The correct construction of sentences in English is impossible without knowledge of the basic laws of the formation of their structure. So, in Russian, to describe any situation, it is enough to take the words involved in it (names of concepts, objects, etc.) and connect them together using endings formed by declension in cases and numbers. However, the English language is devoid of such endings, and therefore the correct description of the situation can be achieved only if the words are arranged in sentences in a certain way.
Simple sentences and their classification
Simple English sentences are divided into two types - non-common and common. The former consist only of the subject and the predicate. It is important that the subject is in the first place, and the predicate is in the second. For example: "The bus stopped" ("The bus stopped").
The second type of simple sentences, in addition to the main members, involves the entry of minor ones (addition, definition, circumstance). The construction of sentences in English using secondary members allows us to clarify the main situation. For example: "The yellow bus stopped at the station" ("The yellow bus stopped at the station"). In this case, the first minor member of the sentence (yellow) acts as a definition and explains the subject (the bus), and the second - the circumstance of the place (at the station) and refers to the predicate (stopped).
construction scheme
As mentioned above, the endings in English words remain unchanged, so each word must be in the place strictly provided for it (this is called direct word order). Otherwise, the essence of the proposal will be distorted, and the person who reads it will receive incorrect, sometimes even opposite, information. And if in Russian we can say: “Yesterday I went to the cinema”, “I went to the cinema yesterday”, or “Yesterday I went to the cinema”, then the existing sentence schemes in English do not allow this.
Whereas in Russian the essence of the situation will be clear, even if the words are reversed, in English everything is different. For example, regardless of whether we say in Russian "Jack hit Jim" or "Jack hit Jim", the information will be received correctly. But in English, two such sentences as "Jack hit Jim" and "Jim hit Jack" have the opposite meaning. The former translates to "Jack hit Jim", while the latter translates to "Jim hit Jack". To avoid such misunderstandings, it is necessary to build sentences in English according to the following scheme: put the subject in the first place, the predicate in the second, the addition in the third and the circumstance in the fourth. For example: "We do our work with pleasure". It is also acceptable to place the circumstance of place and time before the subject, for example: "At the moment I am cooking dinner".
Negative sentences with not
Negative sentences in English have the following structure:
- Subject.
- The beginning of the predicate.
- Negative particle not.
- The end of the predicate.
- The nominal part of the predicate.
Examples include the following negative English sentences: "I'm not reading the book" or "I have not seen Kelly in a while" ("I haven't seen Kelly in a while = I Haven't seen Kelly in a while."
If verbs in Present Simple or Past Simple are used in negative sentences, then they are reduced to the form “do/does/did + main form”. For example, "I do not like mice" ("I do not like mice"), "She does not need help" ("She does not need help") or "Steven did not look tired" ("Steven did not look tired").
Negative sentences with negative words
In English, the negative type is possible not only using the particle not, but in another way. We are talking about building a construction with the content of negative words, which include the following: nobody (no one), never (never), nothing (nothing), none (none), nowhere (nowhere).
For example: "Nobody wanted to bring chair" ("No one wanted to bring a chair"). It is worth noting that in English one sentence cannot contain both the particle not and the negative word. So, the phrase “I don’t know anything” is translated into English as “I know nothing” and by no means “I do not know nothing”.
Interrogative sentences
Interrogative sentences can be presented in the form of general and special questions. So, general questions require a yes/no answer. For example: "Did you like the book?" (“Did you like the book?”) or “Have you ever been in the Paris?” (“Have you ever been to Paris?”). As for special questions, it may be necessary to compose sentences in English of this type when it is necessary to obtain more specific information on the question asked - color, time, name, object, distance, etc. For example: "What is your favorite movie?" (“What is your favorite movie?”) or “How long is the flight to Prague?” (“How long does it take to fly to Prague?”).
In the case of expressing the predicate with the verb to have or to be, general questions are built as follows: first the predicate, and then the subject. In the case when the predicate includes a modal or it is he who is placed before the subject. In the case of expressing the predicate with a verb in Present or Past Simple, you must use do / does or did.
As for the word order in the construction of a special question, it is the same as in general, except that a question word must be present at the beginning of the sentence: who (who), when (when), what (what), how long ( how long), where (where), how (how).
Imperative sentences
Considering the types of sentences in English, one cannot fail to mention imperative sentences. They are necessary to express a request, an inducement to some action, an order, and also a prohibition when it comes to the negative form.
