108 punctuation

n пунктуация, знаки препинания Знаки препинания в английском языке употребляются реже и не так, как в русском языке. К основным случаям употребления знаков препинания в английском языке следует отнести: (1). Предложения, выражающие просьбу, заканчиваются как правило точкой, даже если они стоят в вопросительной форме:
Will you send me your latest article.

May I take it.
(2). Косвенный вопрос заканчивается точкой, а не вопросительным знаком:
Do you mind if I come a little later.

He hesitated whether to stay or leave at once.
(3). Запятой отделяются:
1). обстоятельственные придаточные предложения, если они стоят в начале предложения перед главным. Если придаточное следует за главным, то оно запятой не отделяется.

When it was convenient for him, he went to the office.
Cp. We worked overtime whenever it was necessary;

2). причастные и абсолютные обороты, стоящие в начале предложения.

The rain having stopped, we went for a walk.

A doctor, called to the scene, examined the injured man;

3). вводные инфинитивные конструкции. То be successful, one must work hard. Если инфинитивная конструкция выполняет функцию подлежащего, то она запятой не отделяется — То become a doctor was his dream;

4). все вводные слова, обороты, словосочетания и придаточные предложения:

а) слова типа however, moreover, therefore, besides, consequently, so to speak, in short, of course, as a result, we suppose, I think, as for as she is concerned:

Besides, he didn't receive any answer.

Of course, there are many ways to do it.

Someone, I suppose, should check the papers;

б) вводные обороты, прерывающие логическую последовательность изложения — Не disliked, and I agree with him, his manner of presentation the problem;

в) слово also, если оно стоит в начале предложения для усиления — Also, we noticed that the prices were going up ( в остальных случаях also запятой не отделяется, ср. We also noticed that the prices were going up);
5). вступительные слова и выражения типа yes, indeed, really, surely, well —
Yes, I would like to say a few words on the problem.

Well, the next thing we knew he had fired a shot;
6). описательные определительные придаточные, которые могут быть опущены без ущерба для смысла предложения, в отличие от ограничивающих определительных придаточных, которые опущены быть не могут (последние запятой не отделяются) —
The girl who lives next door came to work to our office,
cp. Mary Jones, who lives next door, came to see us.

The book (that) you gave me to read was very useful to me,
cp. Pygmalion, the play written by B. Shaw, has been staged by many theatres;
7). обращения — Henry, fetch another chair, please. I am sorry, Mr. White, that I must interrupt you; 8). конструкции-приложения — Thomas, our manager, is ill. Приложения, тесно связанные с определяемым словом и образующие единое словосочетание, запятой не отделяются — My cousin Bob. Mary Queen of Scots. His friend Bill; 9). ряд однородных определений — She decided to have potatoes, beans, and ice cream. He walked off the stage, turned round, came back, and stared at the audience. He asked for paper, a pencil, and a ruler. They lived in a little, white house; 10). части сложносочиненных предложений, соединенных одним из сочинительных союзов and, but, for, or, nor, while (в значении but) — I dictated the letter, but she didn't put it down correctly. В тех случаях, когда сочинительного союза нет, части сложносочиненного предложения весьма распространенные и внутри имеют свои собственные знаки препинания, запятая между ними не употребляется; в этих случаях предпочтительнее точка с запятой или точка. Нераспространенные части сложносочиненных предложений, даже при наличии союза, запятой не отделяются — Не looked around but he didn't see anybody; 11). слова, выражающие противопоставления — I asked you to fill the document, not to destroy it. I'll let you do it this time, but never again. Children should be seen, but not heard; 12). прямая речь — He asked, "How long will it take you"; 13). вопросная часть разделительных вопросов — Не was right, wasn't he?; 14). обозначения даты и месяца отделяются запятой от обозначения места и года — April 8, 1872; Moscow, July 12, 1972; 15). звания, стоящие после имени собственного — Adams, Ph. D; 16). в четырехзначных и более числительных запятой отделяются числительные после тысячи — 1,767; 2,565,727; 17). номера страниц, два одинаковых слова или два или более чисел, выраженных цифровыми последовательностями и стоящих рядом — Lucy told you, you should stay here; Since 1988, 12,000 new machines have been sold. (4). Запятой не отделяются:
а) слова в городских адресах, при обозначении страниц, года: page 15; in the year 1986; 115 Oxford Street;

б) ограничивающие определительные и относительные придаточные, а также дополнительные придаточные — Не knows that you will be late. The book you gave me was very useful.
(5). Точка с запятой используется главным образом в официальной письменной речи, в которой много очень длинных и синтаксически сложных предложений; в обыденной переписке не рекомендуется использовать точку с запятой слишком часто. (6). Двоеточие, как и в русском языке, употребляется перед перечислением, разъяснением и в приветствиях в деловой переписке. В обыденной, неофициальной переписке после обращения может использоваться запятая — Dear Mr. Brown; My dear Madam; cp. Dear Jane. Если после двоеточия следует полное предложение, то первое слово такого предложения пишется с заглавной буквы:
These are your duties: Sort the mail, open all that is not personal, throw away the envelopes, and bring the letters to me.
Если список перечисленных пунктов расположен в столбик, каждая новая строка должна начинаться с заглавной буквы, после каждого пункта знак препинания не ставится: You should know how to use the following office machines:
1. Typewriter

