niste unchi - some uncles

1.ARTICOLUL
1. A este articol nehotarat pentru orice substantiv care incepe cu o
consoana sau cu o semivocala (w, y sau sunetul iu)
An este articol nehotarat pentru orice substantiv care incepe cu o
vocala.
un baiat - a boy
o fata - a girl
un unchi - an uncle
o matusa - an aunt
o fereastra - a window
un razboi - a war
un an - a year
un european - a European (eu se citeste iu)
o universitate - a university (u aici se citeste iu)
o umbrela - an umbrella (u aici se citeste ca a din padure)

3. The este articol hotarat pentru orice substantiv si la singular si la

plural. La substantivele care incep cu o vocala, exemplu: uncle,
aunt, the rimeaza cu cuvantul romanesc zi.
baiatul - the boy
fata - the girl
baietii - the boys
fetele - the girls
unchiul - the uncle
matusa - the aunt
4. Daca dorim sa accentuam un substantiv care incepe cu o
consoana, the se pronunta ca in cazul substantivelor care incep cu o
vocala.
Iata! Aceea este casa (cu pricina)! - Look! That is THE house!
5. Un substantiv la singular cu cateva exceptii trebuie sa aiba un
determinativ, acesta poate fi un articol: a, an, the; un adjectiv
pronominal (posesiv, demonstrativ, etc) my house = casa mea, this
house = casa aceasta sau un numeral, ten cars = zece masini, in
romaneste acest lucru nu e totdeauna obligatoriu
in dulap - in the cupboard
pe raft - on the shelf
in sertarul meu - in my drawer

6. Articolul se pune intre prepozitie si substantiv dar inaintea oricarui

adjectiv.
un baiat inalt - a tall boy
fata inalta - the tall girl
in copacul inalt - in the tall tree
7. Partile corpului se folosesc cu un adjectiv posesiv daca actiunea e
facuta de cel ce detine acel corp dar cu un articol daca actiunea e
facuta asupra acelei persoane.
A fost impuscat in brat - He was shot in the arm.
L-a privit in ochi - He looked him in the eye
El a ridicat mana - He raised his hand
El s-a uitat la piciorul sau - He looked at his leg
Iesi cu mainile deasupra capului - Come out with your hands above
your head
8. La meserii se pune a, an la singular atunci cand meseria face
parte dintr-un predicat nominal (verbul propozitiei e a fi = to be) la
plural
insa
nu
se
pune
articol.
De fapt orice substantiv singular din cadrul unui predicat nominal
cere articol in caz ca nu are alt determinativ (vezi ultimele doua
exemple)
Sora mea e profesoara -My sister is a teacher.
Vreau sa fiu pompier - I want to be a fireman
Ei vor sa fie pompieri - They want to be firemen
She is a mother - Ea e mama
Shawn is a boy. - Shawn este baiat.
9. La popoare se pune the si adjectivul cu litera mare
iar pentru terminatiile sh, s si ch se foloseste singularul (adica nu se
mai pune un s):
francezii - the French
elvetienii - the Swiss

americanii - the Americans

italienii - the Italians
10. Spre deosebire de limba romana, la substantivele folosite in sens
general este necesar articolul nehotarat:
Ca prieten - As a friend
Ce om! - What a man!
11. Pentru materii nu se foloseste articol:
aurul straluceste - gold shines
matasea e moale - silk is soft
12. Substantivele abstracte nu necesita articol:
Iubirea nu moare niciodata - Love never dies
Inteligenta nu poate fi usor masurata - Intelligence can not be
measured easily
13. La plural nu se foloseste articolul, daca se fac afirmatii generale
Cartile sunt grele dar trebuie sa iau cartile mari cu mine - Books are
heavy but I must take THE big books with me.
Cartile sunt grele = Books are heavy (fara articol)
I must take the big books = Trabuie sa iau cartile mari (are articol)
14. In titlurile articolelor din ziar de multe ori articolele sunt omise
Un student incendiaza o casa - Student burns down house
Barbat muscat de un urs - Man bit by bear.
15. Articolul se omite in indicatii scenice
Hamlet isi pune intrebarea celebra - Hamlet asks famous question

16. Articolul ca si in romaneste nu apare la inceputul explicatiilor din

dictionare
Peru: tara din America de Sud - Peru: country in South America

2.SUBSTANTIVUL
17. Ca si in romana substantivele se pot numara si se acorda in
numar cu alte parti de vorbire (articol, verb)
un baiat, doi baieti - one boy, two boys

19. In general substantivele nu au gen si chiar cand au, substantivul
si adjectivul nu se acorda nici dupa gen, nici dupa numar, nici dupa

foarfece - scissors, ochelari - eyeglasses (obiecte pereche)se
folosesc cu verbul la plural: These scissors are sharp (Aceasta
foarfeca e ascutita).
25. Cand un obiect pereche e folosit cu "a pair of" verbul e la

mult
mai
folosit

mult

pentru
lucruri.
De remarcat faptul ca of pastreaza ordinea din romana a cuvintelor,
pe cand 's inverseaza aceasta ordine:

CARE Cand
nu
e
intrebare which se refera deobicei la obiecte sau animale. In cazul

interogativ.
In acest caz pronumele se numeste relativ.

Do you have SOME money? - Ai ceva bani?
85. Interogativ. In intrebari ANY e negativ - cel ce intreaba
presupune ca n-ai
Do you have any money? - Ai vreun ban, cat de cat?
86. La negativ se foloseste any sau no, nu se foloseste
some. ANY inseamna
in
acest
caz NICIUN,
NICIO
Trebuie observat ca in romaneste substantivul care urmeaza lui
niciun, nicio e totdeauna la singular pe cand in engleza acest lucru
nu e obligatoriu.
I don't have any brothers - Nu am niciun frate
sau I don't have any brother - Nu am niciun frate

87. Any in propozitiile negative (nu interogative) cere ca verbul sa fie

la negativ, in afara de cazul cand verbul insusi presupune o negatie
(exemplu: to refuse, to deny).

I don't see any stars - Nu vad nicio stea
He refused to hear any explanations - A refuzat sa auda vreo
explicatie.
He denied any wrongdoing - A negat orice faradelege.

foloseste
numai
cu
verbul
fara
negatie.
Any este mai des folosit decat no, in special cu alte verbe dacat to
be si to have.
I have no time - Nu am timp
I have no coins. - Nu am monezi
I see no stars - Nu vad stele
No good deed goes unpunished - Nici o fapta buna nu scapa
nepedepsita
I see no evil, I hear no evil, I speak no evil - Nu vad vreun rau, nu
aud vreun rau, nu vorbesc vreun rau.(Cele trei maimute cu mainile
pe ochi, pe urechi si pe gura care simbolizeaza asa zisul om curat ca
lacrima care nu poarta nicio vina.Cum zicem noi: N-am vazut, n-am
auzit.)
89. In propozitiile afirmative ANY are intelesul de ORICE
Ask any question - Pune orice intrebare
Any help is appreciated - Orice ajutor e apreciat
Any book will do - Orice carte e buna (merge) (Vrem sa citim ceva,
orice - nu conteaza ce)
90. Cu some, any si no se pot forma multe cuvinte noi apropiate ca
inteles
de
aceste
trei
forme
de
baza.
De remarcat ca orice compus de-al lui no, pastreaza regula de a
scoate orice alta negatie din propozitie. In engleza nu exista negatii
duble.
Deasemeni orice compus de-al lui any se foloseste in propozitii
interogative si negative in locul compusului echivalent cu some

Propozitia de mai sus in engleza ar fi: Eu vad pe tine adica I see you.

O pasare mai putin frumoasa ca papagalul este porumbelul.- inferioritate

O pasare la fel de frumoasa ca papagalul e porumbelul.- egalitate

little - putin

I know, and two years ago we had the least rain in history - Stiu, si acum doi
ani am avut cea mai putina ploaie din istorie.
142. Desi a little si little, a few si few etc
Nu inseamna chiar acelasi lucru, gradele lor de comparatie sunt la fel

We had a little rain this year

Yes, last year we had less
inseamna
A plouat putin (adica un pic) anul asta
Da, anul trecut a fost mai putina (ploaie)
si
We had little rain this year
But, last year we had even less

Dar anul trecut am avut si mai putina (ploaie)
143. Pentru a sublinia ideea

M-am dus cu el.
. dar si
M-am dus cu tine.
Prepozitiile de mai jos au numai rolul de a nu pierde din vedere contextul folosirii acestor pronume.

