8.1 KEY GRAMMAR REVISION - PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

Yleisperfektiä käytetään, kun halutaan kertoa menneisyydessä alkaneesta toiminnasta, joka liittyy vielä nykyhetkeen, tai joka jatkuu edelleen.

Perfekti muodostetaan käyttämällä have tai has + verbin 3. muoto.

 
This is Jane. She is 14 years old.

She studies English at school.

She started when she was 11.

She has studied English for 4 years.

(Perfektiä käytetään, koska toiminta jatkuu edelleen.)

 
This is Jane’s mother, she’s 34.

She studied English at school.

She started in 1971 and finished in 1974.

She studied English for 4 years.

(Imperfektiä käytetään, koska toiminta on jo loppunut.)

 
John has lived in Finland for 20 years. John on asunut suomessa 20 v. (Hän tuli 20 vuotta sitten, ja on edelleen täällä.)

Vertaa: Mike lived in Finland for 20 years. Hän asui suomessa 20 vuotta. (Ei asu enää.)

Perfektiä käytetään yleensä sellaisten ajan ilmaisujen kanssa, jotka kuvaavat vielä jatkuvaa aikaa.

a) today, tonight

b) this morning, this afternoon, this evening, this week, this month, this year, this summer

c) since four o’clock, since Tuesday, since June 12th, since yesterday

d) so far, ever (kysymyksessä), just, yet, already, still

 
IMPERFEKTIN JA PERFEKTIN ERO

Katso tätä kysymystä ja vastausta.

1. Have you ever seen the Queen of England? Yes, I’ve seen her once.

2. When did you see her? I saw her in 1989.

Ensimmäisessä kysymyksessä halutaan tietää, oletko koskaan nähnyt kuningatarta. Toisessa kysymyksessä tiedetään jo, että olet nähnyt kuningattaren, mutta haluamme tietää milloin menneisyydessä olet nähnyt kuningattaren, siksi käytetään imperfektiä.

Fifth Avenue

Fifth Avenue is ranked among the world's most impressive boulevards, alongside the Champs Elysees and the Ginza. Here you will discover everything from jewellery to home furnishings, fashions, sporting goods and objets d'art. A stroll up the avenue will take you past some of the most prestigious names in the fashion world, including Tiffany's, Hermes, Bally and St. John. You'll also find famous department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. Not to be missed is Trump Tower, with its marbled atrium, waterfalls and trendy shops.

Empire State Building

When it was built in 1931 it was the highest building in the world, and it stayed the highest building for 41 years. This beautiful and graceful building is 1,454 feet high. You take 3 lifts to get to the observation platform at the top, from where you get a superb view of New York and its surrounding area.

The Statue of Liberty

In 1885 the French government gave this impressive statue to the American people in honour of their alliance in the War of Independence. This amazing work of art is 46 metres tall and weighs over 200 tons. It’s the world’s most famous symbol of liberty. Thousands of tourists visit it every day and there is an observation deck in the crown.

Greenwich Village

This is the bohemian centre of New York. The buildings are low and 300 years ago this really was a village. Today it’s a very fashionable area with tree-lined streets full of restaurants and pubs, night-clubs and cafes. The home of thousands of actors, musicians and students who enjoy its carefree, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Central Park

New Yorkers like to tell you that this is the largest park in the world. In fact it’s two and a half miles long and half a mile wide and it’s the place where New Yorkers go to relax. In Central Park you can jog, go horse-riding, go boating or simply sit on the grass and look at the wildlife. In summer you can also watch dance, music and theatre performances.

8.20 Reading - Facts about Finland

Finland is one of the northernmost countries of Europe, it is located between Russia on the east, Sweden on the west, and Norway on the north. On the west coast Finland is bordered by the Gulf of Finland in the south and the Gulf of Bothnia in the North. About one third of the length of the country lies north of the Arctic Circle.

Because of the hard climate most of the Finnish people live in the southern third of the country, either along the coast on the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland or around the edges of the numerous lakes.

Finland is a stable, progressive country. It has been independent since 1917. Finland was defeated twice by the Soviet Union during World War II. The Finns lost valuable land areas and were forced to pay a lot of money to the Soviet Union. Since that time the Finns have rebuilt their country and have maintained a neutral foreign policy.

Finland's land area covers nearly 340,000 square kilometers . In 1990 there was an average of about 16.4 people per square kilometer. Most of the country is low lying with some small mountains and hilly areas in the far north. There are around 550 000 lakes in Finland and inland water covers about 10 percent of Finland's area. The best land for farming is mainly along the coast and around the inland lakes in south and central Finland.

Finland has a northern continental type climate. In the southern part, winds off the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea prevent severe weather conditions. Northern Finland has long, hard winters and short, cool summers.

Frost can occur during any month in the north, and even in the south the growing season is only three months. Because of the country's far northern latitude, it has long hours of summer daylight. The annual average precipitation ranges from 60 centimeters in the south to 41 centimeters in the far north. Winter snowfall is considerable.
