Probably, each of us remembers how the chalk board stood at the lesson of the beautiful and mighty Russian language and for some unknown reason he painted over the word to the arc, then a tick, then the square. The whole entertaining process was pathetic called the word on Morphem, namely: the prefix, root, suffix and, of course, the end. On the last, but only in English, we will talk today and talk. There Might Be Something You don "T Know!

If we speak a purely language of grammar, then under the concept of "ending" ( ending.) or fashionable word "flexy" ( inflexion.) From the Latin "To Bend" - to bind, implies a variable part that is responsible for the process of forming various variations of the same word to the main form of which special elements are added. Through these manipulations, grammatical values \u200b\u200bare expressed, that is, a special role that the Speech unit performs in the proposal. To the endings in the grammar of the English language include: a drawing case (" s.); plural (- s. / -es); Present 3 person + units (- s); past time (- d.), (-eD) or (- t.) and the end (- ing.). Well, now in order.

Flexion "S" in English

Possessive ( possessive Case) We use when we need to say that something belongs to someone. This very case is formed by adding a special sign to the end of the word " " »Apostrophe and ending" - s." Below are some examples for clarity.

Ending -S / -ES / -ies in English

First, simple present, everyone known as Present Simple. It is used when we are talking about some facts or ordinary actions.
We form currently using the basic form of the infinitive (without part of TO). Golden rule: third party in the singular ( he. / she. / iT.) just requires the ending - s. / -es / -iES.. For example:

Every Morning Kelly Eat s. A Sandwich With Blueberry Jam and Peanut Butter and Drink s. A Mug of Coffee for Breakfast.
Every morning Kelly, breakfast eats a sandwich with a blueberry jam and peanut butter and drinks coffee mug.

Secondly, when it is necessary to use a noun in a plural ( plural Nouns.), according to the rule of the multiple number to the form of a noun in units, depending on which the letter is at the end, the end is added - s. / -es / -iES.. For example:

Pumpkin, Don "T Forget to Buy 10 DONUT s., 5 Orange s. and 3 banana. s., Please.
Tick, do not forget, please buy 10 donuts, 5 oranges and 3 banana.
VERB / \u200b\u200bNOUN + SVERB / \u200b\u200bNOUN + ESVERB / \u200b\u200bNOUN + IES
vOWEL + Y / OTHER CASES -CH / -SH / -S / -SS
-X / -Z / -O
cONSONANT + Y.
to Slay - He / She / It Slays
A Gun - Guns
to Fuss - He / She / IT Fusses
A Coach - Coaches
to Ply - He / She / It Plies
a wheelry - WHERRIES

Ending -ed / -ied / -d / -t in English

First, the end - eD inherent right English verb (REGULAR VERBS) that are used in Past Simple.. As you know, a simple past time is used to establish a fact or description of a number of actions that directly walked each other in the past. Education formula: verb (without to.): bombinate (buzz) +. eD = bombinated. (buzzed). Example in context:

James Got in the Old Clunker, started. The ENGINE AND DROVE OFF.
James sat down in his ruins, started the engine and tried from the spot.
Verb + ED.Verb + Ied.Verb + D.Verb + T.
consonant. cONSONANT + Y. vowel irregular Forms.
to yell - Yelled
To Belong - Belonged
to Vary - Varied
To Cry - Cried
to whine - whined
To Bake - Baked
to Send - Sent
To Feel - Felt

Secondly, - eD meets and communion of past time ( participle II.). Communion - Golden middle, where signs of verb, adjective and adverb, which answers the question " what (c) done?», « what?" For example:

THE QUOTE, PRESENT eD In The Article, Caught My Attention.
Quote presented in the article attracted my attention.

THE QUOTE " what? " or " what made?» — present. The action is already completed - it has already been used in the article. The communion determines the subject in the proposal, complementing it with new facts and signs.

Ending -ing in english

First, the ingue end is used when building long English times Continuous. = Progressive. For example:

Currently, My Bearded Mate Is Play ing. PS4.
At the moment, my bearded buddy plays PS4.

Here Present Continuous: auxiliary verb bunch to be in the right form + infinitives of the semantic verb without to.but with the end - ing.. However, to times that emphasize the action or state in the process relates Perfect Continuous. = Perfect Progressive.. For example:

A Bearded Mate Of Mine Has Been. Play. ing. PS4 for Six Hours Already.
My bearded buddy plays PS4 for 6 hours.

Present Perfect Continuous: Auxiliary Verb to Have in the desired form + been + infinitives of semantic verb (without to.), but with the end - ing..

Secondly, - ing. meets and at the communion of the present time ( participle I.), which responds to a number of the following questions: " what?», « what making?», « what making? ". Example:

THAT WOMAN, CHILL ing. ON THE SOFA, IS MY FUTURE WIFEY.
That woman resting on the sofa, my future wife.

