  Passive Voice

 Действительный (активный – Active Voice) и страдательный (пассивный – Passive Voice) залоги в английском языке совпадают со значением соответствующих залогов в русском языке.

Глагол в действительном залоге показывает, что действие совершает лицо или предмет, выраженные подлежащим:

He often asks questions. – Он часто задаёт вопросы.

I bought this ball yesterday. – Я купил этот мяч вчера.

Глагол в страдательном залоге означает, что действие направлено на предмет или лицо, выраженные подлежащим:

He is often asked questions. – Ему часто задают вопросы.

This ball was bought yesterday. – Этот мяч был куплен вчера.

 

Страдательный залог образуется следующим образом:

to be + past participle (participle II or V3 – the third form of the verb).

 Глагол в страдательном залоге может сопровождаться указанием исполнителя (agent) действия с предлогом by:

This ball was bought by me yesterday. – Этот мяч был куплен мной вчера.

Как и в русском языке, в английском страдательный залог употребляется:

1. Когда в центре внимания говорящего находится лицо или предмет, над которым производится действие, а не лицо или предмет, который сам совершает действие.

Cricket is played in England and Australia. – В крикет играют в Англии и Австралиии.

2. Когда лицо, совершающее действие, неизвестно или когда считают ненужным его упоминать.

Boxing gloves are made of leather. – Боксерские перчатки сделаны из кожи.

The Gerund

«Playing sports is fun!»

Playing – это герундий. Герундий — это неличная форма глагола, соединяющая в себе свойства существительного и глагола.

Герундий образуется путем прибавления cyффикса -ing к основе глагола (to write – writing, to read – reading).

Форма герундия совпадает с формой' причастия' I (Participle I).' Однако это разные формы глагола, отличающиеся и по значению, и по синтаксическим функциям.

В предложении герундий может быть: подлежащим, частью

сказуемого, дополнением, обстоятельством и определением.

1. Герундий в функции подлежащего:

Герундий в функции подлежащего переводится на русский язык именем существительным:

Skating is a favourite sport with young people. – Катание на коньках/ – любимый вид спорта молодёжи.

Walking or jogging can help you keep fit. – Ходьба или бег трусцой могут помочь тебе быть в форме.

2. В функции части сказуемого:

После глагола “to be”:

His task was keeping the goal safe. – Его заданием была защита ворот.

His hobby is doing sports. – Его хобби – занятия спортом.

Не путайте со сказуемым времен группы Continuous! (He is doing sports now.)

После глаголов “to begin”, “to continue”, “to give up”, “to take up”, “to finish”, “to try”, “to go on”, “keep on”, “carry on”, etc.:

 I finished training at 7 p.m. and went home. – Я закончил тренироваться в 7 часов и пошел домой.

 

3. В функции дополнения (прямого и предложного):

После глаголов “to enjoy”, “to need”, “to mind”, “to prefer”, “to like”, “to dislike”, “to hate”, etc.

 He likes playing baseball. – Он любит играть в бейсбол.

 После глаголов с предлогами “to think of”, “to hear of”, “to keep from”, “to look like”, “to thank for”, etc.:

 You are thinking of winning, aren’t you? – Вы думаете о том, чтобы победить, не правда ли?

 После фраз “to be afraid of”, “to be famous for”, “to be fond of”, “to be keen on”, “to be interested in”, “to be good at”, etc.:

 I am good at playing football. – Я хорошо играю в футбол.

7th grade. Unit 5. Lesson 2. Favourite sports

 

Both ... and ..., 

either ... or ..., 

neither ... nor ...

 

Союз both ... and ... употребляется в утвердительных предложениях и переводится на русский язык «и... и...» «как ..., так и ...». Глагол после этого союза всегда стоит во множественном числе.

Both Tom and Jane can skate. – Как Том, так и Джейн умеют кататься на коньках.

 Союз either ... or ... переводится на русский язык как «или ..., или ...». Мы используем его, когда есть выбор между двумя предметами, людьми или действиями, но нужно выбрать что-то одно.

You can ask either mum or dad to teach you play chess. – Ты можешь попросить или маму, или папу научить тебя играть в шахматы.

Союз neither ... nor ... переводится на русский язык как «ни ..., ни ...». Мы используем его, когда нам не подходит ни один из предложенных вариантов.

Обратите внимание: союз neither ... nor ... является сам по себе отрицательный. Помните, что в английском языке в предложении может быть только одно отрицание, в данном случае это neither ... nor ..., следовательно, сказуемое ставится только в утвердительной форме.

Neither skiing nor skating is popular in New Zealand. – Ни лыжи, ни коньки не популярны в Новой Зеландии.

Эти конструкции могут соединять между собой однородные члены предложения.

Если союзы 'either ... or и 'neither ... nor' употребляются для соединения подлежащих, то сказуемое предложения согласуется (стоит в том же лице и числе) с ближайшим подлежащим.

Neither Mary nor her parents play soccer. – Ни Мэри, ни ee родители не играют в футбол.

Neither her parents nor Mary plays soccer. – Ни ее родители, ни Мэри не играют в футбол. (подлежащее)

She will either win or lose. – Она или выиграет, или проиграет. (сказуемое)

I want to buy either a bike or a skateboard. – Я хочу купить себе велосипед или скейтборд. (дополнение)

We want to buy either tennis or badminton rackets. – Мы хотим купить ракетки или для тенниса или для бадминтона. (определение)

We’ll have competitions either on Wednesday or on Saturday. – У нас будут соревнования или в среду, или в субботу. (обстоятельство)
