Kako se gradi pasiv u engleskom jeziku? Pasiv se gradi od glagola to be (u vremenu u kom je glavni glagol u aktivnoj rečenici) i participa prošlog (past participle) glavnog glagola. Subjekat aktivne rečenice postaje agens (vršilac radnje) u pasivnoj, i često se izostavlja. Ukoliko se ne izostavlja, uvodi se predlogom by, i najčešće se nalazi na kraju pasivne rečenice. aktiv: My grandfather planted this tree. pasiv: This tree was planted by my grandfather. aktiv

Kada se pasiv upotrebljava? Pasiv se upotrebljava:
1. kada je vršilac radnje nepoznat, nevažan ili očigledan iz konteksta: Jane was shot. (Ne zna se ko ju je upucao.)
This church was built in 1815. (Vršilac radnje nije bitan.) He has been arrested. (Vršilac radnje je očigledan.)
2. u cilju ljubaznijeg ili formalnijeg izražavanja: The car hasn’t been cleaned. (ljubaznije) (You haven’t cleaned the car. – manje ljubazno)
3. kada je radnja bitnija nego vršilac radnje, npr., u slučaju procesa, uputstava, događaja, izveštaja, naslova, novinskih članaka, i reklama: 30 people were killed in the earthquake.
4. kada se stavlja akcenat na vršioca radnje: The new library will be opened by the Queen.
Vršilac radnje Kada želimo da kažemo ko je vršilac radnje, koristimo predlog by i ime (by Peter), imenicu (by the teacher) ili zamenicu u objekatskom obliku (by him) na kraju rečenice. Vršilac radnje se spominje samo ukoliko je bitan za dati kontekst: Our house was designed by a famous architect. Vršilac radnje se izostavlja:
1. ukoliko je nepoznat Our car was stolen last night. (Ne znamo ko ga je ukrao.)
2. ukoliko nas ne zanima ko je vršilac radnje ili isti nije bitan He has been taken to hospital. (Ono što je bitno jeste sam događaj.)
3. ukoliko se može zaključiti iz konteksta ko je vršilac radnje The murderer was arrested last night. (Nije potrebno napomenuti da je uhapšen od strane policije.) 4. ukoliko je subjekat aktivne rečenice somebody, people, they, you, itd. Someone broke the window. → The window was broken. Iz aktiva u pasiv
Promena rečenice iz aktiva u pasiv: objekat aktivne rečenice postaje subjekat pasivne Agatha Christie wrote this book. → This book was written by Agatha Christie. glagol prelazi iz aktivnog oblika u pasivni, dok glagolsko vreme ostaje nepromenjeno subjekat aktivne rečenice postaje agens (vršilac radnje) u pasivnoj. Stavljamo ga na kraj rečenice, uz predlog by.
By ili with? Predlog by upotrebljavamo uz vršioca radnje: The door was opened by Mr Black. (Mr Black = vršilac radnje) Predlog with upotrebljavamo uz instrument, predmet ili materijal koji se koristi u okviru određene radnje:
The door was opened with a key. (a key = predmet koji je upotrebljen) The omelette was made with eggs, cheese and peppers. (eggs, cheese and peppers = materijal koji je upotrebljen)
Glagoli sa dva objekta Ukoliko glagol koji se javlja u rečenici ima dva objekta (npr., give somebody something), aktivnu rečenicu možemo promeniti u pasivnu na jedan od sledeća dva načina: nepravi (indirektni) objekat postaje subjekat pasivne rečenice pravi (direktni) objekat postaje subjekat pasivne rečenice Rick gave me (nepravi objekat) this book (pravi objekat). 1. I was given this book by Rick. 2. This book was given to me by Rick. Neki od glagola koji imaju dva objekta: give, tell, send, show, bring, write, offer, pay, itd. Ukoliko se nepravi objekat nalazi posle glagola u pasivnoj rečenici, ispred tog objekta stoji predlog to. The e-mail was sent to Richard. Ukoliko je nepravi objekat aktivne rečenice lična zamenica u objekatskom obliku, prilikom transformacije aktivne rečenice u pasivnu ova zamenicu prelazi u svoj subjektaski oblik. John gave her the flowers. → She was given the flowers.
Future
SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE FUNCTIONS OF THE SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE The simple future refers to a time later than now, and expresses facts or certainty. In this case there is no 'attitude'.
The simple future is used:
To predict a future event: It will rain tomorrow. With I or We, to express a spontaneous decision: I'll pay for the tickets by credit card. To express willingness: I'll do the washing-up.
He'll carry your bag for you. In the negative form, to express unwillingness: The baby won't eat his soup. I won't leave until I've seen the manager! With I in the interrogative form using "shall", to make an offer: Shall I open the window? With we in the interrogative form using "shall", to make a suggestion: Shall we go to the cinema tonight? With I in the interrogative form using "shall", to ask for advice or instructions: What shall I tell the boss about this money? With you, to give orders: You will do exactly as I say. With you in the interrogative form, to give an invitation: Will you come to the dance with me? Will you marry me? Note:In modern English will is preferred to shall. Shall is mainly used with I and we to make an offer or suggestion, or to ask for advice (see examples above). With the other persons (you, he, she, they) shall is only used in literary or poetic situations, e.g. "With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes."
FORMING THE SIMPLE FUTURE The simple future tense is composed of two parts: will / shall + the infinitive without to
Subject will
infinitive without to
Affirmative I
will
go
I
shall
go
Negative They
will not see
They
won't see
Interrogative Will
she
ask?
Interrogative negative Won't they
try?
CONTRACTIONS I will = I'll We will = we'll You will = you'll He will = he'll She will = she'll They will = they'll Will not = won't
The form "it will" is not normally shortened.
TO SEE: SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE Affirmative

We will see
We won't see Will we see?
Won't we see?
*We shall see They will see
*Shall we see? They won't see Will they see? Won't they see?
*Shall is dated, but it is still commonly used instead of "will" with the affirmative or interrogative forms of I and we in certain cases (see above).
PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS USING THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. e.g.
I'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this. I am leaving tomorrow. = I've already bought my train ticket. We're having a staff meeting next Monday = all members of staff have been told about it.
EXAMPLES
Is she seeing him tomorrow? He isn't working next week. They aren't leaving until the end of next year. We are staying with friends when we get to Boston.
Note:In the first example, "seeing" is used in a continuous form because it means "meeting". BE CAREFUL! The simple present is used when a future event is part of a programme or time-table. Notice the difference between: a. We're having a staff meeting next Monday = just that once b. We have a staff meeting every Monday
SIMPLE PRESENT FOR FUTURE EVENTS
The simple present is used to make statements about events at a time later than now, when the statements are based on present facts, and when these facts are something fixed like a time-table, schedule, calendar.
EXAMPLES
The plane arrives at 18.00 tomorrow. She has a yoga class tomorrow morning. The restaurant opens at 19.30 tonight. Next Thursday at 14.00 there is an English exam. The plane leaves in ten minutes.
FUTURE WITH "GOING" FORM When we use going in a phrase to talk about the future, the form is composed of three elements: the verb to be conjugated to match the subject + going + the infinitive of the main verb
Subject
+ to be (conjugated)
+ going
+ inf
She
is
going
to le
I
am
going
to sta
Affirmative He
is
going
to jog.
is not
going
to jog.
Negative He
Interrogative
Is
he
going
to jog?
he
going
to jog?
Negative Interrogative Isn't
FUNCTION The use of going to refer to future events suggests a very strong association with the present. The time is not important, it is later than now, but the attitude is that the event depends on something in the present situation that we know about. Going is mainly used to refer to our plans and intentions or to make predictions based on present evidence. In everyday speech, going to is often shortened to gonna, especially in American English, but it is never written that way.
USING "GOING" FOR PLANS AND INTENTIONS
EXAMPLES
Is Freddy going to buy a new car soon? Are John and Pam going to visit Milan when they are in Italy? I think Nigel and Mary are going to have a party next week. We are going to have dinner together tomorrow. Aren't you going to stay at the library until your report is finished?
USING "GOING" FOR PREDICTIONS
EXAMPLES
He's going to be a brilliant politician. I'm going to have a hard time falling asleep. You're going to be sorry you said that. Is it going to rain this afternoon? Aren't they going to come to the party?
Direct And Indirect Questions In English

