    13 Finding it was hard.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.

    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.

    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    2 It's good for kids to read.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?

    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    5 She's afraid to fly.

    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

  • 9327

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

    7 He asked me come with him.
    1 I will go run tomorrow morning.
    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    8 I hate wait .
    10 I hope see you soon.
    4 They love shop .
    6 We like watch TV.
    3 She helped me write the e-mail.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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.)

  • sentence
  • 9330

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie prídavných mien.

    6 They're much richer than us.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    14 What's the most important thing?

    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    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.

    Bežnú hovorovú frázu používajúcu blízku budúcnosť začujete typicky od čašníka či barmana: What's it gonna be? - slovensky teda “Čo to bude?” či “Čo si dáte?”
