau verb.Dupa rolul jucat in propozitie aceasta forma se numeste fie gerunziu fie participiu prezent.

SubstantivReading is for everybody - Cititul e pentru toata lumeaAdjectivI am part of a reading club - Fac parte dintr-un club de cititVerbI enjoy reading - Imi place sa citescI found him reading - L-am gasit citind

346. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea substantivelor

Take your belongings! - Ia-ti lucrurile!Skiing is dangerous - Schiatul e periculosCatching trout is hard. - Prinderea de pastravi e grea.

347. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea adjectivelor

The fishing boat needs repairs - Barca de pescuit necesita reparatii. - The tanning salon is closed - Salonul de brozat e inchisThe cleaning solution is toxic. - Solutia de curatat e toxica

348. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea verbelor

I like painting - Imi place sa pictezI imagine him studying all day - Mi-l imaginez invatand toata ziuaI saw your parrot flying in my garden - L-am vazut pe papagalul tau zburand la mine in gradina

349. De multe ori aceste propozitii ce contin forma ING se pot reformula, daca dorim.Daca insa suntem siguri de formulare, ele nu trebuie evitate

Do you mind my smoking devine Do you mind if I smoke?The cleaning solution is toxic. - The solution used for cleaning is toxicI like painting - I like to paint

350. Forma cu ING se poate folosi si in locul expresiilor de forma substantiv care verb care se transforma in adjectiv verb

fata care canta - the girl that singsthe ball that bounces - mingea care sarethe man that sleeps - barbatul care doarmedevinthe singing girlthe bouncing balthe sleeping man

Sleeping beauty - Frumoasa adormitaJumping bean - fasole sariroare (o varietate de fasole)

351. Spre deosebire de alte adjective, aceste adjective cu ing pot fi puse dupa substantiv.Ele se scriu cu cratima.Insa sensul expresiei se schimba:

eatimg man - barbat care manancaman-eating - care mananca barbati (oameni)

hunting fox - vupe care vaneazafox hunting - vanatoare de vulpi

fishing boat - barca de pescuitboat-fishing - care pescuieste barci

diving sky - cer care plonjezasky-diving - care plonjeaza din cer

352. Exista si adjective compuse in care primul cuvant e un substantiv si al doilea un adjectiv format cu ing.Impreuna insa ele formeaza un nou adjectiv.

jaw-dropping performance - prestatie extraordinarajaw-dropping - care cade falcamind-boggling idea - idee uluioaremind-boggling - care zapaceste minteaeye-popping stunt - cascadorie fantasticaeye-popping - care scoate ochii

353. Asa cum am vazut subjonctivul englez e folosit mult mai rar ca in romana.In engl el are numai rolul de a exprima dorinte, cereri pe cand in romana orice verb are subjonctiv.In multe cazuri subjonctivul romanesc in englezeste se traduce printr-un verb cu forma cu ing

Before eating some people pray. - Inainte sa manance unii oameni se roagaInstead of crying over spilt milk buy some more milk. - In loc sa plangi dupa laptele varsat, mai cumpara lapteThey began working - Ei au inceput sa lucrezeI like starting new things - Imi place sa incep lucruri noiI think seeing a movie is the best idea. - Cred ca sa vedem un film e cea mai buna idee.

354. Ca si in romana (unde totusi in ziua de azi nu e uzual) subjonctivul (forma cu ing in engleza) poate fi inlocuit cu infinitivulAceasta formulare in engleza e mult folosita, in continuare.Unele verbe primesc aceasta inlocuire altele nu.Uhele nu accepta forma ci ing, si in schimb accepta infinitivulTotul depinde de predicatul propozitiei.

RomanesteVreau sa pictez - Vreau a pictaEnglezesteCazuri cand se foloseste numai infinitivulI want to sing - Vreau sa cantHe decided to come - Ahotarat sa vinaCazuri cand se foloseste numai forma cu ingHe mentioned seeing the movie - A mentionat ca a vazut filmulCazuri cand se foloseste oricare formaI started to belive/believing him - Am inceput sa il credI tried to finish/finishing this - Am incercat sa termin aceasta

355. Verbe care sunt folosite numai cu infinitivul:

afford, agree, aim, appear, arrange, ask, attempt, care, choose, claim, consent, dare, decide, decline, demand, desire, determine, endeavour, expect, fail, fight, grow, guarantee, happen, hasten, help, hesitate, hope, learn, long, manage, neglect, offer, plan, pledge, prepare, pretend, proceed, promise, prove, reckon, refuse, resolve, scorn, seek, seem, strive, struggle, swear, tend, threaten, trouble, undertake, venture, volunteer, vote, vow, wait, wish, would like

356. Verbe care sunt folosite numai cu forma cu ING:

357. Lista de verbe dupa care poate veni un verb si la infinitiv si la forma cu ING:

advise, allow, attempt, begin, bother, cease, come, continue, deserve, dread, fear, forbid, forget, go on, hate, hear, intend, like, love, mean, need, permit, prefer, propose, recommend, regret, remember, require, see, start, stop, try, want, be afraid (of/to), be ashamed (of/to), be sorry(for/to), can't bear, can't stand, care (for/to)

358. Desi aceste verbe permit ambele forme sensul celor doua forme cateodata difera.

He forgot to learn - A uitat sa inveteHe forgot learning - A uitat ca a invatatHe remembered to pay - A tinut minte sa plateascaHe remembered paying - Si-a amintit ca a platitShe stopped to talk - S-a oprit sa vorbeascaShe stopped talking - S-a oprit din vorbitI like to ski - Im place sa schiezI like skiing - Imi place schiatul

359. Aceste reguli se refera la verbe care vin dupa alte verbe. Un verb singur poate fi totdeauna la infinitiv sau la forma cu ING.

To err is human, to forgive is divine. - Erring is human forgiving is divineadicaA gresi e omeneste, a ierta e dumnezeieste - Sa gresim e omeneste sa iertam e dumnezeieste.Fiindca sunt doua propozitii ele nu se influenteaza una pe alta. Daca ziceam:To forgive erring people is divine - A ierta oameni care gresesc e divin, atunci to err trebuia pus la gerunziu fiindca to forgive cerea acest lucru.Observatii:1. Proverbul este: To err is human, to forgive divine.2. Azi se zice to make a mistake nu to err

360. Forma cu ING se foloseste dupa anumite prepozitii:

After writing the letter I mailed it. - Dupa ce am scris scrisoarea am expediat-oOn hearing this she started to laugh - Auzind aceasta ea a inceput sa rada

361. Lista de prepozitii care cer forma cu ING atunci cand se foloseste un verb dupa eleagainst, at, after, by, on, instead of , talk about, tired of, without

We are against bombing other countries - Suntem impotriva bombardarii altor tariAt seeing this, he cried - Vazand aceasta, el a plansAfterfinishing the paper I went to bed - Dupa ce am terminat lucrarea m-am dus la culcareBy passing this round I am now qualified for the final - Trecand d aceasta runda, m-am calificat pentru finale.On meeting the president he was speechless - La intalnirea cu presedintele el a ramas fara cuvinte lui deInstead of going to the circus, let's go to the zoo.- In loc sa mergem la circ hai sa mergem la zoo.Let's talk about catching rhinos - Hai sa vorbim despre prinderea de rinoceriI am tired of hearing about this. - M-am saturat sa aud de astaHe left without saying a word - A plecat fara sa zica un cuvant

362. Cateva exemple de propozitii care in romaneste se traduc cu ca, dar care in engleza folosesc tot forma cu ING:

I remember seeing him - Imi amintesc ca l-am vazutI admit telling her - Recunosc ca i-am spusI swear telling the truth - Jur ca am spus adevarulcu traduceri exacteI remember that I saw himI admit that I told herI swear that I told the truth

363. Participiul trecut al verbului to break e broken (a treia forma din lista de verbe neregulate).Ca si in romana participiul trecut al unei actiuni poate deveni adjectiv care sugereaza o insusire dobandita in trecut.

