CURS DE ENGLEZA IN 900 DE PASI

Daca doriti sa gasiti un anumit termen in cadrul acestui curs, scrieti-l mai jos si apasati
butonul "Trimite" alaturat, daca nu doriti, puteti lectura acest curs in forma sa integrala.
Deoarece in limba romana cuvintele au deseori anumite terminatii, programul e conceput
astfel ca sa prezinte toate cuvintele care contin cuvantul cautat, de exemplu adverb:
adverbul, adverbului, adverbe, adverbelor. Daca insa vreti un cuvant scurt e bine sa tastati
un spatiu inainte si dupa cuvant. Exemplu sun(soare) fara spatiu va gasi si cuvantul sunet
sau sunt.

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
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

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

Hamlet isi pune intrebarea celebra - Hamlet asks famous question

16. Articolul ca si in romaneste nu apare la inceputul explicatiilor din dictionare

Peru: tara din America de Sud - Peru: country in South America

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, doi baieti - one boy, two boys
Un fermier are o ferma - A farmer has a farm
Some farmers have a farm - Niste fermieri au o ferma.

18. In engleza, substantivul nu se acorda cu adjectivul

un baiat inalt - a tall boy
niste baieti inalti - some tall boys

o fata inalta - a tall girl

niste fete inalte - some tall girls

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

acorda nici dupa gen, nici dupa numar, nici dupa caz.

Exemplu: adjectivul friendly ramane neschimbat.

un chelner prietenos - a friendly waiter
o chelnerita prietenoasa - a friendly waitress
chelneri prietenosi - friendly waiters
chelnerite prietenoase - friendly waitresses
20. Pentru substantivele colective(politie, counsiliu etc) desi substantivul e la singular,
verbul se poate pune la plural:
consiliul nu ajunge la o intelegere - the council disagree (in loc de disagrees)

21. Ca si in limba romana exista substantive fara plural

etc

22. In cazul numelor de substante, substantivele nu au plural

foarfece - scissors, ochelari - eyeglasses (obiecte pereche)se folosesc cu verbul la plural:
These scissors are sharp (Aceasta foarfeca e ascutita).

25. Cand un obiect pereche e folosit cu "a pair of" verbul e la singular.
There is a pair of eyeglasses on the table - Este o pereche de ochelari pe masa.

26. Ca regula generala pluralul se formeaza adaugand un s.

A nu se confunda data cu data din calendar. Aceasta se numeste date.

Exemplu: What is the date? - In cat santem azi? (What day is today?)

40. Unele substantive au pluralul identic cu singularul, dar verbul se pune in functie de
numarul la care se refera contextul.
series - series
sheep - sheep (oaie - oi)
deer - deer (caprioara - caprioare)
There is a deer in the bush. - E o caprioara in tufis. There are deer in these forests - Sunt

anumite cuvinte. Nu adaugati daca nu stiti ca acel cuvant accepta aceasta:
waiter - chelner, waitress - chelnerita

46. Exceptie de la aceasta regula:

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

Men's cloting is changing - Imbracamintea barbatilor (pentru barbati) se schimba

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

apostrof si nu se citeste
My friends' cars are out there - Masinile prietenilor mei sunt acolo
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:

55. Anumite cladiri (house, shop, office etc)se omit dupa acest genitiv saxon
la casa unchiului meu:

57. Dativul in engleza poate sta si inainte si dupa complementul direct. Daca dativul vine
inainte de complementul direct nu se pune to altfel se pune.
Complementul direct raspunde la intrebarea: pe cine? sau ce?

tall woman - femeie inalta
happy girl - fata fericita

Do you have any money? - Ai vreun ban, cat de cat?

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.
I don't have any brothers - Nu am niciun frate
sau I don't have any brother - Nu am niciun frate

87. Any in propozitiile negative (nu interogative) cere ca verbul sa fie la negativ, in afara
de cazul cand verbul insusi presupune o negatie (exemplu: to refuse, to deny).
I don't have any coins. - Nu am nicio moneda

He refused to hear any explanations - A refuzat sa auda vreo explicatie.

