ECONOMIC SITUATION IN UKRAINE

To describe the economic situation in Ukraine let's begin with its foreign
economic relations. After its departure from the former USSR Ukraine took an
independent way of economic development. It means that our country can regulate its
internal and foreign trade. Deep political, social and economic transformations are
taking place in Ukraine. Our country is going over to а market economy. Now it has
only а primitive market sector in the form of cooperatives, joint ventures, joint - stock
companies, leaseholders. The transition to а market economy is burdened by many
circumstances: the slow process of privatization of state property, inconvertibility of
national currency, low competitiveness of our goods in foreign markets, shortage of
hard currency, the production slump, hyperinflation, and others.
Our foreign experience is rather modest. We need highly qualified specialists in
marketing and management, in organization of foreign economic activity. Ukraine is
establishing new foreign ties with many countries. Among them are neighbour -
countries - Russia, Hungary, Poland, countries with а high percentage of Ukrainian
citizens - Canada, Australia, Argentina and countries that are crucial for Ukraine's
economy (for instance, oil - producing Iran and Kuwait), as well as special - interest
states, like the Vatican and Israel. Barter arrangements (exchanges) may provide
solution of different problems. For example, Ukraine cannot survive without oil and
gas. In its turn, Iran needs steel, cement and chemical industry products. It is not а
secret that Ukraine is short of hard currency now. According to some experts it can
export manganese ore, steel, iron ore, sulphur, electrical and radio technology. Yet,
many branches of industry are in need of urgent technological reconstruction. It goes
without saying, while dealing with foreign partners national interests should be taken
into consideration.
It is evident now that the interest of foreign businessmen in significant
investments in Ukraine's economy has recently grown. Free economic zones are
supposed to be set up in our country. It means that free customs and а favourable
regime of foreign economic activity should be set up in these regions. There is an
opinion that one must not expect "an economic miracle". It is essential now to
elaborate new laws and mechanism on entrepreneurship and foreign economic
relations.

4. Read the following passage and choose where to insert these sentences.

a) Magazines such as Fortune and Business Week were all mocking him.
b) But it is true that Jobs was still losing money. In the early 1990s he was going
bankrupt at an alarming rate.
c) Pixar Animation Inc. was also bleeding cash fast.
d) His two businesses, Next (a company firm) and Pixar (a computer animation
company), were rapidly going bankrupt.

Entrepreneurs can go through long periods of bad luck and fall on hard times.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, is one of these people. Since enjoying
tremendous success in the 1980s he spent 11 years of humiliating failure.
After he was sacked by Apple, he lost millions of dollars by selling his shares
at the wrong time. ………….. . Next had spent $180 million of its shareholders’
money and had nothing to show it. ……….. .
For five years, the criticism from the business press was universal and
deafening. ………….. . Then a writer called Randall Stross published a book
called Steve Jobs and the Next Big Thing which accused him, among other things,

8
of fostering false opinions on successes that didn’t exist and having no financial
know-how. It was a humiliating attack. …………. . By 1995 he had lost $ 200m
out of a fortune of $300m.
Now all that is behind him. Pixar now makes animated movies in partnership
with Disney. Toy Story was the third-highest earning animation of all time and the
launch of the iMac was a huge success. We haven’t heard the last of Mr. Jobs.

JOINT VENTURING OF HP

Historically Hewlett-Packard (HP) has specialized in providing business support


services, but in recognition of the convergence between administrative areas and
network management itself, the company decided to create а joint venture with
Ericsson to supply network management systems on а worldwide basis.
Ericsson has been developing network management products for а number of
years. Ericsson's capabilities in the computer aspects of this technology is rather
limited, and а joint venture with Hewlett-Packard was announced, in which Ericsson
has а 60% share.
Under the terms of the agreement, product responsibility for Telecommunications
Management and Operations Support and also Ericsson's Network Management
System will be transferred to the new company, leaving а number of other Ericsson
network management products in the main company. The new company, which has
still not been given а name, will have its headquarters in Stockholm, and employ
around 250 staff. The product will be sold through Ericsson's distribution channels,
with HР providing support services, including integration on the client site.

