ГРАМАТИЧНИЙ ДОВІДНИК
ДІЄСЛОВО
THE VERB
Дієсловом називається частина мови, яка означає дію або стан. Дієслово має особові (Finiteforms) і неособові форми (Non-Finiteforms).
Особові– це форми, які виражають особу, число, час, стан, спосіб і виступають у реченні у функції присудка. Дієслова в англійській мові можуть мати активний чи пасивний стан, дійсний, умовний чи наказовий спосіб.
Дійсний спосібозначає реальну дію, яка відбувається, відбувалася чи відбуватиметься:
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.(EvanEsar)
Умовний спосібвиражає не реально виявлену дію, а лише бажану або можливу за певних умов:
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner. (Tallulah Bankhead)
Наказовий спосіб виражає наказ, спонукання, прохання, побажання і т. ін.:
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.(ElbertHubbard)Неособові форми не мають звичайних форм особи, числа, способу і не бувають у реченні присудком, хоча і можуть входити до його складу. До неособових форм належать інфінітив (theInfinitive), герундій (theGerund) і дієприкметник (theParticiple).
За значенням і функцією в реченні дієслова можуть бути смисловими, допоміжними і напівдоміжнимими.
До смислових дієслів належать дієслова, які мають самостійне значення і вживаються в реченні у функції простого присудка:
I know Kung Fu, Karate, and 47 other dangerous words. (Jo Ramos)
Допоміжні – це ті дієслова, які не мають самостійного значення і допомагають утворювати складні форми дієслова. До них належать: to be, to have, to do, shall, should, will, would.
The future will be better tomorrow. (Dan Quayle)
The cost of living is going up and the chance of living is going down. (Flip Wilson)
Напівдопоміжні – це дієслова, що не мають повністю самостійного значення і можуть бути присудком лише в поєднанні з іншими дієсловами. До них відносяться дієслова-зв’язки та модальні дієслова.
Дієслова-зв’язки допомагають утворювати складений іменний присудок. Основним дієсловом-зв’язкою є дієслово tobe. Проте ряд інших дієслів таких, як: tobecome, toget, togrow та деякі інші можуть виступати в ролі дієслова-зв’язки:
America is a mistake, a giant mistake. (Sigmund Freud)
До модальних дієслів належать can, may, must, ought, shall, should, will, need, dare, а також to be, to have у значенні зобов’язання.Модальні дієслова виражають можливість, необхідність, бажаність здійснення дії і в сполученні з інфінітивом утворюють складний модальний присудок:
You can lead a man up to the university, but you can't make him think.(Finley Peter Dunne)
Основними формами англійського дієслова є:
1) інфінитив (theInfinitive);
2) минулий простий(неозначений ) час (thePastSimple (Indefinite) Tense);
3) дієприкметник минулого часу (thePastParticiple);
4) дієприкметник теперішнього часу (the Present Participle).
За способом утворення простого минулого часу і дієприкметника минулого часу дієслова в англійській мові поділяються на правильні (RegularVerbs) та неправильні (IrregularVerbs).
В англійській мові, як і в українській є перехідні (Transitive Verbs) і неперехідні дієслова (Intransitive Verbs).
Перехідні дієслова означають дію, що переходить боспрямовананапредмет або особу, тобто вони можуть мати прамий додаток: to buy, to ask, to translateта ін.
Неперехідні дієслова означають дію, що прямо не переходить на предмет чи особу. Такі дієслова не можуть мати прямого додатка: togo, toliveта ін.
Деякі дієслова можуть бути як перехідними, так і неперехідними: tomove, tostopта ін.
Дієслова to be і to have.
Дієслово tobe в англійські мові може вживатися як самостійне, допоміжне, дієслово-зв’язка та модальне.
На відміну від інших англійських дієслів, дієслово tobe може відмінюватися за особами і в запитальній або заперечній формі не потребує допоміжного дієслова:
| Відмінювання дієслова to beв Present Indefinite | ||
| Стверджувальна форма | Питальна форма | Заперечна форма |
| I ama student. He (she, it) is a student. We are students. You are students. They are students. | Am I a student? Is he (she, it) a student? Are we students ? Are you students? Are they students? | I am nota student He (she, it) is not a student We are not students. You are not students. They are not students. |
В усному мовленні перевага надається скороченим формам: I’m, he’s, she’s, it’s, we’re, you’re, they’re, heisn’t, theyaren’t.
Дієслово tohave може вживатись як самостійне, допоміжне, модальне.
Дієслово tohave має особливу форму в PresentIndefinite третьої особи однини he/she/ithas.
ЧАСИ ДІЄСЛОВА
TENSES
В англійській мові існує чотири групи часових форм дієслова: Simple (Indefinite) Tenses(прості (неозначені) часи), ContinuousTenses (тривалі часи), PerfectTenses (доконані або перфектні часи)таPerfectContinuousTenses (доконано-тривалі часи). Кожна з цих груп має свій теперішній (Present), минулий(Past) та майбутній(Future) час. Існує також особлива форма відносного часу, яка виражає майбутню дію відносно минулого часу – Future-in-the-Past.
