In the widest sense, grammar is the complex set of relations. Grammar isa device that specifies the infinite set of well-formed sentences and assigns to each of them one or more structural descriptions. Grammar may be practical and theoretical. The aim of practical grammar is the descriptiption of grammar rules that are necessary to understand and formulate sentences, Theoretical ideals with the language as a complex func. tional system, The grammatical structure of language comprises two major parts — morphology and syntax. ‘The two areas are obviously independent and together they constitute the study of grammar. a Morphology deals with pragmatic and syntagmatic properties of mor- phological units — morphemes and words. Itis concerned with the internal structure of words and their relationship to other words and word forms within the paradigm. Morphology studies the morphological categories and their realization. | MORPHOLOGY > UNIT 1. THE NOUN § 1. General Information ‘The noun is a word expressing substance in the widest sense of the word. There are four kinds of nouns in English: ‘Common nouns: dog, man, table Proper nouns: France, Madrid, Mrs, Smith, Tom Abstract nouns: beauty, charity, courage, fear, joy Collective nouns: crowd, flock, group, team “The noun has the following morphological characteristics: 1. Nouns that can be counted have two numbers: singular and plural (a girl — girls) 2. Nouns denoting living beings (and some nouns denoting lifeless things) have two case forms: the com- mon case and the genitive case. 3. In Modern English grammatical category of gender is hardly ever expressed by means of grammatical forms 4. A noun can also be in a possessive case, (Tom’s books) “The noun has certain syntactical characteristics. The chief syntactical function of the noun in the sentence is that of the subject and the object. Eg: — Tomarrived. (the subject of the sentence) saw Tom. (the object of the sentence) It may also be used as an attribute or a predicative. Eg: Tom likes winter holidays. (an attribute) ‘Tom is an actor, (a predicative) A noun preceded by a preposition (a prepositional phrase) may be used as an attribute, prepositional indi- rect object, and adverbial modifier. Ege: The center of the town is very beautifl (an attribute) ‘The teacher explained to the students (prepositional indirect object) some difficult rules, ‘The teacher comes into the classroom at 8 o'clock. (adverbial modifier) ‘The noun is generally associated with the article. In some cases only articles can show that the word is noun. ‘Anoun can be modified by an adjective, a pronoun, or by another noun. Bg: — Tomisagood student (modified by an adjective) This is his book. (modified by pronoun) He has no winter coat. (modified by another noun) § 2. The Category of Number English countable nouns have two numbers — singular and plural. 1. The plural of a noun is usually made by adding -s to the singular; -s is pronounced in different ways: [2] after voiced consonants and vowels: days, dogs; {s] _afier voiceless consonants: caps, texts, books; [iz] when--sis placed after -ce, -ge, -e,-2e (an extra syllable is added to the spoken word): houses, bridges, places. 2. Nouns ending in -0 or -ch, -sh, -8s, -x form their plural by adding -es: tomato— tomatoes brush — brushes church— churches box — boxes cargo — cargoes potato — potatoes 3. But words of foreign origin or abbreviated words ending in -o add -s only: Eg: dynamo —dynamos —_ kimono — kimonos piano — pianos kilo — kilos photo — photos soprano — sopranos solo — solos portfolio — portfolios ‘When -es is placed after -ch, -sh, -s8 or -x an extra syllable ({iz]) is added to the spoken word. 4. Nouns ending in -y following a consonant form their plural by dropping the y and adding ies Eg: baby—babies country—countries fly — flies Nouns ending in -y following a vowel form their plural by adding -s: Bg: — boy—boys day — days donkey — donkeys 5, Nouns ending in -f or -fe drop the -f or -fe and add -ves: Eg: calf—calves half — halves knife — knives life — lives leaf—leaves believe — believes. loaf — loaves self—selves sheaf — sheaves shelf — shelves thief — thieves wife — wives wolf — wolves, ‘The nouns hoof, scarf and wharf take either -8 or -ves in the plural: Eg: hoofsorhooves —scarfsor scarves wharfs or wharves Other words such as dwarf, giraffe, muff, proof, sheriff, elf, plaintiff tariff ending in -f/-fe add -s in the or dinary way: Bg: — dliff—cliffs handkerchief — handkerchiefs __safe — safes 6. A few nouns form their plural by vowel change: Eg: foot—feet mouse—mice — woman— women ox —oxen man—men goose—geese tooth —teeth child — children brother — brethren louce —lice 7. Nouns ending in -th add -s only: Eg: —bath—baths oath — oaths path — paths smith—smiths month—months myth — myths, 8, In some nouns the plural form does not differ from the singular one: Eg: deer sheep —swine_— fish — trout — fruit 9. In compound nouns the plural is formed in different ways. Normally the last word is made plural: Eg: boy-friends —travelagents.—_lady-bird — lady-birds But where man and woman are prefixed both parts are made plural: Eg: mendrivers women drivers ‘Some compound nouns form the plural by adding -s to the head-word: | Eg. editor-in-chief — editors-in-chief brother-in-law — brothers-in-law looker-on —lookers-on If there is no noun-stem in the compound, -s is added to the last element: Eg: forget-me-not — forget-me-nots merry-go-round — merry-go-rounds 10. Initials can be made plural by edding -s Eg: MPs (Members of Parliament) OAPs (old age pensioners) UFOs (unidentified flying objects) VIPs (very important persons) 11. Words with the meaning of garments, tools, and instruments consisting of two parts are always plural and take a plural verb. Translate these words into Ukrainian, Eg: breeches, binoculars pants, pliers Pyjamas. scissors, = trousers spectacles As well as some other words: Eg: — police pains (trouble / effort) arms (weapons), earnings goods savings wares outskirts clothes premises valuables, surroundings greens (vegetables) stairs 12. Some words with the meaning of certain diseases and games are plural in form but singular in meaning: Eg: mumps billiards _ rickets darts. shingles, draughts bowls, news, dominoes, Itis interesting to know ‘A.

Some types of fish do not normally change in plural: carp pike salmon trout cod plaice turbot mackerel but if used in a plural sense they would take a plural verb. Others add -s: crabs herrings sardines eels lobsters, sharks C. Sportsmen who shoot duck, partridge, pheasant, etc. use the same form for singular and plural, but other people normally add -s for the plural: ducks, partridges, pheasants. also possible: ‘The word game, used by sportsmen to mean an animal / animals hunted, is always in singular, and takes a singular verb.

The road to ruin ‘The M25, the motorway around London, opened in 1986. Today people call it the biggest car park in Eu- rope. Every morning on the radio we hear about jams, and road repairs, and crashes, and which parts of the ‘M25 to avoid. One day soon we will hear “There isa traffic jam all the way round the M25 in both directions. Ifyou are driving to work, we advise you to go back home.’ ‘Winston Churchill described the car as the curse of the twentieth century. This will probably be true of the next century, too. It can be very funny to compare advertisements for cars with the reality of driving them. Cars are symbols of freedom, wealth, and masculinity. But when you are stuck in a traffic jam, all cars are just little metal boxes to sit in. Cities and towns all over the world have a huge problem, and no government really knows what to do. For ‘once it is not a matter of technology which is stopping us. If we want to build two-level roads, we can do it. If we want trains which can travel at hundreds of miles an hour, we can build them. The problem is a ques tion of principle. Should we look to road or rail for our transport needs? Should the government, or private companies, control them? And either way, who should pay? ‘The people who believe in roads say that cars represent a personal choice to travel when and where you want to. But on trains and busses — public transport — you have to travel when the timetable says you can. "These people think that if you build more roads, the trafic will move more quickly, but research shows that if there are more roads, there will be more cars to fill them. Inthe next decade, the number of cars on our roads will double, Environmentalists are saying that we should put more money into public transport. Cars often carry just one person. Ifthe public transport system works, more people will use it, If trains carry more people, the roads won't be so crowded, and cars pollute the air more than trains. ‘One characteristic of the people of our century is that we are a race on the move. But itis just possible that soon we won't be able to move another inch, and we will have to stay exactly where we are! 13 | Exercise 6.

