Forma interogativ-negativa Will I not come ? Will you not come ? Will he not come ? Will we not come ? Will you not come ? Will they not come ? B. INTREBUINTARE (cand folosim acest aspect al Viitorului in vorbire) 1. Viitorul Simplu il folosim in legatura cu asteptari, predictii, opinii sau presupuneri care se vor desfasura in viitor. Don't worry. She'll come back. Nu te ingrijora. Se va intoarce. My son will be ten next month. Fiul meu va implini zece ani luna viitoare. 2. Viitorul Simplu se foloseste pentru a descrie actiuni obisnuite ce vor avea loc in viitor. Drivers will always have to pay their speed tickets. Soferii intotdeauna vor trebui sa-si achite amenzile pentru depasirea vitezei. Babies will be born and old people will die, as usual.

Perfectul Prezent Simplu ( Present Perfect ) In lectia aceasta vom vedea cum se formeaza si cand se intrebuinteaza Perfectul Prezent al unui verb.

A. FORMARE Perfectul Prezent se formeaza cu auxiliarul to have( have, has ) urmat de participiul trecut al verbului de conjugat. ( Nu uitati: la un verb regulat, participiul trecut se formeaza prin adaugarea terminatiei -ed; la verbele neregulate, el reprezinta a treia forma de baza.) 1. Forma afirmativa: I have arrived You have arrived He has arrived We have arrived You have arrived They have arrived 2. Forma interogativa : Have I arrived ? Have you arrived ? Has he arrived ? Has she arrived ? Have we arrived ? Have you arrived ? Have they arrived ? 3.

Forma interogativ-negativa Have I not arrived ? Have you not arrived ? Has he not arrived ? Has she not arrived ? Have we not arrived ? Have you not arrived ? Have they not arrived ? IMPORTANT !!! Perfectul Prezent se foloseste cel mai adesea atunci cand dorim sa scoatem in evidenta un efect pe care il are in prezent o actiune desfasurata in trecut. Ex: I have eaten = Am mancat (deci nu mai imi este foame). Somebody has stolen my pen = Cineva mi-a furat stiloul (asadar nu mai am cu ce scrie) B. INTREBUINTARE (cand folosim acest aspect al Prezentului in vorbire)

1.Perfectul Prezent descrie o actiune trecuta, ale carei efecte se fac inca simtite in prezent I have sold my car. Eu mi-am mandut masina(efect=trebuie sa merg la slujba cu autobuzul) He has read that book. El a citit acea carte (efect=ii cunoaste continutul) 2. Perfectul Prezent se foloseste impreuna cu indicatori temporali nedefiniti, cum ar fi: ever, never, before, yet, already, dar niciodata cu indicatori temporali definiti, precum yesterday, last week, a month ago. She has never seen such a car. Ea niciodata nu a vazut o asemenea masina. I have already solved that problem. Eu deja am rezolvat acea problema. 3. Perfectul Prezent se foloseste pentru a descrie o actiune care a inceput in trecut si se continua si in momentul vorbirii(aceeasi parte a zilei, aceeasi zi, acelasi an, etc). We haven't eaten today yet. Azi inca nu am mancat. 4. Folosit impreuna cu just acest timp descrie ceea ce s-a intamplat de curand. In romana acest lucru se exprima cu perfectul compus si adverbul tocmai. They have just got married. Ei tocmai s-au casatorit. We have just arrived. Noi tocmai ce am sosit. 5. Perfectul Prezent descrie o actiune inceputa in trecut si care se prelungeste in prezent. In acest caz, se traduce cu prezentul: How long have they been here? De cand sunt ei aici? She has been here for three days. Ea se afla aici de trei zile. 6. Perfectul Prezent simplu se foloseste cu expresiile: This is the first time... si It's (a long time) since...

