LIVELLO A1 - GRAMMATICA INGLESE ALFABETO INGLESE: LE 26 LETTERE E LA LORO PRONUNCIA LETTERE TRASCRIZIONE FONETICA PRONUNCIA ITALIANA A [ei] EI B [bi:] BI C [si:] SI D [di:] DI E [ i:] I F [ef] EF G [gi:] GI H [eic] EICH I [ai] AI J [gei] GEI K [kei] CHEI L [el] EL M [em] EM N [en] EN O [∂u] OU P [pi:] PI Q [kju:] CHIU R [a:/ar] A/AR S [es] ES T [ti:] TI U [ju:] IU V [vi:] VI W [d^blju:] DABLIU X [eks] ECS Y [wai] UAI Z [zed] ZED Due pronunce per /th/ Esistono due diversi simboli fonetici per th e sono i seguenti: 1. /θ/ - suono sordo, ovvero rappresenta un suono articolato senza la vibrazione delle corde vocali. 2. /ð/ - suono sonoro, l’emissione del suono comporta la vibrazione delle corde vocali. Ecco alcune parole che presentano questi suoni: /θ/ /ð/ thing this thought that three these think those thanks Il suono Schwa: ə Questo simbolo fonetico ha un nome particolare: Schwa ed è molto comune in inglese. Solitamente rappresenta la sillaba non accentata di una parola. Per rendere il suono schwa devi semplicemente aprire la bocca ed emettere il suono. Per esempio: about si legge /əˈbaʊt/ mother si legge /ˈmʌðə/ La lettera R La lettera r viene pronunciata raramente nel mezzo o alla fine di parola. L’unica occasione in cui viene pronunciata è quando è seguita da una vocale. right /raɪt/ - la r si pronuncia fork /fɔːk/ - non si pronuncia cooker /ˈkʊkə/ - non si pronuncia Eccezione 3: i sostantivi che finiscono con –y Per le parole inglesi che finiscono con la –y preceduta da una consonante, la –y diventa –i e si aggiunge es. Baby - Babies Lady - Ladies Party - Parties Eccezione 4: i sostantivi che finiscono con –f Le parole inglesi che finiscono con –f e –fe prevedono il plurale con –ves. Half - Halves Knife - Knives Life - Lives Eccezione 5: Sostantivi che hanno soltanto il singolare Advice Deer Fish Furniture Hair Information Sheep Eccezione 6: Sostantivi che hanno soltanto il plurale Goods Barracks Darts Scissors Trousers Tweezers Pliers Eccezione 7: Sostantivi che al plurale cambiano le vocali centrali Foot - Feet Man - Men Tooth - Teeth Woman - Women Eccezione 8: Sostantivi irregolari Child - Children Mouse - Mice Person - People Goose - Geese Louse - Lices ARTICOLO DETERMINATIVO E INDETERMINATIVO DETERMINATIVO: In inglese, tutti i sei articoli italiani, sono rappresentati da un unico articolo: "THE", sia al singolare che al plurale. Nota bene: si scrive T-H-E, ma la pronuncia può variare in base a 2 situazioni: 1. nel caso in cui la parola che segue cominci con una consonante, si pronuncia "dhe". The book si pronuncia "Dhe buuk". 2. se la parola comincia con una vocale, si pronuncia "dhi". The egg si pronuncia "Dhi eg". INDETERMINATIVO: In inglese abbiamo due articoli: 1. "A", per le parole che cominciano con una consonante, come nel caso di book, "a book"; 2. "An", per le parole che cominciano con vocale, come per esempio la stessa parola di prima, "an egg". Eccezione 1: lettera H La H in italiano non ha un suono, però in inglese sì, o meglio quasi sempre. Proprio perché la H rappresenta un suono nella lingua inglese, non è necessario mettere la N. "A HOTEL" è la traduzione corretta di "un hotel". Eccezione 2: Non Sound H (H muta) Tuttavia ci sono quattro parole importanti in cui la "H" non suona, la cosiddetta Non Sound H. Nello specifico si tratta di: 1. "Hour", che vuol dire "ora", si legge "auar"; 2. "Honest", che vuol dire "onesto" (oppure "onesta" a seconda del soggetto) e tutti i suoi composti, come "honestly", che significa "onestamente"; 3. "Honour", che vuol dire "onore"; 4. "Heir", una parola un po' meno usata, che significa "erede”. PRONOMI PERSONALI SOGGETTO Io I (scritto sempre in grande) I speak English. Tu You (si usa per dare anche del Lei) You are Italian. Egli, ella, esso He, she, it He is my brother. She is my sister. It is my dog. Noi We We are crazy. Voi You You play football. Essi They They live in England. I Pronomi Personali Soggetto in inglese, contrariamente all'italiano, sono sempre espressi, ed eccezione nei casi in cui frasi coordinate abbiano lo stesso soggetto o nel caso dell’imperativo: Esempi: She loves John and hates me = Lei ama John e odia me Go away! = Vai via! PRONOMI PERSONALI COMPLEMENTO Me Me, mi John kissed me. You Te, ti Caleb called you. Him Lo, gli She loves him. Her La, le He loves her. It Lo, gli, la, le I love it. Us Ce, ci Come with us. You Ve, vi See you later. Them Li, gli, le Nick met them at home. IL VERBO ESSERE: TO BE Il present simple si usa per esprimere fatti abitudinari, fatti veri e certezze. Forma estesa Forma contratta Forma negativa Forma negativa contratta Forma interrogativ a Forma interrogativ a negativa I am I’m I am not I’m not Am I? Aren’t I? You are You’re You are not You aren’t Are you? Aren’t you? He is She is It is He’s She’s It’s He is not She is not It is not He isn’t She isn’t It isn’t Is he? Is she? Is it? Isn’t he? Isn’t she?

