234. Comment on the use of tenses Elizabeth: Arnold's father arrived last night. Teddie: Did he! I thought he was in Paris. Arnold: So did we all. He said he'd be there for the next month. Anne: Have you seen him? Arnold: No! He rang me up just now. Elizabeth: Did you tell him Lady Catherine was coming? Arnold: Of course not. I was surprised to know he was here. And then I thought we'd better talk it over first. Elizabeth: Is he coming along here? Arnold: Yes. He suggested it, and I Wouldn't think of any excuse to prevent him. Teddie: Couldn4 you put the other people off? Arnold: They're coming by car. They can be here any minute. It's too late to do that. Elizabeth: Besides, it would be beastly. (After S. Maugham) 235. Put the verb in brackets into the required tense L I (feel) rather poor lately, so this morning at nine I (go) to see my doctor. I (find) him alone in his waiting-room, where he (stand) surveying a pile of magazines. "All alone?" I (say). "What you (do) to your patients? You (cure) them all?" "The reason why people (not crowd) into this room now is that on Wednesday I (not begin) consultations here until half past ten. Such (be) my habit for the last twenty-five years." "I am sorry I (come) too early," I (say), "I'll go away and come back later." "Oh, no! I (prefer) early patients to late ones. In the course of my practice I (notice) that the late-comers (be) usually not serious cases. Many people (come) to a doctor for sympathy, you know. They (be) like a dog that once (come) here with a sore paw; I (bandage) it for him and while I (do) this he (look) at me with great lonely eyes. He (come) back the next day and every day until his paw (be) well. I (find) out that his master (go) away and a kindly old couple (look) after the dog. He (miss) his master and (want) special sympathy. So, although he (be) well, he (take) to coming to see me two or three times a week. He is old now but he still (come)." (After D. Clarke and M. Mackenzie) П. It (rain) all day today. I (suspect) it always (rain) on Sundays in England. Anyhow, it (rain) every Sunday since I (arrive) here three months ago. I just (begin) to get used to it but I (find) it rather monotonous! I (live) in a boarding-house in Bayswater. I (enjoy) my stay here, as I already (have) many opportunities to meet interesting people who (come) from all over the world Like me, they (study) English. Some of them (live) here for quite a long time but even they all (not speak) English very well. My friend Peter, for instance, who comes from Basle, and (come) here a year ago, still (speak) with a strong Swiss accent. He (come) here on business. Although I (be) here only three months, I (pick) up enough English to be able to correct Peter frequently, but as I (learn) English at school here, I have an unfair advantage over Peter, who is a good fellow, and (be) most helpful in showing me about London during the first weeks of my stay. (After D. Clarke and M. Mackenzie) 236. Put the verb in brackets into the Past Indefinite, the Past Continuous and the Past Perfect
(J. Galsworthy) 237. Put the verb in brackets into the Past Indefinite, the Past Perfect and the Future-in-the-Past He (look) at his watch. In a quarter of an hour he (be) due at the General Meeting of the New Colliery Company — one of Uncle Jolyon's concerns; he should see Uncle Jolyon mere, and say something to him about Bosinney — (not make) up his mind what, but something — in any case he should not answer this letter until he (see) Uncle Jolyon. He (get) up and methodically (put) away the draft of his defence. Going into a dark little cupboard, he (turn) up the light, (wash) his hands with a piece of brown Windsor soap, and (dry) them on a roller towel. Then he (brash) his hair, (turn) down the light, (take) his hat, and saying he (be) back at half past two, (leave) the house. (After J. Galsworthy) Elsie lives in Oxford. She’s quite tall, with grey hair, green eyes and a big nose. She’s 70, but she looks a lot younger. When she was a child she lived in a small village in the country not far from Oxford, with her brother Joe and her sister Betty. Her mother was a difficult woman with a very strong, hard personality: her father was a quiet man, completely dominated by his wife. After Elsie left school she studied to be a nurse, but she didn’t finish her studies because she got married. She and her husband went to live in London. However, London was a dangerous place because of the war, and shortly after her first child was born they moved to the country. Elsie is a very lovely woman, and she is the most talkative person I know. She lakes music, dancing and making jewellery. She is also a fanatical gardener, and she has a wonderful garden full of beautiful roses and a variety of other flowers. She lives alone with her cat, whose name is Simon, but she spends a lot of time visiting her grandchildren. WARNING When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter. I shall sit down on pavement when I’m tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick up flowers in other people’s gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay the rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple. Текст на Past Simple. Getting around the city was easy because there were plenty of buses and trams and they nearly always ran on time. But when we went up to the skiing resort, it took us ages to get there because the roads were quite narrow and there were some awful jams. But it was worth it. The place was just fabulous; there were snow-covered picks all around us, and the views were spectacular. Our chalet was also quite spacious, and it had an excellent fitted kitchen and modern bath room. However, the bed wasn’t the most comfortable in the world, and we both felt that the sofa and armchairs did not encourage relaxation at the end of a day’s skiing. And for beginners, we did quite well. Not as well as some of the children, of course. They picked it up so easily, and by the end of the holiday were incredibly good. Anyway, we hired the skis and all the other stuff – it cost a fortune as you predicted – and had some lessons from a very nice instructor. He was very patient with everyone and we were astonished at the way some people blamed him every time they fell over. It was stupid of them and quite unnecessary. We were on the slopes all day and very lucky that it was cold and sunny most of the time – ideal for skiing. The travel agency had suggested going this time of year, and in our case they were absolutely right. SIMPLE PRESENT, PRESENT CONTINUOUS 1. Choose the right tense.
