Upotreba clanova ispred geografskih pojmova u engleskom jeziku

Sećate li se posta Najbolji sajt za učenje vremena u engleskom jeziku.

Tada sam vam preporučila sajt Perfect English Grammar. I moram da
vas pohvalim, kontaktirala me jeSeonaid, prijatno iznenađena Vašom
posetom i vremenom, koje ste posvetili vežbama na sajtu. Zato smo se
dogovorile da Seonaid bude gost urednik i napiše post specijalno za vas.
Uz to je pripremila i dve vežbe, opet samo za vas :-). Pošto je upotreba
članova, nešto što nije tipično za srpski jezik, odlučile smo se za tu temu.
Dajem reč Seonaid – Guest Post from Perfect English Grammar:
We use articles (‘a’ or ‘an’, ‘the’, and ‘no article’) in quite complicated
ways in English. There are a few rules, but often (especially for proper
nouns like the names of places or people) it’s not very logical – sorry!
Today, I’ll talk about one situation where students often mistakes with
English articles – geographical names (like mountains, lakes, countries
and seas).
Upotreba članova ispred geografskih pojmova je veoma komplikovana,(ne
prevodim vam, sve ste razumeli, samo se preslišavamo), nije logična, zato
je najbolje vežbati kroz primere.
We usually use either ‘the’ or ‘no article’ when we talk about
geographical names.
We use ‘the’ with:
• Rivers I visited the Nile.
• Deserts She rode across the Sahara.
• Oceans and seas They flew across the Pacific.
We use ‘no article’ with:
• Lakes We sailed on Lake Ontario.
• Continents She travelled through Asia.
• Regions and states I went to California.
• Cities, towns and villages They come from Belgrade.
Evo i izuzetaka – određen član the se koriste ispred više ostrva ali ne i
ispred pojedinačnih.
Two strange cases:
We use ‘the’ with groups of islands BUT we use ‘no article’ with one
island:

• She is on holiday in the Canary Islands (a group of islands)

• I went to Majorca (one island)
Isti slučaj je sa planinama, the se koristi ispred naziva planinskih venaca
ali ne i ispred pojedinačnih planina.
In the same way, we use ‘the’ with mountain ranges BUT we use ‘no
article’ with one mountain:
• We walked through the Alps (a mountain range)
• I climbed Mount Everest (one mountain)
Finally: countries
We use ‘no article’ with most countries:
• They live in Poland
But we use ‘the’ if the country’s name is plural:
• the Philippines
• the Netherlands
• the United States
Or, if the country has the word ‘kingdom’ or ‘republic’ in it:
• the United Kingdom
• the Republic of Ireland
(This means some countries take ‘the’ with their full name ‘the Republic of
China’ but not with their normal, shorter name ‘China’)
Kada su države u pitanju, obično se ne koristi određeni član, sem kada su
u pitanju države, čiji je naziv u pluralu ili u nazivu imaju odrednicu
republika ili kraljevstvo.
Practice!
I’ve made two exercises especially for the readers of Kako da
nikada ne nauciš engleski:
– Provobitni naziv bloga, dok je bio na blogggeru, prim. Amarilis
• The first exercise talks about rivers, deserts, oceans, lakes, continents,
regions and cities.
• The second exercise talks about islands, mountains and countries.
