Ova kratka gramatika namijenjena jc prijc svcga studcntima engleskog jezika,
studentima na drugim fakultctima i ucenicima srednjih skola. Tokol1l dugogodisnjcg i
ncposrcdnog rada sa ve!ikil1l brojem uccnika u Bosni i Hercegovini na osnovnoskolskom,

prcdstavljaju najvecc poteSkoce.
U SV0111 melu autor .le, u svojstvu s3vjetnika Z3 nastavll cnglcskog i njcmackog
jezika, imao mogucnost i obavezu prcporuciti rad velikog broja nastavni!ca i profesora
englcskogjezika, pratiti i registrirati, njihova iskustva i teskocc, pronnlaziti l:jcScnja za
takvc teSkoce i preporuciti postupke kojima cc sc postizati bolji nastavni rezultati.
To je, svakako, imalo utieaja n3 opredjeljenja i prakticna ljescnja U ovoj knjizi.
Vjerujern dn cc knjiga biti od pomoci i svim drugima koji sc, iz profcsionalnih
i drugih razloga, opredjeljuju da prcciznije upoznaju nacin funkcionisanja engJeskog

lzvodi iz recenzija
Prof. dr. Mustafa Tanovic napisao je udibenik koji je nazvao Grarnatika
cngleskog jezika, koji je, kako Sam kaie U 8vom predgovoru , namijenio studentima
engleskog jezika, studentima drugih stlldijskih grupa, ali i lIcenicima srednjih 5ko1a.
Udibenik Gr:uuatika engleskog Jezika sastoji se ad 9 pogJavlja ad kojih su najobimnija
pogJavlje 0 glagolima i pogJavlje 0 imenicama. Svako poglavlje sadrii niz vjezbanja
koja Sll vezana za tematiku pogJavJja. Takocler, svako pogJavlje i potpoglavJje sadrzi
veliki broj primjera koji stlldentu trcbaju pomoci cia 5to bkse zapamti kontekst za kaji
se veze konkretna forma. To je znacajna vrijednost ave knjige. Isto tako vrijedno je
ista61 i prisllstvo napomena u tekstu svakog pogJavlja iIi potpogJavlja, kojc Sll posebnim
fontom odvojene od drllgog dUcla teksta kojem pripadaju. Na tl.lj na6in student u tim
napomenama dobija korisnll informaciju koja se ticc neke vaine osobenosti pojave koja
se obradllje.
Ovakve knjige uvijek su dobrodosle jer poz,nata nedovoljnost ponllcie akademskih
udzbenika, narocito na polju anglisticke lingvistike, i stoga ova knjiga zasluzuje da
bude stall1pana.

This is a good basic compilation artlle essential rules of grammar of EngJish explained
in Bosnian, J intend to use it for first~year students of English at Mastar University. The
university student of English needs til is overall picture of the tricks of grammar. Then,
she or he can begin to put to good use any oCthe many availnble grammars and advanced
textbooks written in English.

I GLAGOLSKA VREMENA U ENGLESKOM JEZIKU

Gmmatika engfeskog jez.ika

Jedan od najtczih problema sa koj im sc stalno suocavaju nasi studenti .Ie pravilna
upotrcba gJagolskih vremena u englcskomjeziku. Razlozi za to su formalni i sustinski.
U engleskom postoji i fonnalno mnogo vise vrcmena nego u bosanskomjeziku. Mi smo
uglavnol11 naviknuti na cetiri vremena: prczent. fulur, pluskvamperfekt. Ovaj posljednji
kod nas je rijetko u upotrebi, pa se nase prcdstavc svode uglavnom l1a tri vremena.
Nasuprot tome, u cngleskom jeziku postoji scst Vremena aktiva i scst vremena pasiva:

I. THE PRESENT TENSE,

2. THE PAST TENSE,
3. THE FUTURE TENSE,
4. THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE,
5. THE PAST PERFECT TENSE,
6. THE FUTURE PERFECT TENSE.
Ovoj cinjenici treba dodati pociatak da spomenuta engJcska vremena itnaju dva aspekta:
tzv. simple aspect i progressive (coninuous) aspect. ImajuCi 1I viclu tu cinjenicll cia za
sest vremena aktiva imamo dvanaest razlicitih glagolskih oblilul i osam oblika pasiva,
zatimjos dcsetak razlicizih glagoisldh mogncnosti za iskazivanjc vrcrncna, dolazimo
do L1ntasticne konstatacije cia mi pri upotrcbi engleskih glagolskih vrcmena 111ora1110
nasc predstave 0 tri (cetiri) vremcna mijenjati prema zahtjevima engleskog jezika u
kome, eto, imaju bar tridcsct i dvi,ie razlicite gJagolske forme aktiva i pasiva koje
moramo prirnjcnjiv<lti u proccsu komunicirar~ja na engleskomjeziku, narocito u procest!
pismenog komuniciranja.
No, spol1lenuta cinjenica preclstavlja manji clio problema za nase studente ,ier se ta
fonnalna obiljcija, ipak, mogu nalleiti rclativno brzo. Tei,i dio problema sustinske je
sem.mticke prirodc. Naime, postoje brojna pravila koja na!azu k<1c1a se koji glagolski
oblici za razlicita vremcna moraju Llpotrijcbiti, kacla sc neki glagolski oblici ne mogu
upotrijebiti 11 datom kontekstu i situaciji bez rizika da doc1e do ozbiljnijih nesporazuma,
nerazumjevanja, a postoje i okolnosti u kojim<l je izbor ocigovarajuccg glagolskog
vrcmena stvar intcrpretacije kontcksta.
Eto zasto je pravilna upotreba glagolskih vremena cngleskomjeziku kamen spoticanja,
tj. izuzetno veliki problem za govornikc bosanskogjczika.
Pored spomenutih vremena postoji jos odrc(1cn broj glagolskih ob!ika koji ~ strogo
govorcci - nisu glagolska vremena iako se i POITIOCU njih moze izraziti vrijemc: cetiri
gerunda, pet razlicitih participa, sest infinitiva ( mi imamo same jedan infinitiv), 1'azni
idiomatski iZ1'azi itd. Sve to posebni su glagolski oblici koji usloznjavaju ionako slozenu

II

i drugih glagolskih oblika koji sc bitno - formalno

i sustinski - razlikuju od nasih jczickih sredstava za iskazivanje tri vremenska okvira:
sndasnjost, pros!ost j buducnost. Ovdjc treba 1111ati u vidu tri cnglcska nacina (illdilultiV,
kOl1juktiv i imperativ), dva kondicional<l (koudicional sadasnji i kondicioual proIi),
j slojevitu strukturll engleskih vremena

te.skocc oko slaganja vremen<l, upotrcbe if - recenica, direktnog i indirektnog govora

itd.
Jpak, najvece potdkoce prccistavlja pravilno iskazivanjc triju osnovnih vremenskih
pOJl11ova sad~lsnjosti, prosIosti i buduclIosti za sta sc koristi iZl"azito vcllki broj
razlicitih gJagolskih oblika.

Sadasnjost u cnglcskomjeziku moz,c se 1zmz!!! upotrebomjcdnog ad sUedccih glagolskih

vremena.
I.The Progressive (Continuous}Present Tense,
2.The Simple Present Tense,
3.The Progressive Present Perfect "fensc,
4.The Simple Present Perfect Tense,
5.The Simple Prescnt Tense Passive,
6.The Progressive Present Tense Passive.

Prosiost se maze iskazati upotrebom ovih glagolskih oblika:

I.The Simple Present Perfect Tense,
2.The Progressive Present Perfect Tense,
3.The Historic (Dramatic) Present,

4.The Simple Past Tense,

5. The Progressive Past Tense,
6.The Simple Past Perfect Tense,
7.The Progressive Past Perfect Tense,
8.Used to + Inilnitive,
9.WOllld + Infinitive,

10.Participies,
II.Having + Past Participle i Having been + Past Participle,
12.Being + Past Participle,
13.Thc Simple Present Perfect Tense Passive,
14.The Simple Past Tense Passive,
IS.The Progressive Past Tense Passive,
16.The Simple Past Perfect Tense Passive.

BdUCl10st se moze iskazati upotrebom ovih glagolskih oblika:

I.The Simple Future Tense,
2.The Progressive Future Tense,
3.The Simple Future in the Past,
4. The Progressive Future in the Past,
5.The Future Perfect Tense,

6.The Simple Present Tense,

7.The Progressive Present Tense,
8.Going to + Infinitive,
9.To be about to + Infinitive i to be to + Infinitive.
1O.Future Tense Passive.

lzbor pravog naCina za iskazivnnje sadasnjosti, proslost'i i buciucilosti II datom kontekstu

inn semanticka a ne forma Ina obiljezja. Taj prayi izborje narocito vazan II akademskom
sluzenju engleskim jezikol11, mnogo vazniji nego pri llobicajcnoj konverzaciji. Kad to
i111a1110 II vidu i kacl nyu cinjenicu povczcmo sa gornjolll konstatacijolll 0 velikOll1 broju
glagolskih oblika za sest cnglcskih vrcmCll<l aktiva i pasivn, sa po elva aspckta: simple
i progressive ondn zaista ne cudi sto to nasim stuelentima predstavlja iZllzetno tczak
problem. To je razlog da sc tvorbi i upotrcbi gJagolskih vrernena mora posvccivati
iZlIzctna i stallll1 pazllja na svim nivoima lIccnja englcskog jczika.

bi se propustilo naznaciti uslove u kojim3 se uobicajeno upotrebijava Present Perfect
Tense mogio bi doci do znaeajnih gresaka pri prevodenju nasih tekstova na engleski i
engleskih na nas jezik. Najbitnije je da se shvati da Present Perfect Tense moze iskazivati
sadasnju radnju (sto je eest slucaj)) pa eak i buducu radnju, Ima veliki broj primjera
koji potvrduju da se ovim vrel11cnOl11l11oze izraziti i sadasnja j buduca radnja, tj, da ovo
vrijeme moze obuhvatati i sadasnjost i proslost i buducnost.

Upotreba

Upotreba oblika pas iva za izrazavanje buduce radnje obrazlozena je u pog\avIju koje
se odnosi na vremena pasiva. Oblici pasiva se upotrebljavaju za buduCll radnju II skladu
sa pravilima upotrebe pas iva uopste. Uvjet 1I kojima se upotrebljava aktiv za izrazavanje
buduce radnje slicni Sll uvjetima u kojima sc koristi pasiv za buduC:ll radnju, samo se
dodatno moraju imati u vidu opci okviri za upotrebu pasiva i, naravno moraju se

upotrijebiti oblici pas iva za buduCll radnju.

49

PASIV
OBILJEZJA I'ASIVA U ENGLESKOM JEZIKU
1. U pasivnoj rccenici subjckt trpi posljedicc vrscnjH glagolskc radnje, pa je otuda
i dobio nazi v trpno stanjc. Subjekt, daldc, nije vrsilac glagolske radnje (sto jc sluca] u
recenicama izrazenim aktivom) ncgo se radnja vrsi na subjektu. Ustvari objekt aktivne
recenice postajc subjekt pasivnog glagola u pasivnoj konstrukciji.
U recenicama
a) "Mal]! asked my friend Bob about (he whole situation"
b) "1vlyfh"end Bob )'vas asked about the whole sitUalion by Maly"
imamo dva razliCita strukturalna Jjesenja za slicne, ali ne identicne scmantickc
varijallte. Formalna razlika u ave dvije recenice ogleda sc u Cinjcnici da je u recenici
pod '''a'' Mary subjekt, a my friend Bob je objekt ,dokje u rccenici pod ~b" my friend
Bob postao subjekt pasivne recenice. Sustinska scmanticka razlikaje u cinjenici daje u
"b" recenici naglasak na radnji, na izvrsavanju radnje dokje u "a" recenici naglasak na
vrsiocu radnje, 11a subjektu.
2. U engleskom jeziku razlikujcmo dvije vrste pas iva: pasiv radnje i pasiv stanja.
Pasiv radnje ima sva obicna gJagolska vremena ("simple tenses") i samo dva trajna
vremena ("continuous - progressive tenses": (Present Progressive Tense i Past
Progressive Tense), dok se druga trajna vremena ugJavnom ne upotrebljavaju ni u
usmenome ni u pismenome komuniciranju.

Pasiv radnje vidljiv je u recenicama:

This bridge was built last year.
This bridge has already been buill.
This bridge wil! be built in two years.
This bridge had been built before we came to Mostar itd.

Pasiv stanja opisu/e stanje i fie izraiava aktivl105>'f niti praces radnje. To potvrctuju
sljedece rc(:en;ce:
The window is broken.
The door is locked.
Jane is married to Henry.
Peter is interested in modern painting.
He is quite satisl1ed with his new job.

Pasiv stanja ncma "progressive" oblike, za razliku od pasiva radnje koji ima dva trajna
obllka: prezent i preterit.

3. Pasiv radnje mogu po pravilu imati samo prijelazni glagoli tj. glagoli koji obavezno
imaju iIi mogu imati objekt u akuzativu. Neprije\azni gJagoli kao "to go" "to run" (u
znacenju treatl), "to spring", "to lie" (Jczati), "to die", "to fall" "to bleed", "to come",
"to travel", "to alTive", "to bow", "to endure", "to bargain", "to appear", "to disappear"
hd. ne l110gu bit-i upotrijebljeni u pasivu.
4. Pasiv se u engleskom jeziku kodsti veoma testa. Ova narocito vazi za tekstove i
usmene rasprave sto se ad nose nu gotova sve tehni6kc grane, tchnoloske postupke, na
nauena istrazivanje i interpretiranje rezultata istrazivanja. U takvim tekstovima postize
se veea koncentriranast, veea gustoea, jer je u njima u prvom planu konstatacija bitnih
Cinjenica i rezultata istrazivanja, isticanje nalaza do kojih se doslo. Vrsenje radnje je u
pasivnim konstrukcijama vaznije ad vrsiaca. Vrsioci radnje, istrazivaci, interpretatori
rezultata istrazivanja Sll u drugom planu, gotovo nikad se i ne pominju, jer su nebitni u
datom kantekstu. Citalac u takvom zgusnutom tekstu brze dalazi do infonnacije koja ga
zanima, do rezultata istrazivanja pa tako gubi manje vremena. Procjeniuje se da se
najmanje jedna trecina recenica u tekstovima i raspravama 0 tehniCko-tehnojoskirn,
naucno-istraiiv<lckim temama izrazava pasivnom kODstrukcijom
Pasiv se naroeito u engieskorn jeziku upotrebljava u sljedeeim okolnostima:
a) aka je subjekt aktivne reecnice sasvim nepoznat iii nema u datim okolnostima nikakvu
veeu vainost.

U gornj im recenicama fokusira se radnja i njeno vrsenje, dokje vrsilac (iii vrsioci radnje)
u drugolU planu, te je stoga n~bitan. To je razlog da se konstrukcija "by" i subjekt
aktivne recenice izostavljaju u pasivnoj recenici.

5. U bosanskom jeziku pasiv se lIpotrebljava veoma rijetko kako u govornom

komuniciranju tako i II najraznovrsnijim pisanim tekstovima. Neposredna posljedica te
yaine cinjenice je dvojaka:
mnoge recenice izrazene pasivom na engleskomjeziku moramo prevoditi ili nasim
aktiyom, iii upotrebom povratne zamjenice se, iIi koriStenjem bezlicnih glagola;
rnnoge recenice izraiene aktivom na nasem jeziku se mora..iu preyoditi pasiynirn
konstrukcijama na engleski jezik. U protivnom ce se elesiti cIa se gubi znacajna
karakteristika engleskog jczika - njegoyo svojstyO da pasivom postize vecu
lIsmjerenost na bitne informacijc i bric vodcnje citaoca cIo sllstinskih konstatacija,
njegovu mogucnost cIa jace istakne vrscnjc glagolske radnje, a cIa vrsioca potisne

Vremena pas iva

engleskom jeziku

Pasiv u engleskom jeziku ima sva "simple" vremena kao i u aktivu i sarno elva
"progressive" tj. "continuous" vremena: Present Tense Progressive i Past Tense
Progressive.
Opee pravilo za tvorbu razlicitih vremena pas iva glasi: pasiv se pravi od odgovarajuceg
vremena pomocnoga glagola "to be" i participa perfekta glagola kojeg zelirno
upotrijcbiti.

Pasiv u Iwmbinaciji sa modalnim glagolima

~t) Prczent pasiva u kombinaciji sa modalnim glagolima pravi se tako da se modal nom
glagolu doda saelasnji jntin!tiv pasiva. A sadasnji infinitiv pasiva se prav! tako da se
glagolu "be" doda pllrticip perfekt:l glagola koji zelimo upotrijebiti. (Dakle'
modal + be + Particip perfekta)

dodavanjem participa perfekta pcrfektu pomocnoga glagola "to be" (DakIe: modaIn!
glagol + inlinitiv perfecta pas iva ").
Ove glagolske strukture izrazavaju pretpostavku 0 prosloj radnji, kazuju da se vjerovatno

Pasiv sa glagolom "get"

U kombinaciji sa glagolom "get" cesto koristi se particip perfekta. U takvim
konstrukcijama upotrebljava se glagol " to get" umjesto glagola "to be". Particip perfekta
upotrebljava se iza glagola "get" pa time cijela konstrukcija clobija obiljezja pasiva.
Konstrukcija pas iva sa "get" je closta cesta u engleskom govornomjeziku ali se smatra
nepoclesnorn u akaclemskim raspravama i u pisanom komuniciranju.
He stopped running because he got tired,
They got married three years ago,
Two drunk drivers got arrested.
Three men ~in the mountain.

The policeman !!QLkill;&by a drug dealer.

Upotreba pas iva sa subjektom '"it"

Postoji veliki broj ustaljenih frazeoloskih konstrukcija u kQjima je upotrtjebljen "it"
kao subjekt, a zatim slijedi particip perfekta. Frazeoloska konstrukcija "it" kojoj se
dodaje particip perfekta ima sva fonnalna i sustinska obiljezja pasiva. Ta konstrukcija
se dosta cesto upotrebljava u engleskom jeziku. Njenu upotrebljivost, primjenjivost i
rasirenost
Potvrdit ce sljedeci primjeri.
he is a good human being.
It is said
we can profit from this investment.
It is believed

Konstmkcije i frazeoloski izrazi kao sto su: he was known, he was said, he was believed,
he was undcrstoood, he was found itd. 1ma neke sUcnosti sa "it" konstrukcijom ali
ima i bitnih strukturalnih raz!ika. Umjesto subjekta "it" upotreb\javaju se zamjenice iIi
imenice. Nakon fraza: he was known, he was believed itd. obaveznaje struktura "to" +
"be" + particip prezenta iii particip perfekta.

Pretvaranje aktivnih recenica u pasivne

Cesto se u nasim nastavnim materijalima sugeriraju vjezbe pretvaranja aktivnih recenica
u pasivne. To ima prednosti utoliko sto ucenici nauee tvorbu pas iva u razliCitim
vremenima. Sa takvim vjezbama ipak ne treba pretierivati jer ucenici i studenti taka ne
uocavaju stilisticke znaeajke pas iva, njegove semanticke karakteristike i vrijednostL
Mora se imati na umy da engleski pasiv nije tek drugi oblik iskazivanja aktivnih recenica,
zato sto pasiv Ima neke bitne uvjete pod kojima se on maze i treba upotrebljavati 0
cemu je vee bilo rijeci.

Preoblicavanje aktivne recenice u pasivnu vrs! se na sljcdeci nacin:

a) objekt u aktivnoj postaje subjekt u pasivnoj recenici, a subjekt aktivne postaje objekt
pasivne recenice. Pri tome cesta se (ne uvijek) u pasivnoj recenici koristi prepozicija

by;
b) glagolsko vrijeme prebaci se iz aktiva u odgovarajuce vrijeme pasiva.

KONDICIONAL
Kondicionalima se iskazuju pogodbcne recenice, tj. uvjeti pod kojima ce se radnja glavne
recenice 1zvrsiti iii se nece izvrsiti. Razlikujcmo tri vrste kondicionala:
za izrazavanje pogodbe u sadasqjosti;
za iskazivanjc ostvarive, rcaine i moguce pogodbe lIpotrebom preterita;
za kazivanjc Ilcostvarive, irealnc pogodbe upotrebom pluskvamperfekta.

Pri izrazavanju pogodbenih rccenica sva tri pomcnuta tira koristi 5e jedan od dva
postojeca kondicionala: kondicional I (The Present Conditional) i kondicional II (The
Past Conditional).