Countable and Uncountable Nouns ‘Nouns can be divided into countable and uncountable. A countable noun is one that can be counted: Eg.: book — one book, two books, three books, four books, student — one student, two students, three students, person — one person, two people, three people, ... child — one child, two children, three children, ... Countable nouns may be preceded by a/an in the singular and they take a final -s/-es in the plural. Uncountable nouns are also known as non-count nouns or mass nouns. An uncountable noun is one that } cannot be counted: Eg milk — you cannot say one milk, two milks, Uncountable nouns are not immediately preceded by a/an and have no plural form. Many non-count nouns refer to a ‘whole’ that is made up of different parts: Eg: furniture — represents a whole group of things that is made up of similar but separate items sugar — represent whole masses made up of individual particles or elements It is possible, however, to count some uncountable nouns if the substance is placed in a countable con- tainer: Ey glass of milk — one glass of milk, two glasses of milk, ... It is very important to know if a noun is countable or uncountable. It helps to avoid mistakes. To decide if noun that you are not sure of is countable or uncountable, decide if you can say: one____ ora For example, you can say ‘one book’so it isa countable noun. You cannot say “one money’ s0 itis uncount able noun. The following nouns are considered uncountable: 1. Names of substances considered generally: | Eg: — bread gold wine cloth cream wood gin soap butter stone coffee ice jam paper beer water | oil glass tea dust | 2. Many abstractions: | pity horror advice experience | fear death beauty information relief ‘mercy courage suspicion | help work hope knowledge 3. Also considered uncountable in English: Eg: baggage camping weather shopping luggage parking damage furniture 4. Languages: Eg: Arabic Chinese English Spanish 5. Fields of stud) Eg: chemistry engineering history mathematics literature psychology 6. Recreations: Eg: baseball ‘soccer tennis chess bridge 7. Activiti Eg: — driving studying swimming _tavelling 16 8, Natural phenomena: Ege Uncountable nouns are always singular and are not used with a/an: Eg. ‘These nouns are often preceded by some, any, no, ali Ege fog hail heat humidity rain thunder sunshine —_lightning snow sleet darkness electricity She doesn’t want any advice or help. She needs (some) information. Thave no experience in this sort of work. le, etc. or by nouns such as bit, piece, abit of news agrain of sand a drop of oil a pane of glass a sheet of paper a cup of coffee apiece of advice apiece of chalk It is interesting to know ‘A. Many of the nouns in the above groups can be used in a particular sense and are then countable. They can take a/an in the singular and can be used in the plural. Some examples are given below. Eg: Eg: hair — all the hair on one's head is considered uncountable, but if we consider each hair sepa- rately, we say one hair, two hairs, ete. Her hair is black. Whenever she finds a grey hair she pulls it out. ‘We drink tea, coffe, beer, but we can ask for a (cup of) tea / coffee, a (glass of) beer, ete. We drink wine, but we enjoy a good wine. We can walk in a wood / woods. experience — meaning ‘something which happened to someone’ is countable: He had an exciting experience / some exciting experiences. The word time can be either countable or non-countable depending on the context. When it ‘means an occasion, it is countable. When it means a number of hours, days, years, etc. itis non- countable: We have spent too much time on this homework. (non-count) She has been late for the class six times this semester. (countable) B. Some abstract nouns can be used in a particular sense with a/an: ahelp: My children are a great help to me. A good map would be a help. arelief: Eg: Itwasareliefto sit down. aknowledge of Eg: She had a good knowledge of mathematics. alove / hatred of: Eg: —alove of music a hatred of violence pity / a shame can be used with that-clause introduced by it: Eg. Ttsa pity you weren't here. It’sa shame he wasn't paid. It-+ be + a pity / shame + infinitive is also possible: Bg: Tt would be a pity to cut down these trees 7 ee a fear / fears, a hope / hopes, a sus ‘These can be used with that-clauses introduced by there: Eg: There isa fear | There are fears