Безличные и неопределенно-личные предложения
Английские предложения отличаются от русских тем, что в них всегда есть подлежащее и сказуемое. Поэтому в безличных предложениях в качестве формального подлежащего используется местоимение it:
It is cold today. – Сегодня холодно. It rains. – Идет дождь. It's nice to meet you.
Приятно познакомиться. – It is nine o'clock now. – Сейчас девять часов. Вопросительная и отрицательная формы безличных предложений
образуются по тем же правилам, что и вопросительные и отрицательные формы предложений с именным составным сказуемым. Частица not ставится после первого вспомогательного глагола.
Например: Is it cold today? – Сегодня холодно? It wasn't interesting. – Это было не интересно. Isn't it funny? – Разве это не смешно?
Оборот there is / there are
Оборот there is / there are служит для выражения наличия (отсутствия) какого-либо предмета в определенном месте или в определенное время. Выбор формы глагола to be зависит от числа существительного, следующего сразу за ним: There is a chair and two armchairs in the room. There are two armchairs and a chair in the room.
Вопросительные предложения с оборотом there is / there are строятся следующим образом:
Общий вопрос: Is there anything in the bag? Will there be classes tomorrow? Специальный вопрос: What is there in the bag?

РАЗДЕЛ № 2
Задание 1. Повторите грамматические правила
По способу образования прошедшего времени все глаголы в английском языке можно разделить на две группы: правильные и неправильные (regular and irregular verbs). У правильных глаголов вторая и третья формы (Past Indefinite Tense и Past Participle – простое прошедшее время и причастие прошедшего времени) совпадают между собой и образуются путем прибав-
ления к основе глагола окончания -ed (-d): to ask – asked, to change – changed, to receive – received, to work– worked. При этом существует ряд особенностей:
а) если глагол оканчивается на -у с предшествующей согласной, то буква у меняется на i и добавляется окончание -ed: to supply – supplied, to apply – applied; б) если глагол оканчивается на -у с предшествующей гласной, то буква у не меняется и добавляется окончание -ed: to stay – stayed, to play — played;
в) если глагол оканчивается на согласную с предшествующим кратким гласным звуком, то согласная на конце удваивается: to stop – stopped.
Неправильные глаголы образуют вторую и третью формы различными способами, без четких правил. Это наиболее часто употребляемые глаголы.
