Unit 1 The Indicative, Imperative,
and Subjunctive Moods.
Mood. General Information
Mood is the form of the verb that shows in what relation to reality the speaker places the action expressed by the predicate verb.
There are the following three moods in English:
· the Indicative Mood,
· the Imperative Mood, and
· the Subjunctive Mood.
The Indicative Mood presents actions as real facts: We are happy. No one has washed the dishes yet. They invited me to the party.
The Indicative Mood has the categories of tense, aspect, voice, number and person (see Part II): Jane hasn't been here for a year. He is going to college. He can't be relied on.
The Imperative Mood expresses a command or request. The verb in the Imperative Mood has practically only one form which coincides with the stem of the verb: Introduce me to your friend. Don't speak to me in such a tone!
The verb let is used, as a rule, with imperative first and third person expressions, as Let us assemble in the hall! or Let every one sign his name.
The Subjunctive Mood of a verb indicates action or state as supposed or imagined or as contrary to the fact:
If only I had much money! (but I don’t have it) – Если бы у меня были (сейчас) деньги! (но у меня их нет)
If only I hadn’t failed my English exam! (but I failed) – Если бы только я не провалил свой экзамен по английскому языку! (но я провалил).
The Subjunctive Mood
Мы бы спасли его
the if-clause the main clause
Unit 2 Three Types of Conditional Sentences
1. So, both the Indicative Mood and the Subjunctive Mood are used in conditional sentences to express different types of condition and consequence.
The verb in the Indicative Mood in one of the present tenses expresses a real condition and a real consequence:
E X E R C I S E S
Your friend can’t decide where to go on holiday. Make some suggestions about where he/she could go and what he/she could do. (He/She could visit famous buildings; practise languages; eat national dishes; do/watch certain sports).
Model: Spain
If you went to Spain, you could eat paella, lie in the sun, watch a bull-fight and speak Spanish.
1) London; 2) Scotland; 3) India; 4) Mexico; 5) Paris; 6) Italy; 7) Egypt;
8) New York.
10. Translate into English:

4) – Куда бы ты сходил, если бы у тебя было свободное время? – Я бы, конечно, сходил в кино. Очень интересный фильм идёт в нашем кинотеатре.

8) На вашем месте, я бы не принимал столь скоропалительное и необдуманное решение.

14) Если бы он интересовался английским, то использовал бы любую возможность поговорить на языке.
15) Мы бы увидели эту парочку, если бы подождали ещё минутку.
Unit 5 Type III ConditionalS
1. Type III Conditionals assume something purely imaginary in the if-clause and consider the imagined consequences in the main clause.
if-clause main clause
if + Past Perfect would + Perfect Infinitive
If he had tried harder, he would have succeeded.
Other modals can replace would in Type III Conditionals when we feel that the imagined consequences were less likely, or when we are referring to ability, possibility, etc.:
imagined condition imagined outcome
If he had been here yesterday, he could have told us (ability) .
If he had been here yesterday, he might have told us (possibility ).
If he had received a present, he should have thanked her (duty) .
2. Type III Conditionals refer to consequences which did not and could not ever happen because they refer to something that didn't happen in the past.
| If I had seen her, I would have been very glad. | Если бы я увидела её, я была бы очень рада. (но я не увидела её и не могла быть рада) |
If I had worked harder at school, I'd have got a better job (referring to something possible: often expressing regret).
If I had lived in the Stone Age, I would have been a hunter (referring to a completely impossible situation).

The rules of Sequence of Tenses are especially active in Reported Speech when speakers need to introduce grammatical changes to show the differences between their current situation and the situation they are reporting.

Note: admit, advise, boast, insist, threaten, warn, remind can also be followed by a that-clause in Reported Speech.
4. Reported Speech commonly occurs in continuous paragraphs of reported language, not in unrelated sentences. To hold it together such phrases and words as she went on to say, he continued, he added that, and, as, because, but, since, while, then, etc. are used:
“I’m really tired,” she said to him. “Can you make me a cup of coffee?”
She exclaimed that she was tired and asked him to make her a cup of coffee.
We can report:
– statements
– questions
– commands, requests, suggestions, etc.
E x e r c i s e s
Put in tell or say.
1) All the experts … the Earth is getting warmer.
2) Did you … Mark and Roger how to find our house?