that he has been murdered. We can also have a suspicion that... Something can arouse a fear / fears, a hope / hopes, a suspicion / suspicions. €. Collective nouns crew, family, team, etc., can take a singular or a plural verbs singular if we consider the word to mean a single group or unit: 2g. Our team is the bes oor plural if we take it to mean a number of individuals: ‘Our team are wearing their new T-shirts. ‘When a possessive adjective is necessary, a plural verb with their is more usual than a singular verb with its, though sometimes both are possible: ‘The jury is considering its verdict. ‘The jury are considering their verdict. § 4. The Category of Case Case is the form of the noun indicating the relations of the noun (or pronoun) to the other words in the sentence. ‘There are two cases of nouns in English: the Common Case and the Possessive/ Genitive Case. English nouns denoting living beings (and some nouns denoting lifeless things) have two cases: the Com mon Case which has no special case endings and the Possessive / Genitive Case which has the case ending with singular and plural nouns not ending in ‘The Common Case. The Common Case is an uninflected form so the relation of the noun in the Common Case to other words in the sentence is indicated by its position and by means of prepositions (to, for; by, with, of Eg. Toften write letters to my sister. We have a present for you. ‘The novel is written by a famous writer. like writing with a pencil. ‘The cover of the book attracted my attention, ‘Anoun in the Common Case with the preposition to or for may express the relations which are expressed by the Ukrainian Dative Case. The combination of a noun in the Common Case with the preposition of expresses the relations which are expressed by the Ukrainian Genitive Case. A noun in the Common Case preceded by prepositions by or with may express the relations which are expressed by the Ukrainian Instrumental Case. ‘The Possessive / Genitive Case. ‘We normally use ~’s for people or animals: Eg: thegitl’sname the horse’s tail Mr Evan's daughter awoman’shat the manager's office __Sarah’s eyes ‘Where is the managers office? (not ‘the office of the manager’) What colour are Sarah's eyes? (not ‘the eyes of Sarah’) “The Possessive / Genitive Case is formed by adding ”’s (the apostrophe s) to the noun in the singular and to the plural form not ending in Eg: aman'sjob the people's choice woman's intuition women’s clothes child’s toy children’s toys oe (the apostrophe) is added to plural form ending in -s: Eg: the students’ hostel a boys’ school 18 ‘Classical names ending in -s usually add only the apostrophe: Eg. Pythagoras’ Theorem Archimedes’ Law Other names ending in -s can take -’s or the apostrophe alone: Eg: Mr. Jones's (or Mr. Jones’) house is very comfortable. Dickens’ (or Dickens's) novels are popular. ‘With compounds, the last word takes the ~’s Eg: Mybrother-in-law’s car is expensive. ‘Names consisting of several words are treated similarly: Eg: Henrythe Fight’s wives the Prince of Wales's helicopter scan also be used after initials: Eg: the MP’sbriefcase the VIP's escort ‘When the Possessive / Genitive Case is used, the article before the person or thing ‘possessed’ disappears: Eg: the daughter or the politician = the politician's daughter the invention of America = America’s invention the plays of Shakespeare = Shakespeare's plays As to its use, the Possessive / Genitive Case falls into: © the Dependent Geni © the Absolute Genitiv “The Dependent Genitive is used with the noun it modifies and comes before it. Eg: men’s work a child’s voice It is used in some set expressions: Eg: for heaven's God's) sake to one’s heart’s delight at one’s wit's end astone’s throw ‘The Absolute Genitive may be used without any noun or be separated from the noun it modifies: Eg: — Youcan buy itat the chemist’. She is going to the dentist's. We had dinner at my granny’s, (at my gram ’s house) Note that we say a woman’s hat (= a hat for a woman), a boy's name (a name for a boy), a bird's egg (an egg laid by a bird), etc. For things, ideas, etc, we normally use of (... of the book/ ... of the restaurant, etc.) g, the door of the garage (not the garage’s door) the name of the book the owner of the restaurant We normally use of (not noun + noun) with the beginning / end / top / bottom / front / back / middle / side, etc. E, the back of the car (not ‘the car back’) the beginning of the month You can usually use ’s or of for an organization (=a group of people) Eg. the government's decision or the dec »n of the government the company’s success or the success of the company Itis also possible to use ~’s for places. You can say: Eg: thecity’snew theatre the world’s population _ Italy's largest city You can also use -’s with time expressions (yesterday / next week, etc.) Eg. Have you still got yesterday's paper? Next week's meeting has been cancelled. 