7 Where did they get the money? - They spent/sat/sold their house.
3 Did you walk? - No, we went/got/met by car.
6 When did he bring it? - He broke/brought/became it an hour ago.
8 Did she get the car from him? - No, she bought/thought/felt it.
5 Did you call him? - No, I spoke/sent/spent him a message.
1 She couldn't come. She brought/broke/bought her leg.
4 What did he want? - He found/felt/came to speak to you.
9 They made/met/took on the bus and went/gave/became friends.

Pozor! Niektoré nepravidelné tvary bežných anglických slovies majú aj celkom iné významy. Napr. tvar saw je po slovensky aj podstatné meno píla, tvar thought je tiež myšlienka, tvar broke je aj prídavné meno znamenajúce na mizine, bez peňazí. Napr.: I'm broke. - Som na mizine., Som bez peňazí. Found je tvar slovesa find, ale tiež infinitív pravidelného slovesa, ktoré znamená založiť (organizáciu ap.) Môžete teda v minulom čase naraziť na tvar founded, ktorý však nie je tvarom slovesa find! Napr. He founded a city. - Založil mesto. ALE He found a city. - Našiel mesto.

Upravte vety z budúceho času do minulého. Všímajte si analógie.

1 She'll be there.
14 I'll let him know.

5 You'll break it.
11 When will she come?
13 Who will buy it?
4 I'll send it to you.
2 Bob will come alone.
7 We'll go there together.
6 Jane will make dinner.
10 Will you go there?
3 They'll speak about us.
9 Will they send it?
8 He'll give it to her.

Sloveso let má vo všetkých časoch rovnaký tvar, teda aj v minulom čase. Iba v čase prítomnom jednoduchom má s 3. osobou jednotného čísla tvar lets. Napr.: (minulý čas) She let him sleep. - Nechala ho spať., (prítomný čas jednoduchý) She lets him sleep. - Necháva ho spať. ap. Nezamieňajte však lets (pre 3. osobu) a výzvu let's - let us! Napr. Let's go!

Odpovedzte na otázky celou vetou podľa slov v pomôckach.

5 What did you buy? bananas
7 Did anybody call? nobody
12 Did you get my message? no
2 When did he leave? an hour ago

6 Where did you meet? on the bus
4 Who did you send it to? Bob
15 What did he tell you? nothing
1 How did you go there? by car
13 What did he know? nothing

Slovo drunk je 3. tvar (minulé príčastie - PP) slovesa drink, ale tiež prídavné meno opitý. Podobné je to s mnohými anglickými slovesami, napr. so slovesom break a jeho tvarom broken (rozbitý, zlomený), give - given (daný), find - found (nájdený), know - known (známy) či so slovesom go a tvarom gone. Spojenie be gone znamená byť preč. He's gone. - Je preč. (Odišiel.)

Slovo alone znamená slovensky sám, ale iba ak hovoríme, že niekto je bez sprievodu, osamotený ap. Napr.: I live alone. - Bývam sám., Leave me alone. - Nechajte ma (o samote). Ak chceme vyjadriť, že niekto niečo urobil sám (bez cudzej pomoci), treba použiť zvratné zámeno, ktoré mení tvary podľa osoby: I - myself, you - yourself, he - himself. Napr. “Urobil som to sám.” - I did it myself., “Vyrobil to sám.” - He made it himself. ap. Viac pozri Zvratné zámená v Lekcii 11.

Pozor na rozdiel vo význame medzi friend a boyfriend pri preklade slovenského priateľ! Friend je všeobecne priateľ ako kamarát. Boyfriend resp. girlfriend je priateľ resp. priateľka ako partner či partnerka v ľúbostnom vzťahu.
