1. O serie de substantive au pluralul neregulat:
Substantivul: Articolul
Articolul este partea de vorbire care constituie un mijloc de individualizare a fiintelor, obiectelor si fenomenelor intr-un anumit context. In limba engleza sunt 2 tipuri de articole: 1) articolul hotarat : the 2) articolul nehotarat: an (in fata substantivelor care incep cu o vocala) a (in fata substantivelor care incep cu o consoana) Exceptii: An inainte de un "h" mut: - an hour (o ora), an honor (o onoare). A inainte de "u" sau "eu" atunci cnd se pronunta ca "you": - a European, a university, a unit, a one-way street
Exemple de cazuri in care se folosesc articole hotarate si article nehotarate in limba engleza
-- Articole nehotarate in limba engleza
-- Articole hotarate in limba engleza the book = cartea the boy = baiatul the elephant = elefantul the apple = marul
3. Trebuie mentionat faptul ca exista cazuri cand articolul hotarat THE trebuie folosit in mod obligatoriu in limba engleza:
pe langa un substantiv, atunci cand acesta este folosit in sensul sau cel mai general, ca reprezentant al unei clase. In acest caz, articolul hotarat insoteste substantive la numarul singular: Ex: The boy is here. Baiatul este aici. (stim despre care baiat e vorba) pe langa nume proprii, atunci cand in structura acestora intra si un adjectiv: The United States of America, The Thames, The Mediterranean Sea, The University of Bucharest
pe langa denumiri geografice (deoarece sunt unice): The Danube, The Olt, The Sahara, The Carpathians, The Alps
pe langa nume de ziare: The Times, The Guardian. (Numele de reviste nu au de obicei niciun articol: Life, Avantaje). Lista situatiilor in care articolul THE se foloseste sau nu cu numele de tari, munti, insule, etc: se foloseste cu articolul Example THE Countries No France Countries which are in a plural Yes The USA form Countries when limited by time Yes The Spain of today Individual monutains No Mount Everest Mountains in the Bernese Yes The Jungfrau Oberland Mountain chains Yes The Carpati Islands No Sicily Groups of islands Yes The West Indies Rivers Yes The Volga Oceans Yes The Pacific Seas Yes The Mediterranean Gulfs, bays ans straits Yes The gulf of Mexico The bay of Biscay Lakes No Lake Erie Current Yes The Gulf Stream
4. Articolul hotarat (the) sau nehotarat (a, an) este acelasi pentru toate genurile (in limba engleza): a man, a woman, an actor, an actress, a table, the boy,
the girl, the day
a lot of, a couple, a great many, a great deal of cu anumite numere: a hundred, a thousand, a half-holiday, a half-portion metre in exclamatii: in expresii legate de pret, viteza, etc.: 5p a kilo, 10p a dozen, four times a day, sixty kilometres an hour, 1 a

a Mr. Smith inseamna a man called Smith si se intelege ca Mr. Smith ii este strain vorbitorului. Mr. Smith (without a ) inseamna ca vorbitorul il stie pe Mr. Smith sau stie de existenta lui.
We cant use a/the sugar, a/the milk but a/the can of sugar, a/the bottle of milk. inaintea numelor de mese, cu exceptia celor precedate de un adjectiv: We have breakfast at eight. He gave us a good breakfast. Atentie: A/an has no plural forms. So the plural of a dog is dogs , and of an egg is eggs.
7. Articolul hotarat THE mai este folosit in rmatoarele situatii (in limba engleza):
before inaintea superlativelor, a pronumelor/ adjectivelor first, second etc. si a cuvintului only:
the first (week), the best (day), the only (way) cu forma de plural a unui nume de familie semnificind "familia"
the Smiths = Mr. and Mrs. Smith (and children) = familia Smith cu obiecte unice:

Exemple
Substantivele in acuzativ sunt marcate cu albastru:

(darul fetei care ...)
Comentarii
a) Genitivul (posesia) in limba engleza se formeaza astfel:
cand posesorul este o persoana: prin adaugarea unui 's dupa posesor (obiectul posedat se afla dupa posesor in propozitie). Vezi exemplele nr. 1, 2, 4;
cand posesorii sunt mai multe pesoane: prin adaugarea unui ' (apostrof) dupa posesori (obiectul posedat se afla dupa posesori in propozitie). Vezi exemplul nr.3;
obiect posedat + of + posesor (un lucru). Vezi exemplul nr. 5; b) In exemplul nr. 6 ambele forme de genitiv sunt corecte deoarece posesorul este un grup de persoane. Aceeasi regula se aplica pentru posesori precum: government, company, committee, team, party.
c) Daca posesorul e urmat de that, who, etc se foloseste genitivul format cu "of". Vezi exemplul nr. 7.

Viitorul Simplu
(Simple Future Tense)
Cum se formeaza
will + verb
Viitorul simplu se foloseste in propozitiile simple si in cele subordonate care incep cu verbe ce exprima promisiunea, actiuni neplanificate, predictii. In aceste cazuri, de regula, in propozitia principala avem verbe precum: think, assume, expect, hope, doubt, belive, suppose, be sorry, wonder, be sure pentru a exprima opinii/ optiuni personale despre o actiune viitoare.
(predictia)
Comentarii
1) Pentru actiunile planificate in viitor nu se foloseste viitorul simplu ci "TO BE GOING TO" sau Simple Present Continuous !
Daca actiunea e planificata in decursula a 1-7 zile sau e vorba de o activitate repetitiva in viitor de regula se foloseste viitorul format cu "to be going to":
I am going to see that movie on Friday. "am going to" are sensul de "planific sa"
(Imi planific/ Intentionez sa merg vineri la acel film.) Daca actiunea e planificata mult mai tarziu (in viitor) de regula se foloseste prezentul simplu continuu:
Nota: viitorul format cu "to be going to" are nuanta de viitor apropiat; cel format cu prezentul simplu continuu nu are nici o nuanta de acest fel.
2) In propozitiile de timp nu se foloseste viitorul ! Astfel, in propozitiile introduse cu after,while, when, before, as soon as, by the
time, if nu vom avea viitor !

Comentarii
1. Pentru a exprima permisiunea in limbajul oficial/ politicos se foloseste "May"; 2. Cererea cu "Could" este may politicoasa decat cea cu "Can"; de aceea de regula cererile se fac cu "Could"; 3. "Could" este folosit in unele cazuri drept trecutul lui "Can".
Comentarii
1. "May" in situatia in care exprima posibilitatea poate fi inlocuit cu "it is
I must go.
(Trebuie sa plec -> pentru ca asta e decizia mea) Nota: Daca obligatia e externa in loc de must se va folosi "to have to":
I have to go.
(Trebuie sa plec -> pentru ca cineva ma asteapta, pentru ca trebuie sa ajung undeva; nu e o decizie subiectiva, ci una obiectiva) 2. pentru a exprima o deductie logica, o concluzie

Daca nu suntem foarte siguri de deductia logica folosim verbul "may".

Pentru a exprima un obicei in prezent folositi prezentul simplu: I (usually) spend my holidays in the mountains. De obicei imi petrec vacantele la munte. DARE ca verb modal este urmat de: a) infinitivul fara to dupa forma invariabila dare (persoana a III-a singular sau Past Tense): I wonder wheter he dare come. Ma intreb daca va indrazni sa vina.
He felt that he daren't try. Si-a dat seama ca n-are curajul sa incerce. b) infinitivul cu to, dupa participial prezent sau dupa persoana a III-a singular: Now he dares to attack me! Acum indrazneste sa ma atace! c) infinitivul cu sau fara to dupa forma de infinitiv a verbului, forma de Past Tense dared si participiul trecut: He wouldn't dare (to) tell me this. N-ar indrazni sa imi spuna acest lucru. He dared (to) write upon the subject. A avut curajul sa scrie despre acea problema. ATENTIE! Verbul dare este urmat de infinitivul cu to cand este folosit ca verb principal: He dared me to compete with him. M-a provocat la intrecere.
Exemple
Dorina went to mall but she forgot the money at home. Dorina a plecat la mall, dar si-a uitat banii acasa. Will you come or should I come?
Vii tu sau sa vin eu? I didn't call you yesterday because I was busy. Nu te-am sunat ieri pentru ca am fost ocupata.

