WORD ORDER IN ENGLISH

The three most important laws of English grammar.

1. In an English affirmative and negative sentence, the direct word order is: SUBJECT-Predicate.
The subject and predicate are obligatory members of the sentence.
In impersonal sentences, a formal subject is introduced, most often the pronoun it, which is not
translated into Russian: It is autumn - Autumn. It "s getting dark. - It's getting dark
2. The negative particle NOT is in the third place in the sentence.
3. In an interrogative sentence, the SUBJECT is never the first word in the sentence.

VERB FORMS

The verb in English has three main forms, called the first, second and third - I, II and III.
1) The initial form of the verb V1.
This is the form given in the dictionary.
2) Form Past Simple V2.
It is used only in affirmative sentences of the Past Simple tense (simple past). I went. He
saw. We played.
According to the method of formation of the second and third forms, English verbs are divided into 2 groups.
- Correct / Regular (obey the rule)
- Irregular / Irregular (the rule is not obeyed)
Irregular verbs must be memorized in three forms at once.
The second form of regular verbs is formed with the ending -ed, which is added to the first form
verb V1.
V1+ed=V2 (for regular verbs) Ex.: They played yesterday.
When forming V2, the following spelling rules must be observed:
1. If the ending -e is omitted when adding the ending -ed, the letter -e is omitted.
close+ed=closed; like+ed=liked;
2. If the verb ends in -y, which is preceded by a consonant, then when adding the ending -ed
the letter -y changes to -i.
try+ed=tried; cry+ed=cried;
! If the -y is preceded by a vowel, then no change is required.
3. If in monosyllabic and disyllabic verbs the vowel sound is short, then the final consonant is doubled.
skip+ed=skipped; stop+ed=stopped;
3) Past Participle V3.
For regular verbs, V2 and V3 are the same. Irregular verbs have irregular shapes, they need
memorize.
4) Present Participle V+ing.
1. If the verb is written in -e, then
writing+ing=writing; come+ing=coming;
2. If a monosyllabic or two-syllable verb ends in a consonant, and it is preceded by a short vowel,
then the final consonant is doubled.
sit+ing=sitting; swim+ing=swimming; run=ing=running;
3. If the verb ends in -y, then adding the ending -ing does not change the letter -y, regardless of
whether it is preceded by a vowel or a consonant.
try+ing=trying; cry+ing=crying; play+ing=playing;

I (Infinitive) V1 - be
II (Past Simple) V2/Ved - was, were
III (Past Participle) V3/Ved - been
IV (Present Participle) Ving - being

Varieties of the verb get

The get verb is so important that it needs to be discussed separately. It has a lot of different meanings (like
independent, and together with prepositions), perhaps he is the champion in this indicator.

1) Remember? I got a car. I have a car. Let me remind you that the verb get is wrong!
get - got - got (gotten) Gotten is extremely rare. I have got a car = I have a car. Or you can:
I've got a car. Here you can not put got at all! Also with she/He/It - He has got a car = He has a car =
He's got a car.

2) get, get, get. Syn. (synonyms) receive , obtain. If you choose between receive and get ,
it is better of course - get. I got a message. I received a message (= I received a message)
How did you get this rare book? How did you get this rare book?

3) find. Syn. find. Hello, can I speak to Liz? sure. I'll get her. Can I speak to Liz? Certainly,
I will find her.
Is it difficult to get a job these days? = Is it difficult to find a job these days? Difficult to find a job
these days?

4) buy. Syn. buy, purchase. I like your sweater. Where did you get it? I like your sweater.
Where did you buy it?

