7 Where did they get the money? - They spent/sat/sold their house.
2 He had no money. I gave/gone/given him 20 dollars.
8 Did she get the car from him? - No, she bought/thought/felt it.
3 Did you walk? - No, we went/got/met by car.
1 She couldn't come. She brought/broke/bought her leg.
5 Did you call him? - No, I spoke/sent/spent him a message.
9 They made/met/took on the bus and went/gave/became friends.
6 When did he bring it? - He broke/brought/became it an hour ago.
4 What did he want? - He found/felt/came to speak to you.

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.

7 We'll go there together.
8 He'll give it to her.
9 Will they send it?
13 Who will buy it?
5 You'll break it.
6 Jane will make dinner.
11 When will she come?

4 I'll send it to you.
2 Bob will come alone.
3 They'll speak about us.
10 Will you go there?
12 I won't tell him!
1 She'll be there.

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.

2 When did he leave? an hour ago
14 What did you speak about? you
11 Did he make any mistakes? many
3 When did you get up? at six
12 Did you get my message? no
7 Did anybody call? nobody
13 What did he know? nothing
4 Who did you send it to? Bob
15 What did he tell you? nothing

6 Where did you meet? on the bus
5 What did you buy? bananas
10 Did Bob lose it? no, I
16 What did you drink? beer
9 How long did it take? 1 hour

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.)

Povedzte po anglicky.

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.
