2. Unlike the Russian language, in English, consonants are not deafened at the end of a word. Stunning of consonants is reflected in the meaning of the word. For example: - bag, - back.

3. The vowel e at the end of the word is not readable. The reading of a vowel in English depends on its position in the word (stressed or unstressed) and on the type of syllable (open or closed).

Reading vowels a, e, i, o, and, y depends on 1) the type of syllable in which they are 2) they are stressed or unstressed 3) on which letters are in front or behind them Rules for reading vowels a, e, i, o, i, y in stressed and unstressed syllables

The article is the most common noun determiner in English. There is no article in Russian.

There are two articles in English: the indefinite a and the definite the.

The indefinite article has two forms: a, an. The form a is used before words that begin with a consonant and is pronounced like a sound - a desk. The an form is used before words that begin with a vowel and is pronounced [n] - an end.

The indefinite article is used only with countable nouns in the singular, therefore, it is a sign of the singular of the noun. The indefinite article has a classifying meaning; it means that the noun it defines belongs to a class of objects, is one of a similar kind of objects. For example: Paul is a teacher.

The definite article the is pronounced before words beginning with a consonant - the lake, and before words beginning with a vowel - the end.

The definite article, unlike the indefinite article, is used with nouns both in the singular and in the plural. It indicates that 1) the object (or person) is selected from all persons (or objects) of this class known to the interlocutor, or that 2) the person (or object) was mentioned earlier.

For example: It's a teacher. The teacher is smart. It's a lake. The lake is deep.

The article is, as indicated, a sign of a noun, a function word. It is always pronounced without stress, together with the word following it. For example, a tent ["tent], the text ["tekst].

Russian question What time is it? In English it corresponds to What is the time? or What time is it? Answer: It is 7 (oclock). Seven o'clock.

Its 6 oclock (sharp) - Six hours (exactly).

Its twenty minutes past one. - It's twenty minutes past one.

1. Study and learn the rule.

Possessive case of nouns Unlike Russian, English has only two cases:

general (the common case) and possessive (the possessive case).

Nouns in the common case do not have any endings.

The possessive case denotes the belonging of an object to someone and is used mainly with animate nouns and proper names. The noun in the possessive case is the definition of the noun following it and answers the questions whose? whose? whose? In Russian, it corresponds to a noun in the genitive or possessive case.

The possessive case of singular nouns is formed by adding the ending -s to the noun. In this case, -s is pronounced according to the same rules as the ending -s of the plural of nouns. When two or more persons have the same object, the possessive ending -s is used only with the last noun. The possessive plural form is formed by adding an apostrophe () after the plural word, with no sound added to the pronunciation.

Words that do not form the plural according to the general rule are taken in the possessive case -s.

Kate Jane George Mn. number Sid and Nick Sid and Nick's sister - sister of Sid and Nick students children The idea of ​​belonging for inanimate objects is usually expressed by a noun in the common case with the preposition of, for example, the legs of the table - table legs. At the same time, a number of inanimate nouns can form the possessive case by adding -s. This form extends to nouns denoting:

a) time intervals and distance, yesterday's news - yesterday's news, today's menu - today's menu, a mile's distance - mile distance, an hour's rest - hour rest.

b) names of countries, cities, ships, planes: Britain's industry - UK industry, Moscow's underground - Moscow metro.

c) weight, cost, place a kilo's weight - kilogram weight, at the baker's - in a bakery, a ten dollars' note - a ten dollar bill.

d) with the words country - country, city - Big city, town - town, nature - nature, the world - the world, the moon - the moon, the earth - earth, the sea - sea, the ocean - ocean: the town's park, the world's first satellite - the first world satellite .

At the same time, the relations of ownership can be expressed using the turnover with the preposition of with animate nouns, except for proper nouns. For example, me sister's book = the book of my sister, this year's events - the events of this year - events of this year; but: Ann's book, Peter's friend.

Study and learn the rule.

