Напоминаю, что безличные предложения — это предложения, в которых нет подлежащего. Первый и второй тип безличных предложений описывают явления природы, погоду, указывают на время и расстояние.
После того, как освоено очередное грамматическое правило, его необходимо отработать в тренировочных упражнениях. Такие упражнения называются техническими, так как в них отрабатывается устно и письменно ТЕХНИКА соответствующего грамматического правила. Начинаем с самого простого, то есть с “знакомства” с безличными предложениями на английском языке. Читая английский текст, вы встречаете безличные предложения “разбросанными” по всему тексту, то есть среди личных предложений. В упражнении безличные предложения собраны вместе в разных временах. Все предложение написаны в утвердительной форме (+) и их надо поставить в отрицательную (-) и вопросительную (?) формы. Само собой разумеется все предложения надо перевести.
Упражнения такого уровня предназначены для устной речи и здесь просто нужна механическая отработка изученного материала. При желании можно упражняться и письменно, однако проговорить предложения все же необходимо.
