Три времени и способы их выражения

В английском языке, как и во всех других языках, существует только три времени – настоящее (Present), прошедшее (Past) и будущее (Future).

В плоскости этих трёх времён существует три способа их выражения: Simple, Progressive, Perfect (см. Таблица 1).

SIMPLE TENSES – употребляется тогда, нас интересует только действие (или состояние).

PROGRESSIVE TENSES – тогда, когда нас интересует не так само действие, как время его протекания.

PERFECT TENSES – употребляется тогда, когда нас интересует не так само действие, как его соотнесённость с другим действием (его завершённость).

Эти отношения могут быть выражены в действительном залоге (Active Voice) и страдательном залоге (Passive Voice).

§ 1. ВРЕМЕНА ГРУППЫ SIMPLE

Времена группы Simple обозначают обычные, регулярно повторяющиеся действия, констатацию фактов в настоящем, прошедшем и будущем.

1. Theystudy at the University. (Present)

2. Theystudied at the University. (Past)

3. Theywill study at the University. (Future)

ПЕРЕВОД. Сказуемые во временах группы SIMPLE чаще всего переводятся глаголами несовершенного вида.

Что делаю?

Что делал?

Что буду делать?

e.g. He plays tennis every Sunday. = Он играет в теннис каждое воскресенье.

He played tennis last Sunday. = Он играл в теннис в прошлое воскресенье.

He will play tennis next Sunday. = Он будет играть в теннис в следующее воскресенье.

.Иногда сказуемые, употребляемые во временах группы SIMPLE, могут переводиться и глаголами совершенного вида. (Что сделал? Что сделаю?) E.g. He read an interesting book yesterday. = Он прочиталинтересную книгу вчера. He will write a letter to his sister. = Он напишетписьмо своей сестре.

На русский язык обе эти формы сослагательного наклонения переводятся одинаково, т.к. в русском языке существует всего лишь одна форма для выражения сослагательного наклонения в настоящем, прошедшем и будущем времени.

e.g. Если бы он не был занят, он бы позвонил тебе (сегодня, вчера, завтра).

Сослагательное наклонение употребляется в различных типах придаточных предложений:

а) придаточное подлежащее после оборотов типа

It is required (требуется)

It is necessary (необходимо)

It is important (важно)

It is possible (возможно)

should + V₁

e.g. It is possible that he should come in time. –

Возможно, что он придёт вовремя.

Infinitive

It is required that we be in town. –

Требуется, чтобы мы были в городе.

в) придаточное дополнительное после глаголов:

to order (приказывать)

to demand (требовать) которые употребляются

to suggest (предлагать) в главном предложении

to insist (настаивать)

to propose (предлагать)

should + V₃

e.g. They demand that she should discuss the problem with the dean.-

Они потребовали, чтобы она обсудила проблему с деканом.

Infinitive

I insist that you rewrite your composition. – Я настаиваю на

том, чтобы вы переписали своё сочинение.

c) придаточное дополнительное после глагола в значении «хотелось бы, чтобы …»; «жаль, что не …»

V₂

e.g. I wish he arrived next week. (одновременность действия) -

Жаль, что он не приедет на следующей неделе.

had + V₃

She wishes she had known his address. (предшествующее

действие) – Жаль, что она не знала его адреса.

d) придаточное обстоятельства цели после союзов:

so that; in order that - чтобы

lest – чтобы не

should + V₁

e.g. She wrote down my phone number lest she should forget it. –

Она записала мой номер телефона, чтобы не забыть его.

should+V₁

He came at 6 o’clock so that he should be the first. –

Он пришёл в 6 часов, чтобы быть первым.

e) придаточное предложение сравнения после союзов

as if если бы,

as though как будто бы

V₂

e.g. They behave as if they knew each other. (одновременность

действия) – Они ведут себя так, будто они знакомы.

had + V₃

You look as though you had never heard about it. (предшествующее действие) – Ты выглядишь так, как если бы никогда об этом не слышал.

Примечание. Глагол to be в сослагательном наклонении имеет форму were для всех лиц и чисел для выражения действий, относящихся к настоящему и будущему времени.

e.g. She wishes she were taller. – Жаль, что она невысокая.

If I were you, I wouldn’t do it. – Если бы я был на вашем

месте, я бы так не сделал.

УСЛОВНЫЕ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЯ

В английском языке существуют условные предложения 2 типов: реального и нереального условия.

В условных предложениях реального условия используется изъявительное наклонение; условие относится к настоящему или будущему времени.

I тип:

V₁ will+V₁

e.g. If I write a poem, I’ ll read it to you. – Если я напишу стихотво-

рение, я прочитаю его тебе.

В предложениях нереального условия выделяют 2 случая:

II тип:

- маловероятное условие, которое относится к настоящему или будущему времени.

V₂ would + V₁

e.g. If I wrote a poem, I would read it to you today. – Если бы я написал стихотворение, я бы прочитал его тебе сегодня.

III тип:

- нереальное, невыполнимое условие, которое относится к прошедшему времени.

had + V₃ would+have+V₃

e.g. If I had written a poem, I would have read it to you yesterday. –

Если бы я написал стихотворение, я бы прочитал его тебе

вчера..

