  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    10 She's afraid of asking for it.

    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    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.
    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.

    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie prídavných mien.

    10 It'll be more expensive.

    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    1 He's a head taller than me.

    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?”