5) get to, arrive (get to a place) Syn. arrive. I usually get to work before 8.30 (=arrive at
work)
I usually get (arrive) to work before 8.30. ! Stable expressions: get to work and go to work . But!
go home. In the latter case, it is necessary without a pretext! Like get home get home
What time did you get home last night? What time did you get home?
get here/there (always without a preposition)

6) understand, catch, "cut through". Syn. understand. Do you get what I mean? See through what I have in
mind? I got it! I got it (got it)

7) If we see such a structure - get + adjective, comparative adjective. This means -
become, become. Get late / angry / hungry / taller / better etc. If it comes next
adjective in a superlative degree or a noun, then get cannot be put in the meaning,
only become. For example: become a teacher, become the best. As stated earlier, the meaning is
to become, to become - as if indicating some kind of change, or a transition from one state to
other. Such a scheme:
I'm not hungry (3 hours have passed)
(I'm not hungry) (I'm getting hungry) (I'm hungry)
Now I'm hungry (I'm hungry)
That is, in fact, got hungry = be hungry.
Look at the following examples: be angry get angry
be tired (be tired) get tired (tired) be married (be married) get married (marry)
You can also do this: Your English is getting better Your English is getting better.
Drink your coffee! It's getting cold! Drink coffee! He is cooling down.
turn on the light! It's getting dark. Turn on the light! It's getting dark.

8) Get lost / killed / punished / awarded = be lost / killed / punished / awarded.
In this case, get expresses the idea of ​​the passive voice. The only difference is that get is less
formal verb and is used more often in everyday speech. Get a feel for the examples:
We got lost in the forest. We got lost in the forest. = We are lost in the forest.
He was punished by his mummy. He was punished by his mother. = He got punished. He was punished.
He got killed by a truck. He was hit by a truck (to death) Such a scene was in the movie "Cemetery of household
animals" when they show how a guy is brought to the doctor and it turns out that he was hit by a truck.

If you studied English as a child, then long tables with three forms have been familiar to you since school. irregular verbs. But the regular verbs of the English language, despite their frequent use in speech, for some reason are always bypassed and are not studied in tabular form. And very much in vain, because they also have special grammatical cases. In addition, having memorized a whole list of regular verbs, we will expand our vocabulary and feel more confident when building sentences, without a doubt putting any verb in the right form in the context. But first, let us recall once again what rule gave the name to such verbs.

Forms of regular English verbs

As you remember, in English grammar there are only four verb forms. Two of them do not require close study: we get acquainted with the infinitive when we are working on learning new words, and the present participle (Participle I) is invariably formed by adding the ending -ing. Two forms remain, according to which there is a division into regular English verbs, and irregular.

According to the grammatical norm *, the formation of Past Simple (simple past) and Participle II (past participle) occurs by adding the ending -ed to the stem of the word. Accordingly, the appearance of these verb forms is of the same type.

* Exceptions to this rule just make up the class of irregular verbs.

But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Adding an ending has its own phonetic and grammatical nuances associated with linguistic features. The following grammar table will help you avoid incorrect formation and pronunciation of past tense forms.

Grammar norms
rule Example
For verbs ending in -e, the final vowel is not doubled, i.e. add only the letter d. ti e-tie d (tie)

lik e– like d (like)

Queu e– queue d (stand in line)

If the word has one syllable, and it ends with a consonant, then it is doubled. kni t– kni tted (to knit)

pla n– pla nned (to plan)

ro b– ro bbed (Rob)

The final l when adding an ending always requires duplication. travel l– travel lled (travel)
Verbs with the ending " consonant+y”, replace the last letter with i. t ry-t ried (try)

hur ry– hur ried (hurry)

car ry– car ried (carry)

Words that end in -y followed by a vowel usually add -ed. enj oy-enj oyed (enjoy)

st ay– st eyed (to stand)

pray-pra yes (pray)

Pronunciation nuances
The ending is pronounced as a voiced d if it is preceded by a voiced sound. live-li ved (live)

phone - phon ed (call)

The ending is pronounced as a voiceless t if it is preceded by a voiceless sound. swap-swap ped (exchange)

finish-fini Shed (end)

The ending is pronounced as a voiced id if it is preceded by the letters d or t. study-stu died (to study)

wait-wai ted (wait)

Now we are familiar with all the important points related to the correct formation of verb forms. It is time to get acquainted with the popular representatives of this class of verbs. The table below will present the most common regular verbs with translation and their pronunciation in English.