Breaking news - Stiri foarte noi (care sparg) - foloseste participiul prezentbreakinginsaBroken arm - Mana rupta (sparta) - foloseste participiul trecut broken

364. Exemple de adjective provenite din participiul trecut

melted ice - gheata care s-a topitmelting ice - gheata care se topeste

sunken treasure - comoara ingropataforgotten facts - fapte uitatecolored eggs - oua vopsitefattened calf - vitelul ingrasatburnt bread - paine arsaheated cofee - cafea incalzita

365. Participiul Trecut poate fi folosit si fara sa fie adjectiv.Pentru noi ca romani e mai directa si de preferat aceasta constructie, pentru cei ce nu sunt avansati.

A building, damaged by the earthquake, was torn down.- O cladire, avariata de cutremur, a fost demolatamai englezeste ar fi fostAn earthquake damaged building was torn downA man, hit by a ball, started yelling - Un barbat, lovit de o minge, a inceput sa strige.

366. Participiul Perfect reprezinta o actiune terminata care duce la o alta actiune.Se formeaza din having si participiul trecut al verbului.

Having finished the project she went for a walk. - Terminand(Deoarece terminase) proiectul, ea s-a dus sa se plimbe.Having spent all his money, the student called home. - Deoarece isi cheltuise toti banii, studentul a sunat acasa.

367. Imperativul in limba englezaAcest timp se foloseste in comenzi, sugestii, instructiuni, invitatii.Daca nu e insotitt de Please - te rog ca si in romana de multe ori e nepoliicosSubiectul imperativului e subinteles, si se foloseste rar.Cand persoana e specificata prin nume, acesta se pune sau la inceputul sau (de preferinta) la sfarsitul propozitiei.

Nepoliticos:Shut up! Taci din gura!Get out! - Iesi afara! Politicos!Please be quiet!Please, leave! - Te rog pleaca! Se zice:

Come on! - Haide!Andrew! Come on! - Andrew!Hide!Come on, Andrew! - Haide, Andrew

368. Cazurile de imperativ din engleza sunt asemenea limbii romane, anume se foloseste persoana a 2a la toate verbele in afara lui to beIn cazul verbului to be - a fi la imperativ< se pastreaza forma de infinitiv.

Andrew merge. - Andrew walks. (pers.a 3a)Andrew, mergi! - Andrew walk!(pers.a 2a)darAndrew este atent. - Andrew is careful.Andrew fii atent! - Andrew be careful!

Observatie:Be careful! inseamna Fii atent la ce faci. Fii atent! la lectie se zice Pay attention!

369. Alta construcitie a imperativului des intalnita, este folosind verbul to let - a lasaPentru orice verb care accepta o asemenea constructie Let'ssau Let us inseamna Hai sa

Open the door and let me come in! - Deschide usa si lasa-ma sa intru!Let me in! - lasa-ma sa intru!Let me go! - Da-mi drumul!Let us pray - Sa ne rugamLet's play! - Hai sa ne jucamLet's eat! - Hai sa mancamLet's dance! - Hai sa dansam!Ok, let's! - Bine, hai!

370. Cateodata se pune Do in fata infinitivului pentru a il face mai politicos.Cand punem Do nu mai punem Please - Te rogDo nu se foloseste decat in contexte deja politicoase.Daca se spune cuiva: Sweep the floor! atunci e mai bine sa se foloseasca Please! - Please, sweep the floor!

Do, come in! - Intrati!Do, be quiet - Te rog liniste!Do, sit down - Te rog, ia loc!Do, come see me!- Te rog, mai treci pe la mine!

371. Alte exemple de imperativ:

Take the first turn right. - Ia-o pe prima la dreapta.Hurry up!- Grabeste-te!Watch out! - Pazea!Watch it! - Vezi cum vorbesti!Have a good time! - Distractie placuta!Have fun! - Distractie placuta

Sleep well! - Dormi bine (Somn usor)Brace yourself - Imbarbateaza-te!Get a grip - Aduna-te!Hang in there! - Rezista!

374. Negativul unui verb care nu e la un timp compus Acesta se formeaza cu ajutorul verbului auxiliar to do:

Nu lucrez noaptea - I do not work at nightNu stiu unde e - I do not know where it isNu m-a intrebat pe mine - He did not ask me.

375. Daca timpul este compus se foloseste numai not

Nu lucrez acum - I am not working now I will not work tommorow - Nu voi lucra maineI haven't been working for weeks - Nu am nai lucrat de saptamani.I have not been to Australia - Nu am fost in Australia

376. Atunci cand folosim Past Tense care nu e un timp compus si deci negatia contine do, do se pune la trecut nu verbul.Deasemenea do la prezent devine does la persoana a 3a singular

I did not wash my hands - Nu m-am spalat pe maini.He does not know me - Nu ma cunoasteWe did not see him there - Nu l-am vazut acolo.

377. Do not se contracta in don't. Did not in didn't

They should not buy a new carThey shouldn't buy a new carNu e nevoie sa-si cumpere o masina noua

399. Forma interogativa a verbului to beSe formeaza prin inversarea verbului cu subiectul, ca si in romaneste.I am happy - Eu sunt fericit(a)Am I happy? - Sunt eu fericita?

400. Spre deosebire de romana, in engleza se poate zice Am I? sau chiar I am?.Dar cele doua au intelesuri diferite.I am? exprima mirare si bucurie.Am I? exprima indoiala.De exemplu:

You are in the top ten. - Esti intre primii zece.I am? - Da?

You are not in the top ten. - Nu esti intre primii zece.Oh, I'm not? - O, nu?

You are so happy! - Esti asa de fericit!Am I? - Zau?

You are not smart! - Nu esti destept!I'm not, am I? - Nu sunt, nu? (ironic)

402. Interogativul in cazul timpurilor necompuse (Present Tense si Past Tense)Atunci cand propozitia contine alt verb decat to be (si nu contine un verb modal) iar verbul nu e la o forma compusa, interogativul se formeaza cu ajutorul verbului auxiliar to do NU se face inversarea verbului cu subiectul ca in cazul lui to be.You work at night - Lucrezi noaptea.You drive - Conduci.I know you - Te cunoscThey all live in a yellow submarine - Ei locuiesc toti intr-un submarin galben.

Lucrezi noaptea? - Do you work at night?Do you drive? - Conduci?Do I know you? - Te cunosc?Do they all live in a yellow submarine?- Locuiesc ei toti intr-un submarin galben?

403. Aunci cand in intrebari se cere folosirea verbului to do acesta preia persoana si timpul verbului de baza.Astfel persoana a treia a verbului pierde litera s si la orice persoana verbul ramane la infinitiv.He plays cards - El joaca cartiShe rides horses - Ea calareste cai.My green parrot flies well - Papagalul meu verde zboara bine.You did my homework - Ti-ai facut temele.

Does he play cards? - El joaca carti?Does she ride horses? - Ea calareste?Does your green parrot fly well? - Zboara bine papagalul tau verde?

Did you play cards? - Tu ai jucat carti?Did she play cards? - Ea a jucat carti?Did they ride horses - Au calarit ei cai? Did your geen parrot fly well? - Zbura bine papagalul tau verde?Did you do your homework - Ti-ai facut temele?

404. La interogatii daca timpul este compus do nu se foloseste dar se schimba ordinea pronumelui cu primul auxiliar.

You had eaten enough. - Mancasei destul.She has always come home for Christmas.- Totdeauna a venit acasa de Craciun.You have been jogging lately - Ai facut jogging in ultimul timp.We will overcome - Vom invinge.. The cowboy is riding in the moonlight. - Cowboyul calareste in lumina lunii.

405. Propozitii interogative fara inversareYou work tonight - Lucrezi disearaDo you work tonight - Lucrezi diseara?Se poate spune siYou are working tonight? (deci fara inversare, dar nu este propriu-zis o intrebare, exprima mirarea (You work tonight !?!)

432. Which - Care
