8 Did she get the car from him? - No, she bought/thought/felt it.
4 What did he want? - He found/felt/came to speak to you.
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.
9 They made/met/took on the bus and went/gave/became friends.
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.

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.

5 You'll break it.

12 I won't tell him!
2 Bob will come alone.
13 Who will buy it?
1 She'll be there.
3 They'll speak about us.
9 Will they send it?

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.

3 When did you get up? at six
13 What did he know? nothing
6 Where did you meet? on the bus

2 When did he leave? an hour ago

1 How did you go there? by car
8 Did they agree? no
9 How long did it take? 1 hour
16 What did you drink? beer
4 Who did you send it to? Bob

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.

12 Dostal som od neho správu.
15 Jej priateľ pred rokom zomrel.
13 Stretol som ho včera.
2 Boli ste tam tiež?
8 Čo si robil včera večer?
3 Neboli doma.

20 Nehovorme o tom!
19 Zabudnime na to.
6 Kedy volala?
7 Odišla pred minútou.
16 Skúšal som to dvakrát.

5 Išiel tam sám?
9 Nemohol som ho zastihnúť.
14 Videl som ju minulý týždeň.
4 Kto tam išiel?
11 Poslala mi správu.

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.