1. The Present Conditional

Ponovo treba naglasiti da Future in the Past i The Present Conditional imaju identicne
oblike, ali se njihove semanticke karaktcristil{c medusobno bitno razlikuju. Stoga
futur prosli moramo prevoditi na nas jezik nasim futurom, a kondicional I nasim
pogodbenim reccnicama. Ocito, tc razlike u znacenju dviju idcnticnih glagolskih [ormi
su zaista velike i ta razlicitost u znacenju sc ne smijc zanemariti.

Tvorba
Kondicional I gradi se u potvrdl1om obliku upotrebom glagola should iii would i
infinitiva bez "to".
I (we) should play, cut, smile, carry, write, study, read, s1mi itd.
You, (he, she, they) would play, cut, smile, carry, write, study. start itd.

Odricni oblik sc pray! dodavanjcm negacije not potvrdnome obliku.

I (we) should not play, cut, smile, cany, write, study, stmi itd
You (they, he, she) would not play, cut, smile, write, study, start itd.
Upitni oblik pravimo inverzijom, tj. zamjenom mjesta glagola should (would) i subjekta.
Should I (we) play, cut, smile, cany, write, study, read, start.
Would you (they, he, she) play, cut, smile, carry, write, study, read, start.
Odricno-upitni oblik tvorimo dodavanjem negacije not upitnom obliku. Ta negacija
dodaje se glagolima should i would, ali se piSe i kazuje iza subjekta ako je upotrijebljen
puni oblik. Ako se koristi sazeti oblik, ta negacija dodajc se sarno glagolima should iii
}vould.

 Should I (we) not play, cut, smile carry, write, study, read, start?
Would you (they, she, he) not play, cut, smile, carry, write, study, read?

Kondicionalom prvim izrazava se uvjet od koga ovisi izvrsenje, odnosno neizvrsenje

glagolske radnje. Taj uvjet maze se odnositi na sadasnju iii na buducu pogodbu. Ako se
uvjet odnosi na pros lost, ne moze se upotrijebiti kondicional prvi, vee kondicional drugi.

KONJUNKTIV
Glagoli u engleskomjeziku mogu imati tri nacina (moods);
Indikativ
Konjunktiv
Imperativ
Indikativom se iskazuju radnje iii zbivanja koji su reaini, koji se stvarno dogadaju,
koji su se dogodili iIi ce sc dogoditi. On, dakle, iskazuje stvarne cinjenice, konstatacije,
stvama dogadanja ili nedogadanja.
They go ta school.
Azra doesn't like to get up early.
My mother has lived in Mostar for 10 years.
They visited us an Sunday,
Has he always been such workaholic?
She had forgotten to ask about it.
He will come in time.
Are you going to travel this week?
Konjunktivom se ne iskazuje cinjenicno stanje i realnost vec, naprotiv, pretpostavke,
:zelje, ocekivanja, zahtjev, nadu, eventualnu mogucllost, a te pretpostavke zelje i
ocekivanja itd.mogu biti ostvarivi ( moguci ) ali i neostvarivi (irealni). Ostvarenje je u
svakom slucaju neizvjesno, nesigurno.

Formalne razlike konjunktiva

1I

odnosu

l1a

indikativ neznatne su.

1.Glagol "to be" u svim licima konjunktiva prezenta ima isti oblik: infinitiv bez "to~
be you be he be she be it be we be they be,
2,U prvom i treccm lieu Past Tens-a u konjunktivu se koristi oblik were umjesto was.
(Jf! 'were, ifhe were, ifshe were). Ostali oblici Past Tens-a ostaju isti kao u indikativu).
3. U trecem lieu jednine u Present Simpl-u ucma nastavka s kojije u indikativu obavezan
(osim izuzetno kod nekih glagola): he go, she go, it go,

Upotreba
Konjunktiv sc rijctko upotrebljava u savremenom u engleskomjeziku, ali se ipak koristi
bar u ovim trima razliCitim okolnostima:

66

1. Konjunktiv upotrijebljen u glavnoj recenici iskazuje zelju.

I
I
lucky enough to get the scholarship!
I wish I ~ in your shoes!
Long llY.c. our country!
~ Long llY.c. our freedom!
Long l~ the young couple!

will

2. U pogodbcnim recenicama upotreba konjunktiva izrazava neispunjeni uvjet,

neispunjenu pogodbu.
If~ here, he would fix our bicycle.
lf~ in your shoes, I wouJdn"t do it.
Ifshe JYQfl:..IT older, she could attend the session.
He behaves as if he ~a millionaire.
3. Konjunktiv takoder se upotrebljava u izvjesnom broju idiomatskih izraza:
~ what may, I shall do my duty.
Far ~ from me to even think of it.

67

IMPERATIV
Zapovjednim se naCinom izrazava naredba, zahtjev, zabrana, opomcna, paziv i molba.
Za drugo lice jednine i mnozine zapovjcdni nacin identican je infinitivu glagola bez
"to".
~here.

Ask him about it.

Qp.rn the window.
Hurry up

Sit down.
~ this book, not that one.
Th.ll me the truth.
Take him out.
Switch the light QiI.
Kad se nc radi 0 izricitim narcdbama, ondaje U ovakvim strukturama gotovo obavczna
upotrcba rijeci, please. Njenom upotrebom "umeksava" se zahtjev (trazenje), ublazava
se izriCit05t, sto je vazoa kulturoloska oznaka cnglcskog jezika.
U odricilom obliku imperativa u drugoml ieu jednine i mooiinc isprcd gJagola stavlja

se odricni oblik pomocnog glagola "to do": do not (don't).

Do not (don't) ask him about it.
DQ not (don't) sit down here.
Do not ( don 'j) take this book.
Don'1 (do noO open the window.
Don't (do not) come late to school.
.. Don't (do not) take him out.
Don't (dol1Q1} eat too much icc cream .
.. Do not (don't) listen to her.

Imperativ za I i IIlUce jednine i mnozine gradi se pomocu glagola let.

1&1me~.

1&1 him (heri..fini.sh the sentence.

1&1 us ~there.
1&1 us ~ this book.
1&1 him (her) Qjlffi the windows.
1&1 her (himl.ill down here.
1&1 me ili next to you .
.. Let's go there right pow.

Odricni impcrativ za I i III lice jednine i mnozine gradi se dodavanjem odricnoga

oblika galagola "to do" (do not - don't) ispred glagola let.
I2illDJilluJ-'l1l1et him ililll me here.
Do not (don't) let him (herm down.
Don't let him make such a mistake.
Do not let us be ~ for lunch.
Do not let them g.Q.Qill now.
Do not let them QQ it again.
Za crnfatiCuli upotrchu imperativa postoje tri mogucnosti:

1. Glagol to" do" bez"to" stavi se ispred upolrijebtjenoga glagola;

Do tell me all you know about it.
Do hI? (jllier now.
Do go to see your father now.
~ a little more polite,
Do behave yourself.
Do write this letter in the evening.

2. Druga mogucnost za emfatiCnu upotrebu zapovjednog nacina je upotreba liene

zarnjenice you za drugo lice jednine, ispred imperativa.
You sit here. and YOll go there.
You behave yourself.
You don't interfere.
You hcl.u him. He's your friend.
You shut all windows.
It's cold. You go out and play. with her.

3. Trecaje mogucnost za postizanje veoma izrazene emfaticnosti u imperativu upotreba

adverba za pravac (in, out, away, back, over, off, round, under) na samom pocetku
reCcnice:
Up you camel
OtfYOll gol
Out you go!
In YOU come I
Away with it!
Back you come!
.. Round you gol
Here you come!
There you sit

69

Subjekt se u imperativu izostavlja za drugo licejednine ako imperativ nije upotrijebljen

emfaticno. Ali ako se zahtjev odnosi na vise osoba onda se, za drugo lice mnozine,
stavlja zamjenica you ispred imperativa.
Sil down. (jedno lice).
Ylli! Ann and Maty sit down.
Slay in your room. (jedno lice).
Ylli! two stay in your rooms.
\Vrite these sentences down.
e You all write these sentences down,
Don't touch anything here.
Yml John and Fred don't touch anything.
Neodredene zarnjenice everybody. everyone, somebody. kada se upotrijebe u indirektnim
zahtjevima (naredbama) - iskazuju se na pocetku iii oa kraju recenice.
Everybody stand up
Stand up everybody.
Somebody call the ambulance.
.c.illl the ambulance somebody
Eyeryone write this proverb.
Write this proverb evelyone
Uz imperativ moze se upotrijebiti please iii will you. U tom slucaju ne iskazuje se
naredba. zahtjev, nego rnolba, sugestija, nesto nagJaseniji prijedlog ,a won't you pretvara
zahtjev u pozlv i prijedlog.
Woo't you write this letter?
~ lhis leIter, ~.
Won't you give me these books?
~ me these books, will you
Won't you study mathematics?
~ mathematics, !lkl=
Won't you stop smoking?
smoking, !lkl=
Won't you call me back?
Cilll me back, ~.

sum

KHd uz glagol stoji prcpozicija iii ncka druga partikuhl , onda se one u il11pcrativu
najcesce upotrebljavaju na kraju recenice, ali se one IllOgU upotrijebiti i neposredno
nakon imperativa
Take out your books.
:I:iJJs& your books llllI.
II.iJ:n...Qn the TV
Iw:n the TV Qlh
Write my phone number llilli:u. Write down my phone number.
lJ.lLQn the light.
P.ll.t the light Qlh
Drink up the mille
l2rink the mi Ik lIj2.
Kad se poslije imperativa upotrijebi zamjcnica kao objekt, onda pattikule i prepozicije
moraju biti na kraju recenice.
Bring them in.
Look it up.
70

o Drink it up.
Take it out. (the garbage)
o Put them on the desk.
Put!hrnl down. (the boxes)
Let them out.
Let him in.
Switch it off.

Zapovijed se moze izraziti ovim i slienim frazama:

Away with it!
Down with it!
Down!
Out with it!
Out!
Off with you!
Izrazito jaka Ijutnja,negodovanje iii uvrijedenost izrazava se ovim izrazima:
Shut up! (Dosta grub zahtjev koji se ne upotrebljava u otmenom dmstvu);
Hold your tongue!
Stop it!
Get off my back!
Get off1
Get out!
Get lost!