The imperative sentence assumes a direct word order, but first the verb is put: “Give me my pen, please” (“Give me my pen, please”). In some cases, this construction may consist of only one verb: "Run!" (Run!). Wanting to soften the command or turn it into a request, the speaker can use would you, will you or won't you by placing them at the end of the sentence.
exclamatory sentences
The construction of sentences in the English language of the exclamatory type is carried out according to the same scheme as the usual one, however, they should be pronounced emotionally, and in writing at the end of such a construction, for example, “You are very beautiful!” (“You are very beautiful!”) or “I’m so happy!” ("I'm so happy!").
In the case when an exclamatory sentence requires additional reinforcement, you can use the interrogative words what and how. For example, "What a big house it is!" (“What a big house!”), “What a sad movie!” (“What a sad movie!”) or “How well Matt can dance!” ("How well Matt dances!"). It is worth noting that in the case of using the subject in the singular, the indefinite article a or an is required.
Complex sentences: definition and classification
In addition to simple sentences, there are also complex ones that are formed by combining the first. Compound and complex are types of sentences in English that have a complex structure. The difference between them is that the former is a construction consisting of two independent simple sentences, and the latter is the main and one or more dependent (subordinate) sentences.
Compound sentences are built with the help of such as and (and), or (or), but (but), for (because), yet (nevertheless). As for the unions that are used for education, they are divided into the following groups:
- causes/effects: since (since), because (because), therefore (for this reason, therefore), so (therefore, so);
- time: before (before, before), while (while, while), after (after), when (when);
- others: although (despite the fact that), if (if), though (although), unless (if only).
In all simple sentences that make up complex ones, a direct order must be maintained. There are a huge number of sentences in the English language, but regardless of their type, the basic rule of construction must be observed.
Types of conditional sentences
In English, they are used to describe a situation with various features. They can take various forms, but in most cases the following construction is used: "If Condition, (then) Statement" (If Condition, (then) Statement). For example, "If it is warm, many people prefer go to the park" ("If it's warm, many people prefer to go to the park"), "If you buy this dress, I will give you free gloves" ("If you buy this dress, I'll give you free gloves").
There are three types of conditional sentences in English. The first is used to denote real, feasible conditions relating to any of the times (future, present, past). To build such a construction in its main sentence, the verb is used in the future form, and in the subordinate clause - in the present.
The second describes unrealistic conditions that refer to the future or present. To create such a sentence in its main part, the verb should or would is used and the verb in the base form without the particle to, and in the subordinate clause - were for the verb to be or the Past Simple form for all the rest.
And the third covers unfulfilled conditions in the past. The main part of the sentence is built using the verb should / would and the verb in the present tense, and the subordinate clause is the verb in the Past Perfect form.
Sentences in English may have a completely different word order than in Russian. At the same time, during the translation, it is worth adhering to certain rules, for example, if in Russian we see first the main part of the sentence, and then the subject, then in English it may be different. Consider different English sentences with translation in order to clearly see how sentences should be translated from one language to another.
- grandmother has come! => Grandma is here!
- Daddy has arrived! => Dad has arrived!
- My friends have come too late => My friends have come too late.
- You are having very good time => You are having a great time.
Take a close look at these offers. You will notice that they consist of a different number of words. The first two are uncommon, the second two are common.
Non-common ones are those in which only the main (main) members of the sentence are present, namely, the predicate and the subject. As for the common ones, there are also other (minor) members. They are circumstances, definitions, additions, etc.
Examples of translation of simple sentences (common and non-common):
- mother says. => Mom says.
- Children are playing. => Children play.
- Grandfather has done. => Grandpa did.
- Mary is her best friend. => Mary is her best friend.
- The girl is enjoying the sunshine. => The girl enjoys the sunshine (warmth).
- The boy is smiling to her. => The boy smiles at her.
Features of translation when there is no subject
If we talk about simple sentences, then it is important to remember that they are divided into several types. Categories need to be known in order to correctly translate sentences. For example, in personal sentences that denote a pronounced person or thing, the subject may be absent, but this does not mean that it does not need to be translated:
- My mother will come in a minute. => My mother will come in a minute (subject present).
- She looks at the window. stands up. Sits down. Again stands up. She doesn't know what to do. => She looks out the window. Rises. Sits down. He gets up again. She doesn't know what to do.
The example shows that the word she is not in all sentences, but, nevertheless, it is implied there. You don't need to use the word "she" in every sentence. She gets up. She sits down. She gets up again. It is not right. Enough to translate she once, and then it is clear from the meaning that the word in the sentence should be.
Features of translation from one and they
When we talk about indefinite personal sentences, then the subject expresses something indefinite (an object or a person). In order to convey this something (indefinite) in English, for translation we use one and they:
- One can study English only if he wants to. => A person can only learn English if he wants to (you can't force a person to do something).
- One can bake a cake only if he knows how to do it. => A person can bake a cake only if he knows how to do it.
- One can become a policeman only if he is a brave one. => Only those who are brave can become a policeman.
- They say the summer will be hot. => They say the summer will be hot.
- They say the meeting will be very interesting. => They say that the meeting will be very interesting.
The examples clearly show that when translating into Russian, we omit some words that are present in English. For example, they. Yes, we write They say, and not just say, but translate without they: they say rather than they say. A similar situation with the word One. In our examples One translates as man and cop, but the translation is not limited to these words. Everything depends on the context.
Features of the translation of impersonal sentences
An interesting situation with the translation lies ahead in impersonal sentences. The peculiarity of such proposals is that they do not have an active person. How to translate them into Russian? Without a subject.
Here are some examples:
- It is snowing. => It's snowing.
- It is sunshining. => The sun is shining.
- It is cold. => It's cold.
- It becomes dark very early. => It gets evening very early.
In English impersonal sentences we use it, which is not translated in Russian. We omit this part of the sentence.
More sentences with translation into Russian:
- It seems that you have seen this man before. => It seems that you have already seen this person before.
- It is known that these guys are very talented. => Know that these guys are very talented.
- It becomes deeper and deeper step by step. => Step by step it gets deeper and deeper.
Note! English sentences cannot be translated word for word. They need to be translated comprehensively. For example, in the last sentence, we first translate step by step, and then - It becomes deeper and deeper, although in the sentence the opposite is true. You can, of course, translate Getting Deeper Step by Step, but Step by Step Getting Deeper sounds better.
Features of the translation of compound sentences
Such sentences necessarily have coordinating conjunctions. neither .. .nor, as well as, not only ... but also, but, etc. Such sentences, consisting of two or three parts, are also separated by commas. It is easier both for perception and for translation.
On a note! Simple sentences in compound sentences should be pronounced with a falling intonation.
- A cold wind was blowing and a snowstorm began. => A cold wind was blowing, and a snowstorm began.
In this sentence, the coordinating element is and, but the sentence is compound, not simple. The fact is that both sentences (simple, part of the complex) have a predicate and a subject. If we took, for example, It was cool and windy, then it is clear that this is a simple sentence, because It was applies to cool, and to windy.
But in the proposal A cold wind was blowing and a snowstorm began we see two separate full sentences - 1) A cold wind was blowing, and 2) a snowstorm began.
Here are some more examples:
- The metal is made up of irregularly shaped grains, and these tiny grains are the bundling blocks of the metal. => The metal consists of grains of irregular shape, and these smallest grains are the building mass of the metal.
- I wanted to buy a baby Chihuahua so I started to save my money. => I wanted to buy a chihuahua puppy, and so I started saving money.
- His dog has won many prizes, but she doesn't know many tricks. => His dog has won many awards, but she doesn't know a lot of tricks.
- I will be glad to help you; I love to cook. => I'll be glad to help you; I like to cook.
Note! Compound sentences can be translated without conjunctions. A good example is the last sentence.
In addition to compound sentences, sentences are also complex, and they, in turn, also have their own subspecies. That's another topic for that. We will consider it in our other articles.
Summing up
When we study English sentences with translation from Russian into English, it is better to start training with simple ones, and then take on complex ones. If you learn how to correctly translate easy sentences, then you will learn how to competently cope with complex ones. In the latter case, you will need to learn the coordinating conjunctions that are connecting between sentences. Exercise regularly and improve your skills. Good luck!
In Russian, we can build a sentence however we want. We can say: “I bought a dress yesterday”, or “I bought a dress yesterday”, or “I bought a dress yesterday”, etc.
In English, the word order in a sentence is fixed. This means that we cannot rearrange the words as we like. They must stay in their designated places.
It is difficult for beginners to learn English to understand and get used to this.