(with) me - (cu) mine

(with) you - (cu) tine
(with) him - (cu) el
(with) her - (cu) ea
(with) us - (cu) noi
(with) you - (cu) voi
(with) them - (cu) ei, ele
176. Sunt multe prepozitii pentru care acest pronume devine obligatoriu.

177. Pe mine, pe tine se traduc me, you fara prepozitie

In romaneste se adauga inca un pronume, acest l-, care in engleza nu exista.

178. Give me! - Da-mi!
Si in acest caz (cazul dativ) se foloseste aceasta forma a pronumelui personal
Dativul totdeauna raspunde la intrbarea CUI?

6.VERBUL
211. Infinitivele verbelor se formeaza cu particula to, exemple:

To eat - a manca
To sleep - a dormi
To think - a gandi
To read - a citi
To talk - a vorbi
To drink - a bea

215. To be - a fi

I am - Eu sunt
You are - Tu esti
He is - El este
She is - Ea este
We are - Noi suntem
You are - Voi sunteti
They are - Ei sunt
216. To have - a avea

Un exemplu cand se folosesc verbele modale este urmatorul:

I have - Eu am
You have - Tu ai
He has - El are
She has - Ea are
We have - Noi avem
You have - Voi aveti
They have - Ei au

May I come? - Am voie sa vin?

Must I come? - Trebuie sa vin?

217. To do - a face

212. Exceptii can, may, must, shall, will, ought to care nu primesc particula to
Ele se numesc verbe modale.si sunt o categorie aparte de verbe

213. De asemenea verbele se impart in regulate si neregulate.

Verbele neregulate isi schimba radacina la anumite timpuri, si ele trebuie invatate in trei variante.
Prima este verbul la infinitiv, apoi radacina pt past tense si apoi radacina pt toate timpurile numite perfecte.
Exemplu:

to be - was - been
214. Verbe auxiliare
To be - a fi
To have - a avea
To do - a face

Aceste verbe pe langa sensurile de mai sus construiesc timpuri compuse

(asa cum a avea in romana formeaza de exemplu am alergat care nu
inseamna ca: eu posed un alergat, cum ai zice am mere, adica am isi pierde
sensul cunoscut)

I do - Eu fac
You do - Tu faci
He does - El face
She does - Ea face
We do - Noi facem
You do - Voi faceti
They do - Ei fac
218. Verbele nu au in engleza timpuri corespunzatoare celor din limba romana.
In engleza trebuie precizat daca o actiune e in desfasurare la un anumit moment prezent trecut, viitor sau daca
exista fara sa fie in desfasurare.

De exemplu daca cineva iti spune: Lucrez la un proiect.

Ce inseamna? Ca lucreaza in fiecare zi un timp la acel proiect?
Ca lucreaza acum dar a facut o pauza, poate l-ai intrerupt tu?
219. I work - Eu lucrez.

I work on a project - Lucrez la un proiect.

Poate fi un raspuns la intrebarea Cu ce te ocupi?
I work on a project, everyday - Lucrez la un proiect zi de zi
Poate fi o afirmatie.
Acest timp se numeste Present Tense.

To walk - a merge pe jos

I walk to school and he walks too - Eu merg pe jos la scoala si el merge tot
pe jos
224. To eat - a manca
Present continuous e urmatorul

220. I am working
Daca actiunea a inceput si e in desfasurare fara sa fie insa ceva intrat in rutina, adica va avea un final se zice I am
working Acest timp se numeste Present Continuous Dupa cum vom vedea nu orice verb accepta acest timp

I am eating now - Mananc acum. I eat at this time everyday - Mananc la

aceasta ora in fiecare zi.
221. Insa si acest mod de exprimare lasa loc pentru confuzie

I am working on a project inseamna fie ca lucrez la un proiect in clipa asta,

fie ca am un proiect mare la care lucrez de mai mult timp, dar care nu e
munca mea obisnuita.
De aceea daca acum lucrezi, e bine sa se precizeze I am worknig on a
project (right) now - ...chiar acum. Desi chiar si aceasta exprimare lasa loc
pentru neintelegeri.

I am eating
You are eating
He is eating
She is eating
We are eating
You are eating
They are eating
225. Modul de formare al lui Present Continuous
pentru toate verbele care primesc acest timp.
Se foloseste prezentul verbul auxiliar to be si se adauga forma de infinitiv scurt (fara to) a verbului de conjugat la
care se adauga terminatia ing.

Shh, people are reading in here! - Shh, citesc oameni aici!

He is talking on the phone - El vorbeste la telefon

222. To talk - a vorbi

Present tense este:

I talk - Eu vorbesc
You talk - Tu vorbesti
He talks - El votbste
She talks - Ea vorbeste
It talks - Impersonal vorbeste
We talk - Noi vorbim
You talk - Voi vorbiti
They talk - Ei vorbesc
223. Modul de formare al lui Present Tense
pt toate verbele cu exceptia celor auxiliare este urmatorul
Se ia forma verbului la infinitivul scurt (fara to) care se pune la toate persoanele.
La persoana a treia sigular se adauga s

226. I am - I'm
Verbul to be la prezent se foloseste foarte mult (inclusiv ca auxiliar) intr-o forma contractata
I am - I'm
You are - You're
He is - He's
We are - We're
You are - You're
They are - They're

I'm a lion tamer - Sunt imblanzitor de lei

I'm Romanian - Sunt roman(ca)
dar si
I'm playing the piano - Cant la pian
They're singing my favorite song - Ei canta cantecul meu favorit

227. Verbele care nu au forma continua se numesc verbe statice.

Ele sunt verbe care nu sunt verbe de actiune.
De exemplu: to be, to belong, to love, to hate, to like, to know, to understand.

232. Vorbitorii nativi de limba engleza cateodata fac jocuri de cuvinte in care regulile gramaticale pot fi incalcate.
Aceste abateri insa nu pot fi create decat de nativi, ceilalti oameni trebuie sa respecte regulile de gramatica, daca
vor sa fie siguri ca nu gresesc sau ca ceilalti nu le vad inventiile lingvistice doar ca pe niste greseli.

De exemplu nu se poate zice ca inteleg ceva acum dar stiu ca peste un timp
n-am sa mai inteleg acel lucru.

Un exemplu Verbul to love nu accepta present continuous (dar reclama lui

McDonalds: I'm loving it! ar dovedi contrariul)
Reclama vrea sa zica probabil ca I am loving it chiar acum,
in fiecare minut al vietii mele (de preferinta cu un hamburger in mana)

228. Sunt si verbe care in mod normal nu admit forma continua

dar in anumite cazuri admit
. to see - a vedea

I see an elephant si nu I am seeing an elephant.

dar se spune
I am seeing somebody - Ma vad cu cineva
I am seeing a doctor - Ma duc la un tratament mai lung la doctor
229. To have - a avea
ca verb posesiv nu admite forma continua

I am having a car nu e corect

230. To hear - a auzi
to imagine - a-si imagina
nu au forma continua.

Aceste consecinte nu sunt neaparat exprimate
De exemplu: Am mancat (deci nu mi-e foame).

No, thank you, I have eaten - Nu multumesc am mancat

252. Present Perfect se foloseste:
2.Daca actiunea din trecut e inca in desfasurare sau daca efectul ei se vede in prezent.

trecut.
253. Present Perfect se foloseste:

254. Si pentru Present Perfect exista multe exceptii: 1. Americanii folosesc mult Past Tense in locul lui Present
Perfec
2. In mod frecvent adverbul nu va fi intre auxiliar si verb.

1. Past Tense in loc de Present Perfect:

I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one
Nu am vazut niciodata o vaca mov
Sper nici sa nu vad vreodata
Dar pot sa va spun cu siguranta
Ca prefer sa vad decat sa fiu
2. Adverb in afara locului sau:
Never have I seen you looking so lovely - Niciodata nu te-am vazut aratand
mai incantatoare.- apare de exemplu in cantecul Lady in Red.
Observati ca in acest caz, cand adverbul e in afara, se inverseaza I cu have.

My neighbor seems happy - Vecinul meu pare fericit. - (pare fericit e
predicat nominal)

Predicate nominale:
He appears tired He seems tired Pare obosit
He looks familiar He seems familiar Pare cunoscut

To feel - a simti, to grow - a creste, to prove - a dovedi, to remain - a ramane, to smell - a mirosi, to sound - a suna,
to taste - a gusta
pot fi considerate sinonime cu verbul to be, atunci avem de-a face cu un predicat nominal care trebuie urmat de un
adjectiv sau de un substantiv.

I feel a stong pain - Simt un mare junghi: verb de actiune

I feel tired - Ma simt obosita - Sunt obosita: verb de legatura (predicat
nominal)

302. Modul conditional exista si in engleza si in romana:

As zbura (I would fly) e conditionalul prezent

They are flying a kite - Ei inalta un zmeu prezent continuu.

They would be flying a kite if there was wind - Ei ar inalta un zmeu daca ar
fi vant conditionalul la prezent continuu.
307. Conditionalul prezent continuu inlocuieste conditionalul prezent in aceleasi cazuri in care prezentul
continuu inlocuieste prezentul.

303. Conditionalul Prezent ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele:

I would fly - Eu as zbura

You would fly - Tu ai zbura
He would fly - El ar zbura
She would fly - Ea ar zbura
We would fly - Noi am zbura
You would fly - Voi ati zbura

iar

would si should nu inseamna acelasi lucru:
shall implica o promisiune - I should inseamna ar trebui
I would inseamna as vrea

Tom: I shall win the race! - Voi castiga cursa!

Bill: You should!- Ar trebui (ar fi cazul)
Tom: I will call you!- Am sa va sun!

If he were here, he would be answering your questions, as we speak - Daca

ar fi aici, v-ar raspunde la intrebari chiar acum (in timpul acesta in care va
vorbesc). iar la prezent
Because he is here he is answeing questions, right now - Pentru ca e aici, el

305. La diateza pasiva ca si la diateza activa conditionalul nu se schimba in functie de persoana (you, he, she etc)

I would be asked by my teacher - As fi intrebat de profesoara.

306. Conditionalul prezent continuu
I, you...would be flying.

311. Conjugarea Conditionalului trecut e neschimbata la toate persoanele

I would have asked/eaten

You would have asked/eaten

He would have asked/eaten

She would have asked/eaten
We would have asked/eaten
You would have asked/eaten
They would have asked/eaten

317. Propozitiile care contin conditionale contin deasemeni de multe ori prin natura lor conjunctia daca.
Aceste propozitii au forma:
Daca A atunci B - If A then B
Daca A, B - If A, B

312. Diateza pasiva - Conditionalul Trecut

Ca si pana acum nici aceasta forma nu se schimba in functie de persoana (You, he, she etc)

If I go to school then I will learn a lot - Daca ma duc la scoala atunci voi
invata multe
sau
If I go to school, I will learn a lot
sau
I will learn a lot if I go to school - Voi invata multe daca ma duc la scoala).

I would have been asked by my teacher - As fi fost intrebat de profesoara

mea.
313. Conditionalul trecut continuu
I, you...would have been flying.

B daca A - B if A.
Aceste propozitii care contin o conditie se numesc conditionale.
In engleza, ele au anumite reguli pentru timpurile verbelor din cadrul lor.
Ele se numesc If Clauses

They were flying a kite - Ei inaltau un zmeu - trecut continuu.

They would have been flying a kite if there had been wind - Ei ar fi inaltat
un zmeu daca ar fi avut vant -conditionalul la trecut continuu.

318. If Clauses - Regula nr1

314. Conditionalul trecut continuu inlocuieste conditionalul trecut in aceleasi cazuri in care trecutul continuu
inlocuieste trecutul.

He would have been doing jail time if the law hadn't changed - Ar fi facut
puscarie daca nu s-ar fi schimbat legea.

If you let me in, I will give you a package - Daca ma lasi sa intru, iti dau un
pachet
sau
I will give you a package if you let me in - Iti dau un pachet, daca ma lasi sa
intru

315. Conditionalul trecut continuu ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele

319. If Clauses - Regula nr2

I would have been flying

You would have been flying
He would have been flying
She would have been flying
We would have been flying
You would have been flying
They would have been flying

Daca B e la viitor dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune prezentul

Daca B contine connditionalul prezent dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune past tense

If I met her I would tell her - Daca as intalni-o, i-as spune

I would tell her, if I met her - I-as spune, daca as intalni-o
320. Exceptie - Regula nr2
Verbul to be la toate persoanele devine were

If I were happy I would clap my hands - Daca as fi fericit as bate din palme
316. Conditionalul Trecut Continuu nu are forma pasiva.

321. If Clauses - Regula nr3

Everyone knows that he passes exams - Toata lumea stie ca el ia examenele

Daca B contine connditionalul trecut, dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune past perfect

Deci he passes si nu he pass deoarece dupa cum vom vedea aceasta

propozitie in engleza (sau romana) nu cere subjonctivul.

If I had gone by ship I would have been shipwrecked too - Daca ma duceam
cu vaporul as fi fost si eu naufragiat.
322. Pentru aceste reguli valabile pentru IF clauses
trebuie sa verificam ca fraza contine un if clause adica contine daca...atunci - if...then.
Regulile se aplica numai atunci cand daca introduce o propozitie conditionala.
Asa cum am vazut then poate sa lipseasca din propozitie dar existenta lui then trebuie sa se subinteleaga, chiar
daca nu exista in fraza.

I don't know if he will come - Nu stiu daca el va veni

Aceasta propozitie nu este echivalenta cu: Daca el va veni atunci nu stiu.
Deci nu este un if clause, nu are then si acesta nu se subintelege
323. Modul subjonctiv (sau conjunctiv) exista si in engleza si in romana:
In engleza moderna modul subjonctiv nu este folosit mult.

Exemple de subjonctiv in romana:

Sa fiu eu acolo, acest lucru nu s-ar intampla - If I were there this would not
happen
Sa fi fost eu acolo, acest lucru nu s-ar fi intamplat. - Had I been there this
would not have happened
Sa fiu este subjonctivul prezent al lui a fi.
Sa fi fost este subjonctivul trecut al lui a fi.
324. In engleza:
Subjonctivul prezent cere that in propozitia secundara.
Subjonctivul prezent in engleza pune la toate persoanele verbul la infinitiv.

It is required that he pass the exam - Se cere ca el sa ia examenul

si
It was required that he pass the exam - Se cerea ca el sa ia examenul
desi prezentul este: he passes the exam
325. Zicem insa:

326. Subjonctivul in englezeste exprima dorinte sau cerinte prezente sau trecute.

I want that you come at 6 o'clock - Vreau ca tu sa vii la 6.

I would like that you come at 6 o'clock. - Mi-ar placea ca tu sa vii la ora
sase.
Mult mai normal era insa
I would like you to come at six o'clock (Mi-ar placea tu a veni la 6.)
327. Subjonctivul trecut nu se deosebeste ca forma de past tense in majoritatea cazurilor, insa el exprima
prezentul.
El foloseste fie if - daca fie to wish.
Folosirea acestui subjonctiv urmeaza regula nr2 din if clause

If I owned a car, I would leave tommorow.- Sa am o masina as pleca maine.

(Daca dorim sa pastram subjonctivul in romana)
pe romaneste insa se zice mai mult
Daca as avea o masina as pleca maine.
328. Subjonctivul trecut urmeaza si exceptia regulii nr2 din if clause

If I were a singer I would sing all day - Daca as fi cantaret as canta toata
ziua.
in ziua de azi insa veti auzi de multe ori:
If I was a singer - Daca as fi cantaret
329. Un alt caz pentru subjonctivul trecut este atunci cand se foloseste verbul to wish - a dori in principala

I wish you were here - As vrea sa fii aici

I wish he were here - As vrea sa fie aici
dar se spune si
I wish he was here - As vrea sa fie aici
I wish I was a millionaire - As vrea sa fiu milionar.

