VIII.State the meaning of the modal verbs in the following sentences.

1 It was obviously moving as quickly as it could in order to oblige John.

2. And you needn’t talk anyway.

3. She couldn’t have really wanted to eat me, couldn’t she?

4. But why can she remember and not us?

5. Do you really mean we won’t be able to hear that when we’re older, Mary Poppins?

6. Oh, of course – that must be it…

7. I can always comfort them.

8. They … can say what they like.

9. As if they could have forgetting!

10. …the teeth … came through…as all teeth must…

11. But they wouldn’t believe us.

IX. Reproduce the following sentences in reported speech.

Use the words from Appendix 2

1 I say, move over! You’re right in my eye!

2. I’ve got to get across this room somehow. Orders is orders. I must move from East to West in a day and my way lies through the Nursery. Sorry! Shut your eyes and you won’t notice me.

3. I have my business to attend to. Consultations, discussions, arguments, bargaining. And that, of course, necessitates a certain amount of – er – quiet conversation –

4. …but I like to keep in practice. It does so amuse the Grown-ups. Did you notice that Aunt Flossy nearly went mad with delight when I did it yesterday? The Darling, the Clever, the Marvel, the Creature! – didn’t you hear her saying all that?

5. She liked my trick too…I took off both my socks and she said I was so sweet she would like to eat me. Isn’t it funny – when I say I’d like to eat something I really mean it. Biscuits and Rusks and the knobs of of beds and so on. But Grownups never mean what they say, it seems to me. She couldn’t have really wanted to eat me, couldn’t she?

6. You’ll forget because you just can’t help it. There never was a human being that remembered after the age of one…

7. Why are they crying so, Mary Poppins? They’ve been so quiet all the afternoon – not a sound out of them. What can be the matter?

8. I don’t want teeth if they make me forget all the things I like best.

9. There’re quite good again. I can always comfort them.

10. It’ll seem funny without them, though. Always liked talking to them – so I did. I shall miss them.

X Translate the sentences from English into Russian.

1 I was always amused to see my aunt reading. She used to perch spectacles on her nose and cock her head on the side. When she found something funny she laughed so heartily. And when she was puzzled with something she used to wrinkle up her forehead.

2. Sometimes a couple of calm, quiet words can sober a naughty child.

3. When I see Puppies nibbling bones greedily or gobbling up their food I go mad with delight.

4. Look at that funny parrot! He had swooped down onto the table and plucked a candy from the vase. Now he has returned to his perch and is nibbling the candy with his beak.

5. The man obviously didn’t want to be outdone in courtesy and always spoke in a soft wheedling voice. He gave you compliments to oblige and please you.

6. That chatterbox can talk the leg off a chair. He seems to be an idle and silly person. But really he is rather smart and industrious. It’s his merry spirit that makes him chatter so much.

7. You look like a shop window! I see you have dressed to kill.

8. In the morning shafts of sunlight flickered on the walls and the ceiling.

9. Arrowroot biscuits are good for kids’ digestion.

10. You are saying it so meaningly. What do you want to say?