DISTANCE LEARNING

New technological developments provide increasing potential for the assessment


of an individual's competence to perform the necessary skills in the workplace.
Computer aided learning is an effective method of acquiring knowledge,
understanding and, in some cases, skills-depending upon the degree of sophistication
and the interactive nature of the programming. Simulation modeling can readily be
used with the powerful PC's of today to take reality in the workplace. The use of
distance learning programmes is an attractive option. Support from CD-ROM and CD-
1 systems can ensure that library information and other databases are readily available.
Many practical training programmes can now be transferred to the workplace.
Programmes dealing with operational practices can be sent «down-line» to allow for
changes in technology and procedures.
How individuals can be monitored for competency standards is а little more
difficult but not beyond solution.
Distance learning programmes consist of professionally developed and
instructionally designed learning units with built-in teaching and learning mechanisms.
Typically, they provide student interaction, feedback and evaluation and direct tutor
contact. А typical distance learning unit may consist of а unit guide, а study guide
supplemented by а reading book. It may be further supported by а text book, computer
software, or other media such as video or audio tape.
Teleconferencing, video conferencing and attendance at summer schools may all
be features of the programme. The unit may be formally assessed. Units are structured
to provide the student with the sense of communicating and interacting with the
educational or training institution and the designated tutor. Correspondence courses
lack most of these elements.
Assignments can be transmitted, marked and returned within а very short period
of time. Queries can be responded to in а matter of hours by either fax, telex or
telephone. The student benefits from the early response and feedback and the links
developed with the tutor. The tutor benefits from а rapid perception and understanding
of the student's difficulties and rate of progress. Examinations may be arranged to be
taken in the workplace.
However, distance learning programmes must be planned carefully and be
instructionally designed and edited by professionals so they are suitable for the market.
This means producing relevant and qualitative units with effective and speedy
feedback mechanisms. Computer-aided learning and computer-based resources can
provide interactive support to the learning, training and skilling process.

VIDEOCONFERENCING

Enterprises can save money by cutting back on travel and substituting


videoconferences for some face-to-face meetings. The savings come both in actual
travel costs and in the costs of having employees out of action during а trip. However,
videoconferencing should be implemented with care. The two general categories-
conference room systems and desktop systems - have different benefits and drawbacks,
but both impose costs and complexities beyond their initial installation.
Room systems are relatively expensive and usually work over switched circuits
(generally ISDN), which ensure high quality, but impose ongoing costs.
Desktop systems are relatively inexpensive and work through the enterprise
network.
Videoconferencing technology allows people to create the environment of а face-
to-face meeting so that fast, interactive decisions can be made, wherever they may be
in the world. Unlike email, or even а telephone call, videoconferencing facilitates
closer relationships as you can clearly see who you are communicating with and
respond to their body language-often essential on international calls when trying to
overcome cultural barriers. It also allows individuals to share documents and
demonstrate а product or visual concept.
Moreover, ongoing costs will decline and return on investment will increase over
time as networks are upgraded and the quality differential declines.
Enterprises can save money with videoconferencing by reducing travel, but
neither the initial investment nor the ongoing cost is trivial.
Room-based, circuit-switched conferencing provides the best quality, reliability
and ease of use, but with higher initial cost and ongoing line charges. Systems can be
installed with ISDN lines and migrated to network protocols when the infrastructure is
sufficiently robust.

MONEY AND ITS FUNCTIONS

All values in the economic system are measured in terms of money. Our goods
and services arc sold for money, and that money is in turn exchanged for other goods
and services. Coins arc adequate for small transactions, while paper notes are used for
general business. There is additionally а wider sense of word "money", covering
anything which is used as а means of exchange, whatever form it may take. Originally,
valuable metal (gold, silver or copper) served as а constant store of value. Because
gold has been universally regarded as а very valuable metal, national currencies were
for many years judged in terms of so-called "gold-standard". (The US Government
abandoned the gold standard in 1971.)
Nowadays however valuable metal has generally been replaced by paper notes.
National currencies are considered to be as strong as the national economics which
support them. Paper notes are issued by governments and authorized banks, and are
known as "legal tender". Other arrangements such as cheques and money orders are
not legal tender. They perform the function of substitute money and are known as
"instruments of credit". Credit is offered only when creditors believe that they have а
good chance of obtaining legal tender when they present such instruments at а bank or
other authorized institution. If man’s assets are known to be considerable, then his
credit will be good. If his assets are in doubt, then, it may be difficult for him to obtain
large sums of credit or even to pay for goods with а cheque.
The value of money is basically its value as а medium of exchange, or, as
economists put it, its "purchasing power". This purchasing power is dependent on
supply and demand. The demand for money is reckonable as the quantity needed to
effect business transactions. An increase in business requires an increase in the amount
of money coming into general circulation. But the demand for money is related not
only to the quantity of business but also to the rapidity with which the business is done.
The supply of money, on the other hand, is the actual amount in notes and coins
available for business purposes. If too much money is аvаilаble, its value decreases,
and it does not buy as much as it did, say, five years earlier. This condition is known as
"inflation". (Tom McArthur. "А Rapid Course in English for Students of Economics".

THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

The Federal Reserve System (or Fed) is а complex and intricate system composed
of а Board of Governors, а Federal Advisory Council, а Federal Open Market
Committee, 12 Reserve Banks, 25 branch banks, many member banks, and several
minor organizations. It is an instrument of the government and yet is not owned by the
government. Instead, it is owned by the member banks; however, its most important
officials are appointed by the president of the United States. Each body within the Fed
has its own individual function, but the functions of each body are interrelated.
The most important instrument of monetary management is the Federal Reserve
open-market operations. Open-market operations are the Fed's continuous purchases
and sales of government securities on the open market, to affect bank reserves. The
securities used are primary U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills), with а maturity of 1 year or
less. Most banks hold government securities, and the Fed can induce banks to sell or
buy government securities by offering to buy them at а premium price or to sell them
at а discount.
А bank's ability to create money is affected by the amount of reserves it must hold
for its checkable deposits. An increase in the reserve requirement decreases the bank's
ability to increase the money supply, and vice versa. The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve has the authority to determine, within limits, the amount of reserves
that banks must hold against checkable deposits. These moneys as designated by the
Fed, are referred to as required reserves. Any reserves over and above this amount that
bank may have are excess reserves. Both are important to the potential size of the
money supply. The Fed may decrease the reserve requirements during periods of low
production, income, and employment, to increase the money supply and expand
business activity.
The Fed can decrease the banks' ability to expand the money supply by raising the
reserve requirement. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement from 10 per cent to
20 per cent, the banks will be short of required reserves. As а result, they must either
increase their reserves or recall some of the loans outstanding to bring their reserves up
to 20 percent of their checkable deposits. The action of the banks in recalling loans
reduces their checkable deposits.
The Fed is an independent organization within the government, not apart from it.
As such, it exercises а considerable amount of autonomy. Because the Fed is
responsible only to Congress, it may or may not agree with the economic policies of а
given presidential administration. But since both have the same objectives (economic
growth and high employment, along with а stable price level), their actions usually
complement each other.

46
The Fed bought securities in open-market conditions, lowered reserve
requirements, reduced the discount and Fed fund rates, and used moral suasion in an
attempt to increase the money supply during the 1990-1981 recession. Similar
measures were taken in previous recessions.
During inflationary periods over the past three decades, the Fed has tried to slow
the growth of money supply by selling government securities, raising the discount rate,
and (at times) raising the reserve requirements. It has also attempted moral suasion,
especially through strong public testimony before Congress, in an effort to combat
inflation.
Although the Fed usually works hand-in-hand with the administration to stabilize
the level of economic activity and the price level, differences of opinion do occur. The
most recent instance of this was in 1990, when the annual rate of economic growth fell
below 2 percent and the annual rate of inflation moved above 5 percent. As the
economy slowed, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and
even the president made public statements asserting that lower interest rates were
needed to stimulate the economy. The Fed, however, steadfastly maintained its high
interest rates at least into the fall of 1990 as а means of combating the inflationary
pressures that it felt were developing in the economy.

CRIME IN BANKING. MONEY WASHING

Washing money, once а Swiss speciality, was made а crime in that country in
1990. Switzerland's Federal Banking Commission has now published some belated tips
for bank employees on how to recognize dirty money on the move when they see it.
Grounds for suspicion unastonishingly include sudden activity in а previously dormant
account; cash being withdrawn soon after it is deposited; dealings outside the usual
pattern; transactions with no recognizable economic motive; а customer's refusal to
provide information, or provision of false information.
Banks are told to check carefully when they are asked to open accounts with more
than $67,800 of cash or precious metals. Subsequent big transactions should be
scrutinized. Counter staff should question people without accounts who produce
suitcases full of bills that they want to change into other currencies.
All this is fine, as long as banks do not then ignore what they find. In
Switzerland's the biggest money-laundering scandal it emerged that Credit Suisse had
been told by an internal audit committee that two Lebanese brothers were conducting
questionable business through their account. The bank did nothing about it. In 1990 the
brothers were jailed for laundering millions of drug-dollars (“The Economist”)

