Grammatical difficulties in translation

    The manual familiarizes the reader with the characteristic features of the English language and typical cases of discrepancies with the Russian language. It summarizes those features of English grammar that are difficult for students due to their specificity. The aim of this manual is to familiarize students who have taken an initial course in English with some of the characteristic systemic features of this language and typical cases of divergence from the Russian language. Since the way of expressing thought manifests itself first of all in the structure of the language, in its grammar, the manual reveals the peculiarities of English grammar, moreover, those peculiarities that have been less reflected, and most importantly - not subjected to sufficient elaboration in the educational literature. The manual does not pretend to be a complete and systematic description of the specifics of English grammar, but draws the attention of students to some interesting, from the author's point of view, points that give English speech its unique originality. In addition, the manual discusses such features of the English language as conversion, laconism of English speech, on the one hand, and the tendency to certain complications and redundancy, on the other hand, transitivity of verbs and some other points. Each section of the manual contains theoretical notes with illustrative examples translated by the author. The manual has exercises based on the original language material and aimed at consolidating practical and translation skills.