19 In the same way you can also say today’s / tomorrow's / this evening’s / Monday's, etc. We also use -’s (or -’s with plural words) with periods of time: Eg: — Pve gota week’s holiday starting on Monday. Jill has got three weeks’ holiday. I live near the station — it’s only about ten minutes’ walk. Itis interesting to know |A. The Possessive Case is chiefly used when talking of people, countries or animals as shown above. It can also be used when talking of ships and boats (the ship’s bell); of planes, trains, cars and other vehicles, though the “of construction” isused more often (a glider’s wings or the wings ofthe glider: the train's heating system or the heating system of the train); in time expressions (a week’s holiday, today’s paper, ten minutes’ break, two hours’ delay), though a one-week holiday, a ten-minute break, a two-hour delay are also possible. B. We can say either a winter’s day or a winter day and a summer's day or a summer day, but we can not make spring or autumn possessive, except when they are personified: Autumn's return, Names of owners of some business can be used in the possessive case without the second noun: Sotheby's, McDonald’. some well: known shops call themselves by the possessive forms and some drop the apostrophe: Foyles, Harrods. C. Nouns can be used as modifiers. When a noun is used as a modifier, it is in its singular form: Eg: The soup has vegetables in it. — Itis a vegetable soup. “The building has offices in it. — It is an office building, When a noun used as a modifier is combined with a number expression, the noun is singular anda hyphen (is used: Eg ‘The test lasted two hours. — It was a two-hour test. Her daughter is four years old. — She has a four-year old daughter. § 5. The Category of Gender It is doubtful whether the grammatical category of gender exists in Modern English, for it is hardly ever expressed by means of grammatical forms. There is practically only one gender-forming suffix in Modern English, the suffix -ess, expressing the feminine gender. Itis not widely used. Eg: _ heir —heiress lion — lioness poet — poetess conductor — conductress actor — actress ‘manager — manageress waiter — waitress steward — stewardess host — hostess tiger — tigress But nowadays -person is used instead of -man, -woman: salesperson, spokesperson, salesman (saleswoman) ‘We can divide the words into three groups according to the things they denote / objects they name: Masculine: men, boys and male animals (pronoun he/they) Feminine: women, girls, female animals (pronoun she/they) ‘Neuter: inanimate things, animals whose sex we don’t know and sometimes babies whose sex we don't know (pronoun it/they) Exceptions: ships and sometimes cars and other vehicles when regarded with affection or respect are con- sidered feminine. Countries when referred to by name are also considered feminine. 20 can ugh nor not sof ell- en Bg: The ship struck an iceberg, which tore a huge hole in her side. Scotland lost many of her bravest men in two great rebellions. Masculine / feminine nouns denoting people have different forms: Eg: —boy—girl gentleman — lady nephew — niece bridegroom — bride son — daughter king — queen husband — wife bachelor — spinster prince — princess man — woman widower —widow duke — duchess father — mother uncle — aunt earl — countess Some main exceptions are: Eg: — baby infant relative child parent spouse cousin relation teenager ‘The majority of nouns indicating occupation have the same form: E artist cook driver assistant dancer doctor Domestic animals and many of the larger wild animals have different forms: Eg: bull—cow — duck—drake stag — doe cock—hen gander — goose stallion — mare Exercises Exercise 1. Add final -s/-es to the italicized noun if necessary. Do not add, omit, or change any other words. Model: Jackie has brown hair and gray eyes.