Смешанный тип:

В предложениях такого типа условие, как правило, относится к прошедшему времени (3 тип), а результат этого действия к настоящему (2 тип).

e. g. If he had taken the medicine yesterday, he would feel much better today.

Если бы он принял вчера лекарство, он бы чувствовал себя лучше сегодня.

Кроме союза if (если) в условных предложениях используются союзы: provided (при условии), providing that (при условии), on condition that (при условии что), in case (в случае если), unless (если не).

Во всех типах условных предложений возможна бессоюзная связь главного предложения с придаточным, т.е. союзы опускаются. В этом случае предложение начинается со вспомогательного глагола:

e.g. If he had come earlier, he would have found the dean here. –

Если бы он пришёл раньше …

Had he come earlier, he would have found the dean here. –

Приди он раньше, он бы застал здесь декана.

РАЗДЕЛ 2. СИНТАКСИС

ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЕ

I. THE SIMPLE SENTENCE

ПРОСТОЕ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЕ

Сочетание слов, выражающее законченную мысль, называется предложением. Предложение является простым, если в нем есть одна грамматическая основа (подлежащее и сказуемое).

По цели высказывания простые предложения делятся на повествовательные, вопросительные и отрицательные.

К главным членам предложения относятся подлежащее (1) и сказуемое (2), к второстепенным – дополнение (4), обстоятельства (0, 5) и определение (3).

Пример: Yesterday you read the new text well.

0 1 2 3 4 5

Вчера вы читали новый текст хорошо.

Каждый из членов предложения может быть выражен одним словом, словосочетанием или группой слов.

I see a ship. – Я вижу корабль. Дополнение выражено одним словом.

I see a coast guard ship. – Я вижу корабль береговой охраны. Дополнение выражено словосочетанием.

I see a coast guard ship coming. – Я вижу, как приближается корабль береговой охраны. Дополнение выражено группой слов.

В русском языке грамматическая форма слов, а следовательно, его связь с другими словами в предложении выражены в основном окончаниями. Поэтому в русском языке изменение порядка слов в предложении не вызывает изменения смысловых отношений между членами предложения.

Рыбак поймал щуку.

Щуку поймал рыбак.

Рыбак щуку поймал.

В английском языке мало грамматических окончаний, суффиксов, и отношения между членами предложения выражаются главным образом при помощи строго определенного порядка слов. Поэтому произвольное перемещение слов в английском предложении приводит к изменению смысла предложения, а иногда и к бессмыслице.

Рыбак поймал щуку. – The fisherman caught the pike.

Щука поймала рыбака. – The pike caught the fisherman.

Таким образом, в английском языке именно порядок слов указывает на то, как слова связаны между собой в предложении.

Для английского языка характерен следующий порядок слов:

0 1 2 3 4 5

обстоятельство подлежащее сказуемое определение дополнение обстоятельство

In the morning I saw a big ship in the dock.

Утром я видел большой корабль в порту.

Порядок слов, при котором сказуемое (2) следует за подлежащим (1) называется прямым, и оно характерно для повествовательного предложения.

My brother (1) is (2) a post-graduate student now.

При обратном порядке слов сказуемое находится перед подлежащим, это характерно для вопросительного предложения:

Is my brother a post-graduate student now?

В зависимости от структуры вопросительные предложения бывают различных типов, выделяют общие вопросы, альтернативные вопросы, специальные вопросы, разделительные вопросы.

общий вопрос (относится ко всему предложению):

Is your brother a post-graduate student now?

альтернативный вопрос (предполагает выбор из двух предметов):

Is your brother or sister a post-graduate student now?

специальные вопросы (относятся к одному из членов предложения):

Who is a post-graduate student now?

Whose brother is a post-graduate student now?

What kind of student is your brother?

разделительный вопрос (предполагает переспрос «не так ли?»):

Your brother is a post-graduate student now, isn’t he?

Английский язык, в отличие от русского, избегает грамматической избыточности. Если русское отрицательное предложение обычно имеет несколько отрицательных частиц, то в английском предложении может быть только одно отрицание.

Пример: Никто о нем ничего не знает.

Возможно 3 перевода этого русского предложения:

Nobody knows anything about him.

Anybody knows nothing about him.

Anybody doesn’t know anything about him.

Таким образом, в английском языке отрицательную форму может иметь глагол-сказуемое, а также любой другой член предложения (местоимение, наречие).

УПРАЖНЕНИЯ

Упражнение 1. Определите тип предложения согласно цели высказывания.

Laura was terribly nervous. Tossing the velvet ribbon over her shoulder, she said to a woman standing by, “Is this Mrs. Scott’s house?” and the woman, smiling queerly, said, “It is, my dear.” She said “Help me, God” as she walked up the tiny path and knocked. I’ll just leave the basket and go, she decided. I won’t even wait for it to be emptied!

Then the door opened. A little woman in black showed in the gloom. Laura said, “Are you Mrs. Scott?” But to her horror, the woman answered, “Walk in, please, miss,” and she was shut in the passage. “No,” said Laura, “I don’t want to come in! I only want to leave my basket!”

The little woman in the gloomy passage seemed not to hear her. “Step this way, please, miss,” she said in an oily voice, and Laura followed her.
