Прошедшее длительное время упражнения. Употребление Past Continuous. Тренировочные упражнения по английскому языку на употребление грамматических времен Past Simple и Past Continuous
Как делать упражнения по грамматике и не умереть со скуки?
Задания и упражнения на уроке бывают разные. Ролевые и , дискуссии, презентации, аудио и много других креативных штук.
И, конечно, традиционные упражнения. Заполнить пропуски, подобрать нужную форму глагола, раскрыть скобки и прочие «захватывающие» задания. Чаще всего такие упражнения дают на дом, но иногда их нужно сделать на уроке.
Единственная печалька проблема с такими упражнениями (хоть дома, хоть на уроке), что они часто выполняются механически. И так же механически проверяются. А в голове в итоге – пусто. Ну ладно, может быть, и не пусто. Но и не густо))
И раз уж таких упражнений практически не избежать – польза-то от них все же есть! – надо их как-то обыграть и заставить работать на себя.
Сегодня покажу один такой способ небанально сделать и проверить грамматическое упражнение (Past Simple и Past Continuous).

Подружиться с английской грамматикой можно только с помощью тестов и заданий различных видов. Именно этот способ поможет материалу не просто запомниться, а впитаться в вашу память. Какие упражнения эффективны для понимания Past Continuous?
Существуют тысячи различных способов отработки прошедшего продолженного времени. Но все упражнения на past continuous можно разделить на несколько условных групп.
- В первую очередь необходимо отработать особенности образования. Здесь эффективны упражнения и на подстановку нужных вспомогательных глаголов, выбор из предложенных вариантов. Помните, что при добавлении окончания -ing, все же есть некоторые исключения, которые не менее важно запомнить.
- В группе Progressive или Continuous есть как прошедшее, так и настоящее, и будущее времена. Несмотря на огромные различия, указатели очень похожи, порой даже одинаковы. В упражнениях на определение Past, Present или Future важно обращать внимание на все «сигнальные» слова-подсказки.
- Особое затруднение всегда вызывают упражнения на сравнение Past Simple, Past Perfect Continuous и Past Progressive . Ведь порой так сложно определить, какое из действий длится, а где сообщается факт. Ваш лексический запас, ваше умение грамотно переводить и видеть контекст здесь очень пригодится.
- Если вы уже разобрались со всем этим, научились видеть это время в тексте, анализировать, значит, вы с лёгкостью сможете и понимать структуру, и выбирать нужную форму среди других временных отрезков. Пора переходить к более сложным заданиям — переводу упражнений на Past Continuous . А именно, учиться сопоставлять русский и английский текст, правильно переводить предложения, строить самостоятельные рассказы по опорным словам.
- Ну, а если, вы совсем далеко зашли, и весь активный залог уже осмыслен, то пора переходить к страдательному. Past Continuous Passive , так же как и другие времена, имеет некоторые особенности в образовании, употреблении и значении. Вообще, Passive Voice с группой Continuous немного специфичен. Так, например, не существует Future Continuous в страдательном залоге.
Чтобы добиться совершенного владения или просто успешно сдать экзамены, вам необходимо проделать множество упражнений и тестов. Начиная с самых простых заданий, постепенно накапливаются знания, и вы переходите к новому уровню сложности, а, значит, и к следующему уровню владения языком.