WHAT ARE INDIRECT QUESTIONS?
Direct questions are the “normal” questions that we can ask friends, family members, and people who we know well. You can form direct questions using the QUASM model that we learned last lesson. Example of a direct question: “Where’s the bathroom?” Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking to a person we don’t know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is a little different. Example of an indirect question: “Could you tell me where the bathroom is?”
PHRASES FOR INDIRECT QUESTIONS
Could you tell me… Do you know… I was wondering… Do you have any idea… I’d like to know… Would it be possible… Is there any chance…
DIRECT AND INDIRECT QUESTIONS IN ENGLISH: EXAMPLES Direct: Where is Market Street? Indirect: Could you tell me where Market Street is? In indirect questions with is/are, the verb (is) comes after the subject (Market Street). Direct What time does the bank open? Indirect: Do you know what time the bank opens?
In indirect questions, we don’t use the auxiliary verbs do/does/did. Also, you can see that the verb is “open” in the direct question, and “opens” in the indirect question. Direct: Why did you move to Europe? Indirect: I was wondering why you moved to Europe. Again, there is no auxiliary verb did in the indirect question. In fact, this indirect question isn’t even a question – it’s more of a statement that invites the other person to give more information. Direct: How has he managed to get in shape so quickly? Indirect: Do you have any idea how he’s managed to get in shape so quickly? The auxiliary verbs have and has can be used in both the direct and indirect questions – but in the direct question, “has” comes before the subject (he), and in the indirect question, “has” comes after the subject. Direct: How much does this motorcycle cost? Indirect: I’d like to know how much this motorcycle costs. To form the indirect question, remove does and change “cost” to “costs.” Direct: Can you finish the project by tomorrow? Indirect: Would it be possible for you to finish the project by tomorrow? For direct questions with can, we can use the phrase “would it be possible…” to make it indirect. Direct: Can we change the meeting to Thursday? Indirect: Is there any chance we could change the meeting to Thursday? “Is there any chance…” is another option for forming indirect questions with can.
YES/NO DIRECT QUESTIONS –> “IF” IN INDIRECT QUESTIONS If the direct question is a “yes or no” question (it has no question word such as what, who, when, where, why, or how), then the indirect question will have if. Direct: Does Tom like Italian food? Indirect: Do you know if Tom likes Italian food? Direct: Are your parents joining us for dinner? Indirect: Could you tell me if your parents are joining us for dinner? Direct: Do they speak English? Indirect: I was wondering if they speak English. Direct: Has Barbara ever studied abroad? Indirect: Do you have any idea if Barbara’s ever studied abroad? Direct: Do you plan on traveling this summer? Indirect: I’d like to know if you plan on traveling this summer. Present perfect/past simple
Use In British English, the use of Simple Past and Present Perfect is quite strict. As soon as a time expression in the past is given, you have to use Simple Past. If there are no
signal words, you must decide if we just talk about an action in the past or if its consequence in the present is important. Note that the following explanations and exercises refer to British English only. In American English, you can normally use Simple Past instead of Present Perfect. We cannot accept this in our exercises, however, as this would lead to confusions amongst those who have to learn the differences. Certain time in the past or just / already / yet? Do you want to express that an action happened at a certain time in the past (even if it was just a few seconds ago) or that an action has just / already / not yet happened? Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
certain time in the past
just / already / not yet Example:
Example:
I phoned Mary 2 minutes ago.
I have just phoned Mary.
Certain event in the past or how often so far? Do you want to express when a certain action took place or whether / how often an action has happened till now? Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
certain event in the past
whether / how often till now Example:
He went to Canada last summer.
Example: Have you ever been to Canada? / I have been to Canada twice.
Emphasis on action or result? Do you just want to express what happened in the past? Or do you want to emphasise the result (a past action's consequence in the present)? Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
Emphasis on action
Emphasis on result Example:
Example:
I bought a new bike. (just telling
I have bought a new bike. (With this sentence I actually
what I did in the past.)
want to express that I have a new bike now.)
Signal Words Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
yesterday
just
... ago
already
in 1990
up to now
the other day
until now / till now
last ...
ever
(not) yet
so far
lately / recently
Indirect direct questions
Indirect Questions (Download this explanation in PDF here.) Have a look at this conversation. Me: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the nearest station is? Person in the street: Certainly. It's along that road on the right. Me: Thank you. And do you know if there's a supermarket near here? Person in the street: Yes, there's one next to the station. Me: Thank you very much for your help. I use indirect questions when I'm asking for help in the street, because they are very polite. Indirect questions start with a phrase like 'could you tell me...' or 'do you know...'. For example: Direct question: Where is the bank? Indirect question: Could you tell me where the bank is?
Notice that in the indirect question I put the verb ('is') after the subject ('the bank'), in the same way as I do with a normal positive sentence ('the bank is over there'), but in the direct question I put the verb 'is' before the subject 'the bank'. This is called inversion, and it is used to make direct questions in many verb tenses in English, but we don't use inversion in indirect questions. This is very similar to the grammar of reported questions. However, we use indirect questions in a different way from reported questions. Indirect questions are a way of being polite. They are very, very common in English, especially when you're talking to someone you don't know. 'Yes / No' Questions To make an indirect 'yes / no' question, we use 'if' and the word order of a normal positive sentence. This is the same as for reported 'yes / no' questions. On the other hand, we don't usually need to 'backshift' (change the tense of the verb) as we do with reported questions. Of course, most tenses make questions by using 'inversion' (changing the word order). To change from a direct 'yes / no' question with inversion to an indirect question, you add 'if' and change the word order back to a normal positive sentence. You don't need to use inversion.

