Грамматика английского языка для школьников. Cборник упражнений. Книга II
Дорогие мальчики и девочки!
Вот и опять мы с вами встретились на страницах нашего пособия. В прошлой книге вы узнали о глаголах “to be”, “to have”, о грамматических временах Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense, Present Progressive (Continuous) Tense и о конструкции “there is (are)”.
Я надеюсь, что вы выполнили все упражнения, и это не вызвало у вас больших трудностей. Вот так шаг за шагом мы с вами будем путешествовать по стране знаний под названием «Английская грамматика». Не всегда наше путешествие будет лёгким. Как у всех путешественников, на нашем пути будут встречаться трудности, но мы обязательно их преодолеем. Первый шаг вы уже сделали, а теперь нам предстоит сделать второй, более сложный.
В этой книге вы познакомитесь с новыми грамматическими временами. Как я уже говорила, эта книга – продолжение предыдущего сборника. Если вы хорошо поработали ранее, то у вас не вызовут затруднений упражнения из этой книги.
А мои советы вам остаются прежними: делайте обязательно все упражнения, работайте ежедневно и прочитывайте написанное вслух.
Я убеждена, что вы трудолюбивые и умные ученики.
Я верю в ваш успех!

THE PAST SIMPLE (INDEFINITE) TENSE
Правильные глаголы образуют прошедшее время путём прибавления окончания –ed или –d, которое читается как [t], [d], [ıd].
Особенности правописания правильных глаголов:
– удваивается конечная согласная в односложных и двухсложных глаголах с краткой гласной;
skip – skipped
stop – stopped
hop – hopped
– в глаголах, оканчивающихся на согласную с последующей буквой “y”, конечная гласная “y” меняется на “i” и добавляется окончание “ed”.
try – tried
cry – cried
But
play – played
yesterday ['jɛstədı] вчера
last week (month, year, summer, Sunday) на прошлой неделе (месяце, году, летом, воскресенье)
the day before yesterday позавчера
