  • sentence
  • 9323

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie gerundia a slovies, ktoré sa s ním spájajú.

    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.

    2 You must quit smoking.
    5 She loves travelling.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    14 She keeps telling me that.

    Keep (on) doing something znamená robiť niečo ďalej, alebo tiež robiť niečo neustále či opakovane. Napr. You must keep on trying. - “Musíš sa ďalej snažiť.”, He keeps asking me about it. - “Neustále sa ma na to pýta.” ap.

    Exercise 2

  • sentence
  • 9325

    • Upravte vety pomocou gerundia tak, aby sa zachoval ich význam.

    5 She's afraid to fly.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.

    2 It's good for kids to read.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.

    Užitočná konštrukcia s gerundiom je: have a hard time ...ing - mať problémy s čím (ťažko zvládať). Napr.: I had a hard time finding it. - “Mal som čo robiť, aby som to našiel.”, I'm having a hard time understanding. - “Len ťažko rozumiem.”

    Exercise 3

  • fil
  • 9327

    • Doplňte podľa kontextu sloveso v neurčitku alebo v gerundiu a preložte.

    5 It's good see you.
    3 She helped me write the e-mail.
    8 I hate wait .
    10 I hope see you soon.
    6 We like watch TV.
    4 They love shop .
    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    1 I will go run tomorrow morning.
    9 We go swim every week.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    5 I hate it when he smokes here.
    1 I enjoyed the time when I studied in London.
    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.
    7 She was bored when she waited there.
    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.
    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    3 It'll be difficult to tell him.

    Sloveso drive síce znamená šoférovať (ovládať vozidlo), ale v niektorých kontextoch ho možno preložiť tiež ako ísť (autom) alebo zaviezť (autom). Napr.: I'll drive you there. - “Zaveziem ťa tam.”, We drove to town. - “Išli sme autom do mesta.” Drive tiež patrí medzi nepravidelné slovesá! (PT - drove drəʊv, PP - driven ˈdrɪvən.)

    Exercise 5

  • sentence
  • 9330

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie prídavných mien.

    13 I know more interesting books.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?

    3 This month is one day longer.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    12 He wants the newest phone.

    Pri určovaní rozdielu o koľko je niekto väčší, menší ap. sa v angličtine nepoužíva predložka. Ak je však uvedený rozdiel až za prídavným menom, použije sa väčšinou predložka by. Napr. He's a head taller., ALE He's taller by a head.
