THEPASSIVEVOICE (СТРАДАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ЗАЛОГ)

В английском языке имеются два залога: действительный залог (The Active Voice) и страдательный залог (The Passive Voice).

Формы залога показывают, является ли подлежащее лицом / предметом, совершающим действие, или лицом / предметом, подвергающимся действию.

Когда подлежащее является лицом / предметом, совершающим действие, глагол употребляется в форме действительного залога:

They will sign the contract next week. Ониподпишут контракт на следующей неделе.

Когда подлежащее является лицом / предметом, подвергающимся действию со стороны другого лица / предмета, глагол употребляется в форме страдательного залога:

The contract will be signed next week. Контракт будет подписан на следующей неделе.

Времена страдательного залога образуются при помощи вспомогательного глаголаto be в соответствующем времени и формы причастия прошедшего времени (Past Participle) смыслового глагола. Таким образом, при спряжении глагола в страдательном залоге изменяется только глагол to be, а смысловой глагол имеет во всех временах одну и ту же форму - Past Participle.

Present Simple: The contract is signed. Контракт подписан.

Is the contract signed? – Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t.

The contract is not (isn’t)signed.

Past Simple: The contact was signed last week. Контракт подписали (был подписан) на прошлой неделе.

Was the contract signed last week? – Yes, it was. / No, it wasn’t.

The contract was not (wasn’t) signed last week.

Future Simple: The contract will be signed next week. Контракт подпишут (будет подписан)

на следующей неделе.

Will the contract be signed next week? – Yes it will. / No it won’t.

The contract will not (won’t)be signed next week.

В английском языке в страдательном залоге часто не указывается лицо (предмет), которое производит действие. При необходимости указания данного лица или предмета употребляется предлог by или with. Предлог by употребляется при обозначении действующих лиц, предлог with - для неодушевленных предметов.

This novel was written by my friend.

The contract was signed by Mr. Brown.

The picture was drawn with a piece of chalk.

The bread was cut with this knife.

Глаголы, которые употребляются с предлогами, в страдательном залоге эти предлоги сохраняют. Например:

The Active Voice The Passive Voice

They speak much about this film. This filmis much spoken about.

Об этом фильме много говорят.

They listened to her with great interest. She was listened to with great interest.

Ee слушали с большим интересом.

REPORTED (INDIRECT) SPEECH (КОСВЕННАЯРЕЧЬ)

Если сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в настоящем времени, то в придаточном дополнительном предложении сказуемое употребляется в требуемом по смыслу времени.

We know he lives in Paris.	Мы знаем, что он живет в Париже.
He says he is watching TV.	Он говорит, что смотрит телевизор
Kate says she sent the letter yesterday.	Катя говорит, что отправила письмо вчера.
Mr. Brown is sure they will sign the contract tomorrow.	Мистер Браун уверен, что они подпишут контракт завтра.

Если сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в прошедшем времени, то при переводе прямой речи в косвенную соблюдается правило согласования времен, т.е. сказуемое придаточного дополнительного предложения должно быть употреблено в одном из прошедших времен. При этом происходят следующие изменения:

Direct Speech (Прямая речь)	Reported Speech (Косвенная речь)
Present Simple → Past Simple
Present Continuous → Past Continuous
Past Simple → Past Perfect
Present Perfect → Past Perfect
Past Perfect → Past Perfect
Future Simple (Will) → Future in the Past (Would)

Для выражения действия, одновременного с действием главного предложения, в придаточном предложении употребляется Past Simple или PastContinuous:

I was sure that he was busy.	Я была уверена, что он занят.
He said he was watching TV.	Он сказал, что смотрит телевизор.

Для выражения действия, предшествующего действию главного предложения, в придаточном предложении употребляется Past Perfect:

We knew he had left for Madrid. Мы знали, что он уехал в Мадрид.

Для выражения последующего (будущего) действия, в придаточном предложении употребляется Future in the Past:

I didn’t doubt that my friends would meet me at the station.

Я не сомневался, что мои друзья встретят меня на станции.

Употребляемые в прямой речи личные и притяжательные местоимения в косвенной речи заменяются по смыслу (например, we → they , my book → his/her book и т.п.).

Следующим образом также заменяются указательные местоимения, обстоятельства места и времени:

Direct Speech (Прямая речь)	Reported Speech (Косвенная речь)
this → that these → those here → there now → then today → that day yesterday → the day before ago → before last (year) → the previous (year) in → later tomorrow → the next day/the following day the day after tomorrow → two days later next (year) → the following (year)

Повествовательные предложения при переводе из прямой речи в косвенную вводятся союзом that, который может опускаться:

I hoped (that) they would reduce the price.

Я надеялся, что они снизят цену.

