Hej! Bok!
Imaš poteškoća s engleskim jezikom? Onda je ovo prava adresa za tebe.
S priručnikom Želim znati više – Engleski jezik 8 možeš poboljšati i utvrditi svoje znanje engleskoga. Kako? Vrlo
jednostavno. Priručnik ima 11 poglavlja koja obuhvaćaju najzahtjevnije gradivo osmog razreda. Svako poglavlje
podijeljeno je na četiri dijela: Tekst, Objašnjenje, Vježbe i Test. Naslovi na vrhu stranice olakšavaju ti snalaženje
tako da uvijek znaš gdje si. U dijelu pod naslovom Tekst susrećeš neki tekst u kojem su predstavljene one
gramatičke strukture koje to poglavlje obrađuje. Te su strukture uvijek obojane tako da ih lakše pronađeš. U drugom
dijelu pod naslovom Objašnjenje objasnit ću ti kako su sastavljene određene strukture i kako ćeš ih upotrebljavati.
Za utvrđivanje tog znanja riješi zadatke u dijelu Vježbe i nakon toga još svoje znanje provjeri u dijelu Test.
Zadaci u testovima su bodovani. Ukupan broj bodova u svim testovima na kraju poglavlja je 45.
Vrijedi sljedeće:
• 0 – 15 bodova: ne znaš još dovoljno (Još jedanput dobro pogledaj objašnjenje.)
• 16 – 30 bodova: znaš već prilično (Utvrdi one oblike koji su ti prouzročili najviše poteškoća.)
• 31 – 45 bodova: znaš mnogo (Bravo! Samo tako nastavi!)
Na kraju priručnika pronaći ćeš i dva testa za ponavljanje cijeloga gradiva.
Svaki test ima 60 bodova koji su također podijeljeni na trećine za koje
vrijedi već navedeno.
Sva rješenja vježbi i testova možeš provjeriti na kraju priručnika među
rješenjima. Ako pak za vrijeme čitanja naletiš na nepoznate riječi,
pomogni si malim rječnikom koji također možeš pronaći na kraju
priručnika.
A sada hrabro! Bez muke nema nauke.
Malo se moraš potruditi i sigurno će ići.

Hello! I’m Rebecca.
This is my mum over
there. She’s got the
main role in the play.’
I love my hair.
I hope for the best.
I hate waiting.
Where’s my hat?
Hello! I’m Rebecca. That’s my mum over there. She’s playing the
main part in tonight’s show – the Moon. She’s wearing a long white
dress. She usually wears earrings, too. But now she isn’t wearing
any. Isn’t she beautiful? At the moment she’s standing in front of
the mirror. She’s got long fair hair and she’s gently brushing it.
I know she is nervous. She’s always on tenterhooks before any play.
But the moment she appears on the stage, she becomes a different
person. She doesn’t see the audience and she doesn’t even feel the
heat of the spotlights. I believe she’ll be perfect tonight.

Test
My mum is an online entertainment editor. Already early in the
morning she turns on her laptop and checks for the news. She
doesn’t like to be behind with the news. After breakfast she
takes Jason, Kelly and me to school. We don’t take the bus
because the school is on mum’s way to work. Then she goes
to her office. She writes stories for the company’s Web site,
updates blogs, monitors story chat and responds to reader’s
questions. Sometimes she interviews celebrities.
Her hobby is theatre and she’s very fond of reading, too. She
owns about a thousand books. Her library contains a priceless
manuscript by a famous American playwright Virginia Pulitzer.
No wonder she’s writing a play. It’s a play for children. She
hopes to finish it by the end of the year.
Can you see the photo on my mum’s desk? She’s shaking
hands with one of the best British actresses. They’re standing
on the red carpet in front of the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
My mum is always going to award ceremonies alone. Alone! It
really winds me up. I’d like to meet famous film stars, too.

Kada želiš opisati događaje koji se događaju u sadašnjosti, upotrijebi Present Simple
ili Present Continuous.
Glagolskim vremenom Present Simple možeš izraziti:
navike:
Already early in the morning she turns on her
laptop and checks for the news.
radnje
koje se ponavljaju:

At 9 o’clock she meets the managing director.
stanja:
She owns about a thousand books.
opće
istine:

The sun rises in the east.
Glagolskim vremenom Present Continuous opisuješ:
radnju koja se upravo događa:
She’s brushing her hair.
radnju koja se događa u određenom razdoblju
u sadašnjosti, ali ne nužno u ovom trenutku:
No wonder she’s writing a play.
radnje
koje te smetaju:

She’s always going to award ceremonies
alone.
Engleski jezik poznaje i takve glagole koji zapravo
ne izražavaju aktivnosti, nego stanja. Obično se
upotrebljavaju u glagolskom vremenu Present
Simple. Možemo ih podijeliti u četiri skupine s
obzirom na to što izražavaju.

glagol. Glagol ostaje
kao u potvrdnom

A juggler is looking for his clubs because he has to appear on stage.
Ako pitaš za subjekt: Tko? – Who?, upotrijebi
pomoćni glagol u trećem licu jednine bez obzira
na to hoće li u odgovoru subjekt biti u jednini ili
množini. Npr. Who is reading? Students are reading.