General Information |. Uses of the Passive Voice In fluent English the Passive Voice occuts s Active into Passive. ‘The Passive Voice is sometimes chosen in preference to the Active Voice especially when a speaker does not ‘want to commit himself to opinions, actions or statements of fact of which they are not completely certain, ‘We use the Passive Voice: 1) when it is more convenient or important to stress the thing done than the doer of it. Bg This task was done. (It is much more usual in English than: they did this task) ‘The room is cleaned twice a week. 2) when we have forgotten or don’t know exactly who did the action. Eg: — Wewere told that.. He is being met at the station. Passives without agents are common in accident and scientific writing for this reason, 3) when the subject of the active verb would be ‘people’. Eg: Sheis suspected to be guilty. (People suspect her...) He is supposed to be working at ‘Avon’ company. (People supposed that he works...) 4) where other European languages might prefer an indefinite pronoun subject like one, Eg: The agreement has to be signed. ‘This news is heard everywhere 5) to avoid an awkward or ungrammatical sentence, It is usually done by avoiding a change of subject Eg: When we were in the country my granny looked after the dog t When we were in the country the dog was looked after by my granny. 6) for psychological reasons. The speaker may know who performed the action but want to avoid telling the name. Eg: This cake has been eaten! In passive sentence the agent or doer of the action is very often not mentioned, When the agent is men- tioned, itis preceded by the preposition by. Eg: — Mr. Smith wrote this article. (Active) This article was written by Mr. Smith. (Passive) Note: The use of by must be limited. tis used only when the active subject is necessary for complete sense. Agents are mentioned in only about 20 per cent of passive clauses. After the Past Participle of some stative verbs (§ 12 — Present Progressive Active), including some which are used like adjectives, other prepositions can be used instead of by. Eg: ‘They were worried about (by) his behavior. We are frightened of rats, ‘The preposition with is used when we talk about an instrument which is used Eg: —_Ttwas written with a pencil, Passives without mentioning the agent are common in academic and scientific writing for this reason. We often prefer to begin a sentence with some facts that are already known, or that we are already talking about. spontaneously and naturally without a conscious change from byan agent to do an action. Ba Intl sive ing inte the for In this case we place new information at the end of the sentence. This is another reason for choosing the Pas- sive Voice which includes agents. Eg: — She was writing a letter (Active verb so that new information about, a letter, can go to the end) ‘twas written by Kelly. (Passive verb so that new information about, the writer can goto the end) Itis important to stress the fact that it’s wrong to consider the Passive Voice to be another way of express- ing a sentence in the Active Voice. Most sentences that are good in the Active Voice are just funny when put into the Passive Voice. Eg: — Peterlikes sweets. But: Sweets are liked by Peter. (In English it sounds funny) ‘Note: The tenses of the Passive Voice are used according to the same rules as the corresponding tenses of the Active Voice. I, Form of the Passive Voice You cannot express an idea in the Passive Voice without using an auxiliary verb to be. ‘The Passive Voice is formed by means of the auxiliary verb to be with the notional verb in the third form — the Past Participle. ‘The general formula is: CE) stores, CB) mores, ‘The forms of the Passive Voice are given in the Appendix 16. Ill, Some intransitive verbs may not be passive. ‘They are: become, get, have, lack, et, ike, resemble, suit, fall, fit (in the meaning ‘to be the right size’) But: 1. Get sometimes may be used instead of be in the Passive Voice. When: ‘© we want to talk about things that happen suddenly ot by accidents Eg: — Hisleg got broken in an accident; © we talk about things that people do to themselves. Eg: — Achild got combed in a hurry. 