THE BANK OF AMERICA

We can learn something about banking in the United States from the history of а
particular bank – the Bank of America, one of the nation's largest commercial banks.
In 1904, Amadeo Peter Gannini, а 34-year old son of Italian immigrant, founded the
Bank of Italy in the Italian district of San Francisco.
Gannini showed the sort of entrepreneurial zeal in banking that would be expected
from his previous track record. As an illustration, consider the following example:
In 1906, the city of San Francisco was rocked by earthquake and swept by fire. As
the flames approached the little Bank of Italy, the young banker piled his cash and
securities into а horsedrawn wagon and took them to his home at San Mateo, where be
buried them into the garden; and while the ruins of the city were still smoking be set up
а desk in the open air, put up а sign over the desk which read Bank of Italy, and began
doing business again. Gannini's bank prospered and grew. By the time be was 50, it
had over 25 branches. This was the fourth largest commercial bank in the country.
In 1930, Gannini's bank was renamed the Bank of America. In the next 50 years,
the Bank of America grew and grew. By 1983, it had deposits of about $ 90 billion,
and was the largest commercial bank of the United States.

UKRAINIAN’S ECONOMY BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT


OPPORTUNITIES IN UKRAINE. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.

Ukraine as a sovereign state establishes a lot of new relations with countries


throughout the world. Our country sets direct contacts with many foreign countries,
signing treaties and agreements. Ukraine is one of the members of the United Nations
Organizations and participates in the work of many international organizations. Our
country possesses competitive strength namely a strategic geographical position and
mild climate, rich natural resources, sizeable consumer market, highly educated labour
force, sophisticated research and development infrastructure.
Prior to independence more than 80 percent of total “exports” and “imports” were
accounted by for interrepublic trade. As well as being tightly integrated with the
economy, Ukraine accounted for a major share about 25 percent of the Net Material
Product (NMP). Needless to say the foreign trade links of Ukraine play a key role in
the Ukrainian economy. A fundamental reshaping of foreign policy could only be
affected on the basis of a strictly scientific and objective reassessment of the present-
day realities. This evaluation the in-depth analysis of international affairs and the
consideration of our national interests resulted in the political thinking. Nowadays the
political life is giving fresh grounds for the relations of mutual understanding between
Ukraine and the USA, Great Britain, Canada and other English-speaking countries.
The reason for the new type of relations is that all English-speaking countries want to
see broader economic ties with Ukraine. The exchanging of opinions with the
delegations from the English-speaking countries are generally marked with the
goodwill and intense interest a lot of delegations, businessmen, specialists and tourists
from the English-speaking countries keep coming to Ukraine.

BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN UKRAINE:


UKRAINE OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Having recently gained its independence, Ukraine is a country com parable in
geographical size and population to Italy and France. The country possesses
numerous competitive strengths, namely a strategic geographical position and mild
climate, rich natural resources, sizeable consumer market, highly educated labour
force, well developed transport infrastructure, significant achievements in natural
sciences and military-related research, and a sophisticated research and
development infrastructure.
However, the Ukrainian economy is currently in a critical position. This is
due to the fact that the economy of Ukraine was previously quite isolated, not
oriented towards satisfying the national interest of the country. The pricing
policy was basically inappropriate because the prices for raw materials and fuel
supply were very low and were not stimulating their rational use and the
introduction of high technology to industry.
Ukrainian efforts to be integrated to the world market were, over the first
three years, very reticent and did not realize the national potential.
Counted for by inter-republic trade. As well as being tightly integrated with
the economy, Ukraine accounted for a major share about 25 per cent of the Net
Material Product (NMP) of the former Soviet Union.
Needless to say, at independence the severance of the inter-republic links had
a particularly disruptive effect on Ukrainian enterprises and on the national
economy as a whole.
The foreign trade linkages of Ukraine will no doubt play a key role in the
recovery of the Ukrainian economy in this transition period.
Upon gaining independence in 1991, Ukraine has become an equal member of
the international community. There is little doubt that the economic, scientific and
human potential of Ukraine is one of the most promising in Europe and offers
many business and investment opportunities.
Attraction of new investments in the Ukrainian economy, including foreign
investments, is one of the effective ways of overcoming this situation.

