2с. Grammar in Use — Применяем грамматику на практике

Комментарий: На самом деле авторы несколько упрощают ситуацию. Так, например, со словами like/love/prefer без потери смысла можно использовать как герундий, так и инфинитив. Чтобы более полно разобраться в ситуациях применения герундия и инфинитива, а также вспомнить то, что вы проходили в прошлом году, не поленитесь прочитать эту тему в нашем грамматическом справочнике.

«Sleep Tight, Don’t Let The Bedbugs Bite!»

You may think your little brother or sister is the only one who wants to «bug» you at home. Well … think again!

BEDBUGS

These insects feed on our blood while we sleep. Yuck! However, they have difficulty laying eggs if the temperature is below 10°C. They are always glad to find a warm place, so keep your bedroom cool!

DUST MITES

You probably have millions of these at home, but they’re far too small to see! Dust mites like eating dead skin and hair. Vacuuming a lot helps to get rid of them.

COCKROACHES

Cockroaches live in warm, dark places. They can’t stand living in clean bright areas. They can carry nasty diseases, so don’t let them live in your house. Don’t expect to get rid of them easily, though! Cockroaches can live for up to a week without their heads! Gross!

«Крепко спи, не дай клопам укусить!»

Ты можешь думать, что твой младший брат или сестра единственный, кто не дает тебе покоя дома. Так… подумай еще раз!

ПОСТЕЛЬНЫЕ КЛОПЫ

Эти насекомые питаются нашей кровью, пока мы спим. Фу! Тем не менее, им трудно откладывать яйца, если температура ниже 10°C. Они всегда рады найти теплое место, поэтому держите вашу спальню в прохладе!

ПЫЛЕВЫЕ КЛЕЩИ

У вас, наверное, миллионы таких дома, но они слишком маленькие, чтобы их увидеть! Пылевые клещи любят питаться отмершими частичками кожи и волос. Пылесос очень помогает избавиться от них.

ТАРАКАНЫ

Тараканы живут в тёплых, тёмных местах. Они терпеть не могут жить в чистых и хорошо освещенных местах. Они могут переносить противные болезни, так что не позволяйте им жить в вашем доме. Не ждите, что от них легко избавиться! Тараканы могут жить до недели без головы! Мерзость!

2. Read the text again. Close your books and make sentences about these insects. Use these phrases: have difficulty in, glad to, like eating, can carry, don’t let, don’t expect. — Прочитайте текст еще раз. Закройте ваши учебники и составьте предложения об этих насекомых. Используйте фразы: have difficulty in, glad to, like eating, can carry, don’t let, don’t expect.

3. Complete the gaps with the verbs in brackets in the correct form. Then do the quiz answering each question Yes or No. — Заполните пробелы глаголами в скобках в правильной форме. Затем пройдите викторину, ответив на каждый вопрос Да или Нет.

Комментарий: В предложении 10 у вас могут возникнуть затруднения. После глагола help обычно ставится инфинитив, причем частица to не обязательна. Однако, в устойчивых выражениях, например, can’t help laughing — не могу не засмеяться и т.п. используется герундий.

Примечание: Со следующими словами применение герундия или инфинитива зависит от того, какой смысл вы хотите передать, поскольку он будет разным:
