    •
    USAGE:
    (1.) Русское "быть уверенным в чём-либо" передается в английском языке конструкциями с прилагательными sure и certain. I'm sure (that) обозначает высокую степень уверенности, оставляя, однако, возможность того, что высказанное мнение может не подтвердиться, в отличие от I'm certain, которое выражает абсолютную уверенность в справедливости утверждения, основанную на реальном знании фактов и обстоятельств, возможно, неизвестных собеседнику. Такое же различие относится к наречиям surely и certainly: I'm sure he didn't write it/Surely he didn't write it, he is not that sort of person. Не может быть/Я не думаю, чтобы он это написал, не такой он человек. ср. I'm certain he didn't write it/He certainly didn't write it, I wrote it myself. Он это, безусловно, не писал, это написал я сам. (2.) Конструкции to be sure (that) и to be certain (that) не различаются по значению в отрицательных предложениях: I'm not sure/certain how to spell the word (where he put is, that it is so). (3.) Конструкции to be sure to do smth и to be sure of doing smth передают различное отношение говорящего к действию. To be sure to do smth передает уверенность, определенность того, что действие будет совершено и соответствует русскому обязательно: He is sure to come/He will definitely come. Конструкция to be sure of doing smth обозначает только намерение, мнение говорящего, однако говорящий может и ошибаться: Before the game started he was sure of winning, but ten minutes he began to doubt it. Перед началом матча он был уверен в победе, но уже через 10 минут стал в этом сомневаться. (4.) Sure в конструкции с последующим придаточным sure that (where, why, etc) употребляется только при одушевленном подлежащем. В безличных предложениях употребляется только certain. Cp. I am sure that our team will win the game, но It is certain that our team will win the game. (5.) To be sure с последующим инфинитивом to be sure to do smth соответствует в русском языке словам обязательно, безусловно, непременно: he is (was) sure to phone you to-night и подразумевает действие в будущем; конструкция to be sure to do smth отличается от конструкции to be sure and do smth; последняя обозначает настоятельную просьбу, увещевание и употребляется только в форме повелительного наклонения: Be sure and phone me. Смотри, обязательно позвони мне. These are very useful books, be sure and buy one. Это очень полезные книги, непременно купи себе такую
