Past Simple
Подчеркивает регулярность действия или единичный факт в прошлом. Большинство глаголов (правильные глаголы) образуют эту форму добавлением окончания ’ed’. Формы неправильных глаголов приводятся в специальной таблице.
e.g. 1. We translated English texts yesterday. – Мы вчера переводили английские тексты.
2. He graduated from the university two years ago. – Он закончил университет 2 года назад.
В вопросительной и отрицательной форме в прошедшем времени ставится вспомогательный глагол did, а смысловой глагол употребляется в форме инфинитива без частицы to.
e.g. Did you live in London last year? – No, I didn’t. I didn’t (did not) live in London last year.
Этому времени часто сопутствуют следующие обстоятельства:
yesterday, the day before yesterday, yesterday morning (afternoon, evening), last week (month, year), two days (weeks, years) ago, in 1996.
Future Simple
Обозначает регулярное действие или единичный факт в будущем.
Образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола will для всех лиц и чисел + инфинитив смыслового глагола без частицы to. При вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол выносится на первое место.
e.g. 1.They will translate the text tomorrow. – Они переведут текст завтра.
2. Will you see him next week? – No, I won’t. I won’t see him next week.
I’ll see him tomorrow.
Этому времени часто сопутствуют следующие обстоятельства:
tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next Monday (week, month, year), in a day, some day, some other day/time.
Группа времен Continuous (Progressive)
Эта группа времен подчеркивает процесс, протекание действия в определенный момент или период времени в настоящем, прошедшем или будущем. Этот момент времени может быть выражен определенным часом или ситуацией: at the moment, now, at 5 o’clock, from 5 to (till) 6, today, this week (month, year), all the time (morning, evening), when he came, while I was reading the newspaper, т.е. когда два процесса происходят параллельно.
Общая формула образования трех времен группы Continuous:
-
to be (в соответствующем времени) + Participle I (-ing)
e.g. 1. He is reading a book now – Он читает книгу сейчас.
2. We were translating English texts from 6 till 8 o’clock yesterday. – Мы переводили английские тексты с 6 до 8 вечера вчера.
3. She will be giving a talk at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. – Она будет выступать с сообщением завтра в 9 часов утра.
Чтобы задать вопрос в этой группе срабатывает общее правило английского глагола: имеющийся вспомогательный глагол выносится на первое место.
e.g. Will she be giving a lecture at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning? – No, she won’t. She won’t be giving a lecture at that time.
Глаголы, выражающие чувства, восприятия, умственную деятельность обычно не употребляются в формах Continuous: to hear, to see, to know, to understand, to want, to (dis)like, to seem, to wish, to remember, to forget, to suppose, to believe.
e.g. Now I understand what you want to tell me. – Теперь я понимаю, что вы хотите мне сказать.
Present Continuous может использоваться для выражения будущего действия (особенно с глаголами движения: to go, to come, to start, to leave, to arrive):
e.g. 1. I’m leaving in five minutes. – Я ухожу через пять минут.
2. – What are you doing tonight? – Что ты делаешь сегодня вечером?
– I am going to the library. – Я иду в библиотеку.
В русском языке аналогично употребляется настоящее время в значении будущего. Эта форма выражения будущего действия близка по значению обороту ‘to be going to’ и отличается от него большей подготовленностью будущего действия, большей определенностью плана. Поскольку эта глагольная форма способна выразить как настоящее, так и будущее действие, употребляя ее, для ясности, часто добавляют соответствующие обстоятельства времени.
e.g. 1.The delegation is arriving tomorrow.
2. What are you doing tonight?