2. Calculator

3. Copy Machine.
(7). Двоеточие используется для отделения различных частей отсылок, заглавий, формул и числительных: The time was 9:15 p. m; We were given Chapter XII: Section 19 for our homework. (8). Кавычки в английском языке пишутся только сверху: “Where”, he asked, “are you going to keep it?” Только первое слово приводимой прямой речи пишется с заглавной буквы, вторая часть, если прямая речь прервана, пишется с маленькой буквы. (9). Кавычки не употребляются в косвенной речи: Не asked where we would keep it. (10). Заключенное в кавычки высказывание обычно заканчивается запятой или точкой перед закрывающимися кавычками: “They are not here,” he said.

1000000000 un milliard‡‡

1000000000000 un billion‡‡

* In English 0 may be called nought, zero or even nothing ; French is always zéro ; a nought = un zéro.

† Note that one is une in French when it agrees with a feminine noun, so un crayon but une table, une des tables, vingt et une tables, combien de tables? - il y en a une seule etc.

‡ Also huitante in Switzerland. Note that when 80 is used as a page number it has no s, e.g. page eighty = page quatre-vingt.

§ Note that vingt has no s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when quatre-vingts is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. quatre-vingts millions, quatre-vingts billions etc.

Note that cent does not take an s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when it is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. trois cents millions, six cents billions etc. It has a normal plural when it modifies other nouns, e.g. 200 inhabitants = deux cents habitants.

|| Note that figures in French are set out differently ; where English would have a comma, French has simply a space. It is also possible in French to use a full stop (period) here, e.g. 1.000. French, like English, writes dates without any separation between thousands and hundreds, e.g. in 1995 = en 1995.

** When such a figure refers to a date, the spelling mil is preferred to mille, i.e. en 1200 = en mil deux cents. Note however the exceptions: when the year is a round number of thousands, the spelling is always mille, so en l’an mille, en l’an deux mille etc.

†† Mille is invariable ; it never takes an s.

‡‡ Note that the French words million, milliard and billion are nouns, and when written out in full they take de before another noun, e.g. a million inhabitants is un million d’habitants, a billion francs is un billion de francs. However, when written in figures, 1,000,000 inhabitants is 1000000 habitants, but is still spoken as un million d’habitants. When million etc. is part of a complex number, de is not used before the nouns, e.g. 6,000,210 people = six millions deux cent dix personnes.

Use of en

Note the use of en in the following examples:

there are six

= il y en a six

I’ve got a hundred

= j’en ai cent

En must be used when the thing you are talking about is not expressed (the French says literally there of them are six, I of them have a hundred etc.). However, en is not needed when the object is specified:

there are six apples

= il y a six pommes

Approximate numbers

When you want to say about…, remember the French ending -aine:

about ten

= une dizaine

about ten books

= une dizaine de livres

about fifteen

= une quinzaine

about fifteen people

= une quinzaine de personnes

about twenty

= une vingtaine

about twenty hours

= une vingtaine d’heures

Similarly une trentaine, une quarantaine, une cinquantaine, une soixantaine and une centaine ( and une douzaine means a dozen). For other numbers, use environ (about):

about thirty-five

= environ trente-cinq

about thirty-five francs

= environ trente-cinq francs

about four thousand

= environ quatre mille

about four thousand pages

= environ quatre mille pages

Environ can be used with any number: environ dix, environ quinze etc. are as good as une dizaine, une quinzaine etc.

Note the use of centaines and milliers to express approximate quantities:

hundreds of books

= des centaines de livres

I’ve got hundreds

= j’en ai des centaines

hundreds and hundreds of fish

= des centaines et des centaines de poissons

I’ve got thousands

= j’en ai des milliers

thousands of books

= des milliers de livres

thousands and thousands

= des milliers et des milliers

millions and millions

= des millions et des millions

Phrases

numbers up to ten

= les nombres jusqu’à dix

to count up to ten

= compter jusqu’à dix

almost ten

= presque dix

less than ten

= moins de dix

more than ten

= plus de dix

all ten of them

= tous les dix

all ten boys

= les dix garçons

Note the French word order:

my last ten pounds

= mes dix dernières livres

the next twelve weeks

= les douze prochaines semaines

the other two

= les deux autres

the last four

= les quatre derniers

Like English, French makes nouns by adding the definite article:

the first

= le premier (or la première, or les premiers mpl or les premières fpl)

the second

= le second (or la seconde etc.)

the first three

= les trois premiers or les trois premières

Note the French word order in:

the third richest country in the world

= le troisième pays le plus riche du monde
