СПРЯЖЕНИЕ ГЛАГОЛА TO BE(быть) в PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

Прежде всего мы рассмотрим спряжение глаголов to be и to have. В отличие от других глаголов глаголы “to be” и “to have” могут выступать не только как смысловые глаголы, имеющие значение «быть» (to be) и «иметь» (to have), но и как вспомогательные глаголы. Вспомогательные глаголы (в отличие от смысловых, полнозначных глаголов) лишены лексического значения. Они имеют только грамматическое значение и служат для построения сложных грамматических форм. Однако сначала мы рассмотрим эти глаголы как смысловые, полнозначные глаголы.