330. Subjonctivul mai mult ca perfect exprima cu adevarat un timp trecut (spre deosebire de subjonctivul trecut
care am vazut ca exprima un eveniment prezent)
. Subjonctivul mai mult ca perfect foloseste mai mult ca perfectul (Past Perfect).

Sa ma fi dus ieri, cumparam bilete la spectacol. - If I had gone yesteday, I

would've bought tickets to the show
331. Subjonctivul mai mult ca perfect se poate exprima si omitand if si inversand locul pronumelui (subiectului)
cu verbul auxiliar had

Sa ma fi dus ieri, cumparam bilete la spectacol. - Had I gone yesteday, I

would've bought tickets to the show
Had Farmer Jones known, he would've harvested sooner. - Sa fi stiut
Fermierul Jones, ar fi recoltat mai devreme.
332. Subjonctivul viitor se formeza astfel:

If I were to pass the exam I would be ecstatic - Sa trec examenul as fi in

culmea fericirii.
333. In englezeste am vazut ca subjonctivul se foloseste atunci cand verbul din principala exprima o dorinta sau o
cerere.
Insa constructia cu conjunctia that intre propozitii apare in multe alte situatii
In aceste situatii regulile pentru subjonctiv nu sunt valabile

Subjonctiv
I wish (that) he pass the class - Imi doresc ca el sa treaca clasa
I wish (that) he were more determined - Mi-as dori sa fie mai hotarat
Nu contine subjonctiv
I see (that) he studies nowadays - Vad ca el studiaza zilele astea
I think (that) in the past he was lazy - Cred ca in trecut era lenes
334. Cand vorbim de acuzativ cu infinitiv verbul din secundara se pune la infinitiv iar pronumele (sau
substantivul) la acuzativ.
Acuzativul cu infinitiv de multe ori (dar nu totdeauna) se traduce in romaneste cu ajutorul subjonctivului.

I want you to go there in loc de I want that you go there.

I want you to go there = Vreau ca tu sa te duci acolo

335. Sa comparam aceste doua forme trecand pronumele al doilea prin toate persoanele.
Vedem aceata constructie de verb (wants) + acuzativ (me/you etc) + infinitiv (to go)

Emily wants that I go there - Emily wants me to go there

Emily wants that you go there - Emily wants you to go there
Emily wants that he go there - Emily wants him to go there
Emily wants that she go there - Emily wants her to go there
Emily wants that Jake go there - Emily wants Jake to go there
Emily wants that we go there - Emily wants us to go there
Emily wants that you go there - Emily wants you to go there
Emily wants that they go there - Emily wants them to go there
336. Nu orice verb in propozitia principala permite folosirea acuzativului cu infinitivul
Urmatoarele verbe sunt doar cateva dintre cele ce NU permit aceasta.

to fall, to run, to talk

337. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:
1. Verbe care exprima dorinta: (to wish, to want, to like)

I wish him to speak - Doresc ca el sa vorbeasca

I wish to speak. - Doresc (ca eu) sa vorbesc
They would like me to talk about my hometown - Le-ar place ca eu sa
vorbesc despre orasul meu natal
338. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:
2.Verbe care exprima obligatii: (to make, to cause, to induce)

The crisis caused the stock market to fall (cu to)- Criza a facut ca bursa sa
cada

pe baietel sa cante
339. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:
3.Verbe senzoriale (to hear, to see, to notice, to feel, to watch)
Aceasta categorie de verbe nu are to.

I felt him lose his cool - L-am simtit cum isi pierde firea

nori.

I heard him come in. - L-am auzit intrand

I will prove to be worthy of your trust - Voi dovedi ca sunt demn de

increderea voastra.
344. Nominativul cu infinitivul se poate folosi pentru verbul to be urmat de sure, certain sau likely

340. Verbe care accepta acuzativul cu infinitivul:

3.Verbe care exprima activitatea mintala (to think, to consider, to understand)

I think (that) he is a great writer - era mai direct
They consider him to be the future king - Il considera pe el (sa fie) viitorul
rege
He understood her to be a shy person.- El a inteles-o pe ea sa fie o persoana
timida
341. Nominativul unei propozitii este subiectul, un pronume sau un substantiv.
In anumite situatii in propozitii poate exista un nominativ si un infinitiv intre ele fiind intercalat predicatul
propozitiei.
Aceasta constructie poarta numele de nominativul cu infinitivul

I want to run - Vreau sa alerg.

He is sure to remember the incident - El cu siguranta isi aminteste de

incident
You are certain to be in the play - Esti cu siguranta in piesa
She is likely to succeed.- Ea are sanse sa castige.
345. Pe langa folosirea terminatiei ing la conjugarea continua, aceasta se foloseste si in alte situatii pe post de
substantiv, adjectiv sau verb.
Dupa rolul jucat in propozitie aceasta forma se numeste fie gerunziu fie participiu prezent.

Substantiv
Reading is for everybody - Cititul e pentru toata lumea
Adjectiv
I am part of a reading club - Fac parte dintr-un club de citit
Verb
I enjoy reading - Imi place sa citesc
I found him reading - L-am gasit citind

342. Acesta constructie e posibila pentru anumite verbe aflate la pasiv (to make, to say, to know, to believe)

He was made to apologize by the teacher - A fost pus sa isi ceara scuze de
catre profesoara
That farmer is said to have many acres of land - Fermierul acela se zice ca
are multi acri de pamant
My grandmother was known to help people. - Bunica mea era cunoscuta ca
ajuta oamenii

crezut mort

346. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea substantivelor

Take your belongings! - Ia-ti lucrurile!

Skiing is dangerous - Schiatul e periculos
Catching trout is hard. - Prinderea de pastravi e grea.
347. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea adjectivelor

The fishing boat needs repairs - Barca de pescuit necesita reparatii. The tanning salon is closed - Salonul de brozat e inchis
The cleaning solution is toxic. - Solutia de curatat e toxica

343. Nominativul cu infinitivul se poate folosi pentru verbele to happen, to seem, to appear, to prove.

Your friend seemed to have many plans for the future.- Prietenul tau parea
sa aiba multe planuri de viitor

I like painting - Imi place sa pictez

I imagine him studying all day - Mi-l imaginez invatand toata ziua

I saw your parrot flying in my garden - L-am vazut pe papagalul tau

zburand la mine in gradina
349. De multe ori aceste propozitii ce contin forma ING se pot reformula, daca dorim.
Daca insa suntem siguri de formulare, ele nu trebuie evitate

Do you mind my smoking? devine Do you mind if I smoke?

The cleaning solution is toxic. - The solution used for cleaning is toxic
I like painting - I like to paint
350. Forma cu ING se poate folosi si in locul expresiilor de forma substantiv care verb care se transforma
in adjectiv verb

fata care canta - the girl that sings

the ball that bounces - mingea care sare
the man that sleeps - barbatul care doarme
devin
the singing girl
the bouncing bal
the sleeping man

352. Exista si adjective compuse in care primul cuvant e un substantiv si al doilea un adjectiv format cu ing.
Impreuna insa ele formeaza un nou adjectiv.

jaw-dropping performance - prestatie extraordinara

jaw-dropping - care cade falca
mind-boggling idea - idee uluitoare
mind-boggling - care zapaceste mintea
eye-popping stunt - cascadorie fantastica
eye-popping - care scoate ochii
353. Asa cum am vazut subjonctivul englez e folosit mult mai rar ca in romana.
In engleza el are numai rolul de a exprima dorinte, cereri pe cand in romana orice verb are subjonctiv.
In multe cazuri subjonctivul romanesc in englezeste se traduce printr-un verb cu forma ing

Before eating some people pray. - Inainte sa manance unii oameni se roaga
Instead of crying over spilt milk buy some more milk. - In loc sa
plangi dupa laptele varsat, mai cumpara lapte
They began working - Ei au inceput sa lucreze
I like starting new things - Imi place sa incep lucruri noi
I think seeing a movie is the best idea. - Cred ca sa vedem un film e cea mai
buna idee.

