ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ

Пособие «Времена английского глагола» рассчитано на студентов младших курсов факультета иностранных языков; его также можно использовать в работе с учащимися лицеев, гимназий, классов с углубленным изучением английского языка. Его целью является помощь в отработке навыков использования времен английского глагола в активном и пассивном залогах. Элементарная лексика, используемая в упражнениях, позволяет учащимся сосредоточить основное внимание именно на грамматических явлениях.

Пособие состоит из трех разделов; первый и второй предназначены главным образом для аудиторной работы, вследствие чего в них практически отсутствуют упражнения на перевод. В эти разделы пособия включены упражнения с разнообразными методическими установками; многие из них носят коммуникативный характер.

Третья часть содержит упражнения, которые могут быть рекомендованы для самостоятельной работы после завершения выполнения упражнений предыдущих разделов. Это – упражнения на перевод с русского языка на английский, а также на выбор формы из нескольких предложенных вариантов. Каждое из них предназначено для закрепления учебного материала в комплексе; кроме того, в них включен материал по употреблению предлогов. Несколько заключительных упражнений предполагают перефраз предложений, а также составление связного рассказа из отдельных предложений, для чего также требуется знание грамматических времен.

При составлении пособия использованы материалы из трудов отечественных и зарубежных грамматистов последних лет.
