Будущее в прошедшем в английском языке

1. В английском языке есть особые формы для выражения действий, которые представляются будущими с точки зрения прошлого. Они называются формами “the Future in the Past” и образуются с помощью вспомогательных глаголов should и would с соответствующим инфинитивом (без to):

- the Future Indefinite in the Past - should / would work

- the Future Continuous in the Past - should / would be working

- the Future Perfect in the Past - should / would have worked

- the Future Perfect Continuous in the Past - should / would have been working

2. The Future-in-the Past Tense употребляется для выражения будущих действий, о которых шла речь в прошедшем времени. Все три формы будущего в прошедшем употребляются в тех же значениях, как и обычные формы будущего времени, с той только разницей что действие в этом случае представляется будущим не с момента речи в настоящем, а с какого-нибудь момента в прошлом. Грамматическое значение английских глаголов в формах будущее в прошедшем в русском языке передают глаголами в будущем времени:

Ex.: We knew that we should manage somehow. – Мы знали, что как-нибудь справимся.

I expected we should be having coffee after dinner as usual. – Я полагал, что мы, как обычно, будем пить кофе после обеда.

I hoped she would have got supper ready by the time we got home. – Я надеялся, что она уже приготовит ужин к нашему приходу.

Direct and Indirect Speech

Прямая и косвенная речь в английском языке

1. Чужое высказывание может быть либо передано так, как оно было произнесено (прямая речь), либо описано с помощью сложносочинённого предложения (косвенная речь).

2. При изменении прямой речи в косвенную соблюдаются следующие правила:

1) Запятая и кавычки опускаются.

2) Все личные и притяжательные местоимения изменяются в зависимости от лица, от которого ведется речь. (1л. 3л., 2л. 1,3л.)

3) Повествовательные предложения вводятся глаголами to say, to tell, to announce, to inform, to declare, to admit, to promise, to remark, to remind, to assure, to deny и др. А также союзом that или же без него.

Ex.: She says: “I’ll do it”. – She promises (that) she will do it.

Если есть дополнение, то глагол say заменянтся на tell, или же употребляется с предлогом to (says to Olga - tells Olga, said to Boris - told Boris).

Повелительные предложения вводятся глаголами to tell, to order, to command, to request, to beg, to implore, to urge и др и выражаются инфинитовом.

Ex.: “Please, help Ann”, he asks. – He asks to help Ann.

“Don’t open the window”, mother says. – Mother asks not to open the window.

Вопросы вводятся глаголами to ask, to wonder, want to know, to inquire и в них соблюдается прямой порядок слов, как в повествователньом предложении.

Общие вопросы вводятся словами if, whether.

Ex.: I say to her: “Do you live here?” – I wonder if she lives here.

Специальные вопросы вводятся специальными вопросительными словами.

Ex.: Jane says: “What language do you learn?” – Jane wants to know what language I learn.

3. Если в прямой речи глагол главного предложения стоит в прошедшем времени, то при преобразовании прямой речи в косвенную время глагола придаточного предложения меняется в соответствии с правилами последовательности употребления времён (Правило Согласования времен). Именно в этом основное различие между русским и английским языками в употреблении косвенной речи. Например:

Ex.: Peter asked: “Do you like ice-cream?” – Peter asked if I liked ice-cream.

Marry said: “I have never been to Rome”. – Marry said that she had never been to Rome.
