TWORZENIE PYTAŃ

 

Pytania w języku angielskim tworzymy przez inwersję, czyli szyk przestawny. Wyjątkiem są pytania o podmiot.

 

Dwa czasy – Simple Present i Simple Past – wymagają użycia operatora:

 

Simple Present – operatora do/does

 

John lives in Dublin.           Does John live in Dublin?

They speak Russian.           Do they speak Russian?

 

Simple Past – operatora did

 

I went to school here.          Did you go to school here?

Amy had an accident.          Did Amy have an accident?

 

W pozostałych czasach gramatycznych oraz konstrukcjach wystarczy sam szyk przestawny – przesunięcie czasownika posiłkowego (lub czasownika głównego is/have):

 

  1   2      3                             2    1        3

Pat is American.                  Is Pat American?

PRZYIMKI W PYTANIACH

 

Spójrz na poniższy przykład polski:

 

Poszłam do kina z Markiem.

 

Jeśli zapytamy o podkreśloną część zdania, pytanie będzie wyglądało następująco:

 

Z kim poszłaś do kina?

 

Przyimek stojący przed częścią zdania, o którą pytaliśmy, “zawędrował” na początek zdania.

W języku angielskim przyimek zostaje na swoim miejscu!

 

I dlatego zapytamy:

 

I went to the cinema with Mark.   Who did you go to the cinema with?

                                         ↑_________________________________↑

 

Oto inne przykłady:

 

I spent the money on CDs.             What did you spend the money on?

She comes from Sweden.                Where does she come from?

We are waiting for Douglas.         Who are you waiting for?

 

Uwaga! W bardzo formalnym języku możliwe jest powiedzenie:

 

With whom did you go to the cinema?

On what did you spend the money?