Perfectul Prezent Continuu ( Present Perfect Continuous) In lectia aceasta vom vedea cum se formeaza si cand se intrebuinteaza Perfectul Prezent Continuu al unui verb. A. FORMARE Perfectul Prezent Continuu se formeaza cu auxiliarul to have( have, has ) urmat de aspectul continuu al participiului trecut al verbului de conjugat. (participiul trecut simplu: worked, cleaned; participiul trecut continuu: been working, been cleaning.) 1. Forma afirmativa: I have been walking You have been walking He has been walking We have been walking You have been walking They have been walking 2. Forma interogativa :

Have I been walking ? Have you been walking ? Has he been walking ? Has she been walking ? Have we been walking ? Have you been walking ? Have they been walking ? 3. Forma negativa : I have not been walking You have not been walking He has not been walking She has not been walking We have not been walking You have not been walking They have not been walking 4. Forma interogativ-negativa Have I not been walking ? Have you not been walking ? Has he not been walking ? Has she not been walking ? Have we not been walking ? Have you not been walking ? Have they not been walking ? B. INTREBUINTARE (cand folosim acest aspect al Prezentului in vorbire) Perfectul Prezent continuu se foloseste aproximativ in aceleasi situatii ca si Prezentul Perfect simplu. Totusi, accentueaza ideea de continuare in prezent a actiunii descrise: He has read that book. A citit acea carte. ( Deja cunoaste continutul) He has been reading that book for three hours. Citeste cartea aceea de trei ore. (si inca n-a terminat-o) Prezentul Continuu ( Present Continuous) In lectia aceasta vom vedea cum se formeaza si cand se intrebuinteaza Prezentul Continuu al unui verb. 1. La forma afirmativa auxiliarul apare de cele mai multe ori in forma sa contrasa: I'm running You're runnning He's running We're running They're running 2. La forma interogativa se inverseaza ordinea dintre subiect si auxiliar: Am I running? Are you running?

Is he running? Is she running? Are we running? Are you running? Are they running? 3. La forma negativa cuvantul not precedat de auxiliar apare de cele mai multe ori in forma sa contrasa (dar niciodata dupa am) : I' m not running You aren't running He isn't running She isn't running We aren't running You aren't running They aren't running 4. Forma interogativ-negativa Am I not running ? Aren't you running ? Isn't herunning ? Isn't she running ? Aren't we running ? Aren't you running ? Aren't they running ? B. INTREBUINTARE (cand folosim acest aspect al Prezentului in vorbire) 1. Pentru a descrie o actiune in curs de desfasurare in momentul vorbirii. In acest caz, este insotit adesea de o indicatie temporala, cum ar fi now, at the moment Look! He's wasing his car. Priveste! El isi spala masina. What are you doing there? Ce faci acolo? 2. Pentru a descrie pozitiile corpului: She's standing. Ea sta in picioare He's leaning against a wall. El sta sprijinit de un perete. 3. Cand e vorba de o actiune viitoare, prevazuta sau programata: They're buying a new house in May. Ei isi cumpara o casa noua in luna mai. What are you doing next Monday? Ce faci lunea viitoare? 4. Cand e vorba de ceva care s-ar putea produce in orice moment: He looks funny when he's playing his trumpet. Arata comic atunci cand canta la trompeta. 5. Impreuna cu always, pentru a exprima iritarea sau dezaprobarea: She's always coming in when we talk something important. Intotdeauna trebuie sa intre in camera fix cand vorbim noi lucruri importante.

Prezentul Simplu In lectiile trecute am invatat despre anumite parti de vorbire care nu cereau enorm de mult efort pentru a fi retinute, insa incepand cu lectia de acum vom invata din tainele Verbului. Si asa cum va asteptati probabil, vom incepe cu Prezentul. Numai ca in limba engleza Prezentul are doua forme: una simpla si una continua. In lectia aceasta vom vedea cum se formeaza si cand se intrebuinteaza forma simpla a Prezentului unui verb. A. FORMARE 1. La forma afirmativa se foloseste infinitivul fara particula "to" al verbului: to run / run I run You run We run They run La persoana a III-a singular se adauga terminatia -s: He runs She runs 2.La forma interogativa se foloseste auxiliarul do sau does (la persoana a III-a singular) urmat de verb: Do I run? Do you run? Does he run? Does she run? Do we run? Do you run? Do they run? Observati ca numai auxiliarul se conjuga! 3.La forma negativa se foloseste do not(cu forma sa contrasa don't) sau does not(cu forma sa contrasa doesn't) pentru persoana a III-a singular: I do not (don't) run You do not (don't) run He does not (doesn't) run She does not (doesn't) run We do not (don't) run You do not (don't) run They do not (don't) run 4.La forma interogativ-negativa se foloseste don't / doesn't, inversandu-se ordinea dintre subiect si auxiliar. Forma contrasa e cel mai des folosita: Don't I run ? Don't you run ? Doesn't he run ? Doesn't she run ? Don't we run ?