Sleeping beauty - Frumoasa adormita

Jumping bean - fasole saritoare (o varietate de fasole)
351. Spre deosebire de alte adjective, aceste adjective cu ing pot fi puse dupa substantiv.
Ele se scriu cu cratima.
Insa sensul expresiei se schimba:

eatimg man - barbat care mananca

man-eating - care mananca barbati (oameni)
hunting fox - vupe care vaneaza
fox hunting - vanatoare de vulpi
fishing boat - barca de pescuit
boat-fishing - care pescuieste barci
diving sky - cer care plonjeza
sky-diving - care plonjeaza din cer

354. Ca si in romana (unde totusi in ziua de azi nu e uzual) subjonctivul (forma cu ing in engleza) poate fi inlocuit
cu infinitivul
Aceasta formulare in engleza e mult folosita, in continuare.
Unele verbe primesc aceasta inlocuire altele nu.
Unele nu accepta forma cu ing, si in schimb accepta infinitivul
Totul depinde de predicatul propozitiei.

Romaneste
Vreau sa pictez - Vreau a picta
Englezeste
Cazuri cand se foloseste numai infinitivul
I want to sing - Vreau sa cant
He decided to come - A hotarat sa vina
Cazuri cand se foloseste numai forma cu ing
He mentioned seeing the movie - A mentionat ca a vazut filmul
Cazuri cand se foloseste oricare forma

I started to believe/believing him - Am inceput sa il cred

I tried to finish/finishing this - Am incercat sa termin aceasta

I like to ski - Im place sa schiez

I like skiing - Imi place schiatul

355. Verbe care sunt folosite numai cu infinitivul:

359. Aceste reguli se refera la verbe care vin dupa alte verbe. Un verb singur poate fi totdeauna la infinitiv sau la
forma cu ING.

afford, agree, aim, appear, arrange, ask, attempt, care, choose, claim,
consent, dare, decide, decline, demand, desire, determine, endeavour,
expect, fail, fight, grow, guarantee, happen, hasten, help, hesitate, hope,
learn, long, manage, neglect, offer, plan, pledge, prepare, pretend, proceed,
promise, prove, reckon, refuse, resolve, scorn, seek, seem, strive, struggle,
swear, tend, threaten, trouble, undertake, venture, volunteer, vote, vow, wait,
wish, would like
356. Verbe care sunt folosite numai cu forma cu ING:

admit, adore, anticipate, appreciate, avoid, celebrate, consider, contemplate,

defend, defer, delay, deny, detest, describe, discuss, dislike, endure, enjoy,
escape, excuse, explain, face, fancy, feel like, finish, forgive, give up,
imagine, involve, keep, lie, loathe, mention, mind, miss, pardon, postpone,
practise, prevent, quit, recall, recollect, report, resent, resist, risk, save,
suggest, tolerate, understand cant help, cant resist, cant stand, its no use,
there is no point/ sense in, its worth

To err is human, to forgive is divine. - Erring is human forgiving is divine

adica
A gresi e omeneste, a ierta e dumnezeieste - Sa gresim e omeneste sa iertam
e dumnezeieste.
Fiindca sunt doua propozitii ele nu se influenteaza una pe alta. Daca
ziceam:
To forgive erring people is divine - A ierta oameni care gresesc e divin,
atunci to err trebuia pus la gerunziu fiindca to forgive cerea acest lucru.
Observatii:
1. Proverbul este: To err is human, to forgive divine.
2. Azi se zice to make a mistake nu to err
360. Forma cu ING se foloseste dupa anumite prepozitii:

After writing the letter I mailed it. - Dupa ce am scris scrisoarea am

expediat-o
On hearing this, she started to laugh - Auzind aceasta, ea a inceput sa rada

357. Lista de verbe dupa care poate veni un verb si la infinitiv si la forma cu ING:

advise, allow, attempt, begin, bother, cease, come, continue, deserve, dread,
fear, forbid, forget, go on, hate, hear, intend, like, love, mean, need, permit,
prefer, propose, recommend, regret, remember, require, see, start, stop, try,
want, be afraid (of/to), be ashamed (of/to), be sorry(for/to), can't bear, can't
stand, care (for/to)
358. Desi aceste verbe permit ambele forme sensul celor doua forme cateodata difera.

He forgot to learn - A uitat sa invete

He forgot learning - A uitat ca a invatat
He remembered to pay - A tinut minte sa plateasca
He remembered paying - Si-a amintit ca a platit
She stopped to talk - S-a oprit sa vorbeasca
She stopped talking - S-a oprit din vorbit

361. Lista de prepozitii care cer forma cu ING atunci cand se foloseste un verb dupa ele
against, at, after, by, on, instead of, talk about, tired of, without

We are against bombing other countries - Suntem impotriva bombardarii

altor tari
He is good at telling stories - El e bun la spus povesti
After finishing the paper I went to bed - Dupa ce am terminat lucrarea m-am
dus la culcare

I am tired of hearing about this. - M-am saturat sa aud de asta

He left without saying a word - A plecat fara sa zica un cuvant
362. Cateva exemple de propozitii care in romaneste se traduc cu ca, dar care in engleza folosesc tot forma cu
ING:

I remember seeing him - Imi amintesc ca l-am vazut

I admit telling her - Recunosc ca i-am spus
I swear telling the truth - Jur ca am spus adevarul
cu traduceri exacte
I remember that I saw him
I admit that I told her
I swear that I told the truth
363. Participiul trecut al verbului to break e broken (a treia forma din lista de verbe neregulate).
Ca si in romana participiul trecut al unei actiuni poate deveni adjectiv care sugereaza o insusire dobandita in
trecut.

Breaking news - Stiri foarte noi (care sparg) - foloseste participiul prezent
breaking
insa
Broken arm - Mana rupta (sparta) - foloseste participiul trecut broken
364. Exemple de adjective provenite din participiul trecut

melted ice - gheata care s-a topit

melting ice - gheata care se topeste
sunken treasure - comoara ingropata
forgotten facts - fapte uitate
colored eggs - oua vopsite
fattened calf - vitelul ingrasat
burnt bread - paine arsa
heated cofee - cafea incalzita
365. Participiul Trecut poate fi folosit si fara sa fie adjectiv.
Pentru noi ca romani e mai directa si de preferat aceasta constructie, pentru cei ce nu sunt avansati.

A building, damaged by the earthquake, was torn down.- O cladire, avariata

de cutremur, a fost demolata
mai englezeste ar fi fost
An earthquake damaged building was torn down
A man, hit by a ball, started yelling - Un barbat, lovit de o minge, a inceput
sa strige.
366. Participiul Perfect reprezinta o actiune terminata care duce la o alta actiune.
Se formeaza din having si participiul trecut al verbului.

Having finished the project she went for a walk. - Terminand (Deoarece
terminase) proiectul, ea s-a dus sa se plimbe.
Having spent all his money, the student called home. - Deoarece isi
cheltuise toti banii, studentul a sunat acasa.
367. Imperativul in limba engleza
Acest timp se foloseste in comenzi, sugestii, instructiuni, invitatii.
Daca nu e insotitt de Please - te rog ca si in romana de multe ori e nepoliicos
Subiectul imperativului e subinteles, si se foloseste rar.
Cand persoana e specificata prin nume, acesta se pune sau la inceputul sau (de preferinta) la sfarsitul propozitiei.

Nepoliticos:
Shut up! Taci din gura!
Get out! - Iesi afara!
Politicos!
Please be quiet!
Please, leave! - Te rog pleaca!
Se zice:
Come on! - Haide!
Andrew! Come on! - Andrew!Haide!
Come on, Andrew! - Haide, Andrew
368. Cazurile de imperativ din engleza sunt asemenea limbii romane, anume se foloseste persoana a 2a la toate
verbele in afara lui to be
In cazul verbului to be - a fi la imperativ se pastreaza forma de infinitiv.

Andrew merge. - Andrew walks. (pers.a 3a)

Andrew, mergi! - Andrew walk!(pers.a 2a)
dar

Andrew este atent. - Andrew is careful.

