Основное содержание урока

Do you think that only your family members or your pets live in the flat or house? Oh, no. There is also secret life – household pets (бытовые насекомые) that live together with you side by side. The most popular house insects are cockroaches (таракан). Cockroaches are glad to live in warm and dark places. They are gross (отвратительный) and carry nasty diseases (неприятное заболевание). You will have difficulty in getting rid of cockroaches. Bedbugs (клоп) usually live in bedrooms. They feed on (питаться) our blood while we sleep. Don’t let your room get too warm as bedbugs lay eggs (откладывать яйца) in warm temperatures. Keep it cool! It is hard to see dust mites (пылевой клещ), because they are tiny. These insects like eating dead skin and hair. Remember to vacuum (пылесосить) your flat or house regularly. This will help to get rid of (избавляться) them.

GRAMMAR

После некоторых глаголов может употребляться как инфинитив с частицей to, так и -ing форма глагола. После таких глаголов как like/love/prefer/don’t mind/can’t stand употребляется -ing форма глагола.

Например: Dust mites like eating dust. Cockroaches can’t stand living in bright places.

После модальных глаголов can/must/may употребляется инфинитив без частицы to. Например: you may think, they can carry, cockroaches can live. После выражений look forward to/have difficulty (in)/be used to употребляется -ing форма глагола.

Например: Bedbugs have difficulty laying eggs in cool bedroom.

После прилагательных kind/sad/lucky/clever/glad употребляется инфинитив с частицей to.

Например: They are always glad to do.

После глаголов manage/ want/expect/offer/help/promise употребляется инфинитив с частицей to.

Например: Vacuuming helps to get rid of dust mites.

После глаголов let/make/hear/see/feel употребляется инфинитив без частицы to.

Например: Don’t let them live.

Обратите внимание на конструкцию to hear/see/feel/watch sb do/doing sth, в которой существительное или личное местоимение в косвенном падеже (him, her, them, me) вместе с инфинитивом или причастием образуют единое дополнение, называемое в грамматике Complex object (сложное дополнение). Использование инфинитива или причастия указывает на завершённость/незавершённость действия.

Сравните: I saw Nina crossing the street. Я видела, как Нина переходила улицу (процесс, незавершённое действие).

I saw Nina cross the street.

Я видела, что Нина перешла улицу (свершившийся факт).
