n ntrebrile pentru subiect, verbul to do nu este folosit dac acestea nu conin o negaie.
Forma verbului de conjugat este, n aceste cazuri, identic celei din propoziia afirmativ, de

Ai nvat cteva reguli referitoare la verbul to have. Dup cum v amintii, to have este
auxiliarul pentru timpurile Present Perfect i Past Perfect, n timp ce to have to exprim
obligativitatea sau necesitatea, de exemplu:

I havent seen her. Nu am vzut-o.

She said he had already bought bread. A spus c el cumprase deja pine.
We have to be there at six. Trebuie s fim acolo la ora ase.

Verbul to have urmat de complement direct i de un verb la infinitiv fr to exprim un ordin,

o comand. n limba romn, o expresie care red aceast construcie este a pune (pe
cineva) s fac ceva; de exemplu:

I will have my son go to the market. l voi pune pe fiul meu s se duc la
pia.
They will have a mechanic repair the car. Ei vor pune un mecanic s repare maina.
He has had him pay for it. L-a pus s plteasc pentru asta.

Verbul to have se folosete, de asemenea, pentru situaiile n care comandm cuiva s

fac ceva, fr a meniona persoana respectiv. Verbul to have n acest caz este urmat de
complementul direct i participiul pasiv. n limba romn pentru situaii similare se folosete
expresia a pune (comanda) s se fac ceva, de exemplu:
V vei familiariza
Ill have my car repaired tomorrow. Voi pune s mi se repare maina mine.

Ive repaired my watch. Mi-am reparat ceasul (singur).

Ive had my watch repaired. Am pus s mi se repare ceasul.

(Mi-am dat ceasul la reparat.)

Traducei urmtoarele propoziii n limba englez:

Tocmai am chemat pe cineva

s-mi repare frigiderul. > Ive just had my fridge repaired.

SPACE

Man has always been interested in space and has always wanted to
find out whether there was life on other planets. The first artificial Earth
satellite was put into orbit in 1957. Four years later the first astronaut was
sent into space in a spacecraft. In 1969 the first astronauts landed on the
moon. In the early 1980s Americans built the first space shuttle. A space
shuttle is launched as a rocket and it re-enters the Earths atmosphere
and lands like an aeroplane.