'Yes / no' questions with tenses that use 'do / does / did': Sometimes you want to make an indirect question using the present simple of any verb except 'be' or the past simple of any verb except 'be'. These tense make direct questions by using 'do / does / did'. When we want to make indirect 'yes / no' questions using these tenses, we need 'if' and we don't need 'do / does / did'. Verb Tense

Present simple with any verb except 'be'
Does David live in London?
Can you tell me if David lives in London?
Past simple with any verb except 'be'
Did Amanda call John yesterday?
Can you tell me if Amanda called John yesterday?
'Wh' Questions In the same way as with reported 'wh' questions, we use the question word and the word order of a normal positive sentence to make indirect 'wh' questions. We don't need to use inversion. Again, we also don't usually need to 'backshift' (change the tense of the verb) as we do with reported questions. To change a direct question to an indirect question for tenses that make questions using inversion, you just add 'if' and change the word order back to a normal positive sentence.

'Wh' questions for tenses with 'do / does / did': Sometimes you want to make an indirect 'wh' question using the present simple of any verb except 'be' or the past simple of any verb except 'be'. Usually these tenses make questions by using 'do / does / did'. However, when we want to make indirect 'wh' questions using these tenses, we don't need 'do / does / did'. Instead, we use a question word and then normal positive sentence word order.

Common Problems It can be difficult to remember to put the verb after the subject, especially when the indirect question is in the present simple tense of 'be'. For example, we need to say: Could you tell me where the station is? NOT: Could you tell me where is the station?
