* The verbs “shall” and “will” according to the rules of sequence of tenses have the forms of “should” and “would” in the Future-in-the-Past. In modern English “would” is more common for all persons of the singular and plural. “Should” must be used when it has the meaning “Do you want me to…”

* It will be noted that " few" expresses a negative idea and means " a very small number". It is often used with " very", eg There were very few books on the subject. " A few" expresses a positive idea, especially when used with " quite", eg There were quite a few books on the subject.

* The Present Indefinite Tense is used instead of the Future in adverbial clauses of time and condition introduced by the conjunctions: " when", " before", " after", " as soon as", " till", " until", " if", " unless". The adverbial clause may either precede the principal clause or follow it.

 

* The Future Tense can be used after the conjunctions " if" and " when" if they introduce object clauses.

 

* " Much" is commonly used to intensify the meaning of the comparative degree eg " She speaks English much better than Nick."

 

* Note that the English for Шел сильный снег is " There was a heavy snow-fall" or " It snowed heavily".

* In the principal clause of a complex sentence with an adverbial clause of time introduced by " before" both the Past Indefinite and Past Perfect are possible, eg " The family lived (had lived) in Leningrad before the war broke out."

* Dr: a written abbreviation for " Doctor".

* Some other changes should be observed in reported speech: " yesterday" is changed to " the day before/the previous day", " last Tuesday" to " the previous Tuesday", " last week/month, etc" to " the week before/earlier/previously", " two days, weeks, etc ago" to " two days, weeks, etc before", " at the moment" to " at the time".

** With a definite indication of the time of action, there will be no change in the tense form, eg " I lived in Leningrad when the war broke out, " she said. → She said (that) she lived in Leningrad when the war broke out. He said: " I was born in 1961." → He said (that) he was born in 1961.