UCtivi zahtjevi
Uetivi zahtjevi, sugestije, prijedlozi, iskazivanje vlastitog oeekivanja i zelje u engleskom
jeziku veoma su vazni zato 5tO su eesti u upotrebi. To nisu izrieiti zahtjevi i naredbe, vec
sugestije, podsticaji da se nesto ueini ill ne ueini, zapravo blagi zahtjevi i gotovo motbe.
Najces6i nacini ispoljavanja tih blagih zahtjeva su: Would you, will you, could you,
caD you + infinitive bez ~'to."
Potrebno je da se ovi oblic; usvoje vee u prvim fazama ucenja i da se pravl imperativj
upotrebljavaju samo izuzetno i rijetko. Izrazima would you? i could you? iskazuje se
btagi zahtjev u formalnoj atmosferi gdje ima {judi koje ne poznajete a njima se obracate,
dok se izrazi will you? can you? upotreb\javaju l! neformalnoj atmosferi, dakle u situaciji
kad se obraca poznanicima, iii bliskim osobama.
Izmedu fraza could you? i would you? nema nikakvih bitnih razlika, a takode nema
razlika izmedu izraza can you i will you?
71

Would you help me please? ( umjesto: Help me please.)

\Vil1 you (can you) QQ it for me'?

Cmllil you (~you) stay here f'or an hour or two'?

Could you

you) QJ2Cll the windo\v'?

Cilll you (will you) take this dog out?

e

.cnu you (yJll you) ~ to see us on Sund,1y'l

Cill.l you (.lYill you) rul1 a taxi?

Cilll you ( lYill you) clem} up this mess?

Uctivi zahtjcvi u)Julrchum frazc "'would yuu mind"

Fraza would you mind ko1'isti se testo u cng!eskom jcziku da uclivo izrazi prijedlog,
blagi zahtjev, sugcstiju, Nakon "would you mimI" maze sc upotrijebiti jedna ad dvije
mogucnosti:
a) Would you mind if I smoked? (Would you mind if I smoke'!)
b) \Vould you mind my opening the window?

Kad se ouaberc nastavak if, onda se iza toga upotrijebi Past Tense, a semanticka poruka
je trazcnjc dopustcnja da se Besto udni. Ova struktura zapravo znaci: smcta Ii yam ako
zatvorim prozor, sto implicira prijedlog, sugestiju. Upotreba Past Tense-a ne znaci da se
radnja odnosi na pros!ost. Radnja se, zapravo, odnosi na sadasnjost iii buducnost.
U govornom engleskomjeziku umjesto Past Tens-a se cesto upotrebljava 1 Present Simple
, dakIe: Wou/dyoll mil1d ({he callie I,Filh us?ili he comes with us?
Vv'ould you mind my smoking ima slicnQ znacenje kao a) struktura ("if struktura").
Medutim b) struktura (gerund) vise se koristi kad se sugestija upucuje nekome drugom
da nesto ucini, lako sc u govornom jcziku cesto upotrebljava gerund i kad sc traii
dopustcnje. Mogucc je, prclll<J tome, rVouid YOIl mind Illy smoking? (Smclll Ii 1/(l/1I (//w

INFINITIV
Infinitivi su osnovni, bazicni, neodrccteni gJagotski obIie!. U englcskom jeziku
infinitivim<1 prethodi partikula "to" Kod relativno maJog broja glagola ta partikula "to"
ne upotrcbljava se. Za razliku ad bosanskog jezika u kome postoji samo jed an infinitiv

(ncodrcc1cni glagolski oblik nn -ti, -ci) u engleskom jeziku postoji scst razlicitih
illfinitiva kod prelaznih i cetiri kod neprclaznih glagola.
1. inJil!~r~cnta (s.imu.1.c.) : to write, to smile, to study, to Cllt, 10 l'inish itd.
2. infinitiv prezent1!..ln..r!!grcssivt); to be writing, to be smiling, to be cutting, to be

4. infinitiY...perfclda (progressiye); to have been vvriting, to have been smiling, to

Ove oblike, tvorbu i upotrebll treba ukratko obrazloziti. Nacelna infinitivi imajll svojstva
gJagoJa ali i neka svojstva imenica. Glago\ske osobine in fin it iva se potvrduju Cinjenicom
da infinitivi mogu imati razl iCita vremena i aspekte (sto je svojstvo sarno glagola), imaju
oblike u aktivu i u pasivu, a karakteristike imenica se potvrouju cinjenicom da infinitivi
mogu biti upotrijebleni i u funkcUi su~iekta i u funkciji objekta.
Infinitiv prez~nta; to write, to smile, to cut, to study, to eany, to send. Ovaj infinitiv je
naznacen u Ijecnicima. Njegovu tvorbu nije potrebno objasnjavati.

73

Upo!reb.
Infinitiv moze u recenici imati tri razlicite funkcije iako mu oblik ostaje nepromijcnjen.
Ta cinjenica odreduje i mogucnosti upotrebe infinitiva. Razni oblici infinitiva se u
engleskom jeziku testa upotrebljavaju, svakako mnogo ceSce U odnosu na nas jezik.
Stoga je neophodno pokazati mogucnosti upotrebe infinitiva u engleskom jeziku.

To succeed is always very desirable.
To have that type of knowledge is useful.

5, Mnogi glagoli zahtijevaju strukturu objekt + infinitiv. Ta se struktura najcesce
nazi va akuzativ 5 infinitiyom. NajceSCi glagoli koji traie akuzativ sa infinitivom
izrazavaju uglavnom zclju (wish wan1. desire); zapovijed (order. command. require.
force ask), zatim glagoli tell. advise encourage allow invite. like, djshke plan.

U ovakvim strukturama cescaje upotreba gerunda nego infinitiva sa "to",
IIli1nitiv perfekta obicllog (aktiv i pasiv)
Poslije infinitiva prezenta najccsce se upotrcbljava infinitiv perfekta obicnog (simple)
aktiva, pa njega treba obrazloiiti. Ovaj obUk se gradi od inllnitiva p0111ocnog glagola
"to have" i participa perfckta upotrijebljcnog glagola. Obicni infinitiv perfekta aktiva
ima dvostrllkll fllllkciju.
a) On se moze koristiti za tvorbu dva slozena vremena:
1. Future in the Past (They will have asked),
2. Past Conditional (They would have asked), pa je vaino da se nauce njegovi obliei;
b) Infinitiv perfekta obiCnog aktiva i pas iva ima samostalnu i dosta cestu upotrebu.

1. Infinitiv perfekta oznacava radnju koja se desila priie radnje izrazene liCnirn
glago\skim oblikom,

 He was velY happy iiLhave met such a nice girl.

e I was satisfied to haye been understood correctly .
.. He was very happy.1Q...h.ave metsuch a nice girL
.. I was satisfied to have been understood correctly.
She didn't expect :tiLb.aYt~n invited to her pal1y.
.. The rain seems to have stopped
Azra was fortunate 1-0 have heen given a good scholarship .
.. We were sony not to have heen at that important party .
.. Susan claimed to have spent the whole night with her aunt .
.. The actor was said tQ.l13ve heen rewarded for his excellent performance .
.. The boss was informed to have won the first prize .
.. He was sorry not to have come in time to see her.
They were graateful to have been warned in time .
.. I was surprised to have been told the whole truth.
They were satisfied to have visited their uncle .
.. YOll seem to have done all that }V(fS possible to help yourji'end.

2. U kombinaciji sa defektnim glagoIima infinitiv perfekta obicnog kazuje cia se prosla

radnja ni.ie izvrsiIa. Isto tako ovom konstrukcijom: modalni gIagol + infinitiv perfckta
iskazuje se neostvarena pretpostavka koja se odnosi na pros lost.
.. You could have written your report on Sunday.
I'm your father and you shoqld have asked me about it.
.. You ought to have visited your friend in Sarajevo.
They may not haye caught wday's last bus to Dubrovnik.
It wallJe! have been vel)' pleasant to have gone to Washington D,C.
They were said to have heen velY hard working students.
Before taking the exam all students sh01!Ie! have contacted their professor.
.. You couldn't have done it at this moment.
You ought to have met your father's friend a long time ago.
Preostali oblici infinitiva: trajni infinitiv prezenta, trajni infinitiv perfekta, ne moraju se
posebno objasnjavati, jer se rijetko upotrebljavaju.

PARTICIPI
Participi su vrsta rijeci koje mogu imati dvojake osobine: a) osobine glagola, b) osobine
pridjeva.
Kao pridjevi participi stoje ispred imenica i pokazuju njihova svojstva. Kao i svi drugi
pridjevi mogu se upotrijebiti atributivno (ispred imenica) iii predikativno (kao diD
predikata).
Postoje po dva oblika paIiicipa aktiva i pasiva: particip sadaSnji i pD!1'icip perfekta

Particip prezenta
Tvorba patticipa prezenta i promjene kaje pri tome nastaju su obrazlozeni u dijelu koji

prezenta moze imati i sljedece cetiri samostalne funkcije tj. mogucnosti upotrebe:
atributska upotreba (pddjev ispred imenice da je poblize oznaei);
predikativna upotreba (pridjev koji se dodaje glagolu - predikatu - da mu dopuni
znacenje);
upotreba u sluzbi skracivanja recenica;
dopuna izvjesnim ustaljenim frazama.
Atributivna upotreba: a flying bird, a crying child, a smiling girl, a singing actress, a
lasting peace, breaking news, an encouraging event, a room with running water, working
people, a freezing wind itd.
Predil{ativ : a bird is flying, a child is crying, a girl is smiling, an actress is singing, the

UPRAVNI I NEUPRAVNI GOVOR

Pri tome to se maze uciniti oa elva oaeina:
l.citiranjem tj. doslovnim navodenjem necijih rijeCi (upravni gayor);
2.prepricavanjem sadrzaja iskaza, tvrdnje, poricanja, pitanja bez doslovnog
ponavljanja govomikovih rijeci (neupravni gavor)
U neupravnom su govonl prema pravilim3 engleskog jezika obavezne neke promjene

4. Promjena struktufc upitne recenice u neupravnom govonl

Prenosenje sadrzaja pitanja u indirektnom govoru ima svoje specificnosti. Umjesto
glagola "to say", "to tel!" upotrebljavaju se u indirektnim pitanjima glagoli "to ask" "to
want to know" "to inquire" "to wonder." U upitnim recenicama koje pocinju nekom
upitnom rijeci: When, which, who, why, what, how many, how much itd. te upitne
rijeCi tl inc1irektnom govoru koriste se kao veza (spona) izmedu glavne i sporedne
recenice.
Medutim II upitnim recenicama u kojima ocma upitnih rijeei upotrebljavaju 5e if iIi

5. Imperativ u indirektnom govoru

U zapovjednom nacil1u takode nastaju promjene kad se on upotrijcbi u indirektnolTI
govoru. Infinitiv sa "to" zamjenjuje imperativ upotrijebljen u upravnom govoru. U
tom slucaju se u glavnoj recenici najCeSce koristijedan od sljedecih glagola: to ask to
Qd.er.. to tell to want to command.
"Write this letter please" the manager said.
TIle manager told me to write the letter
"Come to my house at t\VO p.m. so that we can go out for a walk".

