  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    3 I can't imagine working there.
    5 She loves travelling.
    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    14 She keeps telling me that.

    13 Finding it was hard.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    12 I'm interested in buying it.
    10 She's afraid of asking for it.

    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.

    2 It's good for kids to read.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.

    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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.

    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?

    13 I know more interesting books.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    6 They're much richer than us.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.

    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.