Andrew fii atent! - Andrew be careful!

Get a grip - Aduna-te!

Hang in there! - Rezista!

Observatie:
Be careful! inseamna Fii atent la ce faci. Fii atent! la lectie se zice Pay
attention!

372. Negativul verbului to be la present tense se formeaza astfel:

369. Alta construcitie a imperativului des intalnita, este folosind verbul to let - a lasa
Pentru orice verb care accepta o asemenea constructie Let'ssau Let us inseamna Hai sa

Open the door and let me come in! - Deschide usa si lasa-ma sa intru!
Let me in! - lasa-ma sa intru!
Let me go! - Da-mi drumul!
Let us pray - Sa ne rugam
Let's play! - Hai sa ne jucam
Let's eat! - Hai sa mancam
Let's dance! - Hai sa dansam!
Ok, let's! - Bine, hai!
370. Cateodata se pune Do in fata infinitivului pentru a il face mai politicos.
Cand punem Do nu mai punem Please - Te rog
Do nu se foloseste decat in contexte deja politicoase.
Daca se spune cuiva: Sweep the floor! atunci e mai bine sa se foloseasca Please! - Please, sweep the floor!

Do, come in! - Intrati!

Do, be quiet - Te rog liniste!
Do, sit down - Te rog, ia loc!
Do, come see me!- Te rog, mai treci pe la mine!

I am not - Nu sunt
You are not - Nu esti

373. Negativul verbului to be la past tense se formeaza astfel:

I was not - Nu eram

You were not - Nu erai
He was not - El nu era
She was not - Ea nu era
We were not - Nu eram
You were not - Nu erati
They were not - Nu erau
374. Negativul unui verb care nu e la un timp compus
Acesta se formeaza cu ajutorul verbului auxiliar to do:

Nu lucrez noaptea - I do not work at night

Nu stiu unde e - I do not know where it is
Nu m-a intrebat pe mine - He did not ask me.

371. Alte exemple de imperativ:

Take the first turn right. - Ia-o pe prima la dreapta.

Hurry up!- Grabeste-te!
Watch out! - Pazea!
Watch it! - Vezi cum vorbesti!
Have a good time! - Distractie placuta!
Have fun! - Distractie placuta
Sleep well! - Dormi bine (Somn usor)
Brace yourself - Imbarbateaza-te!

375. Daca timpul este compus se foloseste numai not

Nu lucrez acum - I am not working now

I will not work tommorow - Nu voi lucra maine
I haven't been working for weeks - Nu am nai lucrat de saptamani.
I have not been to Australia - Nu am fost in Australia

376. Atunci cand folosim Past Tense care nu e un timp compus si deci negatia contine do, do se pune la trecut nu
verbul.
Deasemenea do la prezent devine does la persoana a 3a singular

I did not wash my hands - Nu m-am spalat pe maini.

He does not know me - Nu ma cunoaste
We did not see him there - Nu l-am vazut acolo.

Present Perfect Continuous
Past Perfect Continuous
Future Perfect Continuous

Aceste timpuri devin foarte complicate la diateza pasiva, asa ca nu se

folosesc.
398. Conditionalul - Forma negativa si contractia verbului to wash - a spala.
Formele de conditional would si should provin de la forma de viitor will asa ca negativul in aceste cazuri se
formeaza la fel ca pentru will

Nu i-as spune sa fiu in locul tau
They should not buy a new car
They shouldn't buy a new car
Nu e nevoie sa-si cumpere o masina noua
399. Forma interogativa a verbului to be
Se formeaza prin inversarea verbului cu subiectul, ca si in romaneste.
I am happy - Eu sunt fericit(a)
Am I happy? - Sunt eu fericita?

Are you a teacher> - Esti profesor?

Is he your friend? - Este el prietenul tau?
Are they late for work? - Au intarziat ei la serviciu>
Are you Swedish? - Esti suedez?
Am I right? - Am dreptate?
Were you tired? - Ai fost obosit?

400. Spre deosebire de romana, in engleza se poate zice Am I? sau chiar I am?.
Dar cele doua au intelesuri diferite.
I am? exprima mirare si bucurie.
Am I? exprima indoiala.
De exemplu:

You are in the top ten. - Esti intre primii zece.

I am? - Da?
You are not in the top ten. - Nu esti intre primii zece.
Oh, I'm not? - O, nu?
You are so happy! - Esti asa de fericit!
Am I? - Zau?
You are not smart! - Nu esti destept!
I'm not, am I? - Nu sunt, nu? (ironic)
401. Raspunsul la o intrebare de genul Are you happy> poate fi
Yes - Da
Yes, I am - Da, sunt
No - Nu
No, I am not - Nu, nu sunt

Are you a farmer? - No.

You are not a farmer?! - No, I am not.
Are you?
Yes!
Esti fermier? - Nu.
Nu esti fermier?! - Nu, nu sunt.
Tu esti? Da!
402. Interogativul in cazul timpurilor necompuse (Present Tense si Past Tense) Atunci cand propozitia contine
alt verb decat to be (si nu contine un verb modal) iar verbul nu e la o forma compusa, interogativul se formeaza cu
ajutorul verbului auxiliar to do NU se face inversarea verbului cu subiectul ca in cazul lui to be.
You work at night - Lucrezi noaptea.
You drive - Conduci.
I know you - Te cunosc
They all live in a yellow submarine - Ei locuiesc toti intr-un submarin galben.

Lucrezi noaptea? - Do you work at night?

Do you drive? - Conduci?
Do I know you? - Te cunosc?
Do they all live in a yellow submarine?- Locuiesc ei toti intr-un submarin
galben?
403. Aunci cand in intrebari se cere folosirea verbului to do acesta preia persoana si timpul verbului de baza.
Astfel persoana a treia a verbului pierde litera s si la orice persoana verbul ramane la infinitiv.
He plays cards - El joaca carti
She rides horses - Ea calareste cai.
My green parrot flies well - Papagalul meu verde zboara bine.

Did you play cards? - Tu ai jucat carti?
Did she play cards? - Ea a jucat carti?
Did they ride horses - Au calarit ei cai? Did your geen parrot fly well? Zbura bine papagalul tau verde?
Did you do your homework - Ti-ai facut temele?
404. La interogatii daca timpul este compus do nu se foloseste dar se schimba ordinea pronumelui
cuprimul auxiliar.
You had eaten enough. - Mancasei destul.
She has always come home for Christmas.- Totdeauna a venit acasa de Craciun.
You have been jogging lately - Ai facut jogging in ultimul timp.

Craciun?
Have you been jogging lately? - Ai facut jogging in ultimul timp?
Will we overcome? - Vom invinge?
Is the cowboy riding in the moonlight? - Calareste cowboyul la lumina
lunii?

405. Propozitii interogative fara inversare You work tonight - Lucrezi diseara
Do you work tonight - Lucrezi diseara?
Se poate spune si
You are working tonight? (deci fara inversare, dar nu este propriu-zis o intrebare, exprima mirarea (You work
tonight !?!)

auxiliare.
Am I not - NU se contracta.

Daca mai multe din aceste auxiliare apar intr-o intrebare, se raspunde cu auxiliarul inversat. (Cel din fata
subiectului).

La intrebari formulate cu auxliarul to do, se raspunde tot prin to do.
La intrebari formulate cu auxliarul to have, se raspunde tot prin to have.

Noi zicem Ba da.
In engleza nu exista ceva echivalent.

Se poate zice: Of course! - Sigur!

sau se poate repeta toata propozitia, accentuand, pentru emfaza (in cazul ca raspunsul e da), auxiliarul.

Don't you play the piano? - Nu canti la pian? Yes, I DO play the piano.

Sort of - Intr-un fel
Not really - Nu prea
Maybe - Poate
424. Exista ca si romaneste cuvinte specifice pentru intrebari pentru care regulile de formare a interogatiei se
schimba
Acest lucru e adevarat numai daca aceste cuvinte formeaza subiectul propozitiei.
In acest caz aceste cuvine reprezinta interogatia si nu e nevoie de alt mod de formare a interogatiei.