We observe that the communion is formed by joining the end - ing. to the main verb form And brings new features that are characteristic of the subject.

Participle I.
Verb Base +. -ing
FINAGLE + -ING \u003d FINAGL ing.

Participle II.
Verb Base +. -ed
FINAGLE + -ED \u003d FINAGL eD

Thirdly, this flexion is also used with Gerundia ( gerund.), a special form of verb, which behaves in a sentence as subject (subject to), an object (failed) or predicate (definition / circumstance). The gerundium to some extent resembles exactly the exclusive noun, for this reason the Russian can be translated as an infinitive, an apparent offer or a noun. Several viewers for illustration:

My Buddy's Favourite Occupation IS Hang ing. Out with Friends.
Favorite occupation of my friend - Parties with friends.
WELL, TO BE HONEST, I'M Not Engossed in Pastel Draw ing..
Well, to be honest, I do not enjoy painting pastels.

Types of English-speaking endings

Today we have gathered together the most common endings that are used everywhere in English. We hope that from now on you will have a full-fledged picture about what the ending, what it can be when it is and where it needs to be used. If the endings turned out to be not enough, then catch the English suffixes for dessert. Yummy!

English is a storehouse of exceptions, special occasions and sustainable structures. People, just begin to study his study, of course, scare out peculiar rules, and even more so exclusion of them, but these difficulties arise only at first. With the development of English grammar, the studies of the simplicity and logicality of this foreign language comes to studying. And what was complicated at first glance, with the second becomes immediately understandable and obvious. I will be convinced of this in practice, disassembled today: the end of S in the verbs in English, as well as the use of the endings from nouns and adjectives.

Russian speech refers to synthetic languages, that is, to compile the right context, we tend the words, add consoles and suffixes to them, and also change any members of the sentence to them. English, on the contrary, is a characteristic representative of a group of analytical languages. In his system, the main emphasis is placed on a strictly fixed procedure for members of the sentence, and the addition expression is carried out with the help of official and auxiliary words. Simply put, in such a speech, the relationship between words is transmitted not to the end of these words, but their place in the proposal and the neighborhood with pretexts.

  • Beautiful cat but Sits at the door -A.beautifulcat. iS.sitting.aT.theirdoor (word order - subject).
  • I see a beautiful cat w.I.seea.beautifulcat. (The order of words is an addition).
  • I go to a beautiful cat e. . – I.go.to. a.beautifulcat. (Preposition of the direction + addition).

As can be seen from examples, the British are perfectly bypassed without the word decline system. But the grammatical category of expirations in their language still exists, and there are many three representatives in themselves. What do they look and what a destination bear, we learn in the following sections.

Ending S verbs in English

The most common case of consumption of an additional letter at the end of words is the formulation of the verb in 3 face the only number of a certain time. Him includes pronoun he, she, it (it, it, it) and nouns that can be replaced by these pronouns. Recall that IT denotes only inanimate items to which animals can also relate to English (if they are not pets).

Simple describes regular, ordinary, familiar actions, so it can often be found in the speech of the British. Accordingly, the incorrect formulation of the faithful in the third face is a very rough mistake, which will cut the hearing to a foreign interlocutor. In order not to blush for your English, you need to remember a simple rule.

Consider the use of the specified law in practice.

  • She.watch. es many.TV-showseveryday - She is watching a lot of television shows every day.
  • IT Sound. s. Very Strange is Sounds highly Strange.
  • He Eats Chip. s. and Drink. s. Lemonade - ON. eating crisps and drink lemonade.

For a third party, the verb ending is also preserved in a negative and questioning form, undergoing a small change in - ES, and adding not to the main one, but to auxiliary verb. At the same time, the main thing is faced in the form of a simple infinitive.

  • Do. esJessica Write Letter to Him? - SHE DO. esn't Write Letter to Him.
  • Jessica writes him a letter? - She does not write a letter to him.
  • Do. es A KOALA BECOME A BIG AND STRONG ANIMAL? - IT DO. esn't Become A Big and Strong Animal.
  • Koala becomes big and strong animals? - It does not become a big and strong animal.
  • Do. es Your Father Work As A Lawyer? - He do esn't Work As A Lawyer.
  • Does your father work a lawyer? - He does not work by a lawyer.

The end of S verbs present Simple in English has its own eating and pronunciation nuances that will help us disassemble the table given below.

Category Rule Example
Spelling The verbs ending on the letters O, X or the lettering -CH, SH, SS, ZZ, TCH, require the ending in the form - ES. Father Wash es (Wash) HIS CAR ONCE A WEEK - Father Moose His Machine time in week.
Baked, which end on -y have two writing options. If in the word in front of -y there is a vowel letter, then no changes occur, sim simply adds to the ending. In the verbs with the consonant preceding y, there is a transformation Y → I, and then adding -es. Jackplay. s. (PL aY. ) basketball.very.well - Jack plays basketball very well.

