ГРАММАТИКА

Настоящее продолженное время (Present Continuous)

Настоящее продолженное время образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола tobe, который служит показателем лица, числа и времени, и неизменяемой части – причастия I смыслового глагола. Причастие I образуется от основы глагола путем прибавления суффикса -ing. При этом могут происходить некоторые орфографические изменения:

- конечная немая буква -e отбрасывается:

give – giving, take – taking

- конечная согласная удваивается, если ей предшествует краткий

ударный гласный:

stop – stopping, sit – sitting

При прибавлении суффикса -ing не изменяется конечная -y:

study – studying, play – playing.

I am

You are

He reading a book

She is

It
We

You are reading a book

They
Настоящее продолженное время употребляется для выражения действия, которое совершается в момент речи, в настоящее время. В этом случае употребляются обстоятельства времени: now – сейчас, atthemoment,atpresent – в данный момент, atthistime – в данное время.

e.g. Kate is playing tennis at the moment.

What is he doing? – He is reading a book.

Настоящее продолженное время может употребляться и для выражения запланированного действия в будущем. В этом случае употребляются следующие обстоятельства времени: nextweek – на следующей неделе, inaweek – через неделю, tomorrow – завтра, tonight – сегодня вечером и т.д.

e.g. I am going to London next week. They are leaving next Monday
Конструкция to be going to

Конструкция tobegoingto+ инфинитив смыслового глагола употребляется для выражения намерения совершить действие в ближайшем будущем. На русский язык данное сочетание переводится глаголами собираться, намереваться или глаголом в форме будущего времени.

e.g.Iamgoingtobuyanewdress. – Я собираюсь купить новое платье.

I come from South America, from Argentina, but now I live and work in England, in London. I can speak four languages – Spanish, of course, French, German, and English. I can speak English very well now but in the beginning it was very difficult for me. I can drive a car and I can ride a horse – I don’t ride in London but when I’m back home in Argentina I ride. I can’t ski and I can’t cook very well and I can’t play the piano – but I can play the guitar.

Well, on schooldays I get up at seven forty-five. I have breakfast at eight and I go to school at eight thirty. I have lunch in school with my friends, that’s at twelve fifteen – it’s early in our school. I leave school at three thirty in the afternoon and I walk home with my friends. I get home at four thirty. I go to bed at eleven o’clock on schooldays, but not at the weekend.

3. 
   Katya’s day
   

Katya is twenty-five. She’s an artist. She lives in a small house in the country. She usually gets up at ten o’clock in the morning. She never gets up early. She has coffee and toast for breakfast and then she goes for a walk with her dog. She gets home at eleven o’clock and she paints in her studio until seven o’clock in the evening. Then she cooks dinner and drinks a glass of wine. After dinner, she sometimes listens to music and she sometimes plays the piano. She usually goes to bed very late, at one or two o’clock in the morning.

   Lucy and Nicolas
   

We live in a small, old house in Brighton. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen – and there’s a bathroom, of course!

In the living room there are two armchairs and a sofa. We also have a television, a video recorder, and a CD player. On the wall there are two pictures. It’s a very comfortable room, and in the evening we sit and watch television or listen to music.

In the dining room there is a table and four chairs. There are a lot of photographs of our families on the walls. The kitchen is new. We have breakfast in the kitchen, but we have lunch and dinner in the dining room.

We have a small garden and two cats. We are very happy in our house!

5.What’s in Pierre’s briefcase?
What’s in my briefcase? Well, there’s a newspaper – a French newspaper – and there’s a dictionary – my French/English dictionary. I have some pens, three I think. Also I have a notebook for vocabulary, I write words in that every day. And of course I have my keys, my car keys and my house keys. Oh yes, very important, there are some photos of my family, my wife and my daughter and there’s my mobile phone. I ring my home in Paris every night. That’s all I think. I don’t have any stamps and my address book is in my hotel.

6. Bobbi Brown’s weekdays
My weekends are fast and exciting. My weekdays are fast and domestic! I have two sons, Dylan 7, and Dakota 5. Every morning I get up one hour before them, at 6.00, and I go to the gym. I come home and I make breakfast, then I take them to school. On Mondays I always go shopping. I buy all the food for the week. I often cook dinner in the evenings, but not every day because I don’t like cooking. Fortunately, my husband, Don, loves cooking. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I visit my father. He lives on the next block. Every afternoon I pick up the kids from school. In the evenings Don and I usually relax, but sometimes we visit friends. We never go out on Friday evenings because I start work so early on Saturdays.

7. Favourite seasons
Al Wheeler from Canada

We have long, cold winters and short, hot summers. We have a holiday home near a lake, so in summer I go sailing a lot and I play baseball, but in winter I often play ice hockey and go ice-skating. My favourite season is autumn, or fall, as we say in North America. I love the colours of the trees – red, gold, orange, yellow, and brown.
Manuela da Silva from Portugal

People think it’s always warm and sunny in Portugal, but January and February are often cold, wet, and grey. I don’t like winter. I usually meet friends in restaurants and bars and we chat. Sometimes we go to a Brazilian bar. I love Brazilian music. But then suddenly it’s summer and at weekends we drive to the beach, sunbathe, and go swimming. I love summer.
Toshi Suzuki from Japan

I work for Pentax cameras, in the export department. I don’t have a lot of free time, but I have one special hobby – taking photographs, of course! I like taking photographs of flowers, especially in spring. Sometimes, after work, I relax in a bar near my office with friends. My friend, Shigeru, likes singing pop songs in the bar. This has a special name, karaoke. I don’t sing – I’m too shy!

8. 
   My home town
   

G’day! My name is Darren, and I live in a house with my brother and a friend. We live in Bondi and we all love surfing. We often go surfing in the morning before work.

I’m an engineer. I work in the centre of Sydney for a big international company. I go to work by train. My office is in Macarthur Street, very near the Harbour. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I go running at lunchtime. It’s very hot in summer, but it’s beautiful. I sometimes go with friends from work. We run near the Opera House. My girlfriend likes to go shopping on Saturday. There is a great market in Paddington, and there are some great clothes shops in Oxford Street. On Saturday night, we often go to Chinatown. The food is fantastic, and really cheap. Or we stay in Bondi because there are a lot of really good little Thai and Italian restaurants here. I usually relax on Sunday. When the weather is good, we go to the beach, Manly Beach. We go by ferry. When it’s wet, we go to the pub.

9. My friend Andy
My best friend’s name is Andy. He’s very nice, and he’s really funny. He’s 22, and he’s a student at university. He isn’t married, but he has a beautiful girlfriend. Her name is Carrie, and she’s American.

Andy’s parents have a flat in Manchester. It’s near the centre of town. His father’s a taxi driver, and his mother has a part-time job in a hospital.

He has two sisters. Their names are Alison and Molly. They’re both at school.

Andy has a lot of CDs. His favourite music is rock ‘n’ roll, and his favourite pop group is Mood. He is also a fan of Manchester United!

When we’re together, we have a good time.