Upotreba glagola "to say' i "to tell"

Znacenja ovih dvaju glagoJa su slicna ali Be identicna. Medu njima postoje odredene
razlike i njihova pravilna upotreba pricinjava odrcdcne tcskoce govornicima bosanskog
jezika.
Glagol "to say" upotrebljavamo u ovim slucajevima:
1. U upravnom govoru tj. u citiranju obavezna je upotreba "to say".
He said: " Come in, please."
They said: "We will not go with you."
My uncle said: "I have read all the reports on this accident"
The teacher said: "You had written the dictation better than 1 hoped."

2. U neupravnom govoru maze se upotrijebiti glagol "to say" i "to tell". "To say"
obavezan je aka se ne spominje osoba kojoj se govori. Ako je porn en uta lice (u tom
slucaju objekat) mora se upotrijebiti "to tell"
They said: ''The driver had an accident"
They said that the driver had had an accident.

Sam said: "1 am very busy and I cannot belp you now"
Sam said that he was very busy and he could not help me then.
Ali: Sam told me that he was very busy and that he could not help me then.

3. To say nikada se ne upotrebljava sa imperativom u indirektnom

govoru, Umjesto njega obavezanje "to tell"
The teacher said: "Sit down please"
We were told to sit down
She said: "Be careful, because that can be dangerous"
She told me to be careful because that could be dangerous
Navedeni primjeri pokazuju da se ova dva gJagola ("to say", "to tell") sarno u jed nom
slucaju upotrebljavaju u slicnim, ne identicnim okolnostima kada se upotrebljavaju u
neupravnorn govoru, (Razlike u njihovoj upotrebi u neupravnom govoru su vidljive u
prethodnim objasnjenjima i primjerima), U 5vim drugim slucajevirna mogucaje upotreba
sarno jednog glagola: u upravnom govoru sarno 5e upotreb~java "to say", II imperativll
moguce je upotrijebiti sarno "to tell".

POGODBENE RECENICE
Pogodbene (kondicionalne) su jedna vrsta zavisno s,lozcnih recenica. One sc sastoje od
glavne i pogodbene, tZY. if recenice. Ifrecenica iskazuje uvjet, a 11102e prethoditi glavnoj
reccnici ili se nalaziti iza nje. Pored veznika if u pogodbenoj roccnici maze se upotrijebiti

U glavnoj receoici moze se upotrijebiti i odricni i potvrdni oblik. Pri upotrcbi veznika
~ sporedna receniea maze prethoditi glavnoj iii biti upotrijebljena iza nje.
Kondicionalne recenice mogu im3ti i jos oeke veznike kao: Q1} condition that. in case
(that), supposing, provided that itd. Medutim veznik if najcescije pa se stoga pogodbene
recenice cesto nazivaju if-recenicailla.
Pogodbene recenice iskazuju jcdnu od tri Illogucnosti:
.. ako se ispuni neki uvjet ostvarit ce se odredena glagolska radnja,
.. kad hi se ispunio ncki uvjet ostvarila bi se odredena radnja,
da sc bio ispunio neki uvjet ostvarila bi so neka radnja.
Prema tome u pogodbenim recenicama iskazuje se uslov za izvrsenje glagolske radnje u
sadasnjosti, buducnosti iii u proslosti. Taj uslov izrazen u if-recenicama moze biti
trojak:
Ostvariv (ispunjiv) uvjet
.. Neostvaren ali ipak moguc (ispunjiv) uvjet.
.. Neostvariv (irealan, neisjJwv'iv) /./vjet.
Imaju6i to u vidu sve pogodbcne recenice dijeliI110 na tri tipa (v1'ste). P1'voI11 tjpu pripadaju
po god bene recenice sa ostvarivim uvjetom, drugom recenice sa neostvarenim

U pogodbenim recenicama prvog tipa upotrebljava se u glavnoj recellici prezcnt, futur
(aktiv Hi pasiv), ili imperativ, a u if rccenici prezent iIi perfekt (aktiv iIi pasiv).
Ovak;yj odnosi pogodbenih i glavnih recenica postoje i u nasem jeziku pa oni za nase

NEPOTPUNI GLAGOLI
Postojijedna grupa gJagoJa koji sc izuzetno cesto upotrcbljavaju i u usmcnom i u pisanom
komuniciranju. Zbog ie Cinjcnice i zbog njihovih karakteristika treba im posveCivati
veliku paznju u svim fazama nastave. Oni imuju neka obiljezja koja ih izdvajaju od svih
drugih glagoJa i mogu sc svesti pod gon\ji naslov: llepotpuni gJagoli. Nepolpuni gJagoii
obuhvataju pomocne: wj/l ,.. hall yhollid would ali i tzv. defcktnc gJagoJe: call may
must nerd OIWhr to dare ~atim' had beuer have rot to
Zajednicke karakteristike j pomocnih i defektnih glagola su:

1. Cijela skupina glagola trazi neku dupunu da bi imali potPUl10 znaccnje. Bez tih
dopuna oni nemaju puna znacenje OSi111 U odredcnim kontekstima koji podrazu~
mijevanjem osiguravaju dopunu. pOI11Qrnj glagoli shall wi!! se dopunjuju jnfjnitiyoIU
bez "to" da bi se napravilo buduce vrijeme, should i \vOllld da bi se napravio futur drugi
i oha kondicionala.
2. Druga karakteristika cijcle skupine glago!a je einjcnica da za tvorbu upitnog i odricnog
oblika ne koristc pomotni g!agol ., do" vee se ta dva oblika tvore invcrzijom, odnosno
upotrcbom negaciie not.
3. Njihova treca zajednicka karakteristika: u trecem lieu jednine prczenta obicnog (Simple
Present Tense) ne dobijaju nastavak -5 kakav je slucaj sa ostalim giagolima.

4. Cetvrta zajednicka karakteristikaje u einjenici da se kao njihova dopuna koristi krllji

illfinitiv (infinitiv bez "to").
5. Peta znacajka ovih glagola cinjenica jc da se mogu upotrijcbiti u pasivu ali tada
imaju neSto izmijenjenu strukturu u odnosu na pasiv 5vih drugih glagola.
1z ove se skupine kao posebna grupa izdvajaju defektni gJagoli koji pored gornjih
karakteristika imaju ijos neka obiljezja svojstvena samo njima, To su g/agoli can, may
must, ought to, need, should, would, dare.

Zajednicko obiljeije svim defektnim glagolima (pored one gore pomenutih pet
karakteristika) cinjenicaje da nemain SV3 yremena koja imaju ostali gJagoli. Njihje
potrebno posebno obrazloziti.

Glago) "can"
Ovaj glagol ima odgovarajuce oblike sarno za prezent (can) i preterit (could). Druga
vremena tvore se pomocu izraza "to be able to".

Treba uociti da se odricni obUk "cannot" uvijek pise zajedoo, nikad odvojcno, sto je
jZllzetak U odoos!I Da sye drHge g!agole.
Ovaj g!agol ima vise znacenja i stoga vise razlicitih upotreba.
1. Njime se izrazava sposobnost j fizjcka moguCnosl (nemogunost) da se oeSto uradL
(znati, umjeti, biti u slanju)

ucioi. Ooi se U ovom smislu koriste za uctivo obraeanje. Cm!ld izrazava veei stepen
uctivosti i postovanja slusalaca nego Q.illl..

3. Can i CQuid takoder se cesto preplii:u sa poljem upotrebe defektnog glagola: may.

You Q.iillll.Q.1 ~ whenever you want.
C1ill I ~ your car, uncle George?
Cilllli:!. I ~ your book, please?
Cilll we (could we) go out now"?
4. Oblikom could cesto se iskazuje ocekivanje da ce se nesto dogoditi. U istom znacenju
maze se upotrijebiti can s tom razlikom da can Qzn[j:wa neStQ yeu vjerovatoou nego
could.

mu se tada mijenja znacenje, U negativnorn obliku on ne znaCi ne rnorati. ~

~
Za izrazavanje znacenja ne morati koristi se drugi defektni glagol "need not".
Glagolom "must" izrazava se:

1. obaveza iii savjet

We must clean our room right now,
You must tel1 me the whole truth.
I had to write this report yesterday.
You will have to go to school tomorrow.
I have to leave you now,
Did we have to write our English homework?
You must listen to this musician, you will like his music,
When you come 10 Mostar you must see the ruins of the Old Bridge.
2. vjerovatnoca:
He!l1llilJls: in New York by now.
This is a good car. It must cost a lot of money.
He must have been very tired as he had worked for 16 hours without a break,
The book is not here, Jane mllst have taken it.
o My mother isn't at home, She must have gone out
It's late and he hasn't shown up. He must be coming tomon'ow moming.

3. zabrana:
You mustn't go out right now, it's too dangerous.
They llllliln:.t.= the prisoner.
They mtlstn't park their car over there.

4. Za negativni oblik

U zllacenje nc morati upotrebljava se glagol need not.

They are very happy today, as they need not get up-early.
They are good workers; they needn't be told what to do .
.. He needn't come again tomorrow.
We ncecln't pay for that, as that was a gift.

"Causativni" glagoli: make, have, get

Ova tri glago!a l110gu se upotrijebiti da oznace kako je lice A. navelo lice B. da nesto
uradi za lice A. Drugim rijecima neko vrS1 (obavlja) radnju rccenice po zelji i zahtjevll
subjckta reccnice. Kad su ova tri glagola upotrijcbljcna u poscbnom, "kauzativnom"
smislu njihova su znacellja sticna ali ne idenliCna. U rccenici "I made my sister write
the homework" znaccnje jc da samje prisilio i da u 10m ona nije imala izbora. U rccenici
""I had my sister write the homework" znacenje je: ona je to uradila jer sam ja trazio,
nije morala, ali je uradila da ispuni moje insistirartic. U recenici "I got my sister ~
the homework." porllka je da samje uvjerio (ubijedio) kako treba napisati svoju zadacu.
Glagol "get" II ovakvoj upotrebi slijedi infinitiv sa "to" a druga dva glagola slijede
infinitivi bez "to"
U gornjim primjerima upotrijebljena je struktura: Past Tense + objekt + infinitiv bez
~

Primjeri:
I made my sister write the homework i
I had my sister write her homework. -~ potvrduju gornju konstataciju.
Medutim, postoji i "kauzativna" struktura koja sc gradi taka da iza glagola: have i get

n lMENICE

Gramatika engleskog jezika

Jmenice su vrsta rijeci koje u rccenici imaju znacajnu funkciju. One rnogu biti
upotrijebljene kao subjekt (vrsilac radnje), kao objekat iii pr:epozicionalni objekat.
Izuzetno ya'l;oa karakterlli,tika engJes1(Qg jezika UQkazuje se II Cinienjci da veliki hrQi
jmenjca mogu biti upotrijebJjrni i kao pridjevi. lcdnostavno imenica se upotrijebi ispred
druge irnenice pa ona prva preuzirna ulogu pridjeva: copy book copper wire. mtlill
llJ2ring. QlIlcrete bridgL hand pump lYillillllhL lilllJmage textbook. ,offee break. illlli1
~ power plant air ~ pipe radius itd.
Sve imenice mozemo podijeliti na pet kategorija.:.