The Rule Appl. iES. (App. lY. ) to Verbs and Nouns - Rule applies to verbs and nouns.

Pronunciation The end S is read as [s] ( russian S.) In cases when it is preceded by a deaf consonant sound.

works, Sleeps, Calls, Stops and T..P.

My Little Son Always Sleep s. With toys.

My little son always sleeps with toys

The end S is read as [z] ( russian Z.) If the pronounced vowel or ring consonant in front of him.

openS, Reads, Plays, Sings and T..P.

She Play. s. Tennis TWICE A WEEK.

She plays tennis twice a week.

End ES pronounced (from).

Available ES should not be confused, with a simply adding S to the verb with non-pronounced E.

He usually Watch es (from) Horror Movies.

He usually looks horror movies.

She Like s. (c) to dance.

She likes to dance.

In the end of the section, we note that the verbs have a special form in the third face (3 l - HAS) and to Be (3 l. - IS, in Past.Simple - WAS). In proposals, such designs are often reduced by forming the end of the 's. IT. s. (IS / WAS) A PEN. He. s. (HAS) Learnt 10 Words.

Ending S nouns

The second most popular way to meet the English ending is to draw up a multiple number of nouns or put it in a presumptive case. In fact, and in another case, the nouns in English are added to the base.

Usually, the multiple number is formed by adding simple s. But if we take the noun, ending on SH, TCH, SS, CH, X, O, the end, as in the case of verbs, turns into ES. An important role is played by borrowed nouns with the ending on -O. They, unlike the original English words, will receive only the letter S.

  • MY.grandparents.grow.potato. es and.tomato. es aT.theirdacha is my grandfather and grandmother grow potatoes and tomatoes in the country.
  • Where.aremY.photo. s. from.theirbirthdayparty? - Where are my photos from the celebration of the Birthday?

Another important feature is associated with noun, finishing on F / Fe. In most cases, they change these letters on V and get the end of ES. But there are some exceptions that use the letter s.

  • THEREaremany.shel. ves. iN.theirroom - In the room there is a lot of shelves.
  • The Cats Like To Walk On The Roof s. - Cats Love walk by roofs.

In other cases, the reading, spelling and pronunciation rules in English for nouns are completely coincide with the table shown in the verbs section.

As for the assistant forms, their ending is formed using a special symbol - apostroph ('). Nouns. h. Get the ending -'s, and sowing. MN. h. if they already ends on s receive only apostrophe.

  • I REMEMBER MY PARENTS 'ADVICE - I I remember Council My Parents.
  • Jack's Life Is Very Interesting - Life Jack highly Interesting.

End and Ing

And the last part of the speech, which English grammar gave endings is the adjectives with the endings of ED and ING. The roots of their formation lies in the verbs, so they can rightly be called gestures. For these adjectives in English, the expression of active or promoted actions is characteristic, which corresponds to Russian valid and suffering communities. As of its basis, both types of these words coincide, and differ only in additional endings. Therefore, it is important to understand what these endings hide in themselves.

The adjectives with the end of the ING transmit the characteristic of the face / subject, its ability to active actions, influences on anyone. The expression answers the question "What?" And refers to the object of speech, and not to the speaker. It is noteworthy that the form of the word completely coincides with the English communion of the present (Participle i).

  • I Watched An Interesting Film Yesterday - I looked yesterday interesting film.
  • This Lesson Is Very Boring - This lesson highly boring.
  • IT Was An Amazing Evening is Was stunning evening.

Adjectives with ED in English express the opposite direction: the impact provided by the subject. With their help, the speaker describes its state; The impression produced by the subject of conversation. Such designs correspond to the form of communion in the last time (Participle II).

  • She Was Disappointed That Her Boyfriend Hadn't Called Her - She was Disappointed Top, what her guy not called to her.
  • I WAS SURPRISED THAT ALL MY BOOKS WERE SOLD FOR 2 WEEKS- Was Surprised agriculture, what everything my books were Sold out per 2 weeks.
  • My Little Brother IS Tired of His Homework - My Jr brother Tired from his home Work.

Examples show that the meaning of the entire statement depends on the use of ending. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to navigate in cases of using ED and ING endings.

As we learned from the material, the endings in English have an important function and can correspond to three parts of speech. Check the assimilation of the theory by performing small exercises.

As already mentioned, in the third face of the only number of time Present Simple verb, the end of -S is needed. But according to the rules of this time, such an end to the verb is added only in the affirmative proposals.
