1.18. Participiul trecut (The Past Participle)
1.18.1. Participiul trecut este forma nepersonala a verbului care denumeste actiunea ca rezultat.
Participiul trecut al verbelor regulate se formeaza de la infinitiv, la care se adauga terminatia -ed: listen -
listened, move - moved, carry - carried, stop - stopped, etc.
(Pentru particilaritatile fonetice si ortografice ale formei în -ed, vezi &1.6.3.)
Pentru forma de participiu trecut a verbelor neregulate, vezi lista principalelor verbe neregulate, pp.12 -
16.
1.18.2. Caracteristicile verbale ale participiului trecut:
a) Participiul trecut este folosit la formarea diatezei pasive, împreuna cu verbul be: Fresh fruit and
vegetables are sold here. Aici se vând fructe si legume proaspete.
b) Participiul trecut este întrebuintat la formarea timpurilor perfecte ale verbelor, împreuna cu verbul
auxiliar have:
Present Perfect: He has read the book. El a citit cartea.
Past Perfect: He had read the book. El citise cartea.
Future Perfect: He will have read the book. El va fi citit cartea.
Past Conditional: He would have read the book. El ar fi citit cartea.
Nota: Verbul go si mai rar come pot reda idea de perfect prezent si respectiv de mai-mult-ca-perfect, cu
ajutorul verbului be la prezent sau Past Tense (în loc de auxiliarul have): The plumber is come. A sosit
instalatorul. The quest were gone. Musafirii plecasera.
1.18.3. Caracteristicile adjectivale ale participiului trecut. Participiul trecut are si caracteristici
adjectivale, putând functiona ca un adjectiv în propozitie.
Sublinierea, fie a naturii verbale a participiului trecut, fie a celei adjectivale, reiese din pozitia acestuia.
Când se accentueaza caracterul verbal, participiul urmeaza substantivul, functionând ca un înlocuitor al
unei propozitii relative: The things not wanted were given away (= which were not wanted).
Când este accentuat aspectul adjectival al participiului, el se aseaza înaintea substantivului: These are
portraits of wanted persons.
1.18.4. Atentie ! Unele verbe au forme speciale pentru participiile trecute folosite adjectival:
a) participiul unor verbe regulate (aged, beloved, learned, cursed, blessed) îsi schimba pronuntia,
adaugând un [id] silabic:

1.19. Verbele auxiliare (Auxiliary Verbs)
1.19.1. Verbele auxiliare au urmatoarele caracterisitici:
1) sunt golite de sens lexical: I shall leave after he comes. Voi pleca dupa ce vine el.
Nota: Unele verbe auxiliare (will/would, shall/should, may/might) pot fi folosite si ca verbe modale: You
should see this film. Trebuie sa vezi filmul acesta.
Alte verbe auxiliare pot fi folosite si ca verbe notionale, având un sens lexical propriu în anumite
contexte: I have a book. Am o carte. Do this translation, please, will you. Fa te rog aceasta traducere.
2) îndeplinesc functia de marca a categoriilor gramaticale de diateza, mod, timp, persoana si numar la
verbele pe care le însotesc: She was offered flowers. I s-au oferit flori.
3) înlocuiesc verbele notionale în raspunsurile scurte si întrebarile disjunctive (la fel ca si verbele
modale): A: Do you like this book ? B: Yes, I do. He has written a good composition, hasn’t he ?
4) din punct de vedere al pronuntarii si ortografiei, verbele auxiliare apar adesea sub forme reduse,
contrase, ele fiind de obicei neaccentuate în vorbire. Folosirea formelor contrase este caracteristica
vorbirii curente si exprimarii familiare în scris.
Nota: Unele forme contrase sunt caracteristice exprimarii dialectale sau vorbirii necultivate. He ain’t no
fool (= He is no fool) El nu e prost deloc.
Ele apar ca forme incorecte din punct de vedre gramatical în raport cu limba standard.
1.19.2. Forme contrase constau în scrutarea berbelor auxiliare la forma afirmativasi a negatiei not la
forma negativa: I’ve got a book. I haven’t got a book.
O forma contrasa poate avea mai multe valori: He’s come = He has come. He’s here = He is here.
Formele contrase ale verbelor auxiliare si modale (la afirmativ si la negativ cu adverbul not contras) sunt
urmatoarele:

aceastascoala ? I don’t like it. He doesn’t understand. They didn’t go.
