THE NOUN

Имя существительное

Существительное-это часть речи, отвечающая на вопросы: кто? что? и обозначающая лицо, предмет или явление. Существительные могут быть исчисляемыми ( для которых применим счёт, а потому имеют форму множественного числа a tree – trees; a book – books ) и неисчисляемыми ( которые нельзя посчитать 1, 2, 3… и не имеют формы множественного числа gold, time, blood, food ).

В английском языке имя существительное обладает следующими категориями:

1) Род (gender)22
  Рода, как грамматической категории, в английском языке у существительных нет. Род может передаваться в лексическом значении слова, а морфологических показателей нет, за некоторым исключением: poet – poetess, lion – lioness, wait – waitress etc.


[Закрыть]

2) Число (number)

3) Падеж (case)

Понятие о роде

В современном английском языке род представляет собой понятие смысловое: все существительные, обозначающие людей, принадлежат к мужскому роду ( если относятся к мужскому полу) и могут заменяться местоимением he ; а также, к женскому роду ( если относятся к женскому полу) и заменяются местоимением she. Все неодушевлённые предметы, явления и процессы относятся к среднему роду и могут заменяться местоимением it. Помимо названий предметов, к среднему роду в английском языке относят и категорию животных, но в современной устной практике местоимение it часто заменяют местоимениями he или she ( если животное вам хорошо известно или является героем сказки, либо текст относится к теме животноводства ).

Exercise 2. Use the pronouns: he, she, it.

1) I have a cat. … has two kittens. 2) My pen is new. … is red. 3) Our dean’s name is Mr. Brown. … conducts lectures on biology. 4) I like Ann. … studies with me. 5) Russia is a big country. … covers Europe and Asia. 6) Usually a cow has one calf. … feeds … for several weeks. 7) A dog is one of the first domesticated animals. … helped man in hunting. 8) Don’t take my book. I need … 9) Lily is my sister’s little daughter. … is one month.

Exercise 3. Replace the underlined nouns by the corresponding personal pronouns. Sometimes two variants are possible.

1) Our dean shows new equipment. 2) English is not a very difficult subject. 3) My cat likes fish very much. 4) Boris is a student of the economic faculty. 5) His car is red. 6) Olga wants to be a doctor. 7) England has a mild climate. 8) Our practice will be very interesting. 9) A dog is a friendly animal.

Число имён существительных

Большинство имён существительных английского языка образуют форму множественного числа с помощью добавления окончания -s, – es к основе единственного числа. E.g.

a book – books [s]

a student – students [s]

a class – classes [iz]

a bag – bags [z]

a match – matches [iz]

Если слово оканчивается на - f или -fe, то f меняется на -ve +s.

E.g. a wife – wives [z] a leaf – leaves [z]

Если слово оканчивается на согласную + y, то y меняется на i+es.

E.g. a country – countries [iz]

Некоторые существительные употребляются только во множественном числе: E.g. contents ( содержание ) , clothes ( одежда ) , proceeds ( выручка ) , arms ( оружие ) , stairs ( лестница ) , riches ( богатство ).

Существительные, не имеющие формы единственного числа, употребляются с глаголами только во множественном числе:

cattle ( КРС ) , poultry ( домашняя птица ), binoculars ( бинокль ), scissors (ножницы ).

E.g. Where are the scissors? I can’t find them.

У слов: means, series, species форма множественного, и единственного числа совпадают. E.g. a means of transport – many means of transport; a species – 500 species of birds, a TV series – five TV series.

В английском языке есть существительные, которые сохранили древнеанглийский способ образования множественного числа. Их нужно запомнить:

a man – men

a woman – women

a child – children

a mouse – mice

a foot – feet

a goose – geese

a tooth – teeth

an ox – oxen

Некоторые слова латинского происхождения имеют особую форму множественного числа:

datum – data

basis – bases

crisis – crises

Обратите внимание на употребление следующих существительных:

Exercise 4. Give the plural form of the nouns.