2, Have (get) something done indicates a service for somebody by someone else or something bad that happens to somebody or something. Eg: — Hehad his hair cut. She got her leg broken. Some intransitive verbs with prepositions (phrasal verbs) are used in the Passive Voice. ‘They are: agree upon laugh at arrive at object to care for operate on (for sth) comment on rely on (relied) depend on refer to (referred) dream of provide for insist on speak of about listen to send for ook at think of look after wait for ‘The preposition is used after the verb in the Passive Voice. But we translate such sentences into Ukrainian starting with the preposition, Eg This doctor is often sent for. — Jlikaps vacro pirkassxaiors, (3a nixape acto nocunators) This novel is much spoken of. — [po powsax 6aravo ronopsr, Itis interesting to know Many verbs (give, send, lend, show) can be followed by two objects — a direct object and indirect one. These usually refer to a thing (direct object) and to a person (indirect object) In this case two passive structures are possible, Eg: Hewastold some information about the conference. Some information about the conference was told to him, The choice between two passive structures may depend on what has been said before, or on what needs to be put last in the sentence. Some verbs (build, cut, close, pack) refer to actions that produce a finished result. Others (live, carry, hit, push, speak) do not. The Past Participles of finished-result verbs and some of their passive tenses can have two ‘meanings. They can refer to the action or they can describe the result ‘The monument was built ten years ago. (refers to the action of building) ‘When we came to the park we found that the monument was built (refers to state of being built — the result of the action) Because of this, the Present Simple Passive forms can have similar meanings to the Present Perfect Passives. Eg: The monument has already been built § 25. Translation of Passive Constructions from English into Ukrainian English active verbs might be translated by passive or reflexive verbs in certain other languages, and some English passives might be translated by active or reflexive verbs. Eg: German is spoken here. My sister was born in 2003. Some verbs can be used in both active and passive forms with similar meaning (to drown — to be drowned; to worry — to be worried) Sometimes active and passive infinitives can be used with very similar meanings: Bg: There was much work to do (to be done) ‘The passive verb-forms are translated into Ukrainian: 1) by verbs with the particle -ox (-cw); Egi The building of a new modern school was being finished at that time. B roit vac saxisraynanoca GyaivaxtTB0 Kono! cysacnoi mom. 2) by combinations of the verb 6ymu with predicative verbal forms ending in -10, -mo; Eg. This book was written in 1967. Lo xxury 6yno Hancano » 1967 pout 436 da to a 3) by combinations of the verb 6ymu with Past Participle Passive (nienpuxaerix nacusHoro crany smusnynoro acy); Eg: The National Aviation University was founded in 1933. Hauionanunit anianiiinni yninepcurer Gys sacnonanni » 1933 poui. 4) by verbs in the Active Voice in indefinite-personal sentences; Eg: This book is much written about. TIpo mmo xitury Gararo memyre. 5) if the subject of the action of a passive construction indicated, the English Passive Voice may be ren- dered in Ukrainian by the verb in the Active Voice in a definite-personal sentence. Eg: These pills were found by a little boy. Ui nirynes snaiimon manenbxnii x10n4HK. Exercises @ Exercise 1. Answer the questions. 1. When were you asked by your teacher? 2.

They fixed it in a posi- tion about 2.5em below the level of the water in the flask. They did this to show how the pump was drawing the air through the apparatus, and to condense and dissolve as much material as possible. “They placed the flask in a large bowl of water to improve the condensation effect. They turned the filter pump on and adjusted it to give a slow stream of air through the apparatus, then they lit the cigarette, Imme- diately the vacuum produced by the pump filled the apparatus with fumes from the cigarette, Just behind the cigarette, they saw a yellow, oily liquid condense. By the time the apparatus had “smoked” half the cigarette, the fumes had stained the previously white cotton wool a pale yellow. By the time it had “smoked! it completely, the fumes had stained the wool deeply, and had deposited some tarry material on the tube. ‘The apparatus “smoked” three cigarettes in this way. “The wool was now dark brown and the fumes had deposited a large quantity of brown tar on the tube. ‘The “water was brownyellow ang flecks of insoluble yellow material were floating on it. They tested it, and found that it was slightly alkaline. The gas in the flask smelt horrible, They then replaced the “holder” by a clean piece of glass and fresh cotton wool, and the apparatus “smoked” another cigarette, this time complete with filter tip. They then compared the two pieces of cotton wool. The filter tip had definitely reduced the staining effect, but only by 10-20%, “The experiment strongly impressed the children, and many of them said that after watching the experi- ment, they didn't want to smoke any more. “The children’s teacher wrote a report of the experiment, which was published in a newspaper. Naturally, he wrote it in the usual impersonal style that we use for technical and scientific description. Here it is. Can you complete it?
