Formule de salut
Hi, Hello = Bun, Salut
 How are you? = Ce faci?
I'm fine. I'm OK. I'm all right, thank you. = Bine/Sunt bine, multumesc.
Bye. See you. = Pa. Ne mai vedem.
Goodbye. = La revedere
All my best. = Toate cele bune.
Regards. = Salutri.
n limba englez, ca i n limba romn, formele de salut se formeaz i n funcie de momentul zilei:
Good morning = Bun dimineaa
Good afternoon = Bun ziua
Good evening = Buna seara
Good night = Noapte bun
Putem transmite salutri prin intermediul unei alte persoane cu expresii ca cele care urmeaz:
Send her my best (wishes)/regards/respect. = Transmite-i toate cele bune/respectele mele.
Say hello/hi/goodbye for me. = Salut-i din partea mea.
Pronumele personale n limba englez au urmtoarele forme la Nominativ:

I = eu

you = tu

he/she/it = el/ea

we = noi

you = voi

they = ei/ele

I se scrie mereu cu majuscul, indiferent de poziia sa n cadrul frazei.

Pentru persoana a II-a, indiferent c e vorba de singular sau plural, exist o singur form:you. Tot aceast form
apare i atunci cnd ne adresm cuiva cu dumneavoastr. Pronumele de politee nu cere modificarea formei
pronumelui personal. Astfel, propoziia You are so kind., spre exemplu, se traduce n limba romn n trei
moduri diferite, toate fiind corecte, dar dependente de context: (Tu) eti att de bun./ (Dumneavoastr) suntei att
de bun./ (Voi) suntei att de buni.
Pentru persoana a III-a, din contr, apare o form care nu are un corespondent specific n limba romn: it. Acest
pronume este folosit numai atunci cnd vorbim despre obiecte, lucruri, fenomene. Pentru persoane, folosim he/she,
n funcie de gen.
They este pronumele ce desemneaz persoana a III-a, plural. Nu are gen, existnd o singur form att pentru
pluralul pronumelor he, she, ct i pentru pluralul lui it.

Exemple in Propozitii la Nominativ:

I am happy to hear that. = Eu sunt fericit s aud asta.
You take care of her. = (Tu) Ai grij de ea.
She has to go to a meeting. = Ea trebuie s mearg la edin.
He took a mansion. It costs a fortune. = El i-a luat vil. Aceea cost o avere.
We need to talk to our teacher. = Noi trebuie s vorbim cu profesorul.
What are you doing here? = Ce facei voi aici?
They left in a hurry. = Ei au plecat n grab.

La Acuzativ, formele pronumelui personal sunt:

me = pe mine (sau cu alte prepoziii: de mine, pentru mine, cu mine...)

you = pe tine

him/her/it = pe el/ea

us = pe noi

you = pe voi

them = pe ei/ele

Aceste forme sunt extrem de importante pentru c multe verbe des folosite, precum see, ask, hear, draw, i multe
altele, cer acuzativul. Nu spunem I see they, ci I see them (I-am vazut pe ei.); I heard her, nu I heard
she(Am auzit-o.), etc.

Exemple in Propozitii la Acuzativ:

You heard me. I said you should go. = M-ai auzit. Am spus c ar trebui s pleci.
She knows you from school. = Te cunoate de la coal.
I like him because he is smart. = mi place de el pentru c e detept.
I saw her the other day. = Am vzut-o zilele trecute.
Did you see my agenda? I can't find it. = Mi-ai vzut agenda? Nu o gsesc.
Our mom is proud of us for our school results. = Mama este mndr de noi pentru rezultatele de la coal.
He loves you two a lot. = V iubete mult pe voi doi.
I listened to them and I like very much their song. = I-am ascultat i mi place foarte mult cntecul lor.

La Dativ, avem aceleai forme ale pronumelui personal. n acest caz, pronumele rspund ntrebrii Cui? i
se traduc dup cum urmeaz:

me = mie

you = tie
 him/her/it = lui/ei

us = noua

you = voua