The verb in Present Simple expresses an action that occurs regularly, constantly, often, repeats or expresses a well-known fact. In this sense, the present simple tense is used with adverbs of time: every day(evening, morning), in the evening (morning), as well as with adverbs of time:

always - always, usually - usually, often - often, seldom - rarely, sometimes - sometimes, regularly - regularly, as a rule - as a rule. In addition, Present Simple is used to express a planned future action, especially in schedules, routines (not personal plans).

The train will leave at 10.30.

Affirmative As can be seen from the table, the affirmative form for all persons, except for the 3rd person singular, coincides with the form of the infinitive without the to particle.

Reading a verb in the 3rd person singular is subject to the general rules for reading the suffix -s, -es.

The interrogative and negative forms are formed with the help of the verb to do, which in this case has lost its semantic meaning and plays the role auxiliary verb without the to particle. The auxiliary verb to do has a single form for all persons (do) except for the 3rd person singular (does).

Do you like tennis?

Where does she live?

When does he finish work?

In negative sentences, the verb do (does) is placed after the subject, followed by the particle not and the semantic verb (without to). The doesn't.

5. Study and learn the rule.

There are five main types of questions in English:

general, special, alternative, disjunctive and question to the subject. For the first three types of questions, reverse word order is used, i.e. auxiliary verb, subject, semantic verb and additional members of the sentence.

So, as you already know, the general question begins with the appropriate tense of the auxiliary predicate and we can only answer yes or no to it. For example:

Is this your book? – Yes, it is./ No, it isn't.

Do you go to the university by bus? – Yes, I do. / No, I don't.

An alternative question is asked in the same way as a general one, but a choice is offered using the word or (or). This question has a complete answer.

Do you go to the university by bus or by tram? – I go to the university by bus.

A special question begins with one of the question words what, when, why, where, how, how much/many, which, etc. The question word is followed by an auxiliary verb. For example:

Where is your brother? – He is at school.

What is the color of your favorite dress? – It's red.

Remember the meaning of the following questions:

To ask a disjunctive question or a question with a “tail”, we add the so-called “tail” to the original declarative sentence, which consists of an auxiliary verb and a pronoun that replaces the subject.

It should be remembered that if the structure of the sentence itself is affirmative, then the “tail” will be negative and vice versa.

The disjunctive question is usually asked in order to obtain confirmation of the information contained in the first part of the sentence. If you are sure of an affirmative answer, then the question is pronounced with a descending tone. In this case, the question often serves to start or maintain a conversation. When you are unsure of a positive answer, it is pronounced with a rising tone.

The interrogative part of this question is translated into Russian with the words isn't it?. As a rule, we answer this question briefly.

For example:

It's a nice day, isn't it? Yes, it is. - Nice day, isn't it? - Yes.

They are mathematicians, aren't they? No, they aren't. They are mathematicians, aren't they? - No.

There aren't any theaters in this city, are there? No, there aren't. There are no theaters in this city, are there? - Yes.

He doesn't learn English, does he? No, he doesn't. He doesn't study English, does he? - Yes.

The question to the subject begins with the interrogative word who (who) or what (what), which replace the subject of the declarative sentence, while the word order remains direct.

For example:

Who is missing today? – Lena is absent today. - Who is absent today? Lena is absent today.

What is good for your health? – Sport is good for my health. – What is good for your health? Sports are good for my health.

6. Read, translate and name the type of the following questions. Try to answer them.

1) What do you want to eat?

2) Where do you live?

3) Am I right?

4) He takes after his father, doesn't he?

5) Who do you go to the university with?

6) Who is your best friend?

7) Where are you from?

8) Does your mother work?

9) Do you study at school or at the university?

10) What is your father like?

7. Answer the questions using the words in brackets.

Example: What does your mother usually do in the kitchen in the morning? (cook/breakfast).

She usually cooks breakfast in the morning.

1) What does your Granny usually do in the garden in the evening? (water/ 2) What does your friend usually do in the living room in the evening?

3) What do you usually do on Saturday evening? (go to the theatre).

4) What do the usually do at the stadium? (play different games).

5) What do Jim and Ted often do during their English lessons? (read, write and speak English).