8) The company should … its employees what’s going on.
9) You shouldn’t … lies, you know, James.
10) Did you … anything to Bob about the barbecue?
NOTE 1:
a) If the statement is still up to date when reported, then there is a choice. You can either leave the tense the same, or you can change it:
John said he is/was going to Rome in April.(a future event is expressed)
Sarah told me that her father owns/owned a racehorse. (it is possible to say that her father owns a racehorse because it is still true)
Peter told me today that he lost his watch some days ago. (recent report)
Mary said her mother is seriously ill. (the situation hasn’t changed, it’s relevancy at the present moment is emphasized)
b) If the statement is no longer up to date, then the tense is changed.
John said he was going to Rome in April. (now it is May)
Sarah once told me that her father owned a racehorse. (he may no longer own one)
Peter told me last month that he had lost his watch some days before . (remote past report)
Last month I met Mary. She said her mother was seriously ill. (the event is past, the situation might have changed)
NOTE 2: If the verb is Past Perfect or Past Perfect Continuous, it stays the same: “My money had run out.” Daniel said his money had run out.
5. Certain words can change as follows depending on the time reference.
| Direct Speech | Reported Speech |
| tonight, today, this week/month/year Þ | that night, that day, that week/month/year |
| now Þ | then, at that time, at once, immediately |
| now that Þ | since |
| yesterday, last night/week/month Þ | the day before, the previous night/week/month/year |
| tomorrow, next week/ month/year Þ | the following day /the day after, the following/next week/month/year |
| two days/months etc. ago Þ | two days/months etc. before |
| this/these Þ | that/those |
| here Þ | there |
| come Þ | go |
| E.g. ‘Tom is leaving tomorrow,” she said. | She said that Tom was leaving the next day. |
6. There are no changes in the verb tenses in Reported Speech when the direct sentence expresses a general truth. (See Unit 3)

Interview 1
“…It’s not what people think it is. I mean, you would, all you do is, you do all the dirty jobs, you have to clean people’s boots, you have to pick up their kit, wash out the bathrooms, scrub the floors, it’s – things like that. Paint walls. We were doing that sort of thing…”
Report
He said that life for a young professional football player wasn’t what people thought it was. All they did was the dirty jobs: they had to clean people’s boots, pick up their kit, wash out the bathrooms, scrub the floors, paint walls and things like that…
Interview 2
“… Some of the travelling isn’t too-too good. I mean, going up on a Friday night and staying in a hotel. It’s all right, but it’s not – you know, I mean, it takes you away from your family and your kids a little bit. Sometimes travelling can be very monotonous. I mean, that’s a thing you have to put up with, but I think certain things you have to do in travelling are very boring…”
Report…. She said that…
Interview 3
“…Actually imprisonment doesn’t do any good, it doesn’t deter crime, it doesn’t stop crime, doesn’t deter people from committing a crime, and it costs society a lot of money to keep them there, between three and four hundred pounds a week… What deters people from committing crimes is the thought that they are actually going to get caught. Only about 15% of crimes are cleared in Britain. That means 85% of the crimes that are committed are not cleared up. So people think they are not going to get caught…”
Report… He said that…
Interview 4
“…I think that although some lip-service is paid to prison being rehabilitative, that actually it is a straight punishment. By and large in prison you sit and mark time, you have lost your job, you may well lose your family, you may well lose your accommodation while you are there, and you quite frequently come out knowing a lot more about how to break the law, and with a lot less reason not to do it again, because you’ve lost all the other things in the community that keep you from doing it in the first place, so I actually have a fairly negative view overall of what prison does…”
Report… He said that…

It had been a particularly bad winter in Chicago. Nearly forty inches of snow had fallen in a fortnight. Railway workers at Chicago station didn’t know (1) (what/do) with it. The foreman (2) (advise them/shovel) it into huge mountains to keep the platforms clear. He (3) (tell/not leave) any snow on the platforms because it was dangerous for passengers. But it was an impossible task! Suddenly, one of the workers had a bright idea. “I know (4) (how/get rid) of it,” he said. “Let’s load it onto this freight train. We can send it south to Mississippi and New Orleans. It’ll just melt away.” The next day five tons of snow arrived in Memphis, Tennessee. “It’s a welcome gift,” a railway worker said. “We know (5) (what/do) with it here.
