Exercise №8

При переводе таких предложений сказуемое, выраженное глаголами to see, post, enjoy ,как правило, переводится словами “отмечалось”, “произошло”, “наблюдалось”, а подлежащее английского предложения становится дополнением или обстоятельством места. Если за таким сказуемым идет дополнение в виде существительного, обозначающего “увеличение” или “уменьшение” чего-то, то в этом случае глагол опускается, а сказуемым становится это дополнение. В некоторых словосочетаниях глагол enjoy, post может переводиться словами “обладать”, “иметь”, “пользоваться”.