A book, a table, a sister, a lecture, a fly, a boy, a hobby, a person, a mouse, a scarf, a class, a woman, a knife, a crisis, a species, a county, a pen, a foot, a leaf, a fox.

Exercise 5. Choose the correct form of the verb.

1) The trousers ( doesn’t / don’t) fit me. 2) Physics ( is / are) my favourite subject. 3) Fortunately the news ( is / are) not bad. 4) The police ( is / are) in time. 5) The TV series ( is / are) not interesting today. 6) Government (is/ are) a state institution. 7) The suburbs of our town ( have / has) many old houses.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

Указательные местоимения

Иногда существительным сопутствуют указательные местоимения. Они также имеют формы единственного и множественного числа.

This ( этот, эта, это) – these ( эти)

That ( тот, та, то) – those ( те)

E.g. This is my book.

These are your parents.

That is our house.

Those are your staff.

Падеж имён существительных

Имена существительные в английском языке имеют два падежа: общий ( common case) и притяжательный ( possessive case ). Притяжательный падеж отвечает на вопрос: Чей? ( whose?) Притяжательный падеж можно образовать двумя способами: 1) с помощью апострофа; 2) с помощью предлога of

Exercise 6. Make up phrases after the model.

Model: library / academy – the library of the academy Mother / Ann – Ann’s mother The camera / Tom, the eyes / the cat, the top / the page, the sister / my friend, the daughter / Candy, the toys / the children, the name / your wife, the name / this street, exams / my brother, the new manager / the company, the result / the football match, the birthday / my father, the farm / my uncle, the garden / our neighbours, the ground floor / the building, the policy / the government.

Существительное в роли определения

В английском языке одно или несколько существительных могут выполнять функцию определения к другому существительному. В такой « цепочке» последнее существительное будет отвечать на вопросы: кто? что? Все предыдущие существительные являются определением к нему и отвечают на вопросы: какой? чей?

E.g. sugar beet – сахарная свёкла; beet sugar – свекольный сахар

soil conservation practices – мероприятия по сохранению почвы

Philip Stanley’s House

Philip Stanley is proud of his house. It is not very large, but it is very comfortable and well-planned. Any Englishman likes to live in a two-storey detached house. So does Philip. He prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats, because he doesn’t wish his doing to be overlooked (to overlook – подсматривать, заглядывать) by his neighbours.

In front of the house there is a green lawn and a lot of flowers. Behind it there is an orchard with some fruit trees in it. Mrs Stanley is fond of flowers and trees. She often spends her spare time there. On the north side of the house there is a garage.

On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a pantry, a dining-room, a sitting-room and Philip’s study. On the first floor or upstairs you can find two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The furniture is modern and new. The windows are large. The family like to meet in the sitting-room in front of the fire-place. Philip has to pay a lot of money for the house before he can call it his own.

Text 2

There’s No Place Like Home

About 64 % of the British population live in houses or flats that they own or are buying in instalments (покупают в рассрочку). Most other people live in council accomodation, about 10 % rent from private landlords. People buying their property almost always pay for it with a special loan called a mortgage, which they must repay, with interest (с процентами), over a long period of time, usually 25 years.

There are three main types of houses in Britain:

terraced – several houses, usually two-storey, joined together in a row or terrace;

semi-detached – a pair of houses joined together;

detached – a single house, completely separate from any other.

This house is over 600 years old.

A big problem in England is the rising cost of houses.

The lives of most Americans revolve around their homes and houses. The percentage of Americans owning the houses (and apartments) they live in is the highest among western nations. Most Americans still live in “single-family dwellings,” that is, houses which usually have a front and backyard. Contrary to a common belief, only about 5 percent of all Americans live in mobile homes. Most of America has a more or less four-season climate, and the rhythms of life around the house tend to follow the seasons. There is always something that needs to be done around the house, and most Americans do it themselves.

Average house price: £184,924

Exercise 4. Divide the text into logical parts and give information of each one.

Use: I think this text should be divided into … logical parts. The 1^st (2^nd, 3d …) part informs the reader (is about… is devoted to …) the main thought (sentence) of it is … It is interesting that …
