Правильное употребление артиклей в английском языке является достаточно
сложным. Кроме довольно большого количества правил употребления артиклей,
существует много исключений из правил, которые также следует знать и помнить.
1.1. Основные правила употребления артиклей.

1.1.1. Употребление артиклей с именами нарицательными.
Неопределенный артикль употребляется:

- с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе, когда имеется в виду
любой представитель данного класса лиц или предметов:
They live in a lovely house.
I’m reading a good book at the moment.
She’s expecting a baby.
- когда существительное служит в предложении именной частью составного
сказуемого и используется, чтобы описать, кем или чем является лицо или
предмет, о котором говорится в предложении:
My brother is an engineer.
That’s an instrument for measuring distance.
- когда существительное служит приложением:
John Bolton, a student of our University, took the first place in the chess
tournament.
- если перед существительным, употребляемом в общем смысле, можно поставить
слово “every”
A computer can quickly make calculations, store and rearrange information.
Определенный артикль употребляется:

- перед существительными в единственном или множественном числе, когда из
ситуации или контекста ясно, какое именно лицо или предмет имеется в виду:
The room was in a mess. The books were on the floor and on the chairs…
Where is the key?
Mind the baby! She’s near the fire.
- перед существительными, являющимися единственными в своем роде или в
данной обстановке (the Queen, the Earth, the Atlantic):
The sun was getting warmer.
When goods have been loaded on a ship, the captain signs a receipt called a bill of
lading.
- перед названием определенных общественных мест, если они употребляются в
общем смысле:
35

I’m going to the library.

предметов

- перед исчисляемым существительным в единственном числе после such,
quite и rather:

(В последних двух случаях перед исчисляемыми существительными во

существительными вещественными.
Имена существительные вещественные употребляются:
- без артикля, когда речь идет о веществе в общем смысле: We can’t live without
water. Gas is cheaper than electricity.
и когда одно вещество противопоставляется другому: Which do you prefer: tea or
coffee?
- с местоимениями some и any, когда речь идет о каком-то неопределенном
количестве вещества: Bring me some water. Isn’t there any sugar in the sugar
basin?
- с определенным артиклем, когда речь идет об определенном количестве
вещества, когда имеется определение, выделяющее определенное количество
вещества, или из ситуации ясно, о каком именно количестве идет речь: I forgot to
pay the bill and now the gas has been cut off. The milk I bought yesterday has turned
sour. The ore discovered by the expedition is of a high quality. The nickel was
probably inessential in the reaction.
- с неопределенным артиклем, когда имеется в виду порция вещества:

Употребление артикля при наличии классифицирующего и описательного
определений, а также прилагательного в превосходной степени не отличается от
его употребления с нарицательными существительными: Silk which is used for the
aviation industry must be of the highest quality. Bulgaria exports tobacco, which is one
of the stable agricultural products of the country. This is the best wine I have ever
drunk.
b) Употребление артикля и местоимений some и any с именами
существительными отвлеченными.
Артикль не употребляется перед названиями научных дисциплин, видов
спорта, искусств:
42

Имена существительные отвлеченные употребляются:
- без артикля, когда они выражают отвлеченные понятия в общем смысле:

- с определенным артиклем, когда они имеют при себе определение, относящее
это понятие к какому-либо лицу или предмету: He was the hope of his parents. I
like the music of this ballet.
- с местоимениями some и any, когда речь идет о неопределенной степени
качества:
There is some difference between these two samples. He did not show any fear.
- с неопределенным артиклем, когда речь идет о разновидности качества или
чувства:
He has a cleverness quite of his own. He showed a patience that I had never
expected of him.
- с неопределенным артиклем, когда имеются существительные period,
population, distance, height, salary и др. с последующим предлогом of +
числительное + существительное: He has been working here for a period of 2
years.
c) Отсутствие артикля перед именами существительными нарицательными -
исчисляемыми и неисчисляемыми.
Артикль отсутствует:
- перед существительным, имеющим при себе другой определитель: My room
is large. This book is interesting.
- перед исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе, когда в
единственном числе следовало бы употребить неопределенный артикль: This plant
is engaged in the manufacture of pumps. They are hard working students. Squares
have four sides.
These are such interesting books!
Следует также помнить, что многие существительные имеют как отвлеченное, так
и конкретное вещественное значение:
medicine a medicine
glass a glass
iron an iron
opera an opera
painting a painting
radio a radio
tin a tin

1.3. Имя существительное в роли определения.
Существительное может служить в качестве определения к другому

существительному. Такое существительное может быть
a) в притяжательном падеже, например, the professor’s opinion, the manager’s
signature, reader’s conference;
b) в общем падеже, то есть без изменения своей формы. Такое существительное
переводится на русский язык прилагательным, существительным в
родительном падеже, предложным оборотом или причастным оборотом:
an iron bridge - железный мост
light waves - световые волны
an institute building - здание института
a particle model - модель частиц
an exchange agreement - соглашение об обмене
war damage - ущерб, нанесенный войной.
Имя существительное может иметь в качестве определения два и более
существительных в общем падеже, а существительное в функции определения
может, в свою очередь, иметь определение, выраженное существительным,
прилагательным или причастием. В таких случаях необходимо внимательно
прочитать и проанализировать выражение, чтобы разбить его на составляющие
части. Чаще всего помогает прием чтения от ключевого слова к началу цепочки
слов:

engine-driven generator - генератор с приводом от двигателя,
permanent bar magnet - постоянный стержневой магнит,
a super high voltage transmission line - линия передачи сверхвысоких напряжений,

