Preliminaries

ExercUe 1. Distinguish between notional and functional words in each sentence of the following passages. State their grammatical types.

I looked at my watch. It was nearly an hour past mid­night. In the corridor the lights were out, except one jet at the end. I threw a cloak upon ray shoulders, put on a Span­ish hat, and left my apartment, listening to the echoes of my measured steps retreating through the deserted passag­es. A strange sight arrested me on the landing of the grand staircase. Through an open door I saw the moonlight shin­ing through the window's of a saloon in which some enter­tainment had recently taken place. I looked at my watch again: it was but one o’clock; and yet the guests had de­parted. I entered the room, my boots ringing loudly on the waxed boards. (G.B. Shaw)

There was deep peace in Kashima till Mrs Vansuythen arrived. She was a charming woman, everyone said so every­where: and she charmed everyone. In spite of this, or, perhaps, because of this, since Fate is so perverse, she cared only for one man, and he was Major Vansuythen. Had she been plain or stupid, this matter would have been intelligible to Kashima. But she was a fair woman, with very still gray eyes, the colour of a lake just before the light of the sun touches it. No man who had seen those eyes could, later on, explain what fashion of wom­an she was to look upon. The eyes dazzled him. (Я. Kipling)

I saw Strickland not infrequently, and now and then played chess with him. He was of uncertain temper. Some­times he would sit silent and abstracted, taking no notice of anyone; and at others, when he was in a good humour, he would talk in his own halting way. He never said a clever thing, but he had a vein of brutal sarcasm which was not ineffective, and he always said exactly what he thought. He was indifferent to the susceptibilities of others, and when he wounded them was amused. (W. S. Maugham)
