Оглавление —> Глагол
Только в прошедшем времени Past Indafinite Tense мы встречаемся с разделением глаголов на — ПРАВИЛЬНЫЕ и НЕПРАВИЛЬНЫЕ. До этого момента, когда мы разбирались с глагольными формами в настоящем времени : Present Indefinite Tense и Present Continuous Tense — о правильных и неправильных глаголах не упоминалось.
Однако мы уже делили глаголы на две группы: глаголы-“пешки” и глаголы-“генералы”. И это неспроста. Два глагола-генерала (“to be” и “to have”) всегда стоят особняком и я уже объясняла, почему. Поэтому , когда мы тренируемся и отрабатываем грамматику Past Indefinite Tense, приходится выполнять не двойную ( как в настоящем Present Indefinite Tense), а тройную работу: для правильных и неправильных глаголов и отдельно — для глагола “to be”. Для начального уровня ( elementary) я уже написала упражнения для правильных и неправильных глаголов. Теперь потренируемся с глаголом “to be” в прошедшем времени. В упражнении рядом с глаголом “to be” я напишу предложения с любым глаголом –пешкой, чтобы вы “почувствовали” разницу. Все просто. Поставьте все предложения в отрицательную (-) и вопросительные (?) формы.
