L’impératif en anglais c’est le verbe à l’infinitif sans que le « to » soit présent
Dance : danse
Eat : Mange
Let’s go : allons y
Il existe aussi d’autre temps en anglais comme le Conditionnel
Le conditionnel permet de :
• Parler de choses susceptibles de se produire.
• Parler de choses qui pourraient se produire mais qui ne sont pas très probables.
• Parler de choses qui auraient pu se produire mais ne se sont pas produites.
1ère forme du conditionnel :
• (condition) « If » + present simple + (conséquence) « will » + base verbale
• On retrouve aussi la construction inverse : (conséquence) « will » + base verbale + (condition ) « If » + present simple
• Ex If you give me his number, I will call him. Si tu me donne son numero de telephone, je l’appellerai
2ème forme du conditionnel :
• (condition) « if » + preterit modal + (consequence) « would » + base verbale
• Ou bien à l’inverse (consequence) « would » + base verbale + (condition) «if» + preterit modal
• Ex If I won 10 millions euros, I would buy a a castle. Si je gagne 10 millions d’euro, j’achèterai un château
3ème forme du conditionnel :
• (condition) « If » + past perfect + (consequence) + “would have” + participe passé
• Et inversement : (consequence) “would have” + participle passé + (condition) “if” + past perfect
• If I had been there at the time, we would never have gotten into so much trouble. Si j’avais été là à l’époque, on n’aurait jamais eu de tels problèmes.
Le subjonctif est un temps anglais pour exprimer le doute, ou une action en cours qui n’a pas encore été réalisée au moment venu.
Le subjonctif
Le subjonctif peut être de forme négative (NOT + FORME INFINITIVE), passive (BE + PARTICIPE PASSÉ) ou la forme continue. (BE + VERBE EN ING).
Le subjonctif ressemble au présent de l’indicatif à la difference qu’il n’y a pas de S à la 3ème personne du singulier.
Voici la structure d’une phrase au subjonctif [SUJET] + [VERBE] + (that) + [SUJET 2] + [SUBJONCTIF]
We ask that he work
Le subjectif est surtout pour mettre en avant le caractère d’urgence ou de l’importance ; c’est un ordre donnée une recommandation.
C’est pour cela qu’il est très souvent utiliser avec les verbes suivants :
• To advise : conseiller
• To ask : demander
• To command : commander
• To demand : exiger
• To desire : désirer
• To insist : insister
• To propose : proposer
• To recommend : recommander
• To request : demander
• To suggest : suggérer
• To urge : inciter à
Ou bien à la suite de ces expressions :
• Il est essentiel / primordial que : It is crucial / essential / imperative
• Il est important que : It is important (that)
• Il est recommandé de : It is recommended (that)
• Il est conseillé de : It is recommended / advised (that)
• Il est urgent que : It is urgent (that)
• Il est vital de : It is vital (that)
• Il est souhaitable que : It is desirable (that)
• C’est une bonne idée de : It is a good / bad idea (that)