there is very ………………. Incentive for them to ensure volume sales. This said,
sales of some lines have done better in the run-up to Christmas.
We recently did a survey of 1,500 customers. Unfortunately, very ……………
of those questioned (7%) said that our design were attractive and …………………..
people (over half of the respondents) felt they were ………….. old-fashioned. As a
result I have commissioned a new design and spent …………….. time with the
marketing department. I am sending you ……………….. sample for you to comment
on and, if you have ……………….time between now and the New Year, I’d be

“PROJECT ECONOMICS”

I am a second-year student o0f the Odessa State Economic University of day-time


department. Our university trains specialists of different specializations at our
university: Management, Accounting at enterprises and in agriculture, Banking,
Statistics, Project, etc.
My future speciality is Project Economics .It is rather new speciality at the
university. My future profession is connected with planning and analyzing the project.
But before speaking about my speciality, we have to understand what is the” project”.
Project is a complex of activities worked out to achieve different goals in economics,
in investment, material and labour resources, technology and business, etc. Any
manager, facing the necessity to project his business activity has to know methods of
the project analysis and its management. Analysis of the project is a set of different
methods and activities, used as an instrument for organization’s planning and
development. The main participants of the project organization are initiator, customer,
investor, manager of the project and contractor. According to the character and sphere
of activity the are: industrial, organizational, economical, social and projects of
development. All projects can be divided into commercial and non-profit.
Industrial projects are connected with production and sale, housing, technology
improvement.
Organizational – deal with reformation of management system, organization of
conferences, etc.
Social projects are connected with social security, health care, environmental and
social problems, etc.
Projects of development-concerned with scientific and research activity,
information, new materials and constructions.
Economical resources –are aimed to develop capital market, to reform system of
privatization, resources taxation and other macroeconomical problems.
The analysis of economical aspects has to clarify, whether the given project
contributes to achieve national goals and if there are alternative ways to get
economical profits with less expenses. Economical analyzing has to estimate the
relationship between project and its environment which can stimulate the production
and trade, and can influence on incomes. Estimation of economical effectiveness of
projects is carried out to define results after utilization of limited resources within the
project. For such determination can be used terms of alternative costs, shadow prices,
transfer payments, profits and expenditures, customer surplus and externals. This can
help to estimate the positive results-profits, and negative results-expenditures, and
benefit in case of realization of the project. In case of providing economical analyzing

82
one has to correct financial indexes which show the real cost of goods. For these
purposes one should avoid the influence of transfer payments and costs of the project’s
resources. Real costs of resources can be determined with the help of shadow prices.
To determine project influence on country’s economy, we have to find out incidental
factors and further consequences. The realization of the project can promote the
reduction of prices to customer products and services, deficit liquidity, etc. Project
determination is concerned with its possibility to achieve economical goals of
country’s development.
Economical analyzing is made up to determine its influence on general society’s
welfare, not on separate investors.

WHERE DO BANKS GET THEIR MONEY?

Banks have a wide range of possible sources of funds. The best way to see where
a bank gets its funds is to look at its balance sheet. Specifically, a bank gets money
from its liabilities and capital accounts. In addition to deposits and the other sources
discussed below, a bank may obtain loanable funds by borrowing in the Eurodollar
market, selling commercial paper through its holding company, borrowing from Federal
Reserve Banks, issuing bankers acceptances, selling loans outright or through sale and
leaseback arrangements. In every case the banks must pay competitive rates for these
funds. The cost of funds must, in turn, be built into the rates banks earn on their loans
and other assets
LIABILITIES
Deposits
Deposits are obligations of a bank to pay the person, firm, or institution that
placed funds with the bank. The deposit may be payable, on request, in which case it is
known as a demand deposit, or it may be payable after the passage of a period of time, in
which case it is known as a time deposit.
There are numerous types of deposit accounts, including noninterest-bearing
checking accounts, interest-bearing NOW accounts, and super NOW accounts, regular
savings accounts, certificates of deposit, club accounts, and money market deposit
accounts. The names may vary among institutions.
Every commercial bank seeks to attract additional deposits because
deposits are the source of a bank’s ability to provide services and earn profits.
Over 90 percent of loanable funds come from depositors’ money. Without
deposits, the credit needs of individuals and business es could not be met by the
banks. Banks have developed many deposit plans to appeal to the customer’s
needs for convenience, flexibility, and coordinated services. Also, the interest
rate that banks pay influences the volume of deposits. This is particularly
important because banks are in competition with all forms of savings and
investment alternatives, such as savings and loan associations, savings banks,
credit unions, and money market mutual funds.
Federal Funds
The law requires that all depository institutions maintain reserves as
prescribed by the Federal Reserve System. On any given day some institutions
hold reserves in excess of their required reserve position, while others are
below their required position. Institutions with excess reserves may lend them
to institutions in need of reserves. These reserves, commonly called federal
funds, are generally lent out on one day and repaid the following morning.

