Приветствую, мой дорогой читатель.

Помните, что я все время повторяю: практика, практика и только практика! Если вы уже знаете , то могу вас поздравить - мы переходим на следующие уровень - «Past Continuous: упражнения» !

Сегодня нас с вами ждет подборка самых интересных и полезных упражнений с ответами, которые помогут вам быстро усвоить правило по теме. Садитесь поудобнее, берите листик с ручной и начинайте практиковаться онлайн прямо сейчас.

Подружиться с английской грамматикой можно только с помощью тестов и заданий различных видов. Именно этот способ поможет материалу не просто запомниться, а впитаться в вашу память. Какие упражнения эффективны для понимания Past Continuous?

Существуют тысячи различных способов отработки прошедшего продолженного времени. Но все упражнения на past continuous можно разделить на несколько условных групп.

• В первую очередь необходимо отработать особенности образования. Здесь эффективны упражнения и на подстановку нужных вспомогательных глаголов, выбор из предложенных вариантов. Помните, что при добавлении окончания -ing, все же есть некоторые исключения, которые не менее важно запомнить.

• В группе Progressive или Continuous есть как прошедшее, так и настоящее, и будущее времена. Несмотря на огромные различия, указатели очень похожи, порой даже одинаковы. В упражнениях на определение Past, Present или Future важно обращать внимание на все «сигнальные» слова-подсказки.

• Особое затруднение всегда вызывают упражнения на сравнение Past Simple, Past Perfect Continuous и Past Progressive . Ведь порой так сложно определить, какое из действий длится, а где сообщается факт. Ваш лексический запас, ваше умение грамотно переводить и видеть контекст здесь очень пригодится.

• Если вы уже разобрались со всем этим, научились видеть это время в тексте, анализировать, значит, вы с лёгкостью сможете и понимать структуру, и выбирать нужную форму среди других временных отрезков. Пора переходить к более сложным заданиям — переводу упражнений на Past Continuous . А именно, учиться сопоставлять русский и английский текст, правильно переводить предложения, строить самостоятельные рассказы по опорным словам.

• Ну, а если, вы совсем далеко зашли, и весь активный залог уже осмыслен, то пора переходить к страдательному.
