Translate all the words in the sentence. Use a dictionary thicker - so you can more clearly determine the meaning of some words that have several meanings. If possible, make a "reverse translation" in the English-Russian dictionary. Write down the words in the order in which they appear in the sentence.

Determine which verb is predicate. According to the grammar reference, specify at what time it is used in the original sentence. If the topic of the lesson is the study of a temporary form, it greatly simplifies your work. Guided by the rule, use the specified formula.

3

Find the subject in the sentence. In accordance with the rule of the formation of sentences in English, arrange all the words. If in doubt, consult the grammar guide.

4

Correctly insert the articles in the sentence. Remember that nouns in English, unlike Russian, can not do without the article. In 90%, singular nouns have the article a / the.

5

Arrange the prepositions. When translating a sentence into English, consider the following. If in Russian the words answer the questions "who? Why?" (genitive), in English, most often, they are used with the preposition of. If the connecting questions are "by whom? By what?" (instrumental), preposition - by. If the case in the Russian language is dative, and the questions are “to whom? What?”, In English words can be combined with the preposition to.

Try checking your translation using online services. But do not really trust them, because the system of the correct correlation of tenses, words and cases in them is poorly configured. It is best to use such resources to verify the correct translation of the individual words in the sentence into English.