При переводе вопросительных предложений в косвенную речь изменяется порядок слов в предложении – сказуемое ставится после подлежащего:

- Where does John work?	They asked me where John worked.
- Why are you late?	They wanted to know why I was late.
- How will you spend your week-end?	They wondered how I would spend my week-end.

Общие вопросы при переводе в косвенную речь вводятся с помощью союзов if или whether, соответствующих в русском языке частице ли:

- Have you finished your report?

Mr. Brown asked me if (whether) I had finished my report

Повелительное наклонение в косвенной речи передается инфинитивным оборотом. При передаче просьбы употребляется глагол to ask (просить), а для передачи приказания – to tell (сказать, велеть, приказать).

- Will you show your passport?	The clerk asked me to show my passport.
- Don’t close the window, please.	Jane asked me not to close the window.
- Don’t be late.	They told me not to belate.

Section A (Grammar reference)

GERUND (ГЕРУНДИЙ)

GERUND vs. INFINITIVE

Герундий – неличная форма глагола, которая сочетает в себе свойства существительного и глагола. Герундий образуется прибавлением окончания -ing к глаголу и выражает название действия.

В русском языке подобной формы нет. На русский язык герундий переводится инфинитивом, отглагольным существительным или придаточным предложением.

Запомните следующие глаголы и выражения, после которых употребляется герундий :

accuse smb of -

обвинять кого-либо (в чем-либо)

admit - apologise for - avoid - be good at - be interested in- can’t help - can’t stand - congratulate smb on- consider - deny - enjoy - feel like - give up - go on - go swimming, etc.- like love imagine - insist on - instead of - it’s worth - look forward to- mind - object to - postpone - put off - stop - suggest - thank smb. for -

признавать, допускать извиняться (за что-либо) избегать быть способным к интересоваться, быть заинтересованным быть не в состоянии удержаться от чего-либо (не могу не ….) не выдерживать, не выносить (терпеть не могу) поздравлять рассматривать отрицать, отказываться получать удовольствие, наслаждаться хотеть, испытывать желание бросить, отказаться продолжать заниматься плаванием, и т.п. любить любить представлять настаивать на вместо; вместо того, чтобы стоит с нетерпением ждать иметь что-либо против, возражать возражать откладывать откладывать прекращать, перестать предлагать благодарить кого-либо за что-либо

Например:

This book is worth reading.	Эту книгу стоит прочитать.
Do you mind my smoking here?	Вы не возражаете, если я здесь закурю?
Every time I see her I can’t help smiling.	Каждый раз, когда я ее вижу, не могу не улыбнуться.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Moscow.	C нетерпением ждем встречи с Вами в Москве.
I don’tfeel like going to the cinema today.	У меня нет желания идти в кино сегодня.

После следующих глаголов употребляется не герундий, а инфинитив:

agree	соглашаться
arrange decide expect fail forget hope manage need offer plan promise refuse seem want would like	договариваться, устроить решать ожидать не удаваться забывать надеяться справляться нуждаться предлагать планировать обещать отказывать казаться хотеть хотелось бы

Например:

They decided to take part in this project.	Они решили принять участие в этом проекте.
Mr. Smith will agreeto give us a discount if we increase our order.	Мистер Смит согласится дать нам скидку, если мы увеличим заказ.

Обратите внимание на различие в значениях действий, выраженных герундием и инфинитивом после глагола to stop.

Stop + Gerund выражает прекращение действия:

When he saw his parents he stopped smoking. Когда он увидел своих родителей, он перестал курить.

Stop + Infinitive выражает цель действия:

Before entering the building, he stopped to smoke. Прежде, чем войти в здание, он остановился покурить.

Dear Mr. Sandbach

Thank you for your letter of 12 June in which you stated that, following the visit of your chief buyer Mr. Lindfield, you are considering placing an order for our Sauvignon Blanc table wine.

We can arrange to supply you with an initial order of 1,000 cases, and I enclose our current trade price list, which I believe you will find very competitive. If you decide to go ahead with the order, we will agree to give you a 14% discount you mentioned and details are enclosed. Please note that we guarantee delivering firm orders within four weeks.

You mentioned that you wanted to market the wine under your own brand name, which will involve changing the labels. I would suggest getting the labels printed here because it is probably not worth having them printed in the UK and then sending them here. I have contacted our personal printer for a quotation and I hope to be able to send you a firm price.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

A. Velasquez

After his company had entered some European markets, Mr. Brown decided to go to Russia to study the possibility to supply his goods to Russian companies.

Mr. Brown believed that one of the best preparations for a trip was reading about the country to which he was going. He learnt a lot about Russian economy, the country’s trade, its main suppliers, etc.