No good deed goes unpunished - Nicio fapta buna nu scapa nepedepsita

simbolizeaza asa zisul om curat ca lacrima care nu poarta nicio vina.Cum zicem noi: N-
am vazut, n-am auzit.)

89. In propozitiile afirmative ANY are intelesul de ORICE

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.
Deasemeni orice compus de-al lui any se foloseste in propozitii interogative si negative
in locul compusului echivalent cu some

94. day - zi
someday - intr-o zi, intr-o buna zi

130. In romaneste spunem: Eu te vad pe tine.

Propozitia de mai sus in engleza ar fi: Eu vad pe tine adica I see you.
Tu vezi pe mine - You see me
tot asa
Eu le vreau pe celelalte se transforma in Eu vreau celelalte - I want the others

131. Bun - mai bun - cel mai bun

Reprezinta gradele de comparatie ale adjectivelor
- mai bun se numeste comparativ
- cel mai bun se numeste superlativ
Ca si in romana in engleza comparativul poate fi:
- de inferioritate
- de egalitate
- de superioritate
O pasare mai putin frumoasa ca papagalul este porumbelul.- inferioritate
O pasare la fel de frumoasa ca papagalul e porumbelul.- egalitate
0 pasare mai frumoasa ca papagalul e porumbelul.- superioritate

132. Vom studia intai comparatia de superioritate:

Cel mai raspandit caz e cel al comparatiei Saxone:
smart - smarter - the smartest
destept - mai destept - cel mai destept

133. Comparatia saxona se intalneste la adjectivele monosilabice

Exemple

red - redder - the reddest -> rosu - mai tall - inalt

rosu - cel mai rosu short - scund
big - bigger - the biggest -> inalt fat - gras
small - smaller - the smallest -> mic fast - rapid
thick - gros slow - incet
thin - subtire few - putini
old - batran hot - fierbinte
young - tanar cold - rece, frig

134. Daca ultima consoana e precedata de o vocala scurta ultima consoana se dubleaza.
Daca ultima consoana e precedata de doua vocale automat ultima vocala nu e scurta.
red - redder - the reddest
big - bigger - the biggest
dar
fair - fairer - the fairest
soon - sooner - the soonest

The biggest elephant in the world - Cel mai mare elefant din lume

135. Daca adj se termina in e, nu se pun doi e

cute - cuter - cutest -> scumpel
large - larger - the largest -> voluminos

136. Pentru adjectivele de doua silabe terminate in y, y se transforma in i

skinny - skinnier - the skinniest - slab
funny - funnier - the funniest - nostim
crafty - craftier - the craftiest - viclean

137. Pentru adjectivele lungi se foloseste comparatia franceza

interesting - more interesting - the most interesting
terrible - more terrible - the most terrible

My book is more interesting than Peter's

But the most interesting book is Tom's

138. Unele adjective au comparatie neregulata

good - bun few - putini many - multi
bad - rau much - mult far - departe
little - putin

139. good - better - the best -> bun - mai bun - cel mai bun
This is a good drawing - Aceasta e un desen bun
This drawing is better than that one - Acest desen e mai bun decat acela.

140. bad - worse - the worst -> rau - mai rau - cel mai rau

But he probably is not the worst teacher - Dar probabil ca nu e cel mai slab profesor

141. little - less - the least -> putin - mai putin - cel mai putin

I know, and two years ago we had the least rain in history - Stiu, si acum doi ani am avut
cea mai putina ploaie din istorie.

142. Desi a little si little, a few si few etc

Nu inseamna chiar acelasi lucru, gradele lor de comparatie sunt la fel
We had a little rain this year
Yes, last year we had less
inseamna
A plouat putin (adica un pic) anul asta
Da, anul trecut a fost mai putina (ploaie)
si
We had little rain this year
But, last year we had even less
inseamna
A plouat putin anul asta
Dar anul trecut am avut si mai putina (ploaie)

143. Pentru a sublinia ideea

la comparativ se zice
than the others - decat ceilalti
iar
la superlativ se zice
of all - dintre toti
This skirt is longer than the others - Aceasta fusta e mai lunga decat celelalte
sau
This skirt is longer than the other skirts - Aceasta fusta e mai lunga decat celalte fuste
iar
This is the longest skirt of all - Aceasta este cea mai lunga fusta
This is the longest of all skirts - Aceasta e cea mai lunga dintre toate fustele

sau
This skirt is longer than the other skirts - sau

144. few - fewer - fewest -> putini - mai putini - cei mai putini

Desi forma acestui adjectiv e regulata, il prezentam la un loc cu adjectivele neregulate

Kevin made the most mistakes of all. - Kevin a facut cele mai multe greseli dintre ei toti.

