Grammar lab

S ne reamintim acum regulile generale referitoare la substantivele din limba englez.Substantivele numrabile sunt substantivele de genul: car, book, town, T-shirt. Pot fi numrate, ceea ce nseamn c au att form de singular, ct i de plural:

a car cars a book books

Substantivele nenumrabile reprezint cu precdere materii sau produse n stare lichid sau solid, care nu pot fi cuantificate cu ajutorul numerelor, de ex. water, grass, sugar. Ele au doar numrul singular.Trebuie s reinei c n faa substantivelor nenumrabile nu folosim articolul nehotrt a, an i nici numeralul: (nu spunem: a water, three food).

n schimb, articolul hotrt the poate fi folosit att cu substantive nenumrabile, ct i cu substantive numrabile la numrul singular i plural, dac ne referim la un lucru concret.

I like tomatoes.

I like the tomatoes I bought yesterday.

Putem folosi verbul can i atunci cnd cerem sau acordm permisiunea.Can I borrow your pen? Pot mprumuta stiloul tu?You can smoke in here. Poi fuma aici.

Atunci cnd cerem permisiunea, putem folosi, de asemenea, verbul could. n schimb, pentru a acorda sau refuza permisiunea, apelm la verbul can:Could I borrow your pen? A putea mprumuta stiloul tu? Of course, you can. Bineneles c poi. Could I park here? A putea parca aici? Im afraid you cant. M tem c nu poi.

May /me/ este tot un verb modal i l putem folosi atunci cnd cerem sau acordm permisiunea i atunci cnd vorbim despre ea, cu singura diferen c may se folosete ntr-un context mult mai formal:May I see you again? Te mai pot vedea?You may write to me if you want to. Poi s-mi scrii, dac vrei.

Comparai:Can I come in? Pot s intru? (rugminte neutr, neformal)Could I talk to you? A putea vorbi cu tine? (rugminte politicoas)May I call back later? Pot s sun mai trziu? (rugminte formal)

n schimb, dac vorbim despre nite reguli impuse de o autoritate superioar, atunci n loc de can i could mai putem folosi i perifraza (to) be allowed to /bi alad t/.May I stop in front of your house? M pot opri n faa casei tale?(Will you allow me?) (mi permii?) darAre we allowed to stop here? Avem voie s ne oprim aici?(Are there any rules?) (Exist cumva nite reguli n sensul acesta?)

Exercise 15

My favourite advert is the one about an Alpha Romeo. It is set in a desert, a man arrives in a new Alpha Romeo at a petrol station and explains to the assistant why the car is fantastic it has a lot of functions it can turn very easily and works perfectly on slippery, icy roads. Of course they are in the desert so all these are useless. Its incredibly funny and well- lmed. It makes you want to test the carI like all adverts of perfumes because they show celebrities, beautiful people in their beautiful surroundings or romantic situations and you can almost smell the atmosphere I know that they appeal to our desires to be like them and we tend to think that by buying a bottle of perfume we will be able to make ourselves more attractive. Nevertheless, they appeal to me through their absolutely beautiful imagery everything: people, clothes, houses and I usually like the smell of the perfume that I see on TV.

I hate most adverts but there is one or two that are worth seeing again and again probably because they have a unique idea and they are humorous they have fast action, good music and something funny. I think the best example is Kitkat a man gets into a taxi in India and the taxi driver is singing terribly, so the man puts a bar of Kitkat chocolate in his mouth and the man likes it so he switches on the radio with even more terrible music

I like those ads which advertise food or drink, particularly chocolates and beer. They always make me want to taste them immediately so I think they must be successful they persuade people to buy the product. Apart from this, they are usually nice to watch chocolate ads are soft, romantic and delicate and those that advertise beer are meant especially for men they show macho qualities strength, courage and real friendship.

I like any advertising that is good I mean if it has a catchy tune sometimes an old, 70s or 80s hit which sticks in my mind and I sing it all the time and I can hear other people singing it, too. I also like good slogans some of them make a lasting impression and I always remember them when Im doing my shopping and they probably somehow make me choose the right product thats the nature of advertising.

Exercise 21

Today is May 8 the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the birth of Coca-Cola. Its history dates back to the year 1886 when Mr Pemberton, who was a pharmacist, carried a jug of syrup to his pharmacy. Frank M. Robin-son, who was Mr Pembertons friend, coined the name Coca-Cola for it. Coca-Cola, which was meant to be a refreshing soda drink, was put on sale for ve cents a glass.He took it to the local newspaper which advertised the drink so the sales rose to nine glasses a day If you are interested in the history of coke today, visit our website www

Exercise 31

Good morning to Business today. Well be talking about the recent trends we are observing on the job market namely people starting their companies and at the same time keeping their rst jobs just in case.We have Marie who is an advertising agent and runs her own business renting holiday equipment and Dan who has set up his jewellery company working as a tax consultant. Marie, tell us something about your two jobs.

