CURS DE ENGLEZA IN 900 DE PASI
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)
2. Some se foloseste ca plural pentru articolul nehotarat.

In limba engleza, articolul nehotarat nu are plural.
In limba romana insa, articolul nehotarat are la plural forma niste.
Acesta se traduce prin some care in limba engleza apartine altei categorii gramaticale.
niste baieti - some boys
niste fete - some girls
niste unchi - some uncles
niste matusi - some aunts
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
1
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
2
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

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 inalt - a tall boy
niste baieti inalti - some tall boys
o fata inalta - a tall girl

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

50. 's se numeste genitivul saxon sau posessive case.
E mult mai folosit decat forma cu of.
Este folosit mai ales pentru fiinte dar se foloseste din ce in ce mai mult si pentru lucruri.
De remarcat faptul ca of pastreaza ordinea din romana a cuvintelor, pe cand 's inverseaza aceasta ordine:
acoperisul casei
the roof of the house
dar
the house's roof
unde
roof = acoperis
house = casa
51. Genitivul saxon 's se foloseste: la singularul substantivelor:
my brother's friend - prietenul fratelui meu
the cat's kittens - pisoii pisicii
the garden's flowers - florile gradinii
52. Genitivul saxon 's se foloseste si la pluralele care nu se termina in s:
men - barbat, men's - barbatilor

53. Daca substantivul e la plural si se termina cu s, genitivul saxon devine numai apostrof si nu se citeste

The girls' recital is tomorrow. - Recitalul fetelor are loc maine
54. Daca substantivul e la singular se pune 's chiar daca se termina in s:

complementul direct nu se pune to altfel se pune.
Complementul direct raspunde la intrebarea: pe cine? sau ce?

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.

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.

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
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
Un exemplu cand se folosesc verbele modale este urmatorul:
May I come? - Am voie sa vin?
Must I come? - Trebuie sa vin?
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)
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
33
216. To have - a avea

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
217. To do - a face
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.
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.
222. To talk - a vorbi
Present tense este:
34
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
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
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.

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
226. I am - I'm
Verbul to be la prezent se foloseste foarte mult (inclusiv ca auxiliar) intr-o forma contractata

I'm a lion tamer - Sunt imblanzitor de lei

dar si
I'm playing the piano - Cant la pian
They're singing my favorite song - Ei canta cantecul meu favorit
35
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.
De exemplu nu se poate zice ca inteleg ceva acum dar stiu ca peste un timp n-am sa mai inteleg acel lucru.
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

ca verb posesiv nu admite forma continua
I am having a car nu e corect
dar

to imagine - a-si imagina
nu au forma continua.
I hear a bell. - Aud un clopot
dar
You're hearing things sau
You're imagining things.
Inseamna ca auzi sau iti imaginezi lucruri care nu sunt adevarate
231. to think - a gandi, a crede (mai rar)
To think cu sensul de a gandi are forma continua.
Dar in sensul de a crede nu are

I think you are wrong. - Cred ca nu ai dreptate.
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.
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)
233. Present Tense se foloseste:

44
I am an actress - Eu sunt actrita. (sunt actrita e predicat nominal)

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

to become - a deveni
to seem - a parea
She is funny - Ea este nostima
Budgies become frightened easily - Papagalii perus devin usor speriati

to prove - a dovedi

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

288. Daca celelalte verbe prezentate
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)
I grow a tree - Cresc un copac: verb de actiune

I would inseamna as vrea

Tom: I will call you!- Am sa va sun!
Bill I know you would (like to call us), but they might not have phones - Stiu ca ai vrea sa ne suni, dar s-ar
putea sa nu aiba telefoane.
305. La diateza pasiva ca si la diateza activa conditionalul nu se schimba in functie de persoana (you, he,

I would be asked by my teacher - As fi intrebat de profesoara.
306. Conditionalul prezent continuu

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 raspunde chiar acum la intrebari
308. Si Conditionalul Prezent Continuu ca si conditionalul prezent ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele.
I would be flying
You would be flying
He would be flying
She would be flying
We would be flying
You would be flying
They would be flying

310. Conditionalul Trecut e de forma:
49

sau

311. Conjugarea Conditionalului trecut e neschimbata la toate persoanele
In cazul verbelor neregulate se foloseste forma a treia.
Conjugare: to ask (regulat), to eat (neregulat)
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

312. Diateza pasiva - Conditionalul Trecut
Ca si pana acum nici aceasta forma nu se schimba in functie de persoana (You, he, she etc)

316. Conditionalul Trecut Continuu nu are forma pasiva.
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
B daca A - B if A.
50
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
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).
318. If Clauses - Regula nr1
Daca B e la viitor dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune prezentul
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
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
Daca B contine connditionalul trecut, dupa if, adica in propozitia A se pune past perfect
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
51
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:
Everyone knows that he passes exams - Toata lumea stie ca el ia examenele
Deci he passes si nu he pass deoarece dupa cum vom vedea aceasta propozitie in engleza (sau romana) nu
cere subjonctivul.
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).
52
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)
53
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
2.Verbe care exprima obligatii: (to make, to cause, to induce)
You made him cry! (fara to) - L-ai facut sa planga!

