The Present Indefinite Tense

 

       Введение основного значения Present Indefinite можно начать с беседы учителя и знакомства со следующей таблицей:

 

Present Continuous	Present Indefinite
Now            I am running now	Always, usually, often, every day               I run every day

 

       Затем учитель может предложить учащимся выполнение физических действий, комментируя их и сопоставляя употреб­ление Present Continuous с Present Indefinite:

Nick, sit down with Kate, please.

Look, Nick is sitting with Kate now. But he usually sits with Pete. He always sits with Pete. Does Nick usually sit with Kate? No, he does not. He usually sits with Pete. But now he is sitting with Kate. And who does Kate usually sit with? Kate usually sits with Ann.

       Целесообразно проиллюстрировать употребление Present In­definite употреблением его в тексте. Можно предложить уча­щимся выполнить такое упражнение:

Прослушайте рассказ о рабочем дне Алека и объясните, почему употребляется форма Present Indefinite.

       «Alec usually gets up at 7 o'clock. He opens the window and does his morning exercises. He washes his face and hands. Then he dresses and has his breakfast. After breakfast he puts his books into his bag. At half past seven he goes to school.»

       Затем учащимся предлагаются упражнения на различение случаев употребления настоящего неопределенного и настояще­го продолженного времен в английской речи:

1. Прослушайте описание ситуаций на русском языке и скажите, какое время — Present Indefinite или Present Continuous — употре­бил бы в них англичанин:

1).Петя очень хорошо плавает. Вот он плывет по третьей дорожке)

2). —Как мывысоко летим! — воскликнула маленькая Наташа, выглянув в иллюминатор.

— Да, наши самолеты летают высоко,— ответил папа.

2. Прослушайте два предложения и  скажите, в каком из них действие происходит в момент речи.

Образец: I speak English at English lessons. Now I am speaking English too.

3. Прослушайте пары английских предложений и повторите те, перевод которых дан на карточках.

Образец: My brother draws well.

My brother is drawing now.

4. Объясните употребление времен в следующих предложениях. Образец: She swims well. But she isn't swimming now, etc.

       Учитель делает резюме:

«Для того, чтобы выразить действие, происходящее обычно, еже­дневно, необходимо употребить настоящее неопределенное время The Present Indefinite Tense.»

Для тренировки Present Indefinite в устной речи учащихся можно использовать следующую серию упражнений:

1. Повторите следующие предложения, обращая внимание на инто­нацию общего и специального вопросов.

The Present Perfect Tense

 

       Ознакомление с видо-временной формой The Present Perfect Tense учитель начинает с беседы:

       «Сегодня мы будем говорить о событиях, происшедших до настоя­щего момента в вашей жизни, жизни вашего класса и школы. Но для этого необходимо изучить новую для вас грамматическую форму The Present Perfect Tense...»

       Создав необходимую мотивационную готовность к усвоению данной грамматической структуры, учитель демонстрирует ее употребление в различных высказываниях типа:

       This is Ann's exercise-book. She has written the test without any mistakes. Ann has learned the topic well. She has worked at English hard. She has got an excellent mark. Here it is.

And look at this picture, please. Can you guess who has drawn it? Yes, Sasha has drawn the picture. It's really nice. Sasha has learned to draw well. He can become an artist.

       Контроль понимания значения Present Perfect осущест­вляется учителем в ходе формулирования правила с помощью наводящих вопросов:

1. Какие события, совершившиеся к моменту речи или вообще в прошлом, передает форма Present Perfect?

2. С какой целью употребляется Present Perfect: чтобы обратить внимание собеседника на возможность самого события или на время его совершения?

       Форму Present Perfect следует раскрывать как систему значимых единиц, элементов языкового сообщения посредством сопоставления и противопоставления формообразования Pre­sent Indefinite, Present Continuous, Present Perfect.

       Вопросительная и отрицательная формы вводятся методом сравнения.

Сравните следующие предложения и скажите, как образуются вопросительная и отрицательная формы настоящего совершенного времени:

1. They have finished their work. Have they finished their work? Yes, they have. No, they have not. What have they finished?

2. Nick has explained a new rule to Ann. Has  Nick explained a new rule to Ann? What has Nick explained  to Ann? What has Nick done? Who has explained a new rule to Ann?

       После фонетической отработки форм глагола to have и Past Participle, необходимых для урока правильных и неправильных глаголов, следует перейти к языковым и условно-речевым упражнениям со зрительной опорой на грамматическую таблицу.

       Для закрепления Present Perfect в устной речи уча­щихся используется серия упражнений:

The Past Indefinite Tense

 

       Ознакомление с Past Indefinite Tense необходимо начи­нать с раскрытия его инвариантного значения в сопоставлении с прошедшим временем русского глагола и Present Perfect. Для этого во вводной беседе с учащимися повторяется форма The Present Perfect Tense и предъявляются речевые ситуации, с помощью которых раскрывается основное значение The Past Indefinite Tense. Завершается ознакомление с новой временной формой сравнением случаев употребления Present Perfect и Past Indefinite:

       I see, you are good pupils. You have got ready for the lessons to­day. You have done your homework, haven't you? Have you brought your books, exercise-books and vocabularies? Now, let's discuss what useful things we have done this week and we are going to do. As for me, I have read the English book «Key to the Door» by A. Sillitoe and I am going to read his other books. And what about you?

Now listen to the following situations and try to understand what I say.

a) Look at the picture and listen to what John did yesterday morning: John often gets up early and he got up early yesterday. He opened the window, did his morning exercises, made his bed, washed his face and hands. He had breakfast. He did not wash all the dishes. He washed only some of them. He did not have very much time this morning.

b) P., stand up, please. Come to the blackboard, take a piece of chalk, write a word, and go to your seat. Sit down, please... Some seconds ago Peter stood up, came to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, wrote a word and then went to his seat.

       Для того чтобы не было ложной ассоциации с Present Perfect, последнее действие (Не sat down) не комментируется совсем.

c) And now listen to what I did yesterday morning.

Yesterday I got up at 7 o'clock. I did my morning exercises. After that I went to the bathroom. There I brushed my teeth and washed my face and hands.

Did I get up at 7 o'clock? Yes, I did.

Did I get up at 9 o'clock? No, I didn't.

I got up at 7 o'clock, didn't I?

Did I get up at 7 or 9 o'clock?

I got up at 7 o'clock.

Чтобы сопоставление было убедительным, целесообразно об­ратиться к таблице:

 

Present Perfect	Past Indefinite
I have cleaned my room     The room is clean now	I cleaned my room            It was yesterday

     

   Ознакомив учащихся с таблицей, можно предложить им про­читать предложения из таблицы и перевести их; прослушать пары предложений и указать те, в которых говорится о действии, имевшем место в прошлом, и предложения, в которых речь идет о действии, совершившемся к моменту речи, и т. д.

    Когда упражнения выполнены учащимися, учитель делает ре­зюме:

«Таким образом, если нужно рассказать о событиях, которые уже совершились, и при этом необходимо подчеркнуть их важность, в английском языке используется форма Present Perfect; если же говорящего больше интересует само событие и время его совершения, то употребляется форма Past Indefinite.»

    Для тренировки Past Indefinite в речи учащимся мож­но предложить упражнения типа:

1. Form Past Indefinite from the following verbs: bring, begin, do, go, meet, read, write, speak, tell, say.

«Did the train get into London on time?»

«No, it didn't. It was late again!»

b) a good time              e) train on time

c) When / old friend
