48 Omission after auxiliary verbs
↑ Ellipsis1) После вспомогательного глагола ( Auxiliary verbs) можно опустить слова (относящиеся к глаголу дополнения, обстоятельства, именную часть сказуемого) в том случае, если из предыдущего контекста ясно, о чем идет речь (например, при ответе на вопрос, в придаточном предложении или во второй части сложносочиненного предложения)."Don't forget to telephone." "I won't" (вместо I won't forget to telephone) — Не забудь позвонить. - Не забуду.
If something can go wrong, it will (вместо it will go wrong) — Если что-то неприятное может случиться, оно обязательно произойдет.
"Are you going to the party?" "No, I'm not" (вместо I'm not going to the party) — Ты пойдешь на вечеринку? — Нет, не пойду.
He says he has lost the money but I don't think he has (вместо he has lost the money) — Он говорит, что потерял эти деньги, но я так не думаю.
2) Если в предложении содержится более одного вспомогательного глагола, то можно опустить все вспомогательные глаголы, кроме первого. Кроме того, можно опустить все глаголы, кроме первых двух или трех вспомогательных."He could have phoned her." "Yes, he could" (или...could have) — Он мог позвонить ей. - Да, мог.
I hadn't been offered the job, though my friend had (или...had been) — Мне не предложили эту работу, хотя моему другу предложили.
3) Если в предложении нет вспомогательных глаголов (а также невспомогательных be и have),то основной глагол (Main verbs) можно заменить на форму глагола do (в нужном времени)."I didn't take the book." "No one thinks you did" — Я не брал этой книги. — Никто и не думает, что ты ее брал.
I knew just as well as he did how impossible my explanation was — Я знал так же хорошо, как и он, насколько невероятным было мое объяснение.
4)а) Если глаголы be и have употреблены как основные, а не как вспомогательные, после них можно опустить слова, как после вспомогательных глаголов"I'm not easy to deal with" "I thought you were" — Со мной не так-то просто иметь дело. - А я думал, с вами просто ладить.
She is so beautiful. She really is! — Она так красива. Просто чудо!
"Do you think he has a sense of humour?" "I think he has (does)" — Думаешь, у него есть чувство юмора? Думаю, есть.
б) Тем не менее, если слова опускаются после глагола have в значении деятельности (например, have a shower, have a good time, have lunch), то его предпочтильнее заменить на глагол do.I expected to have a good time at the party but I didn't — Я думал, что хорошо проведу время на вечеринке, но ошибся.
5) В британском варианте английского языка после модального вспомогательного глагола может идти глагол do, заменяющий собой остальную часть высказывания (см. American and British English: grammar 6))."Will you see him tomorrow?" "I might (do)" — Ты его завтра увидишь? — Может быть.
6) Глагол be не может быть опущен после вспомогательного глагола.He is not a good painter now and never will be — Он и сейчас не является хорошим художником и никогда им не станет.

49 State verbs
↑ Verb1) Глаголами состояния называются глаголы, которые описывают состояние души, тела или сознания, а также постоянные отношения.К глаголам состояния относятся, в частности, английские глаголы appear (в значении "казаться"), assume - полагать, be - быть, believe - верить, считать, belong - принадлежать, consider (в значении "считать"), consist - состоять, contain - содержать, cost - стоить, depend - зависеть, detest - питать отвращение, envy - завидовать, equal - быть равным, exist - существовать, expect - ожидать, feel (в значениях "вызывать ощущение","быть на ощупь" и "считать"), fit - быть впору, forget - забывать, hate - ненавидеть, have (в значении "обладать"), hear - слышать, include - включать, know - знать, lack - не хватать, like - нравиться, look (в значении "выглядеть"), love - любить, matter - иметь значение, mean - значить, need - нуждаться, owe - быть должным, own - владеть, possess - обладать, prefer - предпочитать, realize - осознавать, remember - помнить, see (в значениях "воспринимать зрением", "понимать"), seem - казаться, smell (в значении "пахнуть"), taste (в значении "иметь вкус"), tend - иметь тенденцию, think (в значении "считать"), understand - понимать, want - хотеть, wish - желать, weigh (в значении "весить").2) Глаголы состояния обычно не употребляются в формах времен группы Continuous. Вместо времени Present continuous употребляется время Present simple, вместо Present perfect continuous - Present perfect и т.д. Нельзя сказать, например, * I've been knowing him for only two days. Вместо этого говорят I've known him for only two days - Я знаком с ним всего два дня.3) Некоторые английские глаголы в одних значениях являются глаголами состояния и не употребляются с временами группы Continuous, а в других значениях не являются глаголами состояния и могут употребляться в формах времен группы Continuous.а) Глаголы consider и think употребляются в Continuous в значении "находиться в процессе мыслительной деятельности", но не в значении "считать".I' m thinking of you all the time — Я все время думаю о тебе.
I think you are not right — Думаю, вы не правы.

I' m smelling a flower — Я нюхаю цветок.
Now that lotuses are blossoming the river smells good — Теперь, когда цветут лотосы, у реки приятно пахнет.
г) Глагол see употребляется в Continuous в значении "встречаться", но не в значениях "воспринимать зрением", "понимать".I' m seeing John this afternoon — Я встречаюсь с Джоном после обеда.
I see now what you mean — Теперь я понимаю, что вы имеете в виду.
д) Глагол feel употребляется в Continuous в значениях {"воспринимать на ощупь" и "чувствовать себя, чувствовать эмоции", но не в значениях "вызывать ощущение" и "считать".She was feeling in the dark for a pen — Она в темноте пыталась нащупать ручку.
After antistatic treatment the dress feels soft — После обработки антистатиком платье теперь мягкое на ощупь.
The company feels that it is not good time to invest — Компания понимает, что сейчас не лучшее время для инвестиций.
The actor is appearing on the stage — Актер появляется на сцене.
ж) Глагол have употребляется в Continuous в значении деятельности (например, have a shower, have a good time, have lunch), но не в значении "обладать".I' m weighing myself — Я взвешиваюсь.
I weigh now 60 kilos — Я сейчас вешу 60 килограмм
4) Некоторые глаголы состояния (например, be - быть want - хотеть, like - нравиться, love - любить, remember - помнить, expect - ожидать, hear - слышать) все же могут иногда употребляться в формах времен группы Continuous:They were being very foolish. — Они вели себя очень глупо.

Time
Preposition ► You can usually translate after referring to a point in time using después de:
Please ring after six Por favor, llama después de las seis
I'll phone you after the match Te llamaré después del partido
... Francoism after Franco...... el franquismo después de Franco... ► To translate after + ((period of time)), you can also use al cabo de in more formal Spanish:
After a year in the army, he had had enough Después de (estar) un año en el ejército or Al cabo de un año en el ejército, no lo soportaba más ► Use más tarde que or después que w ith names of people and personal pronouns when they stand in for a verb:
He got there half an hour after us or after we did Llegó allí media hora más tarde que nosotros or después que nosotros ► Translate after + ((-ing)) using después de + ((infinitive)):
Don't go swimming immediately after eating No te bañes justo después de comer
Conjunction ► When the action in the after clause has already happened, and the subjects of the two clauses are different, you can generally translate after using después de que. This can be followed either by the {indicative} or, especially in formal or literary Spanish, by the {subjunctive}:
I met her after she had left the company La conocí después de que dejó or dejara la empresa ► When the action in the after clause has not happened yet or had not happened at the time of speaking, cuando is more common than después de que, though both translations are possible. In both cases, use the {subjunctive}:
We'll test the brakes after you've done another thousand miles Comprobaremos los frenos cuando or después de que haya recorrido mil millas más ► If the subject of both clauses is the same, des pués de + ((infinitive)) is usually used rather than después de que:
He wrote to me again after he retired Me volvió a escribir después de jubilarse This construction is also sometimes used in colloquial Spanish even when the subjects are different:
After you left, the party ended Después de irte tú, se terminó la fiesta For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *
