  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    14 She keeps telling me that.
    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    2 You must quit smoking.

    4 I couldn't help laughing.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    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.

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    5 She's afraid to fly.
    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.

    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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.

    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!

    3 This month is one day longer.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    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.