147. Foarte important! more si most au fiecare prin urmare doua intelesuri
more = mai inaintea unui adjectiv: more intelligent -> mai inteligent
more = mai mult inaintea unui substantiv: more water -> mai multa apa

most = cel mai inaintea unui adjectiv: the most intelligent -> cel mai inteligent
most = cel mai mult inaintea unui substantiv: the most water -> cea mai multa apa

Cei ce invata engleza, deseori zic grest mai mult, mai multa, mai multi, mai multe, cei mai
multi etc.

You are far from the truth - Esti departe de adevar
His answer is even farther from the truth - Raspunsul lui e si mai departe de adevar

narrow - narrower - the narrowest -> ingust - mai ingust - cel mai ingust

162. You - Tu, Voi

Si tu si voi in englezeste se zic la fel.
Cateodata se intelege din context daca e tu sau voi, cateodata nu.
De aceea se foloseste de multe ori
all of you - voi toti
sau
you both - voi amandoi
you two - voi doi
you...together - voi...impreuna
You are farmers - Voi sunteti fermieri, nu poate un singur om sa fie mai multi fermieri

163. He - El
He is my brother - El e fratele meu

164. She - Ea

165. It
It se foloseste pentru obiecte, deoarece engleza nu are gen. In plus toate obiectele sau
chiar fiintele care nu conteaza ca gen sunt numite it.
Deasemeni propozitiile care in romaneste nu au subiect prin natura lor, in englezeste
folosesc it (vezi ultimele doua exemple).
I see a fly. It is on the window. - Vad o musca. E pe geam.

The red color is ? (nu exista pronume posesiv dar folosim genitivul lui table:

Culoarea rosie e a mesei - The red color is the table 's

sau
Its color is red - Culoarea ei e rosie

170. ma spal e verb reflexiv

Eu ma spal pe mine.
Ma si pe mine sunt pronume reflexive.
Nu orice verb reflexiv in romaneste e reflexiv si in engleza.
In engleza sunt mai putine verbe reflexive ca in romaneste. De aceea in loc de pronume
reflexiv uneori se foloseste adjectivul posesiv:
Ma pieptan - I comb my hair (Pieptan parul meu.)
Ma spal pe dinti - I brush my teeth. (Spal dintii mei)

De multe ori un verb poate fi reflexiv intr-un context si nereflexiv in altul.

Eu spal o cana - nu e reflexiv
Eu ma spal pe mine - reflexiv

171. to wash oneself - a se spala pe sine

In engleza insa pronumele reflexiv nu se foloseste cand se subintelege ca actiunea are
caracter reflexiv
Iata o lista de verbe care pot fi reflexive in engleza.

de companie)
to convince oneself - a se autoconvinge

to encourage oneself - a se autoincuraja
to enjoy oneself - a se distra
to hurt oneself - a-si face rau singur
to kill oneself - a se sinucide
to market oneself - a-si face reclama

172. Reflexivul in engleza se formeaza din adjectivul posesiv la care se adauga

terminatia
self - la sngular
selves - la plural
I enjoyed myself at the party - M-am simtit bine la petrecere.
You blame yourself too much - Te invinovatesti prea mult.

173. Pronumele reflexive au si intelesul de singur sau sunt folosite si ca intarire.

by myself - singur, singura.

I like to live by myself - Imi place sa locuiesc singur
I wrote the paper by myself - Am scris lucrarea singur.
I wrote this paper myself - Chiar eu am scris lucrarea asta.

174. Pronumele reflexive se pot traduce si cu insumi, insuti, etc.

I went there myself - Eu insuni m-am dus acolo

175. with me -> cu mine In romaneste atunci cand nu pronumele personal face actiunea
(adica nu e subiect)se zice de exemplu:

M-am dus cu tine.