1. Vlastite imenice (proper names) pokazuju vlastita imena Ijudi, gradova,

2.

3.

4.

S.

institucija. Nazivi mjeseci j dana u sedmici se tretiraju kao vlastite imenice:

Peter, Maria, Mirsad, October, Sunday, Sarajevo, New York itd.
Opee imenice (common nouns) oznacavaju nazive lica, mjesta,
zivotinja, stvari, : woman ,man, boy, girl, table, lion, street, town, window,
horse, lake, river, head, face, leg itd.
Zbirne imenice (collective nouns) oznacavaju skup iIi mnostvo ljudi, stvari
koji se tretiraju kao jedna skupina: army, crowd, family, team, police, herd,
cattle, class,jury, government, council, committee, public, team, staff, crew itd.
Gradivne imenice (material nouns) oznacavaju materiju. One su uglavnom
nebrojive imenice i nemaju mnozinu: milk, water, tea, sand, coffee, air, cheese,
ice cream, butter itd,
Apstraldne imenice (abstract nouns) oznacavaju svojstva, stanje, osjecanja,
kakvocu: beauty, ugliness, courage, question, answer, traffic, behavior, illness,
health, respect, disrespect, honesty itd.

Syojstva imenica
Imenice posjeduju tri karakteristicna svojstva (obiljezje): rod, broj i padel.

Rod: mllski, zenski iii srednji. Po ovom svojstvu englcske imenice razlikuju se od nasih.
Stvari u nasemjcziku imaju gramaticki rod, tj.jedan od tri roda (taj stol, ovaj izlog, onaj
prozoI', ta stolica, ova knjiga, ona sob a, to sed 1o, ovo pero itd.), dok su u engleskom
stvari (sa malim brojem izuzetaka) srednjeg roda.
Broj oznacavajedninu ili mnozinu imenica: book _. books, man -men, woman - women,
boy - boys, friend - friends itd.

113

Padei oznacava ocInos il11enice u recenici prema njenil11 drugim rijcCima. U nasem
jeziku funkcUa imcnice u recenici ocIreduje njene oblike, lljcne padez.ne nastavke. U
engleskomjcziku ne postoje paddni nastavci vcc Sll funkcija i padez odredeni mjestom
u recenici, ili nckil11 ad prijedloga (to, of itd.), odnosno apostrofom - s.
Subjekt: This man is VCty handsome. His sister is beautiful,
Objekt: Do you see that liliLfl over there? Give this book tQ his sister.

Rod imcnica

Rod imenica u engleskom se raziikuje od roda u nasem jeziku. Mi imamo tzv.

gral11aticki rod koji ne postoji u engleskom. Iz toga proizlaze mnogc posljedice koje se
moraju imati na umu pri prevoc!cnju sajednogjezika na drugi. To je naroeito vazno kad
upatrebljavama zamjenice u jednini (he, she, it). Posta su rodovi uglavnol11 razliCiti to
ce i odgovarajuce zamjenice u jednini biti razlieite. Imenice i liene zamjenice imaju
obiljezja kojima pokazuju rod pa to treba imati u vicIu pri prevoc!enju.
1. U pdncipu engleski rod slUedi prirodnu odrednicu da su sva ziva bica ili zenskog ili
muskog rada: zene, djevojke, odnosno zenke u zivotinjskom svijetu su zenskog rada,
muskarci, djecaci i l11uzjaci u zivotinjskom svijetu su l11uskog roda. Mala djeca, insekti
i ptice, mladunead zivotinja i stvari (sa malim brojem izuzetaka) imaju srednji rod.

Singular i plural imenica

Obieno vlada uvjerenjc da je Ll engles-korn jcziku veoma lahko napraviti jedninu od
mnozinc imcnica. To jc tacno, jer najveCi broj imenica tvore mnozinu ad jednine
dodavanjem nastavka - s iii - es na jedninu. (Taj nastavak - s, - es se izgovara iii kao
nase - s, odnosno nase-- z iii - iz. Pravila za izgovor su ista kao pravila za izgovor treceg
liea jednine U obicnom prezentu).
Moramo, ipak, znati cia od opceg pravHa 0 tvorbi mnozine imenica dodavanjem nastavka
- s, iii - es ima puno izuzetaka. Te izuzetke treba pamtiti kako bi se mogli pravilno
upotrijebiti u neposrednom sluzenju cngleskim jezikolTI.

9. a) Mnozina slozcnica
SJozenice u engleskom jeziku su vrlo 6este naro6ito u tekstovima i raspravama koje se
odnose na tehniku, tehnoloske procese, oglase, razne grane nauke, naslove u novinama
j slicno. Njima se postize bolja konciznost, jezgrovito, kratko saopstavanje bitnih
informacija i preciznija pojmovna definisanost rije6i.
Slozenice je veoma tesko precizno prevoditi sa engleskog na nas jezik .U nacelu
najvaznija rijec !l s]ozenici je posljednja a sve druge sluze kao odrednice posljednje
rijeci, kao njeni atributi, opisi. Drugim rijecima, rijeci ispred glavnog pojma imaju
funi{ciju pridjeva i ta cinjcnica odreduje formalna obiljez.ja mnozine. Posto pridjevi
nemaju nastavke ni oblike koji bi pokazivali mnozinu to u slozenici sarno glavna djee (a
najcesce je to posljednja rijeC) dobija nastavke za mnozinu.
Pri prevodenju slozenica najcesce (ne uvijek) pocinje se prevod posljednje rijeci, glavnog
pojma, pa tek onda njene odrednice iduci lInatrag prema prvoj rijeci. Primjeri ce pokazati
takav prevod slozenica: melting temperature (temperatura topljenja), shoe department
(odjel za prodaju cipela), desk drawer (Iadica stoIa), fire insurance company (firma za
osiguranje od pozara), cigar -shaped tube (cijev u obliku cigare). Medutim, eesto nije
moguc ovakav pristup prevodenju, pa treba prona!aziti druge nacine: kao opis, definisanje
i sl.
lzvjestan broj slozenica pisli se zajedno i njihova mnozina grad} se nastavcima:
an armchair - illJUcl:Hllrs.; a notebook - Dotebooks; a bookshelf -bookshelves itd
U ovim primjerima vidjet ce se gradenje mnozine kod slozenica, bez obzira da Ii su ona
sastavljene iz jedne iii 1Z vise rijeer.

istj su po obliku, ali po funkc\ji raz1i6iti. Umjesto nastavaka za razli6ite imenice, rod i
broj u engleskomjeziku upotrebljavaju se priiedlozi koii odreduju odnos imenice prema
drugim rijeCima u reCenici. Tako se dativ determinira upotrebom prijedloga: m...lill:..

III CLANOVI

Gmmatika engleskog jezika

Najfrekventnije rijeti u engleskomjeziku su clanovi. Gotovo da nema slozenih

recenica u kojima nije upotrijebljenjedan od clanova. To je dovoljan raziog da se upotrebi
odredenog i neodredenog clana posveeuje puna paznja na gotovo svim nivoima nastave
engleskog jezika.
Neodredeni clan ima dva oblika: a ian. Odredeni clan ima samo jedan obIik i zajedninu
i za mnozinu: the. Odredeni i neodredeni clan ne pokazuju rod, broj ni padez imenice
ispred koje stoje: oni same pokazuju da lije odgovarajtlea imenica vee ranije pomenuta,
da Ii govornik i slusalac (eitaIac) l! datom kontekstu spomenutu rijee podrazum~jevaju
vee definisanom, ranije pomenutom iIi ne.
U tOI11 pogledu, postoje znatne razlike od naseg jezika, jer nase odgovarajuce rijeei:
jedan,jcdna,jedno,jednoj,jednom itd, odnosno: taj, ta, to, ovaj, ova, ovo, ovima, ovom,
onoj itd. svojim nastavcima pokazuju rod broj i padez imenice ispred koje se upotrijebe,
Treba napomcnuti da se u pravilu ni odn~deni ni neQdredeni Clan ne prevode na naS
jezik, jer mi i uemamo provu zamjenu za njjh.

Upotreba neodredenog clana

Po svom porijeklu neodredeni clanje broj ali to znacenje gubi u mnogim okolnostima u
kojima se upotrebljava, iako ponekad i sada ima znacenje: jedanjedna,jedno itd. Oblik
a se upotrebljava ispred imenica koje pocinju sugJasnikom iii ispred imenica koje se
pisu pocetnim suglasnikom ali izgovaraju se pocetnim samoglasnikom. Tako se izgovara
i pise a university, a useful suggestion fl uniform>-. lako se ove rijeci piSu pocetnim
samoglasnikom. Oblik an se kazuje i piSe ispred rijeci koje se izgovaraju sa pocetnim
samoglasnikom: .arLQld man an evening flO orange an egg an aunt itd, ali an honest
man, an hour. Navedeni primjcri potvrduju da kriterij za upotrebu a iIi an nije kako se
neka rijet pise vee kako se onn izgovara: ( a.J1.!.J.iJ!.rsitv, ali an umbrella, an armchair
a house a hem ali-.C1!1 hone'i! mall all hOllr)
Neodredeni clan sc upotrebljava:
1. isprcd brojivih imenica u jednini kada se pominju prvi put:
Would you like fLQlUl of coffee?
Do you have a book?
There is a student waiting for you.
Is he ~ man?