A. Conjunctiile coordonatoare (Coordinating Conjunctions) Conjunctiile coordonatoare leaga parti de propozitie cu aceeasi functie sintactica sau propozitii de acelasi fel. 1.

Plangea in timp ce vorbea. sau sinonim al lui while: As I was crossing the street, I heard somebody call my name. In timp ce/ Pe cand traversam strada, am auzit pe cineva strigandu-mi numele.
Since presupune un argument admis de interlocutor: Since you need this book, i'll get it for you. Deoarece ai nevoie de carte, am sa ti-o iau. Cand folosim conjunctia unless, verbul din propozitia conditionala este la forma pozitiva: You can't see me unless you call me first. Nu ma poti vedea decat daca ma suni inainte.

There is no comma after say in indirect speech. That can usually be omitted after say and tell + object. But it should be kept after other verbs: complain, explain, object, point out, protest etc. Indirect speech is normally used when conversation is reported verbally, although direct speech is sometimes used for a more dramatic effect. When we turn direct speech into indirect (reported) speech, some changes are usually necessary. TENSE CHANGES 1. Indirect Speech can be introduced by a verb in a present tense:
He sais that . (El a spus c.) - vorbirea indirecta = reporting a conversation that is still going on = reading a letter and reporting what it sais = reading instructions and reporting them = reporting a statement that someone makes very often: Tom sais that he ll never get married.
2. Indirect Speech is usually introduced by a verb in the past tense: - vorbirea indirecta
(Eu niciodat nu mnnc carne explic el). Present Continuous - Vorbirea directa "I m waiting for Ann" he said. (O atept pe Ana spuse el). Present Perfect - Vorbirea directa "I have found a flat" she said. (Am gsit un apartament spuse ea). Present Perfect Continuous - Vorbirea directa He said "I ve been waiting for ages". (El spuse: Am ateptat o groaz de timp.) Simple Past - Vorbirea directa "I took it home with me" she said. (L-am luat acas cu mine spuse ea.) Future - Vorbirea directa He said, "I shall/will be in Rome on Monday". (El spuse: Voi fi n Roma luni.) Future Continuous - Vorbirea directa "I will/shall be using the car on the 1st " she said. (Voi folosi maina pe data de 1 spuse ea) Conditional - Vorbirea directa I said, "I would/should like to see it" . (Eu am spus: A vrea s o vd.)
(El explic faptul c nu mnca niciodat carne.) Past Continuous - Vorbirea indirecta = He said (that) he was waiting for Ann. (Spuse c o atepta pe Ann). Past Perfect - Vorbirea indirecta = She said (that) she had found a flat. (Ea spuse c i gsise un apartament). Past Perfect Continuous - Vorbirea indirecta = He said (that)he had been waiting for ages. (El spuse c ateptase o groaz de timp). Past Perfect - Vorbirea indirecta = She said she had taken it home with her. (Ea spuse c l luase acas cu ea.) Conditional - Vorbirea indirecta = he said he would be in Rome on Monday. (El spuse c va fi n Roma luni.) = Conditional Continuous - Vorbirea indirecta She said shed be using the car on the 1st. (Ea spuse c va folosi maina pe data de 1). Conditional - Vorbirea indirecta I said I would/should like to see it. (Eu am spus c a vrea s o vd.)
3. Note on I/we shall/should I/ we shall normally becomes he/she/they would in indirect speech: "I shall be 21 tomorrow" said Bill = Bill said he would be 21 the following day. (Voi mplini 21 ani mine. Spuse Bill. = Bill spuse c va mplini 21 ani n ziua urmtoare.) But if the sentence is reported by the original speaker, I/we shall can become either I/we should or I/we would.
1.
In spoken English, past tenses usually remain unchanged. He said, "Ann arrived on Monday". = He said Ann (had) arrived on Monday. (El spuse: Ann a ajuns luni. = El spuse c Ann ajunsese (a ajuns) luni.) He said, "When I saw them they were playing tennis" . = He said that when he saw them they were playing tennis.
(El spuse: "Cnd i-am vzut eu, jucau tenis. = El spuse c atunci cnd i-a vzut, jucau tenis.) 2. A past tense used to describe a state of affairs which still exists when the speech is reported remains unchanged: She said, "I decided not to buy the house because it was on a main road". = She said that she had decided not to buy the house because it was on a main road. (Ea spuse: M-am hotrt s nu cumpr casa pentru c era pe strada principal. = Ea spuse c s-a hotrt s nu cumpere casa pentru c era pe strada principal).