Where - Unde
When - Cand

434. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici
1. Nu accepta particula to la infinitiv.

To can inseamna a face conserve.

Este altceva decat can - a putea.
435. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici

431. Observatie:
Daca vroiam sa zicem: Cat e de gras! nu mai era intrebare, si ziceam How fat he is!

How fat he is! - Cat e de gras!

How thin he is! - Cat e de slab!

436. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici
3. Nu au participiu si nici forma cu ing si de aceea au multe timpuri lipsa

La timpurile lipsa ele se inlocuiesc prin alte verbe

433. Exista in limba engleza verbe care se numesc Verbe Modale
Problema pentru necunoscatori e ca aceste verbe exprima toate nuante ale verbului a putea si fara practica e greu
de stiut care trebuie folosit, in functie de ce vrei sa exprimi. Have to fara sa fie verb modal este de multe ori
folosit in lolui must.

can - a putea
could - a fi in stare
may - a avea voie
might - exprima o posibilitate
will - exprima vointa
would - exprima o dorinta de a realiza ceva

can se inlocuieste cu to be able to

may se inlocuieste cu to be allowed to
must se inlocuieste cu to have to
437. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici
4.La fel ca verbul to be verbele modale nu formeaza interogativul folosind verbul to do ci prin inversarea verbului
cu subiectul.

ought to - oughtn't (nu se foloseste)

Yes, he can hear you.- Da, el te aude.
No, he can not hear you.- Nu, el nu te aude.

439. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici
6.Formele negative deobicei se contracta: can not - can't
could not - couldn't
may not - nu se contracta si se foloseste ca raspus la o intrebare cu may. E un raspuns taios, de aceea nu se
contracta.
might - might not - nu se contracta

7.Sunt urmate de verbe la infinitiv fara to.

Chiar atunci cand inlocuite cu alt verbe s-ar pune to (sau of)

We want to ride a horse. - Vrem sa calarim

We wish to ride a horse. - Dorim sa calarim
We are trying to ride a horse. - Incercam sa calarim

441. La prezent se foloseste must/might/could/may/can't

It's nine, so their train must have left - E 9, deci trenul trebuie sa fi plecat.
(Arata ca suntem destul de siguri de afirmatia noastra)

They may have missed the train. - Poate au pierdut trenul(poate).
They can't still be at home - Nu mai pot fi acasa (suntem destul de siguri de

442. Folosim will respectiv won't cand suntem foarte siguri de afirmatiile noastre.
Observati ca will aici nu are rol de auxiliar in Future Tense.

They will be on the train by now. - Ei trebuie sa fie in tren pana la ora asta
No, I won't tell you - Nu, nu iti spun

answer - Putea sa se fii ratacit in padure cand l-am strigat si nu mi-a

raspuns.
448. Folosim will have, should have + participiul trecut pentru probabilitati trecute.

They will have sold there products yesterday - Ei isi vor fi vandut produsele
ieri. (nu prea este folosit)
He should have been back yesterday.- Trebuia sa se intoarca de ieri.
449. Urmatoarele verbe modale sunt folosite pentru actiuni din trecut: Must, might, could, may, can't + have +
past participle

They should be here by now - Ar fi trebuit sa fie aici la ora asta.

It shouldn't take long - N-ar trebui sa dureze mult

My dog must have kept you up last night.- Cainele trebuie sa te fi tinut treaz
toata noaptea
He might have been hungry - Poate ca ii era foame.
He could havr been frightened by something - Poate ca au fost speriati de
ceva
He may have been ill - Poate ca era bolnav
He can't have barked for nothing - Nu poate sa fii latrat degeaba.

444. Pentru probabilitati se poate folosi can in cazul a ceva posibil la modul general:

450. Verbele modale exprima de multe ori putinta de a face ceva.

443. Should respectiv shouldn't se folosesc pentru a face supozitii despre lucruri care dupa cate stim noi asa ar
trebui sa fie:

Train tickets can be expensive. - Biletele de tren pot fi scumpe

445. Cand vorbim de posibilitati specifice folosim could

They could be stuck in traffic (nu can be) - Ar putea fi blocati in trafic
446. In schimb cand vorbim de trecut, could il inlocuieste pe can.

They could have been stuck in traffic (nu could be care este prezentul)- Ar fi
putut fi blocati in trafic.
447. Could se transforma in could be pemtru o posibilitate generala din trecut.
Altfel se foloseste could have been

Long ago, people could be happy even without running water.- Demult,
oamenii puteau fi fericiti si fara apa curenta
He could have been lost in the woods when I called him and he didn't

Aceasta este de exemplu abilitatea generala de a face ceva, abilitate care

daca este adevarata, este totdeauna adevarata, cum este vorbitul unei limbi
straine de exemplu.
Alte abilitati sunt specifice, exista sau nu in anumite momente, cum ar fi sa
si mentina echilibrul, sau sa aiba destui bani ca sa plateasca ceva.
451. Can sau can't se folosesc si pentru abilitati generale si pentru abilitati specifice.

I can ride a bike - Eu pot sa merg cu bicicleta

I can pay - Pot eu sa platesc
He can't sing because he is hoarse.- Nu poate sa cante pentru ca e ragusit
We can't send the letter today. - Nu putem sa trimitem astazi scrisoarea
452. La trecut can/can't cand exprima abilitati generale se transforma in could/couldn't

I could ride a bike even in first grade.- Puteam sa merg pe bicicleta chiar si
in clasa intai

I could pay all my bills before the crisis - Inainte de criza, puteam sa-mi
platesc toate facturile.

I am reading a book Eu citesc o carte.
Aceasta ordine se pastreaza si in cadrul propozitiilor din fraza.
The people who are my neighbors are reading a story book. - Oamenii care
sunt vecinii mei citesc o carte.
782. Daca exista si un complement indirect acesta vine dupa complimentul direct daca se foloseste prepozitia to.
Daca NU se foloseste TO complementul indirect vine INAINTEA complimentul direct

11.ORDINEA CUVINTELOR
780. Complimentul determina predicatul. El este de urmatoarele tipuri.

Compliment direct
Eu joc sah.
Raspunde la intrebarea ce?
Ce joc? Sah.
Sah este compliment direct
Complimentul indirect
Eu joc sah cu bunica.
Raspunde la una din intrebarile: (cui?, pe ce?, cu cine?, cu ce?, despre cine?

sau
The people who are my neighbors are reading the little girl (complement
indirect) a storybook(complement direct) - Oamenii care sunt vecinii mei

783. Daca nu exista compliment direct (a storybook) este obligatoriu sa se puna TO cand complimentul indirect
raspunde la intrebarea cui?

The people who are my neighbors are reading to the little girl - Oamenii
care sunt vecinii mei citesc fetitei.
Iata un exemplu care nu cere to (nu raspunde la intrebarea cui?)
The people who are my neighbors are reading a storybook with the little girl
- Oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc cu fetita.
784. Adverbele de timp cu caracter precis (yesterday ieri, today - azi, tomorrow - maine, last year - anul trecut,
last month - luna trecuta, next year - anul viitor etc) se pun la inceputul frazei

Orice altfel de compliment vine dupa complimentul direct daca acesta exista.
Daca nu exista vine direct dupa predicat.

Yesterday, the people who are my neighbors were reading a storybook to the
little girl. - Ieri, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citeau o poveste fetitei.
Sometimes the people who are my neighbors read a storybook with the little
girl.- Cateodata, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc o poveste cu fetita.br>
Sometimes the people who are my neighbors read a storybook out loud to
the little girl in the evening - Cateodata, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc
cu voce tare o poveste fetitei seara.
785. Alte reguli: adjectivele se pun inaintea substantivelor, iar adverbele de frecventa se intercaleaza la verbe

Last month, the people who are my neighbors would often read a beautiful
storybook to the little girl in the park in the evening. - Luna trecuta oamenii
care sunt vecinii mei deseori citeau cu voce tare o frumoasa poveste fetitei
seara, in park.

