Без активного использования язык умирает, и это не просто аксиома, а доказанная жизнью теорема. Поэтому, если вы не хотите превратить свой английский в застывшую латынь, чаще прибегайте к развитию навыков на практике. Сегодня займёмся письменной отработкой полученных знаний, выполняя упражнения на времена в английском языке. Для начала вспомним основные теоретические моменты, а затем постараемся решить задания на разный уровень сложности. Выполнив тренировку, сверьте вашу работу с правильными ответами и обязательно вернитесь к неправильно освоенному материалу, если допустили ошибку в образовании конструкции. Ведь практика для того и нужна, чтобы выявлять и устранять пробелы в своих знаниях.

Часто можно услышать, что в грамматике английского языка насчитывается двенадцать категорий времени действительного залога. Но на самом деле, времен то, как и везде три, а вот аспектов для каждого из них по четыре, т.е. все времена имеют 4 разные ситуации употребления. Вспомним вкратце эти аспекты.

Простые (Simple/Indefinite)

Конструкции категории времен предназначены для передачи единичных случаев, или наоборот регулярных и периодических действий, планов. Настоящие времена имеют сказуемое в инфинитиве , прошедшие во второй форме глагола и будущие – инфинитив с добавочным will. Заметим, что в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях сказуемые прошедшего так же ставятся в инфинитив, поскольку форму прошлого берет на себя вспомогательный did.

В утверждениях настоящего для глаголов, употребленных с существительными или местоимениями 3 лица, характерна особая форма с добавлением окончаний s/es. При составлении вопросов и отрицаний простое время требует использования вспомогательного глагола do(es)/did/will и частицы not.

Обыкновенно, простые времена в английском языке при выполнении упражнения не вызывают трудностей.

Продолженные (Continuous)

Категория используется для обозначения процессов действий и событий, т.е. того, что осуществляется/осуществлялось/будет осуществляться в конкретный момент времени. Может также встретиться употребление времен такого типа не с указателями времени, а в сопоставлении одного действия с другим.

Сказуемые состоят из соответствующей формы to be, причастия I и необходимых добавочных элементов (will и not). В вопросительных конструкциях происходит разделение сказуемого, т.к. to be встает в начало предложения, а причастие остается на своем месте.

Узкая направленность продолженного аспекта быстро и легко запоминается и, как правило, выполняя упражнения на времена континиус в английском, учащиеся практически не совершают ошибок.

Перфектные (Perfect)

Указывает на завершенность события или действия. Употребляя данный тип конструкций, мы можем выразить очередность событий или окончание действия к наступлению какого-либо времени.

Обобщая знания по строению сказуемых данного временного вида, важно отметить вспомогательный глагол have, который в зависимости от времени имеет разное окончание. В настоящем сказуемое имеет форму have/has (3 лицо), в прошедшем had, в будущем will have, и во всех случаях добавляется причастие II. Об этом важно помнить, решая по английскому языку упражнения на все возможные виды perfect.

Перфектные продолженные (Perfect Continuous)

Задача комбинаций – показать начавшееся раньше событие, которое продолжается в момент наступления второго действия, и, скорее всего, еще будет происходить, в то время, как второе действие уже завершится. Выражаясь простым языком, это все тот же континиус на английском , но с завершенными и стремящимися к завершению действами.

Составные сказуемые данного аспекта насчитывают три элемента: глагол have/has/had, вспомогательную форму been и причастие I(+ в будущем времени добавляется will). С have происходят ровно те же трансформации, что и в простом перфекте.

Освежив в памяти основную грамматическую информацию на времена английского глагола, перейдем выработке навыков их правильного употребления на практике. Небольшой совет: для успешного выполнения каждого упражнения на все времена в английском языке обращайте внимание на обстоятельства времени и вид глаголов, который они получают в русском переводе.