Don't you run ? Don't they run ? B. INTREBUINTARE (cand folosim acest aspect al Prezentului in vorbire) 1. Pentru a descrie o actiune care se repeta in mod regulat: I go to school every day. Merg la scoala in fiecare zi. Do you brush your teeth every day? Te speli pe dinti zilnic? 2. Pentru a exprima un obicei: He reads a lot. El citeste mult She doesn't smoke. Ea nu fumeaza 3.

Pentru a reda o succesiune de evenimente scurte: He unlocks the door, comes in and takes off his shoes near the door. El descuie usa, intra si se descalta langa usa. 5. Pentru a exprima o actiune programata in viitor, in special atunci cand se specifica momentul producerii ei: Your train leaves at two o'clock. Trenul tau pleaca la ora doua. We meet him tonight. Ne intalnim cu el diseara. 6. Intr-o propozitie subordonata introdusa prin if sau unless, atunci cand verbul din principala este la viitor: I'll come if they come. Voi veni daca vor veni si ei. 7. Dupa when, as soon as, before, after , intr-o fraza in care verbul din principala este la viitor: We'll tell you when we meet again. Iti vom spune cand ne vom intalni din nou. 8.- Cu verbele care exprima un sentiment (love, hate, prefer, like, dislike...) - cu verbele care nu presupun notiunea de durata ( seem, want, belong, know, mean, wish) - si cu verbele care redau cuvintele cuiva ( say, tell, ask, answer) I like movies. Imi plac filmele. You seem tired. Pari obosit. What does he mean? Ce vrea sa spuna?

SUBIECTUL I Read the text below and answer the following questions: a. Why is it important that the people living in the USA should share a common language? b. What do bilingual education programs offer the non-English-speaking schoolchildren? With the more recent growth of a multicultural, multilingual society in the United States, as in other nations of the world, the question of whether or not its population should be required to share a common language has arisen. On order to accommodate the many language groups living in the U.S., government agencies, schools, and businesses often offer their services in other languages. For example, when Florida residents go to vote for local or national candidates, they can read their ballots* in Spanish. Non-English-speaking school children, often Hispanic or Chinese, may study in bilingual education programs, in which they are taught in their native language until they master English. In this way, the children are presumed to gain a sense of identity and self-confidence, which will help them succeed in the future. *papers on which you make a secret vote SUBIECTUL II It is said that teenagers have a lot in common, that they share ideas and a certain way of behaving. Express your views on this matter. SUBIECTUL I Read the text below and answer the following questions: a. What do homeopathic doctors believe? b. What do homeopathic doctors do to cure an illness? c. What do critics say? Homeopathy was invented in Germany about 200 years ago. Homeopathic doctors believe that the symptoms of an illnes are signs that the body is trying to cure itself. To cure an illness, therefore, they give the pacient something that produces the same symptoms in a healthy person. Before a substance is used as a homeopathic remedy, it is tested by giving small doses of it to healthy persons to see what symptoms develop. For example, onions cause your eyes and nose to produce water. To cure colds, therefore, homeopathic doctors use an exctact from onions. Sometimes, homeopathic doctors use dangerous poisons as medicines, but they dilute them many thousands of times so that they are harmless. Critics say that this is no scientific support for homeopathy, and that in many cases the 'illness' would dissappear naturally anyway.They also say it is possible that simply by believing a medicine will work can help the mind to cure some simple illnesses. Homeopathic doctors, on the other hand, say that there is plenty of evidence that homeopathy works - and millions of people who take homeopathic remedies agree with them. Tests have also shown that animals can be cured with homeopathic medicine, and this, they say, proves that it cannot simply be because people believe in it. SUBIECTUL II Choose one of the teachers you have had so far and explain what makes him/her stand out among the other teachers. Point out his/her professional qualities, his/her moral and spiritual features, anything that is special about him/her. SUBIECTUL I Read the text below and answer the following questions: a. How did the United States earn its living before the 1790's? b. Who was Samuel Slater and what did he do? c. What did Slater's success lead to?