MARIE: I have been working in advertising since I graduated from school. In the meantime I had a baby, so it was sort of a turning point and I started thinking about something more exible which would let me both work and be a mother. Then I read about a start-up scheme called the New Entrepreneurship Scholarships where advisers help you during the start-up process. So I signed up and they helped me through the rst stage of the process it was tough because in the beginning I was a full-time consultant, a full-time mother and spent every evening on learning new skills.

HOST: So how do you manage to reconcile the three things when for most people two of them would be too much?

MARIE: I keep repeating to myself that it is going to be an investment in my future, my sons future and my retirement plan, because with my own business and working much longer hours now Im planning to retire early.

HOST: Dont you think that if youre taking on too much, something will have to give in your career, your business or your personal life?

MARIE: Well, Im good at what I do after all, so

Discutnd aspectele implicate de cele dou timpuri prezent din limba englez Present Simple i Continuous, nu putem s nu amintim existena unei serii de verbe care de regul nu formeaz aspectul continuu (n -ing). Aceste verbe formeaz n general numai timpul Present Simple. Dac totui le ntlnii la forma continu -ing, e bine s tii c sensul lor a suferit o anumit modificare, deoarece descriu nite situaii particulare. Este vorba despre verbe care:

arat procese mintale sau aciuni ale simurilor, de ex.: hear , smell exprim sentimente, de ex.: hate , like exprim opinii, de ex.: agree , mean exprim existena, apartenena, de ex.: belong , possess

Prezentm mai jos lista celor mai importante verbe care nu sunt folosite de regul la forma continu. Citii-le cu atenie i reinei-le. Folosii filtrul rou pentru recapitularea verbelor.

(to) believe /bliv/ a crede(to) like /lak/ a plcea, a iubi(to) own /n/ a poseda, a deine, a avea(to) need /nid/ a avea nevoie(to) know /n/ a ti, a cunoate(to) dislike /dslak/ a displcea, a nu-i plcea(to) possess /pzes/ a poseda(to) remember /rmemb/ a ine minte(to) understand /ndstnd/ a nelege(to) hate /het/ a ur(to) have /hv/ a avea(to) want /wnt/ a vrea(to) love /lv/ a iubi(to) belong /bl/ a ine, a aparine(to) seem /sim/ a prea(to) see /si/ a vedea(to) feel /fil/ a simi (a avea sentimentul, a crede)

O parte a acestor verbe primesc forma -ing, schimbndu-i totodat sensul de baz, de ex.: think, have, look, feel, see.Comparai perechile de propoziii de mai jos i traducerile lor:What do you think about? Ce crezi despre? (cerem prerea)What are you thinking about? La ce te gndeti acum? (nu cerem prerea persoanei)She has a house in the country. Ea are o cas la ar.

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES

Henry VIII one of the most famous English kings was born on 28th June 1491, as the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He became king in 1509 after his brother Prince Arthurs death. In his youth Henry was athletic: extremely fond of hunting and tennis. He was very intelligent, spoke good French, Latin and Spanish. Henry liked writing both books and music. He was a good player of many instruments and a composer. He was also very religious.

Nowadays, Henry VIII is mainly known for his six marriages. He married his first wife Catherine of Aragon for political reasons, just after he became king. They had a daughter Mary I. By the end of the 1520s Henrys wife was in her forties and they still didnt have a son. The king was really desperate to have a male heir.He fell in love with Anne Boleyn, the sister of one of his many mistresses, so he decided to divorce Catherine and tried to persuade the Pope to allow him to do that. However, the Pope said no. So Henry VIII took England out of the Roman Catholic Church and made himself head of the Church of England. This was the start of Protestantism in England.In 1533, he married Anne Boleyn. Henry hoped finally to have a male heir. His wife, gave birth to another daughter, Princess Elizabeth. Henry decided to get rid of Anne. She was executed for adultery in 1536.In 1537, the king married his third wife the kind-hearted Jane Seymour. She finally gave birth to a son who later became Edward VI. Jane, however, died 12 days after the childs birth in 1537.He married his fourth wife, a German princess, Anne of Cleves for political reasons and soon divorced her. This marriage ended because Anne deliberately made herself unattractive so that she could be free to re-marry her sweetheart.In 1540, Henry VIII married the beautiful and ambitious Lady Catherine Howard, but she also was executed for adultery. His last wife Catherine Parr outlived him and died in 1548. None of the last two wives gave birth to any children. King Henry VIII died on 28th January 1547. To some, Henry VIII was a strong and ruthless ruler. But he left the country in a weak and uncertain state.

SHAKESPEARE AND HIS FAMILYWilliam Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His family were rather rich and he was quite lucky because he went to school.

In 1582, when he was 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, a woman from a nearby village. They lived happily together for a few years and they had 3 children. Suddenly, in the late 1580s, Shakespeare heard the call and left his family. He went to London with a group of travelling actors. His wife felt very unhappy.

In London, he started writing the plays which made him famous. He became known both as a playwright and an actor. He performed in plays even for Queen Elizabeth I. Shakespeare left London about 1610 and returned to Stradford where, after six years, died of a fever on 23rd April.