Therefore, many often build English sentences using the word order as in Russian. Because of this, it is difficult for the interlocutor to understand the idea that you want to convey.
In this article, I will explain to you how to build sentences in English correctly, so that you can compose them competently, and any foreigner can easily understand you.
From the article you will learn:
What is a fixed word order in a sentence?
Offer- a combination of words that expresses a complete thought.
As I said, in Russian we can rearrange the words in a sentence the way we want.
For example:
We'll go to the cinema.
We'll go to the cinema.
Let's go to the cinema.
As you can see, we can rearrange the words in a sentence, and this will not prevent the other person from understanding the idea that we want to convey to him.
In English, word order is fixed.
Fixed- fixed in a certain position.
This means that the words in the sentence have their places and cannot be rearranged.
Correctly:
We will go to the cinema.
We'll go to the cinema.
Not right:
To the cinema we will go.
Esl and the word order in the English sentence is wrong, then it will be difficult for the interlocutor to understand what idea you want to convey to him.
Let's take a closer look at how to correctly build all kinds of sentences in English.
Attention: Confused by the English rules? Find out how easy it is to understand English grammar.
Word order in an affirmative English sentence
affirmative sentences- This proposals where we affirm some idea. Such sentences do not contain negation and do not imply an answer.
We can claim that something:
- Happening in the present (We are building a house)
- Will happen in the future (We will build a house)
- Happened in the past (We built a house)
In English, affirmative sentences use direct word order.
The direct word order is that the 1st and 2nd places in a sentence are always occupied by certain words.
Let's take a closer look at this scheme for constructing affirmative sentences.
1st place - main character
Actor (subject)- the person/thing that performs the action in the sentence.
It could be:
- The object or person itself: mother (mother), Mary (Mary), cup (cup), chairs (chairs), etc.
- A word that replaces an object or person (pronoun): I (I), you (you), we (we), they (they), he (he), she (she), it (it)
For example:
Tom...
Volume....
She….
She is....
2nd place - action
action (predicate)- shows what happened, is happening or will happen.
That is, the action itself (verb) can stand:
1. In the present tense: study (study), work (work), sleep (sleep), eat (eat)
2. Past tense, which is formed with:
- adding the ending -ed to regular verbs: studied (studied), worked (worked)
- 2nd / 3rd forms of irregular verbs: slept / slept (slept), ate / eaten (ate)
Whether the verb is correct or incorrect, we can look in the dictionary.
3. In the future tense, which is usually formed using the auxiliary verb will: will study (I will study), will work (I will work), will sleep (I will sleep).
For example:
We travel.
We are travelling.
Tom left.
Tom is gone.
She will work.
She will work
Important nuance
It is worth remembering one important nuance. In Russian there are sentences in which we omit the action.
For example:
She is a teacher.
Children in the park.
Tom is smart.
In English sentences, the action must always be present, we cannot omit it. This is a very common mistake among students.
In such cases, we use verb to be. This is a special kind of verb that we use when we say that someone:
- Is somewhere (Children in the park)
- Is someone (She's a teacher)
- Is somehow (Tom smart)
Depending on the time in which we use this verb, it changes its form:
- Present tense - am, are, is
- Past tense - was, were
- In the future tense - will be
For example:
She is a doctor.
She is a doctor. (literally: She is a doctor)
Children are smart.
Children are smart. (literally: Children are smart)
I am at home.
I'm at home. (literally: I am at home)
Read more about the verb to be in each tense in the following articles:
- Verb to be in present tense
- Verb to be in past tense
So, direct word order means that certain words are in the 1st and 2nd places.
Let's see what it looks like again.
| 1 place | 2nd place | 3rd place |
| Actor | Action or verb to be | Other members of the proposal |
| I | work | here |
| my sister | lived | in New York |
| A cat | is | gray |
| They | were | at school |
Now let's look at how to build negative sentences.
Word order in a negative English sentence
Negative sentences- when we deny something. That is, we say that something:
- Doesn't happen (She doesn't work)
- Didn't happen (She didn't work)
- Won't happen (She won't work)
In Russian, to form a negation, we put the particle "not" before the action: not I come not I will read, not bought.
In English, to form a negation, we use the particle "not" and an auxiliary verb. See how this changes our word order:
Let's take a look at this diagram in detail.
1st place - character
Negative sentences also use direct word order, so the protagonist comes first.
2nd place - auxiliary verb + not
Auxiliary verbs- these are words that are not translated, but only serve as pointers.
They help us determine:
- Time of what is happening (present, future, past);
- Number of actors (many or one).
Read more about auxiliary verbs in this article.
Each tense in English has its own auxiliary verb (do/does, have/has, did, had, will). Let's look at the auxiliary verbs of the three most used tenses.
1. Present simple tense (Present Simple Tense):
- does, when we talk about someone in the singular (he, she, it)
- do, for all other cases (me, you, we, they)
2. Past Simple Tense: did
3. Future Simple Tense: will
To show negation, we add the particle not to our auxiliary verb or the verb to be: does not, do not, did not, will not.
3rd place - action
After the auxiliary verb with the particle not, we put an action, which is now negative.
For example:
He does not work.
He does not work.
they will not buy.
They won't buy.
Remember: When we say that we did not do something in the past and use the auxiliary verb did, we no longer put the action itself in the past tense.
Since the auxiliary verb already shows us that it happened in the past.
Not right:
We didn't work ed.
We didn't work.
Correctly:
We didn't work.
We didn't work.
So let's take another look at the construction of a negative sentence.
| 1 place | 2nd place | 3rd place | 4th place |
| Actor | Auxiliary verb + not | Action | Other members of the proposal |
| I | do not | work | here |
| my sister | does not | study | study |
| People | will not | buy | a car |
| They | did not | build | the house |
Negative sentences with the verb to be
If the sentence uses the verb to be, then we simply put not after it.
Let's look at the plate.
| 1 place | 2nd place | 3rd place | 4th place |
| Actor | verb to be | Particle not | Other members of the proposal |
| I | am | not | a doctor |
| They | were | not | at home |
| A cat | is | not | gray |
Now let's look at the last type of sentence - questions.
Word order in an interrogative English sentence
Interrogative sentences These are sentences that express a question and suggest an answer to it. For example: Do you work?
In Russian, affirmative and interrogative sentences differ only:
- intonation (in speech)
- sign "?" at the end of a sentence (in writing)
In English, a statement and a question look different. Unlike statements, interrogative sentences have reverse word order.
The reverse word order means that the main character will not be in the first place.
Let's take a closer look at how to construct such sentences.
1st place - auxiliary verb
To make a sentence interrogative, you need to put an auxiliary verb in the first place in the sentence. I talked about them Auxiliary verb
Interrogative sentences with the verb to be
If the sentence uses the verb to be instead of the usual action, then we simply transfer it to the first place in the sentence.
Let's look at the diagram:
| 1 place | 2nd place | 4th place |
| verb to be | Actor | Other members of the proposal |
| Is | she | a doctor? |
| Are | they | at home? |
| was | a cat | grey? |
Exception:
When we build a question with the verb to be in the future tense - will be, then we put only will in the first place. And be itself comes after the character.
For example:
Will she be a teacher?
Will she be a teacher?
Will they be at home?
Will she be at home?
So, we examined the word order in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences. Now let's practice building such sentences in practice.
Reinforcement task
Translate the following sentences into English:
1. I will go to the store.
2. She is beautiful.
3. We didn't buy a dress.
4. My girlfriend is in the park.
5. Has she read the book?
6. Is the house expensive?
And now we will look at examples of the basics of making simple sentences to express the past, present and future tense.
Building sentences in the Simple group
affirmative sentences
Let's start with Present Simple. All affirmative sentences are built according to the following scheme:
- "I" in this example is the subject. Do not confuse it with the object, since the subject performs the action, and it is performed on the object. Moreover, in Russian, the order of words is not important to us, because it is already clear who performs the action. We can freely say: "I eat the cake." But in English, it’s not possible to build a sentence like this, because the one who performs the action must be in the first place, otherwise they will simply laugh at you when you say: “The cake eats me.” Even through the passive voice, such a phrase will sound very strange.
- In second place should be the predicate, which expresses the action itself. In Russian, there are often sentences with an incomplete grammatical basis, where there is no subject or predicate, or both are absent. In the latter case, we are dealing with an impersonal sentence: "Dark." In English, there must always be a subject and a verb. So, if there is no verb in the Russian sentence, then in English it will definitely appear. Take for example a one-part sentence in which there is no predicate: "The phone is on the table." To translate it correctly, we need to use the verb "to be", which will connect the subject with the predicate. As a result, the phrase will literally be translated as: "The phone is on the table."
- In third place, the secondary members of the sentence lined up according to a certain rule: first there is a direct object (answers the question “who?”, “What?”, “Who?”), then indirect (answers the same questions, but with the prepositions “with whom ?”, “to whom?”, etc.). This rule is not always observed and is not strict.
As in Russian, English verbs change depending on the person. The main changes occur in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), where the suffix "s" or "es" is added to the predicate. As a result, we get the sentence: "He goes to school."
Negative sentences
In addition to the affirmation, there is also a negation, the scheme of which is as follows:
In this scheme, all the same components are found, except for the linking verb "do" and the particle "not", which is equivalent to the negative particle "not" in Russian. What is an auxiliary verb and why is it needed? Unlike Russian, where we simply put the “not” particle before the verb, in English, the “not” particle must be preceded by an auxiliary verb. It is different for each tense, and in the case of Present Simple, it will take the form of either “do” or “does”, depending on the number and person of the subject. Example: "She does not go to school".
Interrogative sentences
So, we have considered the affirmation, negation, and we are left with a question, the formation of which also requires an auxiliary verb:
So, we have analyzed with you the basic principles for constructing various types of sentences in Present Simple. Past Simple and Future Simple are built in a similar way, the main differences will be in the form of the auxiliary verb.
Building sentences in the Future Simple
Statement
The scheme for constructing a statement in a simple future tense (Future Simple) is as follows:
The auxiliary verb will indicates that the action takes place in the future tense, and the phrase would be translated as: "I will go to school."
Negation
Negation is built using the particle "not" already known to us and the auxiliary verb "will".
Question
Any question begins with an auxiliary verb, so when building a question, simply put will in first place.
past simple
Statement
When constructing a statement in the past tense of the Simple group, there is a small feature: the suffix "ed" is added to the verb.
I deliberately omitted the school example because it uses an irregular verb. Most verbs form the simple past tense by adding the suffix "ed" to the stem (cook - cooked), but there are about 470 verbs, according to the Oxford dictionary, that form the past tense according to their canons. Our verb “go” also falls into their number, which will change the form to “went”: “I went to school”.
Negation
The negative in the simple past tense is constructed similarly to the Present Simple, with the only difference being that the form of the auxiliary verb "do" acquires the past "did".
Question
The question is also built by analogy with Present Simple. We only change the form of the auxiliary verb to the past.
So we studied the construction of sentences in the entire Simple group. The main thing is to remember the schemes for all three types (statement, denial and question), do not forget about how the word forms of verbs in the 3rd person singular change and memorize the main irregular verbs in order to achieve automatism in speech.
Building sentences in the Continuous group
In the Continuous group, there is always an auxiliary verb “to be”, a change in the form of which will tell us when the action is happening: yesterday, now or tomorrow. In this group, there is also always a participle I, similar to the real participle in Russian. The participle itself is built by adding the suffix "ing" to the verb (go - going).
Statement
We will not deviate from the structure and consider the formation of time in the Present Continuous.
The forms of the verb "to be" video change depending on the person, and here the matter is not limited to changes only in the 3rd person singular. Forms are easy to remember.
In the past tense, the auxiliary verb changes its form to "was" or were" depending on the person and number.
The scheme for constructing a sentence in the Past Continuous will be as follows:
The future tense in this group is formed without any changes, just put the future tense verb “will” before the auxiliary “to be”:
Denial and question
The construction of the negation and the question occurs according to the general scheme for constructing sentences: when negating, we put “not” after the auxiliary verb, and when we ask, we put the auxiliary verb in the first place.
To build the past form, you need to change the form of the auxiliary verb to "had".
To build the future form, we additionally put “will”.
Denial and question
Negation and the question are built in the classical way: the particle not after had (when negating), had in the first place (when asked).
Denial and question
| Negation | Question |
|---|---|
| I have not been going. | Have I been going to school? |
These sentences are given only for the sake of an example, in practice you will hardly find yourself in a situation where you will need to express yourself in Perfect Continuous. It will be much easier and faster to build a phrase from the Simple and Continuous groups.
Simplified table of formation of all types of sentences in all tenses
For those who are new to tenses, this article may seem a little chaotic, so as a result, I offer you a ready-made table with the formation of sentences in all tenses, so that it is easier for you to see the whole picture. You can use it as a cheat sheet in the initial stages of studying temporary structures. The table is taken from the Peekaboo resource.