Unreal past tenses after wish, would rather/sooner and it is time do not change: "It s time we began planning our holidays" he said. = He said that it was time they began planning their holidays. (Este timpul s ncepem s ne planificm concediul. Spuse el. = El spuse c era timpul s nceap s i planifice concediul.) 2. I/he/she/we/they had better remains unchanged. You had better can remain unchanged or be reported by advise + object + infinitive. "Youd better not drink the water" she said = She advised us not to drink water. (Mai bine nu ai bea ap. Spuse ea. = Ne suger s nu bem ap.)
3.
Conditional sentences remain unchanged. "If my children were older, I would emigrate" he said. = He said that if his children were older, he would emigrate. (Dac ar fi mai mari copiii mei, a emigra. Spuse el. = el spuse c dac ar fi mai mari copiii lui, ar emigra.)
1. Might remains unchanged except when it is used as a request form: He said, "Ann might ring today." = He said that Ann might ring that day. (El spuse: S-ar putea s sune Ann astzi. = El spuse c s-ar putea s sune Ann n acea zi.) 2. Ought to/should for obligation or assumption remains unchanged: "They ought to widen this road" I said. = I said that they ought to widen this road. (Ar trebui s lrgeasc strada. Spuse el. = El spuse c ar trebui s lrgeasc strada.) 3. Would in statements does not change. "Id be very grateful if youd keep me informed" he said. = He asked me to keep him informed. (A fi foarte recunosctor dac m-ai ine la curent.Spuse el = El m rug s l in la current.) 4. Used to does not change.
"I know the place well because I used to live here" he explained. = He explained that he knew the place well because he used to live there. (Cunosc bine locul pentru c am stat acolo. Explic el. = El explic faptul c tia locul pentru c a stat acolo.)
Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second to third person, except when the speaker is reporting his own words: I said, "I like my new house" = I said that I liked my new house. (Am spus: mi place casa mea nou. = El a spus c i plcea casa lui nou.) This used in time expressions usually becomes that. This, these used as pronouns can become it, they/them. He said, "We will discuss them tomorrow". = He said that they will discuss it (the matter) the next day. (El a spus: Vom discuta (problema) mine. = El a spus c vor discuta (problema) yiua urmtoare.)
1. Say and tell with direct speech Say can introduce a statement or follow it, while tell requires the person addressed. Inversion of say and noun subject is possible, when say follows the statement, but inversion with tell is not possible. "Im leaving at once" Tom said. (Plec odat. A spus Tom) - vorbirea directa "Im leaving at once" Tom told me. (Plec odat. Mi-a spus Tom) - vorbirea directa 2. Say and tell with indirect speech Indirect statements are normally introduced by say, or tell + object.
Say + to + object is also possible, but much less usual than tell + object.
Concordanta timpurilor in limba engleza - Gramatica limbii engleze Concordanta timpurilor in limba engleza
Este acordul obligatoriu al timpului verbului din subordonata cu timpul verbului din regenta sa. In limba engleza timpul verbului din subordonata trebuie sa se subordoneze timpului verbului din regenta. Cu alte cuvinte timpurile verbelor din regente dicteaza folosirea anumitor timpuri in subordonatele lor. Exista in acest sens trei reguli de cunoscut si aplicat. Regula I: Daca in regenta verbul este la Present Tense sau Present Perfect Tense in subordonata se poate folosi orice timp:
... he had gone = el mersese ... he went = el a mers ... he will go= el va merge
Regula II: Daca in regenta verbul este la trecut in subordonata el trebuie sa fie la unul din cele trei timpuri trecute ale limbii engleze: The Past Perfect, The Past Tense, The Future in the Past. REGENTA Verbul este la trecut
(Past Tense Simple, Past Tense Continuous, Past Perfect Simple, Past Perfect Continuous)
a) Past Tense actiune simultana Past Tense He said = El a spus ... he was ill = ca este bolnav b) Past Tense actiune anterioara Past Perfect He said = El a spus ... he had returned home a week before
Atentie: Daca intr-o fraza exista doua propozitii secundara cu actiunea anterioara celei din principala, se poate folosi Past Perfect in mod repetat. Ex. She said she had forgotten where she had put her glasses. (Ea a spus ca uitase unde si-a pus ochelarii.) c) Past Tenseactiunea posterioar Future-in-the-Past He said = El a spus ... he would leave the next day = ca va pleca a doua zi . Atentie: Daca intr-o fraza exista doua propozitii secundare cu actiune posterioara celei din principala, dintre care una este temporala sau conditionala. Future-inthe-Past se poate folosi numai o singura data, dupa care (in temporala sau conditionala) se intrebuinteaza Past Tense (pentru simultaneitate) sau Past Perfect (pentru anterioritate). He said = El a spus ... he would buy a car if he had money = ca va cumpara o masina daca va avea bani Regula III: Daca verbul din regenta este la viitor in subordonatele conditionale si temporale, el trebuie sa fie la Present Tense sau Present Perfect Tense, iar daca subordonata este completiva directa verbul va fi la viitor. REGENTA Verbul este la viitor SUBORDONATA Teoretic se poate folosi orice timp cerut de sens, cu exceptia propozitii temporale sau conditionale, care nu pot include un verb la viitor.
a) Future actiune simultana Present I will read this book = Voi citi aceasta carte avea timp when I have time =cnd voi
b)Future actiune anterioara Present Perfect I will go to England = Voi merge in Anglia after I have received a visa= dupa ce voi obtine viza
c) verbul va fi la orice timp in subordonata completiva directa I shall see what = Eu voi vedea ce I shall do. = voi face. Nota: In limba engleza contemporana, se poate observa uneori o oarecare tendinta de a nu se respecta concordanta timpurilor atunci cnd verbul din propozitia principala este la trecut. Se poate intlni, de exemplu, o formulare de tipul: He said he loves me". Este posibil ca ceea ce apare acum ca tendinta, cu timpul, sa ajunga regula. Pentru moment insa, sfatuim pe vorbitorii romni de limba engleza sa respecte regulile de concordanta a timpurilor asa cum sunt prezentate mai sus. EXCEPTII (deci cazuri cand nu se aplica regulile de concordanta a timpurilor) 1. Cand in subordonata se exprima un adevar stiintific /general. Everybody knew that gold is a metal. = Toata lumea stia ca aurul este metal. I told you that silver is gray. = Ti-am spus ca argintul este gri. 2. Cand subordonata este: a) cauzala He will not go to school because he didn't learn his lessons. = El nu va merge la scoala pentru ca nu si-a invatat lectiile. We shall go on the trip because they gave us the money. = Vom merge in excursie pentru ca ei ne-au dat banii. b) atributiva You will see the man who wrote that book. = Il vei vedea pe omul care a scris cartea aceea. I saw the girl who will play the piano. = Am vazut fata care va canta la pian. c) comparativ modala Tomorrow I shall work more than I worked yesterday. = Maine voi munci mai mult decat am muncit ieri.

Timpurile verbelor in orice limba sunt folosite pentru a exprima diferite situatii legate de succesiunea evenimentelor, a actiunilor pe scara timpului. Vei observa ca timpurile verbelor in limba engleza nu corespunde in mod direct unui timp din limba romana. Asta nu e o problema. Invatand si exersind intelegerea timpurilor se poate face relativ usor. Academia de Engleza va ofera o serie de articole pentru intelegerea timpurilor limbii engleze.