CAPITAL I
Common Stock
Common stock is an attractive source of financing since, theoreti cally, it
does not represent a fixed claim on a bank’s earning. Banks
realize, however, that stockholders often expect dividends and that
without a reasonably attractive dividend policy, it might be difficult to
raise funds in the equity markets.
Since new issues of common stock dilute the ownership rights of current
shareholders, the cost of common stock as a source of new equity must reflect that
dilution. The issuance of new shares involves two major types of costs. First,
there are direct costs related to the stock issue itself, such as underwriting costs.
Second, new shares often can be sold only below the market price of outstanding
shares, so a new issue might eventually depress, if only temporarily, the market
price of the firm’s stock.
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock combines some of the features of long-term debt and
common stock. It has a stated dividend which takes priority over divi dends on
common stock, but not over interest on debt. Also, dividends do not have the
advantage of tax deductibility that interest on bonds has.
Recently, adjustable-rate preferred stock has been introduced into bank
equity markets. The dividend rate on these issues has been based on a spread
from the highest of the three-month Treasury bill or 10-year or 20-year
constant-maturity Treasury rates. The stock also has high and low boundaries
within which the annual dividend rate floats. This floating rate has been major
attraction to investors.

CAPITAL II
Convertible Securities
The convertible security has a price at which it is convertible to com mon
stock. Thus, before conversion it is equivalent to debt; whereas after, it is
counted as equity.
Banks do not rely heavily on convertible debt. One reason is that convertible
securities introduce an element of uncertainty by requiring the issuer to decide on
the conversion price well in advance of actual conversion. Also, the time of
conversion is not known with certainty, despite the usual call option.
Capital Notes and Debentures
Long-term debt is a relatively low cost source of financing, since the interest
on capital notes and debentures is tax-deductible. Also, unlike equity financing, it
preserves the ownership rights of the bank’s shareholders.
Long-term debt has a fixed interest obligation, and a commitment to repay
the principal. It can be expensive if obtained in a period of high interest rates.
Relying on long-term debt as a source of funds requires access to capital markets,
which may not be available to some banks. Also, the debt agreements may place
various restrictions on the operations of the bank and require the bank to meet
certain earnings criteria and other stipulations.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings are the main source of equity to banks. They are relatively
less expensive and are more easily controlled by a banker than now common stock.
Although there is not a direct cost of retained earnings, the shareholder must
forego his dividend or some portion of it so that the firm can retain earnings.
Retained earnings are generally considered the best means for Increasing
equity because of cost and their accessibility. However, an increase in retained
earnings without an accompanying increase in over-ull earnings could result in a
reduction in dividends. This would be undesirable because of stockholders’
expectations.

The Sequence of Tenses


Indirect Speech

В англійськіи мові при перекладі з прямої мови в непряму діє правило


узгодження часів:
Якщо присудок головного речення є дієсловом у минулому часі, тоді
дієслово додаткового речення не може використовуватися у формі майбутнього
чи теперішнього часу — воно повинно бути в одному з минулих часів.
Згідно з простим правилом в цьому випадку всі часи в додадковому реченні
рухаються на одну сходинку вниз:

Present Continuous (am/is/are dong) Past Continuous (was/were doіng)

Present Indefinite (do/does) Past Indefinite (did)

Past Indefinite (did) Past Perfect (had done)

Present Perfect (have/has done) Past Perfect (had done)

121
Can; may; must could; might; must (had to)

Will would

Які шаги необхідно виконати:


1. Поставити з’єднуюче "чи" — if/whether
1. Перетворити питальне речення на позитивне:
(підмет+присудок):
Is he a student? => he is a student.
Does he live here? => he lives here.
3. Застосувати правила узгодження часів:
Не is ... => Не was ...
Не lives ... => Не lived ...

Змінa обставини місця та часу:
