GERUND (ГЕРУНДИЙ)

GERUND vs. INFINITIVE

Герундий – неличная форма глагола, которая сочетает в себе свойства существительного и глагола. Герундий образуется прибавлением окончания -ing к глаголу и выражает название действия.

В русском языке подобной формы нет. На русский язык герундий переводится инфинитивом, отглагольным существительным или придаточным предложением.

Запомните следующие глаголы и выражения, после которых употребляется герундий :

accuse smb of -

обвинять кого-либо (в чем-либо)

admit - apologise for - avoid - be good at - be interested in- can’t help - can’t stand - congratulate smb on- consider - deny - enjoy - feel like - give up - go on - go swimming, etc.- like love imagine - insist on - instead of - it’s worth - look forward to- mind - object to - postpone - put off - stop - suggest - thank smb. for -

признавать, допускать извиняться (за что-либо) избегать быть способным к интересоваться, быть заинтересованным быть не в состоянии удержаться от чего-либо (не могу не ….) не выдерживать, не выносить (терпеть не могу) поздравлять рассматривать отрицать, отказываться получать удовольствие, наслаждаться хотеть, испытывать желание бросить, отказаться продолжать заниматься плаванием, и т.п. любить любить представлять настаивать на вместо; вместо того, чтобы стоит с нетерпением ждать иметь что-либо против, возражать возражать откладывать откладывать прекращать, перестать предлагать благодарить кого-либо за что-либо

Например:

This book is worth reading.	Эту книгу стоит прочитать.
Do you mind my smoking here?	Вы не возражаете, если я здесь закурю?
Every time I see her I can’t help smiling.	Каждый раз, когда я ее вижу, не могу не улыбнуться.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Moscow.	C нетерпением ждем встречи с Вами в Москве.
I don’t feel like going to the cinema today.	У меня нет желания идти в кино сегодня.

После следующих глаголов употребляется не герундий, а инфинитив:

agree	соглашаться
arrange decide expect fail forget hope manage need offer plan promise refuse seem want would like	договариваться, устроить решать ожидать не удаваться забывать надеяться справляться нуждаться предлагать планировать обещать отказывать казаться хотеть хотелось бы

Например:

They decided to take part in this project.	Они решили принять участие в этом проекте.
Mr. Smith will agree to give us a discount if we increase our order.	Мистер Смит согласится дать нам скидку, если мы увеличим заказ.

Обратите внимание на различие в значениях действий, выраженных герундием и инфинитивом после глагола to stop.

Stop + Gerund выражает прекращение действия:

When he saw his parents he stopped smoking. Когда он увидел своих родителей, он перестал курить.

Stop + Infinitive выражает цель действия:

Before entering the building, he stopped to smoke. Прежде, чем войти в здание, он остановился покурить.

VINOS VELASQUEZ

A. Sandbach

Top Up Wines

High Wycombe

Bucks.

Dear Mr. Sandbach

Thank you for your letter of 12 June in which you stated that, following the visit of your chief buyer Mr. Lindfield, you are considering placing an order for our Sauvignon Blanc table wine.

We can arrange to supply you with an initial order of 1,000 cases, and I enclose our current trade price list, which I believe you will find very competitive. If you decide to go ahead with the order, we will agree to give you a 14% discount you mentioned and details are enclosed. Please note that we guarantee delivering firm orders within four weeks.

You mentioned that you wanted to market the wine under your own brand name, which will involve changing the labels. I would suggest getting the labels printed here because it is probably not worth having them printed in the UK and then sending them here. I have contacted our personal printer for a quotation and I hope to be able to send you a firm price.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

A. Velasquez
