Present (Simple) Indefinite Tense Настоящее простое время The Present (Simple) Indefinite служит для констатации факта совершения действия, часто происходящего постоянно. Оно употребляется также для обозначения действия, присущего лицу или предмету, обозначенному подлежащим. Очень часто в составе предложения с этим-временем фигурируют наречия времени: today – сегодня, every day – каждый день, every morning – каждое утро, usually – обычно, always – всегда, often – часто, seldom – редко, sometimes – иногда и др. Cочетания типа every day, every morning ставятся обычно в конце предложения. Наречия usually, often, seldom, always, sometimes и т. д. ставятся перед смысловым глаголом. Однако эти же наречия ставятся после форм глагола to be в повествовательном предложении. А наречие sometimes может стоять и в самом начале предложения. He often reads English books. – Он часто читает английские книги. He does his morning exercises every day. – Он делает зарядку каждый день. Sometimes we have tests. – Иногда мы пишем контрольные. Окончание -s, -es. Это признак 3-его лица единственного числа (он, она, оно). Во всех остальных случаях для обозначения данного времени мы применяем первую форму глагола (так называемую словарную форму). В вопросах любого типа требуются вспомогательные глаголы do (множественное число + 1, 2 лицо единственного числа), does (3 лицо единственного числа). Смысловой глагол употребляется при наличии вспомогательных глаголов в первой форме. Где ты живешь? – Where do you live? (специальный вопрос). Он ничего не знает об этом. – Не knows nothing about it. = He doesn't know anything about it. (отрицание). Он любит играть на гитаре или скрипке? – Does he like to play guitar or violin? (альтернативный вопрос). В специальных вопросах после слов «кто, что, кто из» в функции подлежащего вспомогательный глагол не нужен! Кто каждый день ходит на прогулку? – Who goes for a walk every day? (окончание -s, -es – сохраняется). Упражнение 1. Напишите следующие предложения в отрицательной форме: 1. I am a student. 2.
