  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    4 I couldn't help laughing.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    10 She's afraid of asking for it.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    11 Going there is a bad idea.

    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    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.

    2 It's good for kids to read.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    5 She's afraid to fly.

    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.

    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.
    4 They love shop .
    6 We like watch TV.
    9 We go swim every week.
    8 I hate wait .
    1 I will go run tomorrow morning.
    7 He asked me come with him.
    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    10 I hope see you soon.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    6 They're much richer than us.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    3 This month is one day longer.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    2 She's two years older than me.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    13 I know more interesting books.
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    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.
