  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    5 She loves travelling.
    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.

    10 She's afraid of asking for it.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    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.

    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    5 She's afraid to fly.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    2 It's good for kids to read.

    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.

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

    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.
    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.
    7 She was bored when she waited there.
    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    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.

    3 This month is one day longer.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    2 She's two years older than me.

    13 I know more interesting books.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    14 What's the most important thing?
    10 It'll be more expensive.

    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?”