Nota: 1. Verbul auxiliar be primeste auxiliarul do la imperativul negativ: Don’t be silly ! Nu fi prost(ut) !

americana a limbii engleze: I don’t have enough time to do this. N-am destul timp ca sa fac asta.
b) Do apare în structura formei negative a modului imperativ:

1.20. Verbele modale (Modal Verbs)
1.20.1. Verbele modale exprima atitudinea vorbitorului fata de enunt, actiunea din cadrul acestuia fiind
Vazuta ca posibila, probabila, necesara, obligatorie, de dorit etc.: It might rain later. S-a putea sa ploua
mai târziu. You must meet him at the station. Trebuie sa-l astepti la gara.
Din punct de vedere al caracteristicilor formale, verbele modale englezesti se împart în:
1) verbe notionale exprimând modalitatea (want, wish, order, oblige, advise, intend, mean, prefer, etc.)
care se comporta ca celelalte verbe notionale: He wants to see the play. Vrea sa vada piesa. Don’t oblige
him to do this. Nu-l obliga sa faca asta.
2) verbe modale defective (Defective Modal Verbs) (can/could, may/might, must, have to, shall/should,
will/would, ought to, be to, used to, need, dare), care exprima de asemenea modalitatea, dar care din
punct de vedere formal, prezinta anumite caracteristici.
Nota: Termenul de verbe modale folosit pe parcursul lucrarii se refera la verbele modale defective.
1.20.2. Caracteristicile verbelor modale. Verbele modale au urmatoarele caracterisitici:
a) sunt defective, adica le lipsesc anumite forme verbale. În consecinta, nu pot fi conjugate la toate
modurile si timpurile.
Formele pe care le au verbele modale pot fi folosite pentru redarea mai multor timpuri si moduri. Can,
may, must, need si dare, de exemplu, exprima indicativul prezent: I can help you.
Daca ele sunt însa urmate de un adverb de timp viitor, actiunea exprimata de verbul la infinitiv se refera
la un moment viitor: I can only help you next week. Am sa te pot ajuta abia saptamâna viitoare.
Formele aparent trecute ale verbelor modale au valori:
- de Past Tense, conditional si subjonctiv (could, would, might): I could skate when I was a child. stiam
sa patinez când eram copil. I could help you if you wanted me to. As putea sa te ajut daca ai dori. She
lent him the camera so that he could take photos on the trip. I-am împrumutat aparatul de fotografiat ca
sa faca fotografii în excursie.
Nota: Might poate fi folosit cu valoare de Past Tense doar în vorbirea indirecta: She said you might go.
- de conditional si subjonctiv (should): I should like to come tomorrow if you don’t mind. As dori sa vin
mâine, daca nu te deranjeaza. He demanded we should come the next day. A cerut sa venim a doua zi.
- la unele forme care le lipsesc, verbele modale sunt înlocuite de perifraze modale, de anumite constructii
cu sens modal (Modal Equivalents): can - be able to; must - have to; may - be allowed to/permitted to:
Present: You may go now. Poti / Ai voie sa pleci acum.
Past Tense: He was allowed go to. I s-a permis / dat voie sa plece.
Past Perfect: He had been allowed to go out and play before they left. I se permisese sa iasa afara sa se
joace înainte ca ei sa plece.
b) nu primesc s la persoana a III-a singular (cu exceptia lui be to si have to): He must see this play.
Trebuie sa vada aceasta piesa.
c) formeaza interogativul si negativul fara ajutorul auxiliarului do/did (cu exceptia lui have to): Must you
do this ? Trebuie sa faci asta ? She cannot swim. Nu stie sa înoate, dar: Do you have to type that report
? Trebuie sa dactilografiezi raportul ?
pag: 060
d) sunt urmate de infinitivul scurt al verbelor notionale (cu exceptia lui be to, have to, ought to):
She can cook. stie sa gateasca, dar: He has to get up early every day. Trebuie sa se scoale devreme în
fiecare zi.
Când sunt urmate de infinitivul prezent, verbele modaqle se refera la o actiune prezenta sau viitoare: He
might be there now. S-ar putea ca el sa fie acolo acum. She might come later. Ea s-ar putea sa vina mai
târziu.
Când sunt urmate de infinitivul prezent, verbele modale se refera la o acftiune prezenta sau viitoare: He
might be there now. S-ar putea ca el sa fie acolo acum. She might come later. ea s-ar putea sa vina mai
târziu.
Când sunt urmate de infinitivul perfect, actiunea exprimata de verbul notional are un caracter trecut, de
anterioritate: He might have been here before we arrived. S-ar putea sa fi fost aici înainte sa sosim noi.
e) pe plan sintactic, verbele modale defective alcatuiesc un predicat verbal compus împreuna cu un alt
verb la infinitiv: You can buy a TV-set in instalments. Poti sa cumperi un televizor în rate.
În cadrul predicatului verbal compus, verbele modale îndeplinesc o functie dubla:
- functia gramaticala de marca a timpului: He can skate now. stie sa patineze acum. He could skate
when he was a child. stia sa patineze când era copil.
- functia lexicala de exprimare a modalitatii: She can type. stie sa bata la masina. You needn’t type this.
Nu este nevoie sa bati asta la masina.
1.20.3. CAN / COULD. Can este folosit pentru toate persoanele la indicativ prezent.
Could este folosit pentru toate persoanele la Past Tense si subjonctiv-conditional.
Can/could poate exprima:
1) capacitatea (fizica sau intelectuala) de efectuare a unei actiuni: Tom can speak three foreign
languages. Tom stie trei limbi straine. I could run faster than you last year. Puteam sa alerg mai repede
decât tine anul trecut.
Nota: Can urmat de un verb de perceptie senzoriala (see, hear etc,) corespunde aspectului continuu al
verbului respectiv: I can see the car now. I can hear footsteps.
Can exprimând capacitatea fizica sau intelectuala (ability) este înlocuit de be able to/be capable of/know
how to:
Prezent: I can ski now/I am able to ski now. (mai putin frecvent)
Past Tense: I could skate when I was a child. stiam sa patinez când eram copil. (capacitatea de a patina
în general). Although it was very cold yesterday, we were able to skate for an hour. Desi a fost foarte
frig ieri, am reusit sa patinam o ora. (capacitatea de a patina - manifestata în anumite conditii, în special
nefavorabile).
Viitor: I’ll be able to skate next year.
Conditional: Would you be able to manage by yourself if it was necessary ?
Could you manage by yourself if it was necessary ?
Te-ai putea descurca singur daca ar fi nevoie ?
Atentie ! Diferenta de sens între could si was/were able to se pierde la negativ sau cu verbe de perceptie:
I couldn’t ski yesterday as the weather was very bad.
I wasn’t able to ski yesterday as the weather was very bad.
I couldn’t see him in the dark.
I wasn’t able to see him in the dark.
pag: 061
2) Can este folosit pentru a exprima permisiunea, ca o alternativa a lui many în exprimarea familiara: A:
Can I borrow your umbrella ? B: Of course you can. Pot sa iau umbrela ta ? Desigur.
Could este folosit pentru a exprima permisiunea în trecut: On Sundays we could stay in bed until ten
o’clock. Duminica aveam voie sa stam în pat pâna la ora 10.
În acest sens, can/could poate fi înlocuit de be allowed to, be permitted to: On Sundays we were allowed
to stay in bed until ten o’clock.
3) Posibilitatea datorita circumstantelor se exprima astfel:
Prezent: You can ski at Predeal now. There is enough snow.
Past Tense: We could ski at Predeal last year. There was enough snow.
Viitor:
It will be possible for you to ski at Predeal, there will be plenty of snow in December.
You will be able to ski at Predeal, there will be plenty of snow in December.
Forme de conditional: It’s foggy. The airport could be closed. If he had enough money he could buy a
bicycle.
4) Can/could sunt folosite pentru a exprima: o cerere, rugaminte politicoasa: Can you wait a few
moments ?
Could este mai politicos decât can.
5) Could + infinitivul perfect este folosit pentru a exprima capacitatea nerealizata de efectuare a unei
actiuni în trecut: She could have helped me. (But she didn’t). Ar fi putut sa ma ajute.
6) Can’t/couldn’t + infinitivul prezent al verbului be exprima o deductie negativa despre un eveniment
prezent: A: I’m hungry. B: You can’t be hungry. You’ve just had your dinner.
Can’t/Couldn’t + infinitivul perfect exprima o deductie negativa despre un eveniment trecut: A: Did Ann
type the report ?
B: She can’t/couldn’t have typed it. She hasn’t learned to type yet.
