1.4. Герундий
Герундий – это форма глагола с суффиксом -ing, которая
объединяет признаки глагола и существительного и указывает
на процесс. На русский язык герундий переводится существительным или глаголом.
В предложении герундий выполняет роль подлежащего,
дополнения или обстоятельства.

24
Building bridges requires careful planning (подлежащее). The
engineer avoided making errors during calculations (дополнение).
They are interested in learning new construction techniques (обсто-
ятельство).
Герундий употребляется в следующих случаях:
а) после предлогов, указывая на процесс: She is interested
in learning new technologies;
б) после глаголов, демонстрируя начало, продолжение или
окончание процесса: She continued working on the project despite
the difficulties.
Герундий также употребляется в сложных конструкциях.
1. Герундиальный оборот: предлог + притяжательное
местоимение / сущ. + V-ing: She was surprised at his arriving late
to the conference. – Она была удивлена его опозданием на конфе-
ренцию.
2. Перфектный герундий: having + V-ed/V3 выражает
действие, которое произошло или завершилось до другого действия. Обычно переводится дополнительным придаточным
предложением со значением после того, как; когда уже; тому,
что: They denied having renovated this historic building. – Они от-
рицали, что отремонтировали это историческое здание.
3. Перфектный герундий (having been + V-ed/V3) в пас-
сивном залоге показывает, что процесс (действие) был завершен
до другого события. Часто переводится как придаточное предложение со значением после того, как…; после выполнения…: The
construction schedule was adjusted after having been analyzed by the
economic team. – График строительства был скорректирован
после того, как его проанализировала экономическая команда.
4. Абсолютный причастный оборот (подлежащее + V-ing
без личной формы глагола) указывает на дополнительное обсто-
ятельство, связанное с основным действием. Он показывает причину, условие или обстоятельства, предшествующие главному событию. Часто переводится придаточным предложением с союзами
поскольку; когда; после того, как. Эта конструкция часто употре-

25
бляется с предлогом with в начале, который не переводится досло-
вно: With the engineers monitoring the stress levels, the workers ad-
justed the support beams. – Пока инженеры контролировали
уровни нагрузки, рабочие регулировали опорные балки.
