Предисловие
Дорогие читатели,
Эта книга создана для тех, кто уже обладает базовыми знаниями английского языка и стремится систематизировать и углубить свои навыки в грамматике через практику и осознанное применение правил. Моя цель — не просто перечислить временные формы, модальные глаголы и грамматические конструкции, а показать, как они функционируют в реальных языковых ситуациях, как их сочетать и использовать для точного, выразительного и естественного общения.
В процессе изучения языка часто возникает ощущение «нехватки структуры»: знаешь отдельные правила, но не всегда понимаешь, как их применять в связной речи, письме или формальных ситуациях. Эта книга построена таким образом, чтобы восполнить этот пробел: каждый блок материала сопровождается систематическим объяснением, примерами употребления и акцентом на типичные ошибки, которых следует избегать. Особое внимание уделено продвинутым аспектам — сложным временам, условным конструкциям, согласованию частей речи, а также нюансам модальных глаголов и устойчивых выражений.
Книга может использоваться как самостоятельное пособие для углублённого изучения грамматики, так и как справочный материал для студентов разных уровней.
