What is most difficult for English language learners?Ask anyone and they'll tell you - times.But what exactly is in these times is not - this question there is no answer.A casket just opened.
reasons for the difficulty of studying the times in English
Firstly, a lot of times, especially problems caused verb tenses do.After Russian, where only three times, plenty of verbal forms is a real shock.Wrong presenting the material can permanently discourage learn English in humans.Secondly, after the first shock people find it difficult to compare Russian times and verb forms with the appropriate verb forms in English.Hence the phrase, "Why do the British have come up with so many times?" Most often asked questions such small children, when just beginning to learn the language.
Verbs do (does) to Present simple
Typically, the complexity begins at the time of the first study - Present simple.There are pitfalls in the auxiliary verbs.Not only that Russian and Ukrainian language they do not, so also do not understand why they are in the English language.As paradoxical as may sound, they are necessary in order to avoid confusion in time.The fact that English words do not change either by birth or by numbers or on cases.How to determine which time said the offer?As an auxiliary verb.For example, if we see the verb in a sentence do (does), we can safely say that in front of us - Present simple (simple present).Consider the following cases of its use.
usage of do and does
Is this terrible verb, without which it is impossible to make an offer in real time?English verb do (does) - the most consumed.It can be both sense and support.As the main verb verb do / does used in its original meaning - to do.For example, we offer
- Masha likes to do lessons and does not like to be disturbed.That is why she does homework alone.- Masha loves homework and really do not like to be distracted.Therefore, it makes one lessons.
As you can see, here the verb do acts immediately and as a semantic, and as an auxiliary.In particular, in terms of "Masha likes to do lessons" and "That is why she does homework alone" does just sense, and in part "does not like to be disturbed" - a subsidiary.
Another example:
- "My mom likes to do shopping, but i do not, because she bies only things for her, not for me", - little Tony says to Jane.- My mom love to shop, and I - no, because it is buying things just for themselves - says little Tommy Jane.
Here, too, in terms of "My mom likes to do shopping" do - sense.Another thing is that in the translation, he does not appear in the speech.The fact that the expression "do shopping" in tune with our phrase "shopping."But in the translation often use design "go shopping".Regarding "but i do not, because she bies only things for her, not for me" do just acts as an auxiliary.
- Do you know her?She is so pretty.- You know her?She is so beautiful.
So, do / does acts as a sense of the verb in the same place and in the Russian language, we use the verb "to do".As an aid - in the negative sentences, as seen from the examples given above.Consider this point in more detail.
- Why do they walk so slowly?- I do not know, maybe they have a lot of time and do not have to hurry.- Why did they go so slow?- I do not know, maybe they have a lot of time and they do not need to hurry.
Is harmless error with auxiliary verbs?
In this case, the verb do is acting as an auxiliary in negative and interrogative sentence.Note that this verb is not possible without the right to build a negative proposal to the Present Simple, as well as ask questions.No, of course you can miss the verb do / does, but it is for the English-speaking person would sound like, "My walk in the woods, shoot protein."Like, all the words are clear, and even the meaning captured.But how seriously will perceive a man who talks like that?Will it be taken seriously and considered equal?Hardly.Our people love to laugh at immigrants who speak the language poorly.But they did not think of themselves in the eyes of the British look as ridiculous and absurd.Here we come to another important point.With the verb do is clear.
And what to do with the verb does?
Why is it needed?Why are two of them?How do know when a verb is placed?To guess, trying to get a finger to the sky?Not worth it.In English, as in any language, there is quite clearly defined rules of grammar, according to which the use of the verbs do / does clearly limited.So, does we write in the interrogative and negative sentences only if the subject can be arbitrarily assigned to the 3rd person singular.For example, in the example "That is why she does homework alone" we are talking about Masha, who likes to do homework alone.Masha - noun 3rd person singular, so here and did this thing does.In other cases, we put do.Another important point that is often overlooked.If the proposal is already does as an auxiliary verb, then to the basic semantic verb in a sentence ending s is not assigned.If the subject - a noun in the 3rd person singular, by the main verb, we add the end of the s.This will also serve as a marker of the present time.
Ask any student that the most difficult thing in the theme of "time" (well, except for their number)?Asking questions.This issue is difficult because teachers seldom give a clear and transparent scheme for constructing questions.If you once and remember it, you can put any question at any time by analogy.
So, general questions and the use of the verb do
To be clear, these are questions that can be answered yes \ no.
- auxiliary verb + subject + verb + meaning that when the + + Where?
On Present simple example it looks like this:
- Verbs Do (does) + subject + verb + meaning that when the + + Where?
That is, the auxiliary verb just comes out on top.
Special questions and suggestions with the verb do
They are built almost on the same principle.The only difference - in these areas there is the so-called question word.Further pattern repeated.
- Question word + auxiliary verb + subject + verb + meaning that when the + + Where?
or
- What / where / when + auxiliary verb + subject + verb + meaning that when the + + Where?
- What / where / when + verb do (does) + subject + verb + meaning that when the + + Where?
Moreover, such a scheme is always preserved, even if we ask banal things:
- What spice do you like?- Ginger, of course.- What spice do you like?- Of course, ginger.
- Where does your sister do her hairdo?- What do you mean?She does it yourself.- Do you really think so?- I am sure.- Where's your sister doing hairstyle?- What do you mean?She makes them herself.-Do you really think so?- I am absolutely sure.
As you can see in the above example shows, and general and specific questions.We also note that, as in the case of negative sentences, if the sentence is, the auxiliary verb does, the ending s to the main verb does not add.Because of this, an interesting picture.
Where does your sister do her hairdo?The proposal presented and do, and does.But does - helper, because we are talking about my sister, but do - sense.The fact that the English language has a stable combinations - to do smb's hairdo.It means "do hair" in any context.
verb forms do
verb to do, like all English verbs, it takes many forms.Remember that to do - it's just an infinitive.What happens with this verb, for example, in the past tense?The Past Simple changes the verb to do and takes the form of did.It - irregular verb, so no ending -ed do not add to it.It must be taught, as well as a number of other verbs of special tables.
- They were walking across the street and the mother told little Janny: "Where did you go?"- "I am not obliged to tell you everything".- "Yes, but i am your mother. I did not know anything about your things and i was verry frightened because of that".- They crossed the road, and between mother and little Jenny came the following dialogue: - Where did you go?- I do not have everything you accountable!- Yes, but I - your mother.I did not know anything about your plans, and I was very frightened.
As you can see from the example above, the past tense here indicates the auxiliary did.Parallel to this, in the same sentence to the main verb does not add any endings according to the basic rule.This is logical - why add some closure to this unfortunate verbs, if already there is a direct pointer, and for a while, and the nuances of the semantic meaning of a sentence?That is why such an error, as the addition of in the past tense endings in question seems stupid Americans and British.The same pattern is observed in negative sentences: I did not know anything about your things and i was verry frightened because of that.Specifically, part of the "did not know" vividly illustrates the rule that was dealt with above.
Here are some more examples:
- What did you want to tell me?- Is it important?You had never listened to me, so why did you ask now?I do not want to tell you anyway.- What do you want me to say?- Does it matter, because you never listened to me, so why did you ask today?In any case, I'm telling you do not want.
By analogy with the previous example of the "What did you want to tell me?"and "You had never listened to me, so why did you ask now?"It shows that there is an auxiliary verb did no end will not put.Often people confuse did as a sense and as an auxiliary verb.
What to do in order not to confuse the cases of the use of verbs do (does)?
Firstly, do not be lazy and transfer offer.Second - to teach the rules of the use of verbs and the circuits of the proposals.The teach-tretih- times.In particular, the educated person should know that if you did it cost at the beginning of sentences or near the beginning - it will be a question, then, is to appear second, meaning verb.If there is a negative piece did, it is - negative.Again, the next one should be a verb, which do not need to add anything.If it stands as it did separately, then it is necessary to translate the same way as do.
Whatever it was, it's not all forms of the verb do.Like all verbs, it has the shape of the end ing.This form is used to denote gerundive forms, and for forming groups of a long time.
- What are they doing?- Cildren are just eating.- What are they doing?- Kids just eat.