В английском языке различают два способа образования слов:
- словопроизводство, т.е. образование одного слова из другого,
- словосложение, т.е. образование одного слова путем соединения двух слов.
Слова, образованные словосложением, встречаются в английском языке довольно
часто (newspaper, schoolboy, steamship, father-in-law, red-hot, to broadcast и т.д.),
однако в целом при их переводе и употреблении не встречается столько
трудностей, как при употреблении слов, образованных способом
словопроизводства. Поэтому далее будет рассматриваться в основном
словопроизводство.
2.1. Совпадение разных частей речи по форме.
Такое совпадение форм особенно часто случается у существительных и глаголов,

например:
Существительные Глаголы
answer to answer
class to class
measure to measure
purchase to purchase
Иногда при совпадении формы существительные имеют ударение на первом

слоге, а соответствующие им глаголы на втором:
increase to increase
export to export
import to import
Совпадение форм встречается также у прилагательных и глаголов, например:

Прилагательные Глаголы
clean to clean
empty to empty
free to free
В некоторых случаях совпадение форм встречается у нескольких частей речи,
например, слово light может быть существительным, прилагательным и глаголом.

Глава 4. Предлог.
Так как в современном английском языке падежные окончания почти
полностью отсутствуют, то предлоги играют важную роль, являясь одним из
главных средств выражения отношения существительного (или местоимения) к
другим словам в предложении. Предлоги выражают пространственные,
временные, причинные и др. отношения. Многие предлоги имеют несколько
значений: at the table, at 5 o’clock, to laugh at smb.
Некоторые глаголы могут употребляться с различными предлогами, меняя свое
значение в зависимости от предлога: to look at smb. – смотреть на кого-то; to
look for smb. – искать кого-то; to look after smb.- присматривать за кем-то.
Предлоги также входят в состав большого числа словосочетаний и выражений.
Некоторые глаголы в английском языке требуют после себя предлога, в то время
как после соответствующих им русских глаголов предлог не употребляется: to
wait for smb.- ждать кого-то; to listen to smb.- слушать кого-то. С другой
стороны, в английском языке есть ряд глаголов, которые не требуют после себя
предлога, тогда как соответствующие им русские глаголы употребляются с
предлогами: to follow smb. - следовать за кем-то; to enter smth.- входить в.
Предлоги бывают простые (of, for, on), сложные (below, between), составные (in
front of, out of).
Предлоги обычно ставятся перед существительными, к которым они относятся,
однако в ряде случаев могут стоять после них, а также в конце предложения:
This is a picture on the wall.
What street do you live in?
This novel is much spoken about.
Следует также отличать случаи так называемого несвободного, фиксированного
употребления предлогов в том или ином сочетании слов: on duty, on foot; а
также широкое употребление послелогов, то есть предлогов, обязательных для
ряда глаголов и стоящих после них: (to laugh at, to listen to и т.д.)
Можно выделить три относительно большие группы предлогов: предлоги
времени, предлоги места, предлоги направления.
4.1.Предлоги времени.
Ниже перечислены основные предлоги времени.

on – on Sunday, on the tenth of February
in – in two days, in September

Упр.4.1.5. While - это союз, за которым следует придаточное предложение

(подлежащее + сказуемое). Если говорят “X happened while Y happened”, то это
означает, что события X и Y случились в одно и то же время.

During - это предлог и за ним следует существительное. Значение его то же, что
и у while - в течении, во время: during the film /lesson / afternoon / football match.
Пример: I worked on a farm during the holidays.
Словосочетания с while и during отвечают на вопрос When? - Когда?
Словосочетания с for отвечают на вопрос How long? - Сколько времени? Как
долго?
Пример: I lived there for three years / six months.
Следует помнить, что a while - существительное, означающее период времени:

Miles Kington
Could I say to the vet, “Here is my cat, please have her sent up?”
Learning English as a Second Language
Part 597: Dealing with political pollsters.
Please help me. What do I say if I stopped in the street by a man asking questions
about elections? This was happening to me all the time during the general election.
You say: ”Put me down as a Don’t Know”.
Put me down as a Don’t Know, I see. What exactly does that mean?
It means you don’t want any more questions.
I see. What does “put me down” mean?
It means, write me down on paper.
But in lesson 413, you told me that “put down” means to make a lot of fun of. Your
sentence was “Every comedian thinks it is funny to put down Val Doonican.”
Yes, well, it means that as well.
So maybe the man asking the questions will make fun of me?
No, no.
And in lesson 512, you said that “put down” also means to have your favourite
animal killed. Your sentence was: “We are taking our cat to the vet for him to be put
down.”
Did I? Well, yes, it means that too.
So I am afraid that the man asking the political questions will have me painlessly
killed when I say “Put me down as a Don’t Know.”
No, no, he won’t do that, I promise.
If “put down” means to make fun of, suppose “put up” means to take seriously.
No, no. It means to accommodate for a few days. Here is another sentence for you:
“My mother has written to say she is coming to stay with us, so we will have to put
her up for the weekend.”
That is a bit like a sentence I remember from lesson 87. “I do my best to put up with
your mother.”
Ah, yes, that’s put up with.
What does “put down with” mean?
Nothing.
Could I say “Set me down as a Don’t Know”?
No. “Set down” means to let someone off a train at a railway station.
And “set up” means to let them on the train at the railway station?
Mmm, not exactly. Actually, it means something the police do when all else fails.
Here is another sentence for you. “I spent three years in jail because the police set me
up for the Croydon job”.
Would they do that?
Not if you’d really done the Croydon job. “Set up,” by the way, also means to give
someone lots of money. For example, my parents set me up as a teacher of English as
a second language.
But the police would not give you lots of money for the Croydon job?
No, I think not.
Would it be possible to say to this man in the street: “Sent me down as a Don’t
Know?”
Well, not really, “Send down” means to put someone in prison.
Oh, I see. The police set you up first and then they send you down.
Yes. Well, not quite. The police set you up, but the judges send you down.
This is all done to make more jobs?
Yes, I think so.
Well, if “send down” means to put you in prison, does “send up” mean get someone
out of prison?
Not exactly. In fact, not at all. “Send up” means to make a lot of fun of.
Ah, just like “put down”. So the sentence from lesson 413 could also be: “Every
comedian thinks it is funny to send up Val Doonican”?
Very good, absolutely right. Spot on.
And I could also say to the man in the street: “Send me up as a Don’t Know.”
No.
And I could say to the vet: ”Here is my cat - please have her sent up”?
No.
English is very difficult to learn as a second language.
Believe me, English is very difficult to teach as a second language. It gets me down
sometimes.
Get down? You mean, as in the phrase: “Get down and boogie”?
Where did you learn to speak like that?
In a disco in the West End, where I also learn English as a second language.
Ah, no, that is American as a second language. Oh, just look at the time. I think that is
enough for today’s lesson. I must get off.
Get off with whom?
I will deal with that in our next lesson.

действительном, так и в страдательном залоге. Непереходные глаголы

Глава 6. Модальные глаголы.
6.1. Вступление.
Чтобы успешно применять модальные глаголы, помимо хорошо известных
правил их употребления необходимо знать некоторые детали, которые, может
быть, не столь часто упоминаются в учебниках и пособиях, однако очень важны
для понимания сути и функций модальных глаголов в английском языке.
1. Одно и то же отношение к действию можно передать с помощью разных

модальных глаголов. Поэтому, прежде чем использовать модальный глагол,
следует оценить, например, “степень” долженствования (требование жесткое,
средней степени или более мягкое) или “вид” долженствования (в силу
общих норм, обстоятельств, договоренности или моральных норм), степень
вероятности протекания события и пр.
2. Практически каждый модальный глагол многозначен. Его значение
определяется контекстом высказывания или формой следующего за ним
инфинитива.
3. Отрицательная форма, которая для большинства модальных глаголов
образуется путем добавления частицы not, часто имеет самостоятельное
модальное значение. Например, для выражения высокой степени
вероятности протекания события используется глагол must. Если же мы в
такой же степени уверены, что событие не может произойти, то
употребляется глагол can’t.
4. Следует также иметь в виду словосочетания, выражающие отношение к
действию, например: would rather (do), had better (do), it’s high time to do.
6.2. Таблица случаев употребления модальных глаголов, их

эквивалентов и вспомогательных глаголов в модальном

I had a most strange experience a few weeks ago. I was sitting at home, when at
about nine o’clock there was a knock on the door. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so I
wondered (a) _____________ . I opened the door, and there was this man, wearing an
old raincoat. I asked him (b) ____________, but he didn’t tell me at first. He wanted
to know (c) ___________________ in the house, which I thought was an odd
question. Anyway, I said I was, because everyone else had gone out for the evening.
Then he asked (d) ________________, so I said that I wanted to know who he was
before I’d let him into my house, which is only natural, after all. Anyway, he didn’t
answer, but looked up and down the street. By this time I was getting a bit worried,
and I wondered (e) ______________ , because this chap seemed a bit suspicious. But
he told me (f) _____________. He was a policeman, and he showed me his card to
prove it. He said that the police were watching the people who lived in a house a few
doors away, and he asked me (g) ___________________ .
I said I didn’t. I’d seen them a few times, but I hadn’t spoken to them. Then he
wanted to know (h) __________________ , so I said ‘a few weeks’. I’d seen their
furniture van on the day they moved in. Then he explained (i)
_____________________ . He asked me if he could stay in my front room and watch
the street for a while, so I showed him in. I asked him (j) _________________ , and
he said it was because they suspected of being drug smugglers. I couldn’t believe it.
He stayed for three hours, and then left. Anyway, a few days later, I read in the paper
that the police had arrested them.
