English-spanish dictionary > to get up
10 also

adv тоже, также (1). Also употребляется только в утвердительных предложениях. Ему по смыслу близки too и as well (as). Also стоит перед основным глаголом и не может стоять в конце предложения. В конце предложения в том же значении употребляется too:
The boy also reads very much.
Cp.
The boy reads very much too.
As well в отличие от also и too более формально и обычно подчеркивает одновременность двух событий и часто употребляется в контексте сравнения:
We travel much and they do it as well.
As well (as) обычно стоит в конце предложения:
While you are at the store, could you get a few things for me as well? — Раз ты все равно будешь в магазине, не купишь ли кое-что также и для меня?
(2). Also может стоять в начале предложения для усиления и для того, чтобы сообщать дополнительные сведения:
I won't stay for a drink — I am driving. And also I have to get up very early tomorrow — Я не могу задерживаться и не буду пить — ведь я за рулем. К тому же мне завтра рано вставать.
(3). Also употребляется в полных утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях. В полных отрицательных предложениях русским тоже, также соответствует английское either, которое стоит в конце предложения:
He doesn't know the answer either. — Он тоже не знает ответа.

Don't you know his name either? — Вы разве тоже не знаете, как его зовут?
(4). Русское тоже в кратких ответах, выражающих согласие с положительным утверждением, передается оборотом so + вспомогательный/модальный глагол, соответствующий глаголу предыдущего предложения (do, does, is, can, etc):
I know it. — So does she — Я это знаю. — Она тоже.
(5). Русское тоже в кратких ответах, выражающих согласие с отрицательным утверждением, передается оборотом neither + вспомогательный/модальный глагол, соответствующий глаголу предыдущего предложения:
I don't know it. Neither do I. — Я не знаю этого. — И я тоже.

He has never been to the North. — Neither has she. — Он никогда не был на Севере. — Она тоже.
(6). See and, cj (6).

English-Russian word troubles > also
11 necessary

a необходимый Конструкция кому-либо необходимо что-либо сделать в разговорной речи чаще передается не с помощью прилагательного necessary, а с помощью модального глагола to have to do smth.
I have to make some calls — Мне необходимо позвонить в несколько мест.

I have to get up very early tomorrow — Мне необходимо завтра встать очень рано.

•

USAGE:

(1). Also 1. связывает две части предложения или два самостоятельных предложения выражая солидарность с первым утверждением. Обычно also 1. стоит перед смысловым глаголом и не может стоять в конце предложения. В конце предложения это значение передается английскими too и as well as: The boy also reads very much. Cp. The boy reads very much too. I was so busy that I missed lunch and dinner as well. Я был так занят, что пропустил ленч, а так же и обед. (2). Also 1. употребляется в полных утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях. В полных отрицательных предложениях это значение присоединения передается словом either: He doesn't know it either. Он тоже этого не знает. Don't you know his name either? Вы разве тоже не знаете как его зовут? (3). Русское "тоже" в кратких ответах, выражающих солидарность с положительным утверждением передается оборотом so + do (does, is, can... etc) I (we, etc): He went to bed early - So did I. Русское "тоже" в кратких ответах, выражающих солидарность с отрицательным утверждением, соответствует обороту с neither + do (does, is, etc) I (he, etc): He doesn't like such films. - Neither does she. Ему не нравятся такие фильмы. - Ей тоже. He has never been to the North. - Neither have I. Он никогда не был на севере. - Я тоже. (4). Also 2. в отличие от also 1., обычно стоит в начале или конце предложения и, как правило, не только связывает два утверждения, но вводит дополнительную, иногда неожиданную, информацию: This article is easier and shorter also. Эта статья легче и к тому же короче. No, I won't slay for a drink. I'm driving. Also, I have to get up early tomorrow. Нет, я пить не буду. Я на машине. К тому же, мне завтра рано вставать. Think carefully about whether you really want that job. Also, are you able to move house if you do get it. Подумай хорошенько, хочешь ли ты получить эту работу. И к тому же, ты можешь сюда перебраться (переехать) если ты ее получишь

BE
"Ser" or "estar"?
You can use "ser": ► when defining or identifying by linking two nouns or noun phrases:
Paris is the capital of France París es la capital de Francia
He was the most hated man in the village Era el hombre más odiado del pueblo ► to describe essential or inherent characteristics (e.g. colour, material, nationality, race, shape, size {etc}):
His mother is German Su madre es alemana
She was blonde Era rubia ► with most impersonal expressions not involving past participles:
It is important to be on time Es importante llegar a tiempo
Está claro que is an exception:
It is obvious you don't understand Está claro que no lo entiendes ► when telling the time or talking about time or age:
It is ten o'clock Son las diez
It's very late. Let's go home Es muy tarde. Vamos a casa
He lived in the country when he was young Vivió en el campo cuando era joven ► to indicate possession or duty:
It's mine Es mío
This is your responsibility Este asunto es responsabilidad tuya ► with events in the sense of "take place":
The 1992 Olympic Games were in Barcelona Los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992 fueron en Barcelona
"Where is the exam?" - "It's in Room 1" "¿Dónde es el examen?" - "Es en el Aula Número 1" NOTE: Compare this usage with that of estar (see below) to talk about location of places, objects and people.
You can use "estar": ► to talk about location of places, objects and people:
"Where is Zaragoza?" - "It's in Spain" "¿Dónde está Zaragoza?" - "Está en España"
Your glasses are on the bedside table Tus gafas están en la mesilla de noche NOTE: But use ser with events in the sense of "take place" (see above)}. ► to talk about changeable state, condition or mood:
The teacher is ill La profesora está enferma
The coffee's cold El café está frío
How happy I am! ¡Qué contento estoy! NOTE: Feliz, however, which is seen as more permanent than contento, is used mainly with ser. ► to form progressive tenses:
We're having lunch. Is it ok if I call you later? Estamos comiendo. Te llamaré luego, ¿vale?
Both "ser" and "estar" can be used with past participles ► Use ser in {passive} constructions:
This play was written by Lorca Esta obra fue escrita por Lorca
He was shot dead (by a terrorist group) Fue asesinado a tiros (por un grupo terrorista) NOTE: The passive is not used as often in Spanish as it is in English. ► Use estar with past participles to describe the {results} of a previous action or event:
We threw them away because they were broken Los tiramos a la basura porque estaban rotos
He's dead Está muerto ► Compare the use of ser + ((past participle)) which describes {action} and estar + ((past participle)) which describes {result} in the following:
The window was broken by the firemen La ventana fue rota por los bomberos
The window was broken La ventana estaba rota
It was painted around 1925 Fue pintado hacia 1925
The floor is painted a dark colour El suelo está pintado de color oscuro ► Ser and estar are both used in impersonal expressions with past participles. As above, the use of ser implies {action} while the use of estar implies {result}:
It is understood that the work was never finished Es sabido que el trabajo nunca se llegó a terminar
It is a proven fact that vaccinations save many lives Está demostrado que las vacunas salvan muchas vidas
"Ser" and "estar" with adjectives ► Some adjectives can be used with both ser and estar but the meaning changes completely depending on the verb:
He's clever Es listo
Are you ready? ¿Estás listo?
Chemistry is boring La química es aburrida
I'm bored Estoy aburrido ► Other adjectives can also be used with both verbs but the use of ser describes a {characteristic} while the use of estar implies a {change}:
He's very handsome Es muy guapo
You look great in that dress! Estás muy guapa con ese vestido
He's slim Es delgado
You're (looking) very slim ¡Estás muy delgada! For further uses and examples, see main entry