Prepozitiile cu de mai jos au numai rol de exemplificare:

(with) me - (cu) mine (with) him - (cu) el
(with) you - (cu) tine (with) her - (cu) ea
(with) us - (cu) noi (with) them - (cu) ei, ele
(with) you - (cu) voi

176. Dupa prepozitii daca urmeaza un pronume automat acesta e un pronume la cazul
obiectiv.
Emily went with me - Emily s-a dus cu mine
Emily talked about you - Emily a vorbit despre tine
Emily worked without him - Emily a lucrat fara el
Emily took it from her - Emily l-a luat de la ea
Emily lives above us - Emily locuieste deasupra noastra
Emily wrote a poem for you - Emily a scris o poezie pentru voi
Emily thought about them - Emily s-a gandit la ei

177. Pe mine, pe tine se traduc me, you fara prepozitie

L-am vazut pe el.- I saw him
L-am intrebat pe el. - I asked him

In romaneste se adauga inca un pronume, acest l-, care in engleza nu exista.

In englezeste spunem Am vazut pe el. (fara L-).Am vazut pe tine (fara Te-). etc

I love you! - Te iubesc!

Subiectul I e obligatoriu, pe nu se traduce te cade si se traduce Eu iubesc pe tine.

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 216. To have - a avea 217. To do - a face

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
I have - Eu am I do - Eu fac
You have - Tu ai You do - Tu faci
He has - El are He does - El face
She has - Ea are She does - Ea face
We have - Noi avem We do - Noi facem
You have - Voi aveti You do - Voi faceti
They have - Ei au 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:
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

225. Modul de formare al lui Present Continuous

pentru toate verbele care primesc acest timp.

a verbului de conjugat la care se adauga terminatia ing.

dar si
I'm playing the piano - Cant la pian

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

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

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)

284. Exista un numar de verbe care nu exprima o actiune. Aceste verbe sa numesc
Linking Verbs (verbe de legatura). Ele trebuie stiute pentru ca sunt insotite totdeauna de
un substantiv sau adjectiv. Ele formeaza predicatul nominal. Substantivul sau adjectivul
care insoteste verbul se numeste nume predicativ.
I am an actress - Eu sunt actrita. (sunt actrita e predicat nominal)
sunt - verb
actrita - substantiv (nume predicativ)
My neighbor seems happy - Vecinul meu pare fericit (pare fericit e predicat nominal)
pare - verb
fericit - adjectiv (nume predicativ)
285. In engleza urmatoarele verbe sunt totdeauna verbe de legatura si trebuie urmate de
un nume predicativ:
to be - a fi
to become - a deveni
to seem - a parea
She is funny - Ea este nostima
Budgies become frightened easily - Papagalii perus devin usor speriati
It seemed like a good idea - Parea o idee buna

286. In engleza urmatoarele verbe NU sunt totdeauna verbe de legatura functia lor in
propozitie depinde de context:
to appear - a aparea, a parea
to feel - a simti
to grow - a creste
to look - a privi, a cauta, a parea
to prove - a dovedi
to remain - a ramane
to smell - a mirosi
to sound - a suna
to taste - a gusta
to turn - a (se) intoarce, a deveni

287. To appear, to look si to turn au valoare de predicat nominal atunci cand au intelesul
unuia din verbele care am vazut ca sunt totdeauna predicate nominale: to be, to become,
to seem
Predicate nominale:
He appears tired He seems tired Pare obosit
He looks familiar He seems familiar Pare cunoscut
He turned 16. - He became 16 (nu se zice) - A implinit, (a devenit de)16 ani.

NU sunt predicate nominale

He appeared on TV - A aparut la televizor
He is looking for his watch - Isi cauta ceasul
He turned the car to face the gate - A intors masina ca sa fie cu fata spre poarta

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
He will grow tall - El va creste inalt - El va fi inalt: verb de legatura (predicat nominal)

289. Exista cateva adjective in engleza Ele nu pot fi folosite pe langa

care nu pot sta decat pe langa un verb de substantive.
legatura. He is ill. - E bolnav.

