Падежи
В английском языке два падежа имен существительных:
the Common Case (общий)
the Possessive Case (притяжательный)
Существительное в общем падеже может выступать в качестве подлежащего, дополнения, определения или обстоятельства и переводиться существительными или прилагательными в соответствующих падежах.
|
|
"Mr Brown was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. |
Мистер Браун был директором (тв.п.) фирмы (р.п.) под названием "Груннингс", которая производила сверла (в.п.). |
Существительное в притяжательном падеже выражает принадлежность одного предмета другому предмету или лицу. Оно является определением к другому существительному, ставится перед ним и обычно переводится существительным в родительном падеже или прилагательным, согласованным с существительным, которое определяет.
|
|
Mrs Brown was Mrs Bursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years |
Миссис Браун была сестрой миссис Базли (р.п.), но они не виделись уже много лет. |
Существительное в притяжательном падеже единственного числа образуется путем прибавления 's к существительному единственного числа в общем падеже. Но если существительное в общем падеже оканчивается на -s, -ss или -x, притяжательный падеж образуется путем прибавления только апострофа ('), такое окончание произносятся как [iz]:
Larry turned towards the Bursley’s house. |
Ларри повернулся к дому Базли (семьи Базли). |
Существительное в притяжательном падеже множественного числа в случае, если в общем падеже множественного числа оно оканчивается на -s образуется путем прибавления к окончанию только апострофа (')..
