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.
2 He had no money. I gave/gone/given him 20 dollars.
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.
5 Did you call him? - No, I spoke/sent/spent him a message.
7 Where did they get the money? - They spent/sat/sold their house.

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.

10 Will you go there?
7 We'll go there together.
2 Bob will come alone.
5 You'll break it.
9 Will they send it?
8 He'll give it to her.
11 When will she come?

14 I'll let him know.
12 I won't tell him!
13 Who will buy it?
1 She'll be there.
6 Jane will make dinner.
3 They'll speak about us.

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.

13 What did he know? nothing
8 Did they agree? no
15 What did he tell you? nothing
4 Who did you send it to? Bob
9 How long did it take? 1 hour
2 When did he leave? an hour ago
6 Where did you meet? on the bus
3 When did you get up? at six

11 Did he make any mistakes? many
14 What did you speak about? you
1 How did you go there? by car
10 Did Bob lose it? no, I
16 What did you drink? beer

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.)

Zapamätajte si termín marital status (ˈmærɪtəl ˈsteɪtəs) - rodinný stav. Môžete sa s ním často stretnúť pri vypĺňaní formulárov. Typicky sa do kolónky vypĺňa jeden z termínov: single (slobodný/slobodná), married (ženatý/vydatá), divorced (rozvedený/rozvedená), separated (žijúci oddelene) či ev. widowed (ovdovený/ovdovená).

Povedzte po anglicky.

6 Kedy volala?
17 Nechal som to na tvojom stole.
4 Kto tam išiel?
19 Zabudnime na to.
5 Išiel tam sám?
20 Nehovorme o tom!

18 Zabudol som mu to povedať.

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.