290. Toate timpurile invatate se refera la Diateza Activa, subiectul propozitiei efectueaza
actiunea.

302. Modul conditional exista si in engleza si in romana:

I would fly if I had wings. - As zbura daca as avea aripi.
As zbura (I would fly) e conditionalul prezent
As fi zburat - I would have flown e conditionalul trecut

303. Conditionalul Prezent ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele:

I would fly - Eu as zbura
You would fly - Tu ai zbura
He would fly - El ar zbura
She would fly - Ea ar zbura
We would fly - Noi am zbura
You would fly - Voi ati zbura
They would fly - Ei, Ele ar zbura

304. I shall do this are la conditional echivalentul I should do this

iar
I will do this are la conditional echivalentul I would do this

would si should nu inseamna acelasi lucru:

shall implica o promisiune - I should inseamna ar trebui
I would inseamna as vrea
Tom: I shall win the race! - Voi castiga cursa!
Bill: You should!- Ar trebui (ar fi cazul)

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, she etc)
I would be asked by my teacher - As fi intrebat de profesoara.

306. Conditionalul prezent continuu

I, you...would be flying.
They are flying a kite - Ei inalta un zmeu prezent continuu.
They would be flying a kite if there was wind - Ei ar inalta un zmeu daca ar fi vant
conditionalul la prezent continuu.

307. Conditionalul prezent continuu inlocuieste conditionalul prezent in aceleasi cazuri

in care prezentul continuu inlocuieste prezentul.
If he were here, he would be answering your questions, as we speak - Daca ar fi aici, v-ar
raspunde la 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

309. Conditionalul Prezent Continuu nu are forma pasiva.

310. Conditionalul Trecut e de forma:

I would have asked - Eu as fi intrebat
sau
I should have asked - Ar fi trebuit sa intreb

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
They 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)
I would have been asked by my teacher - As fi fost intrebat de profesoara mea.

313. Conditionalul trecut continuu

I, you...would have been flying.
They were flying a kite - Ei inaltau un zmeu - trecut continuu.
They would have been flying a kite if there had been wind - Ei ar fi inaltat un zmeu daca
ar fi avut vant - conditionalul la trecut continuu.

care trecutul continuu inlocuieste trecutul.
He would have been doing jail time if the law hadn't changed - Ar fi facut puscarie daca
nu s-ar fi schimbat legea.

315. Conditionalul trecut continuu ramane neschimbat la toate persoanele

I would have been flying
You would have been flying
He would have been flying
She would have been flying
We would have been flying
You would have been flying
They would have been flying

316. Conditionalul Trecut Continuu nu are forma pasiva.

317. Propozitiile care contin conditionale contin deasemeni de multe ori prin natura lor
conjunctia daca (if).
Aceste propozitii au forma:
Daca A atunci B - If A then B
Daca A, B - If A, B
B daca A - B if A.
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

319. If Clauses - Regula nr2

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<br?< p="">If I were happy I would clap my
hands - Daca as fi fericit as bate din palme

</br?<>

321. If Clauses - Regula nr3

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
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).
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)

They consider him to be the future king - Il considera pe el (sa fie) viitorul rege

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
That farmer is said to have many acres of land - Fermierul acela se zice ca are multi acri
de pamant

planuri de viitor
The dog appeared to bark on command - Cainele parea sa latre la porunca

344. Nominativul cu infinitivul se poate folosi pentru verbul to be urmat de sure, certain
sau likely
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

348. Folosirea terminatiei ING pentru formarea verbelor

I like painting - Imi place sa pictez
I imagine him studying all day - Mi-l imaginez invatand toata ziua
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)

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
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 can't help, can't resist, can't stand,
it's no use, there is no point/ sense in, it is 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

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).
Participiul prezent e breaking.(vezi forma cu ING)

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
pe cand
melting ice - gheata care se topeste (participiul prezent)

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.

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 cea 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
Do cu acest inteles nu se foloseste cu verbe modale
Please e mult mai mult folosit decat Do pentru a ne exprima politicos.
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: Have a good time! - Distractie placuta!

Take the first turn right. - Ia-o pe prima Have fun! - Distractie placuta
la dreapta. Sleep well! - Dormi bine (Somn usor)
Hurry up!- Grabeste-te! Brace yourself - Imbarbateaza-te!
Watch out! - Pazea! Get a grip - Aduna-te!
Watch it! - Vezi cum vorbesti! Hang in there! - Rezista!

We are not - Nu suntem We were not - Nu eram
You are not - Nu sunteti You were not - Nu erati

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. Negativul unui verb care e la un timp 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

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

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 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.
devin
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.
Astfel persoana a treia a verbului pierde litera s si la orice persoana verbul ramane la
infinitiv.

405. Propozitii interogative fara inversare

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

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 ca o persoana

negatii.
2. Daca propozitia de baza e negativa - disjunctia se formeaza prin adaugarea unei
afirmatii.

Pasul B.

Disjunctia e o intrebare
1.Pentru verbe modale, se foloseste verbul modal respectiv.
2.Pentru verbul to be - se foloseste verbul to be (cu inversarea tipica intrebarilor)
3.Pentru orice alt verb se foloseste particula necesara timpului respectiv (do, does, will,
has etc) dar verbul din propozitie se omite

8.ADVERBUL
683. Adverbul este partea de vorbire care arata o caracteristica a unei actiuni, a unei
stari sau a unei calitati
El determina verbe, adjective sau alte adverbe.
Un adverb trebuie sa raspunda la una din intrebarile : Cum? Cand? Unde?
Ma duc degraba la gara. Cum ma duc? Degraba este adverb pe langa verbul a se duce.
684. Adverbele care determina un adjectiv, stau totdeauna in fata adjectivului
Astfel de adverbe sunt very - foarte, quite - destul de, absolutely - foarte etc
Very poate sa fie si adjectiv cu intelesul de chiar
This is the very example I need - Acesta este chiar exemplul de care am nevoie.
A very big dog - Un caine foarte mare
A very rainy day - O zi foarte ploioasa

This is a very tall man - Acesta e un barbat foarte inalt

This man is quite tall - Acest barbat e destul de inalt

He's absolutely delighted - El e cu desavarsire incantat.

quite de multe ori e folosit ca eufemism pentru very.

A doua propozitie putand insemna si ca barbatul respectiv e foarte inalt.

685. Adverbele englezesti se grupeaza in adverbe de mod, de loc, de timp de frecventa si

de scop.
Adverbele cateodata pot fi puse in multe locuri in propozitie, cateodata nu.
Ele au trei locuri in propozitie unde e posibil sa-si aiba locul.
- pozitia initiala (inaintea subiectului)
- pozitia de mijloc (intre subiect si verb sau imediat inainte de verbul to be daca e cazul)
- pozitia finala(la sfarsitul propozitiei)

686. Adverbe de mod

slowly - incet
carefully - atent
awfully - teribil
A citit incet scrisoarea
Toate urmatoarele formulari sunt corecte

Slowly, he read the letter

He slowly read the letter
He read the letter slowly

A deschis cu grija plicul

Toate urmatoarele formulari sunt corecte

Carefully, he opened the envelope

He carefully opened the envelope
He opened the envelope carefully

El este teribil de trist - He is awfully sad

687. Adverbe de loc

here - aici
there - acolo
behind - in spate
above - deasupra
In general aceste adverbe se pun la sfarsit, mai rar se pun si inaintea subiectului.
We met him here. - L-am intalnit aici
We stayed there. - Am stat acolo

In aceste doua cazuri, adverbele nu pot fi asezate in alta parte in propozitie.

688. Adverbe de timp

now - acum
then - atunci
yesterday - ieri
In general aceste adverbe se pun la sfarsit, mai rar se pun si inaintea subiectului.
Now listen to a story - Acum asculta o poveste
Listen to the story now - Asculta povestea acum.

He went fishing yesterday - S-a dus la pescuit ieri

Yesterday he went fishing - Ieri s-a dus la pescuit.
Constructia romaneasca - S-a dus ieri la pescuit - NU se poate respecta
deci
He went yesterday fishing e GRESIT.
Aceasta propozitie da impresia ca yesterday e un adjectiv adica exista un mod de a
pescui numit yesterday.