RICORDA: Le forme estese sono molto più formali e vengono utilizzate maggiormente nell’inglese scritto, mentre le forme contratte hanno largo utilizzo nel parlato inglese. Le risposte brevi (“sì” e “no” italiani) vengono così formate: 1. Affermativa: Yes + pronome personale corrispondente al soggetto + verbo essere; 2. Negativa: No + pronome personale corrispondente al soggetto + verbo essere al negativo. PRESENT SIMPLE Il present simple si usa: 1. Per esprimere abitudini, azioni generalmente valide, azioni ripetute o situazioni immutevoli, emozioni e desideri. - I smoke (abitudine); - I work in London (situazione immutevole); - London is a large city (dichiarazione generalmente valida) 2. Per dare istruzioni o direzioni. You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left. 3. Per esprimere un impegno prefissato, presente o futuro. Your exam starts at 09.00 4. Per esprimere il futuro, dopo alcune congiunzioni: after, when, before, as soon as, until. He'll give it to you when you come next Saturday. Terza persona singolare: i verbi terminano sempre in -s: he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks. Le forme negative e interrogative usano il DO/DOES + il verbo alla forma base. He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla. I verbi che terminano in -y: alla terza persona la -y diventa -ies: fly --> flies, cry --> cries Eccezione: in caso di vocale prima della -y: play --> plays, pray --> prays Aggiungere -es ai verbi che terminano in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch: he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes PREPOSIZIONI DI TEMPO ● ON: si usa per indicare un giorno, una parte specifica del giorno, una data, una festività, una ricorrenza particolare.

There’s a very smart man in a blue uniform behind the reception desk. ‘I’ve come for an interview,’ I say; ‘but I’m a little late. I’m sorry.’ He smiles at me. ‘We’re running late, too. Don’t worry about it. You have time to have a coffee and clean yourself up. The Ladies is over there.’ He points to a door in the corner, and I go in and look at myself in the mirror. I’ve forgotten to put a comb into my bag, so I have to tidy my hair with my fingers. I look down at my suit. There’s nothing I can do to cover up the stains. When I go back, the receptionist shows me to the waiting room. He offers me coffee from a machine. It’s not very good, but I’m thirsty, and I need to calm down. There’s one other person in the waiting room. His suit is clean, and his hair is tidy. He looks at my dirty suit and smiles. Then he looks at his watch. Is he laughing at me? He goes back to the magazine he is reading. I decide not to stay. I stand up, ready to leave. Then a door opens, and somebody calls my name.