IV PRJDJEVI

Gramatika eng/eskog jezika

Pridjevi su rijeCi kojc pebliie opisuju liea, stvari, mjesta, apstraktne pojrnove ~
ukratko ani se dodaju imcnicama cia ih preciznije odrede ili definisu. Pridjevi se i u
englcskom kao i u nasern jeziku mogu upotrijehiti atributivno (ispred imcnice) iIi
prcdikativno (kao dia predikataL I2D.b.r.o. dijetc, dobr<l djevojcica, dobar covjek, d.uhri
ljudi, dobra djeca, ~ djevojcice, dobrirn ljudima, dobrih Jjudi, itd. su sve atributivno
upotrijebljeni pridjevi jer stoje ispred imenica da odrede njihove osobine, karakteristike.
Ti isti pridjevi upotrijebljeni predikativno bi izgledali ovako: Dijete .Ie dobre. Djevojcica
.Ie ~ Ti svi Ijudi su dohri. itd. 06to .Ie da nasi atributivno i predikativno upotrijebljeni
pridjevi imaju razlicite nastavke zavisno od roda, broja i padeza irnenice ispred
koje stoje, odnosno kojirna su dodati kao dio predikata.
Bitna karakteristika engleskih pridjeva (kako atributivno, taka i predikativno
upotrijebljenih) ogleda se u cinjenici da engJeski pridjevi nernaju nikakvih nastavaka
bez obzira na rod broj i padez irnenica kojima su dodate. Od ovog pravila su sarno
izuzeti pokazni pridjevi koji irnaju razlicite ohOke za jedninu (this, that) i za rnnoZinu
(these those). To znacajno olaksava ucenje i usvajanje engleskih pridjeva: potrehno je
nauciti sarno njihova pojedinacna znacenja ali ne i oblike, posto su ani uvijek identicni
u svim mogucirn upotrebnim kombinacijama.
a lazy boy (girl)

Svojstvo (obiljezje) zastupljeno u vecoj mjeri (pozitivno iii negativno) izrazava se iIi
komparativom iii superlativom.

Poredenje pridjeva

1. Takozvano nulto poredenje u potvrdnom j odricnom obliku cine oblici pridjeva kada
se porede dvije pojave, dva svojstva itd. podjednakih iii veoma slicnih karakteristika i
vrijednosti. Ovakvo poredenje se upotrebljava i kada se porice postojanje veoma slicnih
iIi jednakih karakteristika i vrijednosti. Ovom vrstom poredenja se, dakle, potvrduje
jednakost iii neiednakost
Obrazac za nulto poredenje je: as + pridjev + as za potvrdni i not as + pridjev + as za
odrecni oblik.
John is as intelligent as. Peter.
Maria is !lQt ~ a student as. Azra.

dodati bilo kao atribut, bilo kao dio predikata (predikativ) izrazeno u najvecoj mogucoj
mjcri.

Superiativ jednosloinih i nekih dvosloinih pridjcva

Superlativ jednosloznih pridjeva i dvosloznih pridjeva na -CI; -ow, -Ie, -some, -y, te
nckih dvosloznih pridjeva sa naglaskol11 na prvom slogu tvore superlativ dodavanjem

Ispred superlativa pridjeva obavezno upotreb~java se odredeni clan, ako pridjevu ne
prethodi prisvojni pridjev: my, your, her, its, his, our, tbeir iIi pokazni pridjev this, that,
these, those iii jedan od glavnih brojeva (one, three, five, ten .. )
Kada se grade superlativi u pridjevu nastaju iste one promjene koje su pomenute uz

4. Nepravilna komparacija pridjeva

Izvjestan broj pridjeva ima takozvanu ncpravilnu komparaciju. Oni se ne porcde po
pravilima koja vaze za druge pridjeve pa se stoga kaie da imaju nepravilnu komparaciju.
Nepravilnost se ispoljava na razlicite nacine: mijenjanje osnove pridjeva, dva pridjeva
imaju iste komparative i superlative i stieno.

But those who were wounded had the least good luck.
PotrebllO je objasniti upotrebu nekih pridjeva koji imaju nepravilnu komparaciju i onih
koji imaju dvostruke komparative i (ili) dvostruke superlative da bi njihovi komparativi
i superJativi bili pravilno upotrebljavani.

V ZAMJENICE

Gramatika engleskog jezika

I:

U engleskom jeziku obieno govori se 0 tri vrste zamjenica: liene, prisvojne i

povratne. Druge vrste rijcCi, koje se u nasemjeziku uce kao zamjenice, mogu u engleskom
jeziku biti upotrijebljene kao zamjenice i kao pridjevi, pa ce biti obradene pod naslovom
Zamjenice iii prir!jevi.

Bitno obiljezje zamjenica jeste u tome da se one uvijek upotrebljavaju samostalno, da

ne mogu imati atributivna svojstva, tj. da se ne mogu koristiti kao atributi. Rijeci koje se
mogu upotrijebiti atributivno imaju funkcijll i obiljezja pridjeva, bez obzira kojoj vrsti
rijeCi formaIno pripadajll.

Licne zamjenice
Kad licnih zamjenica razlikujemo njihove eetiri karakteristike: rod broj vadei i lice
Nominativ Iicnih zamjenica: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they. Njihova funkcija u
recenici je subjekat ~ tj. vrsilac radnje. Ako je u recenici upotrijebljena jedna od licnih
zllmjenica u nominativu, ona ie najcesce (ne uvijek) upotrijebJjena na prvom mjestu u
reeenici.
Subjekat u eng!eskomjeziku ne moze se podrazumijevati, vee mora se uvijek upotrijebiti
zato $to fOlmalna obiljezja riieCi u okruZenju on morfoio$kom nivou a ni formalna
objUeZia zamjenica ne pokazuju dovoJjQO jasno koja je rijec subiekat u recenici
U nasem jeziku taj zahtjev ne mora biti zadovoijen, jer okruzenje uvijek polcazuje koja
je rijee subjekat. Ides Ii u skolu? (subjekat je ti) Idem u skolu., 0a); Idemo u skolu.,
(mi); Idete u skolu. (vi) . Formalna obiljezja rijeci U okruZenju oa morfoloskom nivou
ne ostavljaju nikakvu sumnju koja rijec (zamjenica) ima funkciju subjekta. To nije slucaj
sa engleskim jezikom pa se subjekat mora 1zri6to pomenuti.
We have just come back.
She will go with liS to work.
He will not come to the party.
We stayed at home yesterday.
They gave me some money yesterday.
It is a \vonderful experience.
Have you already called him?
[ really don't know that.
Akuzativ licnih zamjenica me, you, him, her, it, liS, you, them. One se upotrebljavaju
u funkciji direktnog objekta. Mec1utim, po svojoj formi akuzativ licnih zamjenica se ne
razlikuje od njjhovog datjva Drugim rijeCima jedni te 1sti oblici imajll dvostrukll
funkciju: funkciju direktnog i fllnkcijll indirektnog objekta. Dativ (indirektni objekat)
obicno se naznacava prepozicijama: (to, with itd.) koje oznacavajll njihovll funkciju,
ili glagolima koji zahtijevajll upotrebu indirektnog objekta.

Have you got any answer from him?
Will the teacher explain this rule to you?

He is waiting for us.

Please give that book to me.
No, but I got the answer from her.

Prisvojne zamjenice
Oblici prisvojnih zamjenica razlikuju se od prisvojnih pridjeva. Zamjenice imaju i
formalne karakteristike koje ih izdvajaju od drugih vrsta rijeCi, ali je oblik za trece lice
jednine muskog roda identican sa odgovarajucim prisvojnim pridjevol)1: mine, yours,
hers, his, its, ours, yours, theirs.
Prisvojne zamjenice uvijek se upotrebljavaju bez imenice; one zapravo zamjenjuju
odgovarajuce imenice.
That book must be yours.
That backpack is not mine. Probably it's hers.
This book must be his.

Mnoge nase zamjenice u engleskom jeziku klasifikuju se istovremeno i kao

pddjevi zato sto mogu biti upotrijebljeni ispred imenica kao njihovi atrihliti. One, dakle,
mogu imati elvostruku funkciju pa ih u engleskom jeziku tretiraju na elva nacina ovisno
ad konkrctne upotrebe: iii kao zamjenice ili kaD odgovarajuce pridjeve.
Zamjenice upotrebljavaju se samo predikativDo (kan din predikma) a aka se Ie iste

Something - nothing
Something upotrebljava se u potvrdnim i upitnim reeenicama. Prevodi se sa "nesto".ll
potvrdnim, "iSta" u upitnim recenicama. Zamjenjuje sarno predmete, ne i lica.

Potvrdne recenicc:

Everything - anything
Everything upotrebljava se u potvrdnim, upitnim i odricnim recenicama. Prevodi se

Potvrdnc rcccniee:
He is stubbom and he is convinced that he knows everything on this matter.
You should tell me everything you know about it.
She is v.ery curious and everything interests her.
Many people say: money is everything but I don't think so.
Evclything we had done then was quite wrong.
U pitne recenice
Did he really know evecything there was to know about that?
Shouldn't you tell me everything you know about it?
Does she really want to know eyer:ything?
Is money everything you need to be happy?
Was everything you had done then, wrong?

Odricne recenice
Of course, we cannot understand ever:ything we have just heard.
I think money is not everythillgJhat makes me feel happy.
o Everything cannot be repaired after this terrible aggression.
I shouldn't tell them everything I know about it.
Ocito je da veliki broj rijeCi moze u engleskom jeziku biti upotrijebljen u dvostrukoj
funkciji (ll funkciji zamjenica i u funkciji pridjeva) pa tu vazou Cinjenicll moramo imati
1I vidll kada prevodimo sa engleskog iii na engleski jezik.