689. Adverbe de frecventa

always - totdeauna
already - deja
never - niciodata
seldom - rareori
usually - deobicei

Daca verbul este to be si nu este un timp compus, adverbele de frecventa deobicei se pun
dupa be.
La timpurile compuse ele se intercaleaza.
La verbele celelalte (exceptand modalele) aceste adverbe se pune inaintea verbului.
In cazul modalelor ca si in cazul verbului to be adverbul de frecventa se pune dupa verb.
I am usually on time - Deobicei ajung la timp.
I have never seen this movie - Nu am vazut niciodata acest film.
I often dream of him - De multe ori il visez.

690.
In propozitii afirmative locul adverbelor de frecventa depinde de verb
in cazul verbului a fi = to be, locul adverbelor de frecventa e dupa verb:
I am usually late - De obicei intarzii
That actor was always funny Acel actor era totdeauna nostim
in cazul celorlalte verbe (exceptand modalele) locul adverbelor de frecventa e in fata
verbului:
She always sings well. - Ea totdeauna canta bine.
They sometimes find beautiful seashells - Ei cateodata gasesc scoici frumoase
In cazul verbelor modale (ex: can, may must etc) adverbele de frecventa se pun dupa
verb:
I can sometimes draw well - Cateodata desenez bine.
He must always come to the meeting - El trebuie totdeauna sa vina la sedinta.
In cazul timpurilor compuse, adverbele de frecventa se aseaza intre auxiliar si verb:
I will always remember them - Totdeauna imi voi aminti de ei.
Observatie: In general nu se foloseste prezentul continuu cu adeverbul de frecventa

691. Unele adverbe de frecventa pot avea si alte locuri in propozitie

Se pot pune inaintea subiectului.
occasionally - din cand in cand
frequently - mereu
usually - deobicei
sometimes - cateodata
Se pot pune si la sfarsit.
occasionally - din cand in cand
rarely - rareori
often - ades

I sometimes need a vacation
Sometimes I need a vacation

Deobicei, alerg repede

Usually I run fast

692.

I can't always help you. - Nu pot sa te ajut totdeauna.
I must never leave the door unlocked - Nu trebuie niciodata sa las usa neincuiata
I am not always happy - Nu sunt totdeauna fericit.

693. Spre deosebire de limba romana in limba engleza nu se fac doua negatii in
propozitie.
Niciodata nu a cantat tradus se spune Niciodata a cantat: He never sang.
De aceea adverbele never - niciodata, seldom - rareori, rarely - rareori nu se folosesc in
propozitii negative (propozitii cu not).
He never went to school - Niciodata nu a mers la scoala
He seldom eats alone - Rareori mananca singur
I rarely see him - Il vad rareori.

694.

Can you always tell who is singing? - Totdeauna iti dai seama cine canta?
Haven't you ever been wrong?- Nu te-ai inselat niciodata?

11.ORDINEA CUVINTELOR
780. Complimentul determina predicatul. El este de urmatoarele tipuri.
Compliment direct
Eu joc sah.
Raspunde la intrebarea ce?
Ce joc? Sah.
Sah este compliment direct
Complimentul indirect
Eu joc sah cu bunica.
Raspunde la una din intrebarile: (cui?, pe ce?, cu cine?, cu ce?, despre cine? despre ce?
etc)
Cu cine joc? Cu bunica.
Bunica este compliment indirect.

Raspunde la intrebarea Unde?
Unde joc? In fata blocului.
Compliment de timp

Raspunde la intrebarea Cand?
Cand joc? Zilnic.

781. Subiectul vine in fata predicatului iar complementul direct si complementul

indirect vin dupa predicat.
I am reading – Eu citesc
I am reading a book – Eu citesc o carte.
Aceasta ordine se pastreaza si in cadrul propozitiilor din fraza.
The people who are my neighbors are reading a story book. - Oamenii care sunt vecinii
mei citesc o carte.

782. Daca exista si un complement indirect acesta vine dupa complimentul direct daca
se foloseste prepozitia to.
Daca NU se foloseste TO complementul indirect vine INAINTEA complimentul direct
The people who are my neighbors are reading a story book (complement direct) to the
little girl (complement indirect)- Oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc o poveste fetitei.
sau
The people who are my neighbors are reading the little girl (complement indirect) a
storybook(complement direct) - Oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc fetitei o poveste.