They all smile at me. They ask me to sit down. ‘I’m sorry I’m late,’ I say. ‘It doesn’t matter. We’re late, too.’ One of them looks up at the clock on the wall. ‘We’re expecting our chief engineer, but it’s getting late, so we’ve decided to start.’ I feel better, and I forget about my dirty suit. They ask me several questions, and I can answer them all easily. ‘Thank you for coming. We have one other person to interview, so we can’t give you our decision today.’ I thank them, and get up to go. Suddenly the door opens, and a woman rushes in. She nearly knocks me over. ‘I’m sorry,’ she says. Then she sees me. ‘Oh, it’s you!’ It’s the woman I found in the street who had an accident. She smiles and introduces herself. ‘I’m the chief engineer. I’m sorry I missed your interview, but my colleagues will tell me all about you. Thank you again for helping me.’ When I get outside, I’m shaking. All I want to do is to see David. I call him on the telephone, and we decide to meet at a café in York.

After two days I’m certain that I haven’t got the job. I look at my phone, but there’s no message. I try not to be disappointed. I look in the local newspaper for another job, but there’s nothing interesting. After a few days, David asks me when I’m going home to my own town. ‘Do you want me to go?’ I ask. Suddenly I’m afraid. Is he rejecting me too? ‘No, of course not. In fact, I’ll come with you. I believe there might be a letter for you at home. I don’t think they know my address.’ Of course! How stupid I am! We drive to my home in David’s car, which is new and red and very fast. I see a letter on the floor inside when I open the door. They are offering me the job! The letter is signed by the chief engineer. She says she’s looking forward to meeting me again. I’m very relieved. I feel as if I should find the man with the red bicycle, who knocked her over. He, more than anyone, deserves my thanks!

Leggi il testo e rispondi al vero/falso - The interview (libro semplificato) Chapter 5: A Grand Entrance I walk into the building. It’s cool and quiet inside. There’s a very smart man in a blue uniform behind the reception desk. ‘I’ve come for an interview,’ I say; ‘but I’m a little late. I’m sorry.’ He smiles at me. ‘We’re running late, too. Don’t worry about it. You have time to have a coffee and clean yourself up. The Ladies is over there.’ He points to a door in the corner, and I go in and look at myself in the mirror. I’ve forgotten to put a comb into my bag, so I have to tidy my hair with my fingers. I look down at my suit. There’s nothing I can do to cover up the stains. When I go back, the receptionist shows me to the waiting room. He offers me coffee from a machine. It’s not very good, but I’m thirsty, and I need to calm down. There’s one other person in the waiting room. His suit is clean, and his hair is tidy. He looks at my dirty suit and smiles. Then he looks at his watch. Is he laughing at me? He goes back to the magazine he is reading. I decide not to stay. I stand up, ready to leave. Then a door opens, and somebody calls my name.

They ask me to sit down. ‘I’m sorry I’m late,’ I say. ‘It doesn’t matter. We’re late, too.’ One of them looks up at the clock on the wall. ‘We’re expecting our chief engineer, but it’s getting late, so we’ve decided to start.’ I feel better, and I forget about my dirty suit. They ask me several questions, and I can answer them all easily. ‘Thank you for coming. We have one other person to interview, so we can’t give you our decision today.’ I thank them, and get up to go. Suddenly the door opens, and a woman rushes in. She nearly knocks me over. ‘I’m sorry,’ she says. Then she sees me. ‘Oh, it’s you!’ It’s the woman I found in the street who had an accident. She smiles and introduces herself. ‘I’m the chief engineer. I’m sorry I missed your interview, but my colleagues will tell me all about you. Thank you again for helping me.’ When I get outside, I’m shaking. All I want to do is to see David. I call him on the telephone, and we decide to meet at a café in York.
