Грамматика английского языка для школьников Cборник упражнений. Книга II

Дорогие мальчики и девочки!

Вот и опять мы с вами встретились на страницах нашего пособия. В прошлой книге вы узнали о глаголах “to be”, “to have”, о грамматических временах Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense, Present Progressive (Continuous) Tense и о конструкции “there is (are)”.

Я надеюсь, что вы выполнили все упражнения, и это не вызвало у вас больших трудностей. Вот так шаг за шагом мы с вами будем путешествовать по стране знаний под названием «Английская грамматика». Не всегда наше путешествие будет лёгким. Как у всех путешественников, на нашем пути будут встречаться трудности, но мы обязательно их преодолеем. Первый шаг вы уже сделали, а теперь нам предстоит сделать второй, более сложный.

В этой книге вы познакомитесь с новыми грамматическими временами. Как я уже говорила, эта книга – продолжение предыдущего сборника. Если вы хорошо поработали ранее, то у вас не вызовут затруднений упражнения из этой книги.

А мои советы вам остаются прежними: делайте обязательно все упражнения, работайте ежедневно и прочитывайте написанное вслух.

Я убеждена, что вы трудолюбивые и умные ученики.

Я верю в ваш успех!
