Imperative Mood expresses a command or request. On Modern English the
Imperative Mood has only one form which coincides with the infinitive without
the particle to: it is used in the second person (singular and plural)

и
послушай,
что
я
тебе
говорю.
Please put the papers on the table near the bed.- Пожалуйста,
положи
книгу
на
стол
у
кровати.
In forming the negative the auxiliary verb to do is always used, even with the
verb to be.
Hush! Don’t make a noise! – Тиши не
шуми!
Don’t be angry…- Не сердись.

Unit VI
The Present Continuous Tense
I. The Present Continuous Tense is formed by means of the verb to be in
appropriate form + Participle I of the notional verb.
The formulae is as follows: am, is, are + Ving.
e. g.: I am writing an exercise now.
For the interrogative form the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject.
For the negative form the particle not is added after the auxiliary verb.
e. g.: Are you writing an exercise?
I am not writing an exercise.
II. The Present Continuous Tense is used:
1. To denote an action in progress, duration at the definite present moment.
e.g.: What are you doing now? I am writing a report.
The Present Continuous Tense occurs in speech more often than the Present Simple Tense:
e.g.: Do you read this book? - is used less frequently than
Are you reading a book?
Certain verbs are usually not used in the Continuous Tenses.
They are: be, have, appear, believe, become, expect, feel, forget, understand,
remember, love, suppose, appear, need, taste, smell, want.
Sometimes they are found in the Continuous Tenses, if they have certain colour in meaning:
e. g.: How are you feeling? (in the medical sense).
How are you liking it? (in the meaning of “enjoy”)
I’m seeing yon tomorrow. (=I shall visit you tomorrow.)
He is expecting the news today (in the meaning of “await”).
Are you hearing from him (in the meaning of “having the news”).
I am thinking it over (someone asks about my opinion ).
2. To denote one`s plans in the nearest future (the time of action must always be mentioned).
e.g. : Are you doing anything special tonight? Yes , I am going to the
Student`s Club.
3. Instead of a future action in duration in adverbial clauses of condition of
condition and time. E.g.: If he is smoking when I am absent, I shall blame
him.
Mind : the Present Continuous Tense is never used with the question
word when , except when the immediate future is to be
expressed.
4. To denote an activity about a period around the present.
For instance : today, this season etc.
e.g.: you are working hard today. Yes , I have a lot to do. Tom ins`t playing tennis this season. He wants to concentrate on his studies.
5. To denote the changing situations. E.g.: The population of the world is rising
very fast.

Unit VII
The Past Simple Tense
The Past Simple Tense formed by adding –ed or –d to the stem (for the regular verbs), or by changing the hoot vowel or in some other ways (irregular verbs).
The pronunciation of – ed (-d) depends on the sound preceding it.
It is pronounced:
1. [id] after t, d: wanted, landed, ended, started.
2. [d] after voiced consonants except d and after vowel: opened, planned, stayed, played.
3. [t] after voiceless consonants except t: worked, cooked, pipped.
The following spelling rules should be observed:
1. Final y is changed into i if it is preceded by a consonant.
to carry – carried
to reply – replied
2. If a verb ends in a consonant preceded by a shot stressed vowel, the final consonant is doubled.
to stop – stopped
to plan – planned
to sod – sobbed
to submit – submitted
3. Final r is not doubled when it is preceded by a diphthong.
to occur – occurred
to prefer – preferred
to refer – referred
4. Final r is not doubled when it is preceded by z diphthong.
to appear – appeared
The Simple Past is used:
1. To denote an action which happened at a specific time in the past. It is cut off from the present. The time of action may be indicated by adverbials of past time, such as yesterday, a week ago, last year, the day before yesterday etc. E. g. : The police, stopped John on his way home last night.
2. To denote a succession of past action, especially in telling the story. E. g.: There was once a man who lived in a small town in the country. One day he left his house and went into town. On the way he met…
The interrogative and negative form of the Past Simple are produced with the help of form the auxiliary verb do in the form of the Past Simple did. E. g.: We did not see them yesterday. Did you understand him last time?

UNIT VIII
The Past Continuous Tense
The
Past Continuous Tense is formed by means of the auxiliary verb to be ( in the
second form) was/were and the 4th form ( Present Participle) of the
notional verb.
The formula is as follows:
was/were + V4(ing)
E. g. : The birds were singing the whole night long.
The negative and interrogative form is made by means of the auxiliary
verb was/were:
E. g. : What were
you doing at this time yesterday? I wasn’t looking at her while she was
washing herself.
The Past Continuous is used:
1. To denote an action which was going on at a definite moment in
the past
E . g.: Yesterday
at this time we were crossing the Channel.
The definite moment sometimes is not expressed but understood from the
situation:
E. g. : He did not
notice what was going on around here - he was reading.
2. To denote the action which was in the process for some period of
time in the
past, indicated by the prepositions from… till; from … up to, or after
phrases as the whole day, all day long.
E. g.: The girls were
dancing all ninth long.
3. To denote an action thought of as a continual process. In this case
the adverbs
always, ever constantly are used. In this use the Past Continuous is often to be
found in emotional speech.
E.g.: She was
constantly complaining of being lonely.
4. We often use the Past Continuous and the past simple together to show:
a) That something happened in the middle of something else.
E.g. : Tom burnt his hand when he was cooking the dinner.
b) some action, which was process was interrupted by the beginning of
another
action.
E.g. : We were
having dinner when the telephone called.
5. To denote two parallel actions in the past being in process.
E.g.: I was sveaping the floor while Ann was washing dishes.

Unit IX
The Future Simple Tense
The Future Simple is formed with the help of the auxiliary verbs shall and will. Shall is used with the first person singular and plural: I shall, we shall. With the rest of the persons will is used.
E.g.: you
he
she will come next time.
it
they
I shall come to your place in two days.
Nowadays there’s a tendency in Modern English to use will for all the persons. But shall still remains in the questions expressing offer or invitation. E.g. :Shall I help you ? Shall we join the group ?
Besides in the formal situations (such as writing business letters ) I will and we will is avoided. Shall is more preferable here.
In normal spoken English there’s a contraction to ‘ll, so distinction between shall and will in this case is unimportant.
E. g.: They ‘ll have to start all over again next week.
Contracted negative forms are: shall – shan’t
will – won’t
There are different ways to express the future reference besides shall and will.
1. The Present Continuous and the form be going to + the base form is used to express the prearranged future action .
E. g.: He failed his exam last year; this year he is going to work harder. You’d better take the washing in: it’s going to rain. I’m leaving for Glasgow on Friday.
2. The Present Simple is used with a time adverb to talk about future plans which are part of a timetable, schedule, programme or previous arrangenent.
E. g.: I’m sorry I can’t stop and chart; I’m just about to leave for work. (every day routine). The train starts at midnight. (according to the timetable).
Will on the other hand is used to express either inevitable future action which doesn’t depend on person’s desire.
E. g.: He will be sixty next year;
or spontaneous intention for the future action:
E.g.: Fred has fallen ill. Has he? I didn’t kwon. I will call him at once; or prediction. E. g.: You will enjoy the party.