At the end of the War of Independence, the United States was mainly a land of farmers. It remained so for another hundred years. It earned its living by selling food and raw materials to other countries. In return it imported their manufactured products. Yet as early as the 1790's America's first factory opened. During the eighteenth century an Industrial Revolution had come to Britain. New machines driven by water and steam power had made possible great increases in production. In 1789 an English mechanic named Samuel Slater took the Industrial Revolution across the Atlantic to America. Before leaving England, Slater memorized the details of the latest English cotton spinning machines. He carried them in his memory because it was against the law to take plans of the machines out of England. In the United States Slater went into partnership with a businessman named Moses Brown. Together they opened a mill, or factory, to spin cotton at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Slater built the machinery for the mill from memory. It was a great success and Slater became a wealthy man. he success of Slater's cotton mill began a process of change in the United States. In time that process turned the northeast of the nation into its first important manufacturing region. (The Illustrated History of the USA) SUBIECTUL I Read the text below, identify the main ideas and comment on them: One of the dilemmas of this decade has been whether to approach education in terms of the generalist or the specialist. Some universities require all students to take a common core of courses from a broad range of disciplines, appealing to the generalist approach to education. Yet, choosing the core courses in light of today's explosion in information and diverse muticultural student populations has not been an easy task. How does one select what it is that everyone should know? Others universities continue to tailor their courses to the more immediate professional needs of their students, appealing to the specialist approach to education. But without a core curriculum, students often lack the shared knowledge necessary to particpate effectively in an integrated society. A coherent vision of an educated person in the twenty-first century has yet to be defined. SUBIECTUL II Should members of a family all try to live in the same area? Bring arguments and examples to sustain your ideas. SUBIECTUL I Read the text below, identify the main ideas and comment on them: June has her own reasons for wanting Kelly, her daughter, to become a skating star. "I started skating when I was ten," June said. "I saved all the money I could for lessons by doing errands for neighbours. But Mum and Dad were poor and when Mum saved to buy me boots, Dad said that was it...I neved skated again. I wasn't going to let that happen to Kelly." They had to take Kelly out of school so she could practise skating more. As she was still only fourteen, they had to guarantee the local authorities she'd continue her studies until she was seventeen. That meant the added cost of a private tutor at $140 a month. Kelly, now seventeen, was placed first in the last year's junior championship and has won nearly thirty competitions so far. "I know I'm very lucky," she admits. "Mum and Dad have given up their own lives just for me and I'm determined not to let them down." SUBIECTUL II Talking about friendship, how far would you go to protect it? Bring arguments and examples to support your ideas.

Ordinea cuvintelor in limba engleza

Ordinea cuvintelor in propozitie este esentiala pentru sensul propozitiei in limba engleza

Limba engleza - SVO

Engleza moderna, sau engleza vorbita astazi, este o limba analitica, ceea ce inseamna ca ordinea cuvintelor in propozitie este esentiala pentru sensul propozitiei. Spre deosebire de limbile analitice, limbile sintetice folosesc din plin inflexiunile (in special terminatiilesufixele) pentru a indica o schimbare a functiei gramaticale a unui cuvant. Limba engleza este de tipul SVO (Subject-Verb-Object = Subiect-Verb-Obiect): Tim (subiect) drinks (verb) water (obiect). Pe langa acest exemplu simplu, limba engleza poate fi foarte complexa in domeniul ordinii cuvintelor in propozitie. In general, inceputul propozitiei dezvaluie care este elementul principal al propozitiei:

- Tom gave Mary a flower. (Tom i-a dat lui Mary o floare) - vorbitorul pune atentia asupra lui Tom - Mary got a flower from Tom. (Mary a primit o floare de la Tom) - atentia este asupra lui Mary - It is that flower that Tom gave to Mary. (Pe acea floare i-a dat-o Tom lui Mary) - atentia este asupra florii De asemenea, punctul de plecare poate fi si sub forma unei necunoscute, de exemplu: - What Tom gave Mary was a flower. (Ceea ce i-a dat Tom lui Mary a fost o floare) atentia este asupra a ceea ce Tom i-a dat lui Mary) - What happened was that Tom gave Mary a flower. (Ceea ce s-a intamplat a fost ca Tom i-a dat lui Mary o floare) - atentia este asupra a ceea ce s-a intamplat

Exemple
Propozitii afirmative:
Subiect I I Subiect I Verb(e) drink must drink Verb(e) will bring water water Obiect indirect you Obiect direct the book Loc at school Timp tomorrow Obiect

Propozitii negative:
