ВРЕМЕНА ГРУППЫ CONTINUOUS.

Группа Continuous (Progressive) представлена в английском языке временами:

· The Present Continuous (Progressive) Tense - настоящее продолженное время,

· The Past Continuous (Progressive) Tense – прошедшее продолженное время,

· The Future Continuous (Progressive) Tense – будущее продолженное

Времена группы Continuous обозначают действия, которые протекают, протекали или будут протекать в определённый момент настоящего, прошедшего или будущего времени. Дополнительной характеристикой является процесс, т.е. незаконченность выполнения данного действия на определённый момент времени.

Любое время группы Continuous образуется по общей схеме:

V - это глагол.

Present Continuous: I am listening to the radio. - Я слушаю радио .

Past Continuous : When he came in I was listening to the radio. – Когда он вошел , я слушал радио .

Future Continuous: When you come I shall be listening to the radio. – Когда ты придешь , я буду слушать радио .

The Present Continuous Tense (Настоящее продолженное время).

Образование Present ContinuousTense.

1. The Present Continuous (Progressive ) Tens e образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в настоящем времени и причастия настоящего времени Present Participle :

Present Participle образуется от инфинитива без частицы to с помощью прибавления суффикса –ing: to do – doing.

· Если глагол заканчивается на «e» , а перед ней стоит согласная, то «e» исчезает: use-using, manage - managing. Но: dye - dyeing.

· Буква «l» на конце слова удваивается: travel - travelling.

· А вот «у» , несмотря на предыдущие согласные или гласные буквы, сохраняется: stay - staying, study - studying.

· Согласная после краткого ударного слога удваивается: stop - stopping, sit - sitting .

· «ie» меняется на «y » на конце глагола: die - dying.

2. Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи частицы not , которая ставится после вспомогательного глагола: I am not working. He is not working. We are not working.

3. В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим: Am I working? Is he working? Are you working?

В разговорном английском языке вместо полных форм обычно употребляется сокращенные: is not - isn’t , are not -aren’t

Употребление Present Continuous Tense.

1. Для выражения длительного действия, совершающегося в момент речи:

· She is typing a letter. - Она печатает письмо (сейчас).

Глаголы в форме настоящего продолженного времени часто употребляются с обстоятельствами now - сейчас, at the moment - в настоящий момент. Однако часто эти слова в предложении отсутствуют, так как они всегда очевидны из самой формы глагола.

2. Для выражения длительного действия, совершающегося в настоящий период времени, хотя и не обязательно в момент речи:

· Не is writing a new play. - Он пишет новую пьесу.

3. Для обозначения действий, являющихся постоянной характеристикой определенного человека. Речь говорящего в этом случае приобретает эмоциональный оттенок (раздражение, похвала, осуждение и т.п.). В таких предложениях, как правило, есть наречия always, constantly:

· Oh, I have no patience with you! Why are you always losing your keys? - О, мое терпение лопает! Почему ты всегда теряешь ключи?

4. Для обозначения запланированного действия в будущем, когда высказывается намерение совершить действие или уверенность в его совершении (часто употребляется с глаголами движения):

· The teacher is making a test on Monday. - Преподаватель проведет контрольную в понедельник.

5. Глаголы состояния в Continuous не употребляется, т.к. они сами обозначают процесс. Эти глаголы употребляются в Simple:

To love (любить);

To have (иметь);

To look (выглядеть);
- to think (думать);
- to want (хотеть);
- to live (жить);
- to be (быт, находиться);
- to feel (чувствовать);
- to see (видеть);
- to know (знать);
- to remember (помнить);
- to hear (слышать);
- to stay (оставаться);

Исключение составляет тот случай, когда хотят показать, что данное состояние временное.

· How are you feeling? - Great. – Как ты себя чувствуешь? –Великолепно.

Некоторые из вышеперечисленных глаголов могут использоваться в форме Соntinuous, но значение их при этом меняется:

Work, swim, come, play, lie, tell, get, take, cut, drink, make, hit, sleep, try, look, walk, serve, eat, die, sit, cry, ski, travel, smile, begin, prepare, stop, listen, shave.

Answers: working, swimming, coming, playing, lying, telling, getting, taking, cutting, drinking, making, hitting, sleeping, trying, looking, walking, serving, eating, dying, sitting, crying, skiing, travelling, smiling, beginning, preparing, stopping, listening, shaving.