788. In englezeste timpul unui verb (trecut, prezent sau viitor indiferent ca e continuu sau nu) trebuie sa urmeze o
anumita structura in cadrul frazei, structura numita concordanta timpurilor.
Aceasta spune ca in functie de timpul verbului din propozitia principala, verbul din propozitia secundara nu poate
fi decat la un anumit timp.

De exemplu Eu mancam cand tu ai venit acasa. - I was eating when you

came home.
Cand mancam? Cand tu ai venit acasa. - propozitia secundara
Aici si in engleza si in romana ambele propozitii sunt la trecut si se respecta
concordanta timpurilor.
Insa daca spunem: El a zis ca face bine, in romaneste nu se respecta
structura ceruta de concordanta timpurilor
Concordanta in engleza cere sa spunem El a zis ca facea bine.
Pentru romani o asemenea exprimare da impresia ca facea bine inainte sa fii
zis acest lucru, in trecut, dar in engleza constructia este : He said that he was
well.
Daca am vrea sa spunem ca mai demult era bine spunem: He said that he
had been well.

786. Never si hardly au urmatoarea regula de inversare a subiectului cu predicatul.

Se zice:
I have never heard such beautiful stories sau
Never have I heard such beautiful stories.
- Niciodata nu am mai auzit povesti atat de frumoase
I could hardly believe my ears
sau
Hardly could I believe my ears.
- Abia-mi puteam auzi urechilor.
787. Inversiunea in cazul lui if
Cand se face o inversiune if cade.

If I had known the truth

sau
Had I known the truth.

12.CONCORDANTA TIMPURILOR

789. Daca in principala verbul este la prezent sau la viitor, in secundara verbul poate fi la orice timp prezent trecut
sau viitor dupa context.

He says that he is a student

He says that he was a student
He says that he will be a student
He will say that he is a student
He will say that he was a student
He will say that he will be a student
790. Daca in principala verbul este la trecut in secundara verbul va fi la un timp perfect (aceste timpuri au legatura
cu trecutul)

He said that he was a student El a spus ca este student

Traducere exacta: El a spus ca era (a fost) student - Past Tense
He said that he had been a student El a spus ca el era student
Traducere exacta: El a spus ca fusese student Past Perfect
He said that he would be a student El a spus ca va fi student

Traducere exacta: El a spus ca ar fi student - Conditional (numit in acest

context si Future in the Past)
791. Daca principala este la conditional prezent atunci secundara este la trecut (past tense)

I would go there if I had a passport M-as duce acolo daca as avea pasaport

797. Daca principala este la viitor, secundara dupa cum am vazut poate sa fie la orice timp.
DAR daca este introdusa prin when, until, before, after atunci secundara se pune la prezent.

You will know when I am done (NU will be done) - Vei sti cand am
terminat
I will stay here until the rain stops (NU: the rain will stop) - Voi sta aici
pana se opreste ploaia.

792. Daca principala este la conditional trecut atunci secundara este la mai mult ca perfectul

I would have gone there if I had had a passsport. - M-as fi dus acolo daca as
fi avut pasaport.

798. Daca principala este la conditional prezent si secundara contine verbul ito be acesta devine were la toate
persoanele

I would have my own car if I were 18. - As avea masina mea daca as avea
18 ani.

793. Daca secundara exprima un adevar absolut

He said that global warming is happening for real A spus ca incalzirea

globala se intampla cu adevarat. - nu was happening
They recited the poem that is the longest in the world. - A recitat poezia care
e cea mai lunga din lume - nu was the longest
794. Daca secundara descrie un loc, da o explicatie sau face o comparatie.

He lived in a town where everybody rides horses. - Locuia intr-un oras unde
toti oamenii calaresc cai.
He went to Brasov because he is from there. - S-a dus la Brasov pentru ca e
de acolo
They said that old cars are best. - Ei au spus ca masinile vechi sunt cele mai
bune
795. Daca secundara joaca rolul de adjectiv (este o propozitie atributiva) de exemplu:

Elevul a compus o poezie care imi place foarte mult The student
composed a poem that I like very much.(si nu that I liked)

799. Principalele care contin as if (ca si cum), if (daca), if only(doar daca), it is time (este timpul, este cazul) si
wish that (a dori sa) sunt urmate de secundare la trecut.

I wish I was younger Imi doresc sa fiu mai tanar

It is time you stopped feeling sorry for yourself Este cazul sa nu-ti mai
plangi de mila.
She plays the violin as if her life depended on it Canta la vioara ca si cum
ii depinde viata de asta (altfel isi da duhul).
800. Sa presupunem ca Alice zice:

I want to buy this car tomorrow - Vreau sa cumpar masina asta maine.
Aceasta este vorbirea directa.
Alice a zis ca vrea sa cumpere masina asta maine este vorbire indirecta.
Asa cum rezulta din aceasta constructie acest gen de fraza cere intotdeauna
atentie sporita la concordanta timpurilor.
801. Daca atunci cand povestim ce a spus Alice suntem in aceeasi zi si langa masina spunem:

796. May din secundara se transforma in might la trecut, daca secundara a fost introdusa cu that.

He hopes he may get another chance Spera sa mai primeasca o sansa.

He hoped he might get another chance. - Spera sa mai primeasca o sansa.
sau (fara may si might)
He hoped he got another chance.

Alice said (that) she wanted to buy this car tommorow. - Alice a zis ca vrea
sa cumpere masina asta maine.
Vorbirea indirecta se introduce prin that (ca in romana, Alice a spus ca...)
Dar acesta poate lipsi.
Daca suntem in viitor si nu langa masina spunem:
Alice said that she wanted to buy that car the next day.

In loc de that putem zice the one I told you about sau doar the car etc ca si
in romaneste.
802. Daca vrem sa spunem

Alice said to me that... (Alice mi-a spus mie...) se inlocuieste verbul

to say cu to tell . Alice told me...
803. Iata o lista de schimbari care pot fi necesare la vorbirea indirecta:

this devine that

these devine those
now devine then
tomorrow devine the next day
today devine that day
yesterday devine the day before
ago devine before
next week poate deveni last week

14.CATEVA DIFERENTE DINTRE ENGLEZA BRITANICA

SI AMERICANA
857. In engleza americana present perfect este mult mai putin folosit si este inlocuit de past tense.

Am pregatit masa pentru petrecere

devine
I have prepared the meal for the party engleza britanica
I prepared the meal for the party engleza americana
Aceste diferente exista si in cazul folosirii adverbelor already, just si yet
tocmai am ajuns acasa devine
I've just got home engleza britanica
I just got home engleza americana.

In engleza americana
august 23rd, 1944

861. Substantivele colective
Un substantiv care exprima un grup: armata, comitet, stol etc

In engleza britanica un substantiv colectiv e la singular (verbul se pune la

singular) daca in cadrul propozitiei intelesul e de bloc care actioneaza ca
unul si la plural in sens contrar
A committee was appointed - A fost numit un comitet
The committee were unable to agree - Comitetul nu s-a (s-au in engleza)
putut pune de acord
In engleza americana totdeauna aceste substantive sunt la singular
The committee was unable to agree
862. Auxiliarul shall e putin folosit in engleza americana.

Iar shan't (forma negativa) nu e folosit deloc in engleza americana.

858. In engleza americana verbul to have - a avea, in forma sa de verb de sine statator, nu de auxiliar, de multe ori
este inlocuit de have got.

I have got a farm poate inlocui I have a farm. - Am o ferma

in engleza britanica
to get got got
in engleza americana
este deseori folosita si forma

urmatoarea constructie:

I want to go eat - Vreau sa merg sa mananc

I wish to help build the house - Vreau sa ajut sa se construiasca casa
Can you come see a movie? - Poti sa vii sa vezi un film?
in loc de
I want to go to eat
I wish to help to build the house

Engleza britanica in schimb zice:
I want to go and eat
I wish to help and build the house
Can you come and see a movie?

864. Engleza americana are tendinta (cateodata) de a taia sufixele adjectivelor formate cu ing, din participiu (cu
ed) sau genitivul saxon('s).
Prezentam mai jos forma americana, forma englezeasca si traducerea pentru cateva exemple.

jump rope - skipping rope - coarda (de sarit)
