8 Did she get the car from him? - No, she bought/thought/felt it.
1 She couldn't come. She brought/broke/bought her leg.
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.
7 Where did they get the money? - They spent/sat/sold their house.
5 Did you call him? - No, I spoke/sent/spent him a message.
3 Did you walk? - No, we went/got/met by car.
2 He had no money. I gave/gone/given him 20 dollars.

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.

3 They'll speak about us.

7 We'll go there together.
12 I won't tell him!
11 When will she come?

13 Who will buy it?
10 Will you go there?
9 Will they send it?
1 She'll be there.
14 I'll let him know.
4 I'll send it to you.

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.

6 Where did you meet? on the bus
16 What did you drink? beer
2 When did he leave? an hour ago

12 Did you get my message? no
7 Did anybody call? nobody
15 What did he tell you? nothing

1 How did you go there? by car
3 When did you get up? at six
11 Did he make any mistakes? many
8 Did they agree? no
5 What did you buy? bananas

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.

12 Dostal som od neho správu.
8 Čo si robil včera večer?
4 Kto tam išiel?
9 Nemohol som ho zastihnúť.
14 Videl som ju minulý týždeň.
17 Nechal som to na tvojom stole.
15 Jej priateľ pred rokom zomrel.
20 Nehovorme o tom!
18 Zabudol som mu to povedať.
11 Poslala mi správu.
19 Zabudnime na to.
16 Skúšal som to dvakrát.
13 Stretol som ho včera.
7 Odišla pred minútou.
10 Urobil si chybu.
1 Bol som tam včera.
6 Kedy volala?
5 Išiel tam sám?
2 Boli ste tam tiež?
3 Neboli doma.

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.