VII PRILOZI

Gramatika engleskog jezika

'I

Prilozi su vrsta rijeCi koje su pridodate glagolima, pridjevima iIi drugim

prilozima da ih odrede, definisu (definiraju), da istaknu njihove osobine. U recenici:
"He will never forget this action" - n=je prilng i odreauje glagal (will forget). U
recenici: "They finished their job earlier than we did" - earlier je takode prilog ion
odreduje glagol: finished,
"You have 1illL many excuses" je primjer u kame prilog (ovdje 1QQ) odreduje pridjev
(many), U sljedeCim recenicama imamo isti slucaj: "IQQ few people have come to our
party" (too prilog odreduje pridjev few). This is llilt a difficult assignment. (negacija
not i sazeci -o't se smatraju prilozima premu klasifikaciji vrsta rijeci pa i ovdje
prilog not odreduje pridjev difficult. He is
tall. (Vel)' prilog ispred pridjeva tall).
U sljedecim recenicama potvrdit ce se da prilog maze odredivati (definisati) drugi
prilog.
"He spoke velY well." (VelY je prilog i odreauje drugi prilog: well).
"I have eaten quite enough." (Quite je prilog kao i enough koga quite poblize
odreauje.)
Please listen especially carefully to my explanation. (Especially je prilog ispred
priloga carefully da ga deftnise).
He is ill.l!!m completely prepared for his lecture. (Always prilog ispred priloga
completely)

Priloge mozerno podijeliti na viSe grupa.
a) za naCin: ~ somehow, perfectly, ooili:,~, fl=.tly. well, fus.!, hru:d.ll.ll.ikb',
gladly strongly, hililly, ~. =fully, ~, hl!ppjlx itd. Ovi prilozi odgovaraju na
pitanje how?
b) prilozi odredenog vrernena: today. noW yesterday tomorrow then. on Monday
mornjng in half an hour in the winter during breakfast. at noon. in the morning. at 7
o'clock itd. Ovi prilozi odgovaraju na pitanje when?

lip upstairs. inside at home at school in the middle of in the corner on the shelf on
the table itd. Ovi prilozi odgovaraju na pitanje where?

3. Poreaellje priloga
Prilozi porede se na isti nacin kao i pridjevi. Kompm',ativ priloga tvori se clodavanjem
nastavka -er, iii upotrehom priloga more ispred osnovnog oblika priloga. Prilozi
napravljeni od pridjeva dodavanjem nastavka -Iy postaju viSeslozni (izuzev priloga

186

early) pa stoga tvore komparativ kao i viSeslozni pridjevi. Earlyje u tom pogledu izuzetak
pa komparativ pravi nastavkom -cr.
Superlativ priloga tvori se isto leao i superlativ pridjeva pomoCli nastavka -est. ViSeslozni
prilozi i prilozi na -Iy tvore superlativ upotrebom priloga most. Izuzetakje prilog eaili
koji superlativ gradi nastavkom -est.

4. Identiciiost oblika priloga i pridjeva

a) Neki prilozi imaju identican oblik sa pridjevima. Upotreba imje razlicita,jer pridjevi
pojasnjavaju imenice a prilozi glagole, pridjeve i priloge.
Long. enough. hard. close. fast straight easy, late firm. direct far. early su rijeci koje
se bez ikakvih promjena oblika mogu upotrijebiti kao prilozi i kao pridjevi. Naravno,
funkcija u recenici im je razlicita.

5. Dvostruki oblik priloga

Ima nevelik broj priloga koji imaju po dva oblika od kojihje jedan identican sa pridjevom
a drugi napravljen pomocu nastavka -Iy. Cesto je kod takvih priloga znacenje razlicito
kad su im oblici razli6iti.

6. Mjesto priloga u recenici

Red rijeci u engleskoj reccnici ima izuzetan znacaj. Ponekad znacenje cijele rccenicc
moze biti dijametralno suprotno samo zato s10 se promijenio red rijeci. U tom sklopuje
vazno znati i mjesto priloga u recenici.
NateIno prilog trcba da bude sto je moguce blize rijeci koju odreduje i pojasnjava (sto
je mogucc blize glagolu, pddjevu i prilogu kome je pridodat). Ali to je samo opste
pravilo koje ne tjesava sve nedoumice oko pravilnog smjcstanja priloga u recenici.

a) Alw je u rcccnici upotrijcbljen prilog za nacin onda on stoji neposrcdno iza glagola

ako reCenica !lema direktni objckat.

g) Specificnosti

mjestu priloga

Relativno mali broj priloga ne sJijedi gornja pravila 0 mjestu njihove upotrebe. Po
tome Sll oni specificni pa ih je nllzno objasniti.
Enough upotrebljava se iza pridjeva i iza priloga.

I know him well el}Qjjgh,

He doesn't drive slowly euougb.

Kada se enough upotrebljava kao pridjev onda se upotrebljava ispred imenice koju
odreduje,
We bought enough meat for our barbecue
.. She never has enough time but she has enough energy
.. We had enough food

Only moze se upotrijebiti na vise mjesta u recenici ali znacenje cijele recenice zavisi od
mjesta na kome je only upotrijebljeu.
Qnbcl may ask him about it. (Samo ja ga smijem pitati i niko drugi),

Too moze imati dva razliCita mjesta u recenici. Ako se upotrebljava ispred pridjeva u

ispred pridjeva,
He is lllll short. She is really lllll smart to do slIch a stllpid thing,
Many books are 1lliLcxpensive.
Ako, medutim, .tQ.Q.... nije upotrijebljen ispred pridjeva da ga preciznije odredi, onda se

Also
Prilog also moze biti upotrijebljen ispred ali i iza glagola koji pojasnjava. Nijanse
znacenja cijele recenice zavise i od mjesta na kome je also upotrijebljen.
Als.o he is happy at the moment. (Takode i on je sretan ovog trenutka .. pored
drugih i on je sretan),
She can als.Qbe happy at the moment. (Ona takode maze biti i sretna, ali uz to i
zadovoljna i raspolozena i vesela, .. ovog trenutka),

We have ill.sQ been ta Paris. (Bili sma takode u Parizu ... pored drugil~ gradova).
(Znacenje zavisi ad naglasavanja rijeci) .
Vie al.iill. have been to Paris. Takade i mi S1110 bili u Parizu ... pored drugih !judi).
(Znacenje zavisi ad naglasavanja rijeci).

Pravilna upotreba priloga, oCito, nije jednostavna vee i stoga sto postoje prilozi sa
razlicitim formalnim obiljejima, prilozi koji su po [011111 identicni sa pridjevima ali
irnaju razlicite funkcije, prilozi sa dvostrukim oblicima, prilozi kod kojih znacenje
zavisi ad forme itd. Tome treba dodati i povelike poteskoee u vezl sa pravilnim
odabiranjem mjesta priloga u recenici.

Glavne brojeve od jedan do dvanaest mora se nauciti napamct. Od trinest do devctnest

brojevi se grade dodavanjem nastavka -tcen na odgovarajuci broj. ledini izuzetak je
broj petnaest, jer on se ne moze graditi na pomenuti na6in: broj petnaest dozivljava
odredene promjene, pa mu se ooda doda nastavak -teen.
Nacelno, redni brojevi od glavnih prave se dodavanjem nastavka -th na glavni broj,
ali od tog pravila ima i nekih izuzetaka. Redni brojevi the first, the second, the third
odstupaju od pravila 0 tvorbi rednih brojeva pa ih treba posebno zapamtiti. To isto vazi
i za os1ale podvucene redne brojeve: the Hfth, the ninth, the twelfth koji su doduse
nastali pomocu nastavka :ilL ali u bl'Oju oa koji se taj nastavak dodaje nastaju neke
dl1lge promjene. Brojevi five i twelve u rednom broju mijeoj;:~u -ve u -f, zatim dobiju
nastavak -tho Nine gubi -e u rednom broju (the ninth). Eight dobija u rednom broju
sarno nastavak -h. (the eighth)
Pred svim rednim brojevima' obavczna jc upotreba odredenog clana ako pred njim
ne postoji neka druga odrednica (kao na primjer prisvojni pridjev my, his, our) itd.
Our first visit, his second child, my fifth chance itd).

Glavni brojevi ad dvadeset do devedeset tvore se dodavanjem nastavka -ty na

odgovaraju6u deselicu. Pri tome podvuceni glavni brojevi dozivljavaju nckc promjene
u odnosu na bazni broj od koga su nastalc. Glavni broj fortx.-gubi u U odnosu na fou[ i
fourteen.
Redni brojevi od dvadeset do devedeset prave se dodavanjem nastavka -cth ali se
prethodno y promijeni u i,jer mu prethodi suglasnik. Podvuceni redni brojevi sadric
neke izuzetke pa ih treba posebno pamtiti.

the three hundredth itd.
the three hundred and twenty- first
the three hundred and fiftieth
the thousandth

the millionth.

Kad se slozeni brojevi Citaju iii usmcno izgovaraju koristi se rijec and i.\jJred desetica,
a ako njih nema onda se to and govori ispred jedillica.
Ako sc ispred rijeci hundred thousruld i million upotriiebi neki broj (two, three five itd.)
onda se na te tri pomenute imenice u mnozini ne dodaje nastavak s.
(Two hundred dollars, six thousand and thirty pieces itd.). U tim okolnostima imenica
koja slijedi iza pomenutih brojeva dobija nastavak -so

Izrazi a hundred, a thousand, a million se najcesee llpotrebljavaju umjesto: one hundred,

one tholHiand, one million.
Ako se hllndred thousand million upotrijebe u mnozini II smis\u stotine, hiljademilioni,
dodaj e im se nastavka -8 kao i drugim imenicama u mnozini. Iza tih brojeva (hundreds,
thousands, millions) obavezna je upotreba prijedloga of.
(hundreds of students, thousands of books, millions of dollars).
Prilikom pominjanja godine u kojoj se nesto dogodilo uobicajeno je da se ne kazuje
imenica thousand vee se umjesto toga kazuju stotine. Tako se godine ]941, 1992 itd.
citaju (kazuju): in njneteen Olllndred and) forty one: in njnel'een (hundred and) ninety
two.
Ispred broja hundred upotrcbJjava sc prijcdlog "'in" kad se bro,icm iskazuju godinc.
Cesto, u govoru izostavi se imenica hundred pa se samo kaze: in nineteen forty one: in
nineteen ninety two ali ] 900. se mora kazati in nineteen hundred, dalde hundred se ne
moze izostaviti jer bi tada smisao bio promijenjen.

Datume treba iskazati najedan od elva naeina:

a) November the twenty fifth ( mjesec + the + redni broj)
b) The twenty fifth of November. (the + redni broj + of + mjesec)
Uobjajeuo ie pisati datume May 1st.; May 2 nd ; May 3 rd May 4th itd. ili jednostavno:
May I. May 2. May 3, May 4, May 10 itd.

Brojevi za ponavljanje: jecinom, dvaput, trip lit, cetiri puta, pet puta itd kazu se: once.
twice. three times. four tjmes. five times itd. Dakle broju se doda djee times iZllzev u
once i twice
Svakako je potrebno nauciti kazivati i Citati raziomke, decimalne brojeve, i OSllOVne
racullske radnje.

o se ita kao zero. ili kao 0 (01l1

Kad se 0 nalazi u sklopu broja koji se odnosi ns