783. Daca nu exista compliment direct (a storybook) este obligatoriu sa se puna TO cand
complimentul indirect raspunde la intrebarea cui?
The people who are my neighbors are reading to the little girl - Oamenii care sunt vecinii
mei citesc fetitei.
Iata un exemplu care nu cere to (nu raspunde la intrebarea cui?)
The people who are my neighbors are reading a storybook with the little girl - Oamenii
care sunt vecinii mei citesc cu fetita.

784. Adverbele de timp cu caracter precis (yesterday ieri, today - azi, tomorrow - maine,
last year - anul trecut, last month - luna trecuta, next year - anul viitor etc) se pun la
inceputul frazei
Orice altfel de compliment vine dupa complimentul direct daca acesta exista.
Daca nu exista vine direct dupa predicat.
Yesterday, the people who are my neighbors were reading a storybook to the little girl. -
Ieri, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citeau o poveste fetitei.
Sometimes the people who are my neighbors read a storybook with the little girl.-
Cateodata, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc o poveste cu fetita.br> Sometimes the
people who are my neighbors read a storybook out loud to the little girl in the evening -
Cateodata, oamenii care sunt vecinii mei citesc cu voce tare o poveste fetitei seara.

785. Alte reguli: adjectivele se pun inaintea substantivelor, iar adverbele de frecventa se
intercaleaza la verbe
Last month, the people who are my neighbors would often read a beautiful storybook to
the little girl in the park in the evening. - Luna trecuta oamenii care sunt vecinii mei
deseori citeau cu voce tare o frumoasa poveste fetitei seara, in park.

786. Never si hardly au urmatoarea regula de inversare a subiectului cu predicatul.

Se zice:
I have never heard such beautiful stories sau
Never have I heard such beautiful stories.
- Niciodata nu am mai auzit povesti atat de frumoase
I could hardly believe my ears
sau
Hardly could I believe my ears.
- Abia-mi puteam auzi urechilor.

787. Inversiunea in cazul lui if

Cand se face o inversiune if cade.
If I had known the truth
sau
Had I known the truth.

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 passport. - 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

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 that 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

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
857.
In engleza americana present perfect este mult mai putin folosit si este inlocuit de past
tense.
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

859. Formele verbului to get

in engleza britanica
to get - got - got

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

860. Datele se scriu altfel in engleza britanica fata de engleza americana.

23 august 1944
In engleza britanica
the 23rd of August 1944

In engleza americana
august 23rd, 1944
august 23, 1944

861. Substantivele colective

Un substantiv care exprima un grup: armata, comitet, stol etc
In engleza britanica un substantiv colectiv e la singular (verbul se pune la singular) daca
in cadrul propozitiei intelesul e de bloc care actioneaza ca unul si la plural in sens
contrar
A committee was appointed - A fost numit un comitet
The committee were unable to agree - Comitetul nu s-a (s-au in engleza) putut pune de
acord

In engleza americana totdeauna aceste substantive sunt la singular

The committee was unable to agree

862. Auxiliarul shall e putin folosit in engleza americana.

Iar shan't (forma negativa) nu e folosit deloc in engleza americana.

863. In engleza americana dupa verbe ca to go - a merge, to come - a veni si to help - a

ajuta se foloseste mult urmatoarea constructie:
I want to go eat - Vreau sa merg sa mananc
I wish to help build the house - Vreau sa ajut sa se construiasca casa
Can you come see a movie? - Poti sa vii sa vezi un film?
in loc de
I want to go to eat
I wish to help to build the house
Can you come to see a movie?

Engleza britanica in schimb zice:

I want to go and eat
I wish to help and build the house
Can you come and see a movie?

864. Engleza americana are tendinta (cateodata) de a taia sufixele adjectivelor formate
cu ing, din participiu (cu ed) sau genitivul saxon('s). Prezentam mai jos forma
americana, forma englezeasca si traducerea pentru cateva exemple.
jump rope - skipping rope - coarda (de sarit)
racecar - racing car - masina de curse
dial tone - dialing tone - ton (de telefonat)
mash potatoes - mashed potatoes