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.
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

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
54
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
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

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
Sleeping beauty - Frumoasa adormita
Jumping bean - fasole saritoare (o varietate de fasole)
55
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
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.
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
56
I started to believe/believing him - Am inceput sa il cred

I tried to finish/finishing this - Am incercat sa termin aceasta
355. Verbe care sunt folosite numai cu infinitivul:
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
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
I like to ski - Im place sa schiez
I like skiing - Imi place schiatul
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.
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
57
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
By passing this round I am now qualified for the final - Trecand de aceasta runda, m-am calificat pentru
finale.
On meeting the president he was speechless - La intalnirea cu presedintele el a ramas fara cuvinte
Instead of going to the circus, let's go to the zoo.- In loc sa mergem la circ hai sa mergem la zoo.
Let's talk about catching rhinos - Hai sa vorbim despre prinderea de rinoceri
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.
58
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!
Observatie:
Be careful! inseamna Fii atent la ce faci. Fii atent! la lectie se zice Pay attention!
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
59
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!
371. Alte exemple de imperativ:

Watch out! - Pazea!
Watch it! - Vezi cum vorbesti!

Brace yourself - Imbarbateaza-te!
Get a grip - Aduna-te!
Hang in there! - Rezista!
372. Negativul verbului to be la present tense se formeaza astfel:
I am not - Nu sunt
You are not - Nu esti
He is not - El nu e
She is not - Ea nu e!
We are not - Nu suntem
You are not - Nu sunteti

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

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.
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
60
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.
377. Do not se contracta in don't. Did not in didn't

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
65
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.

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
must - trebuie
shall - exprima o promisiune
should - ar trebui
ought to - ar trebui
434. Verbele Modale - Caracteristici
1. Nu accepta particula to la infinitiv.
To can inseamna a face conserve.
Este altceva decat can - a putea.
2. Nu au s la prezent persoana a treia:
I can draw - Eu pot, stiu sa desenez
You can talk, now - Ai voie (poti), acum sa vorbesti
He can hurt himself up there - Se poate rani acolo sus.
She can sing like an angel - Ea poate sa cante ca un inger
We can trust them - Putem avea incredere in ei.
You can go together - Puteti merge impreuna
Shhh, they can hear you. - Shhh, pot sa te auda.
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
can se inlocuieste cu to be able to
may se inlocuieste cu to be allowed to
must se inlocuieste cu to have to
4.La fel ca verbul to be verbele modale nu formeaza interogativul folosind verbul to do ci prin inversarea
verbului cu subiectul.
You can help me - Poti sa ma ajuti
Can you help me? - Poti sa ma ajuti
73
He can hear me. - El poate sa ma auda?

Can he hear me? - Poate sa ma auda?
I can come - Pot sa vin (sa fiu acolo).
Can I come? - Pot sa vin?
May I? - Imi dai voie?
Yes, you may - Da, te las.
I must take this medicine. - Trebuie sa iau acest medicament.
Must I take this medicine? - Trebuie sa iau acest medicament?
No, you don't have to. - Nu, nu trebuie.
Could you help me? - Ai putea sa ma ajuti?
5.Ca si verbul to be ele nu formeaza negativul folosind verbul to do.
Yes, I can help you - Da, pot sa te ajut.
No, I can not help you. - Nu, nu te pot ajuta
Yes, he can hear you.- Da, el te aude.
No, he can not hear you.- Nu, el nu te aude.
You must add the butter - Trebuie sa adaugi untul
You must not devine deobicei shouldn't
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
will - won't
would - wouldn't
must - mustn't
shall - shan't (nu se foloseste)
should - shouldn't
ought to - oughtn't (nu se foloseste)

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

It shouldn't take long - N-ar trebui sa dureze mult
444. Pentru probabilitati se poate folosi can in cazul a ceva posibil la modul general:
Train tickets can be expensive. - Biletele de tren pot fi scumpe
445. Cand vorbim de posibilitati specifice folosim could

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

already - deja
never - niciodata
seldom - rareori
110

(propozitii cu not).

12.CONCORDANTA TIMPURILOR
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.
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
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.
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
127
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)
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.
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.
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.
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:
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
128
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

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.
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

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

A committee was appointed - A fost numit un comitet

In engleza americana totdeauna aceste substantive sunt la singular
