PREFACE
This book is intended for upper-intermediate and advanced students. It consists of two parts - a grammar section and a practice section. The grammar section is a comprehensive survey of forms, structures and functions of the verbals (non-finite forms of the verb) with a special emphasis on their use in modern English. The use of the verbals is illustrated with numerous examples.
The exercises contained in the practice section are based on authentic examples taken from the English fiction of the second half of the 20th century and newspapers published in the 1990s. The exercises follow the corresponding units in the grammar section, so, before doing them, students should study the relevant rules and examples in the grammar section. Students are also advised to use English dictionaries, which may be necessary both when they are studying the grammar units and when they are doing the exercises.
THE VERBALS
According to their functions in a sentence verb forms can be classified into finite and non-finite. The finite forms perform the function of the predicate. The non-finite forms, sometimes called verbals, can perform various functions in a sentence except that of the simple verbal predicate.
The verbals include the Infinitive, the Gerund and the Participle. The verbals have some features in common. First, they can show whether an action expressed by a verbal is simultaneous with the action expressed by the finite verb, or precedes it. To denote precedence we use perfect forms of the verbals. Second, all the verbals can be used:
a) singly: • Annoyed, she went out of the
room
(single participle II).
b) in a phrase: • She spent whole days reading
books
(participle I in a phrase).
c) in a predicative construction: • She noticed him look back
(infinitive construction) = She noticed that he looked back.
The verbals used in a construction are in predicate relation to a noun or a pronoun, that is in relation similar to that between the subject and the predicate.
