  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.

    5 She loves travelling.
    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    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.

    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?

    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    5 She's afraid to fly.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    7 She was bored when she waited there.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.
    3 It'll be difficult to tell him.

    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.
    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.
    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
  • 9330

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie prídavných mien.

    14 What's the most important thing?
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    13 I know more interesting books.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.

    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.

    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.
