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

    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    5 She loves travelling.

    3 I can't imagine working there.
    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    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.

    5 She's afraid to fly.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    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.

    9 We go swim every week.
    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    6 We like watch TV.

    8 I hate wait .
    7 He asked me come with him.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.

    3 It'll be difficult to tell him.
    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.

    10 It'll be more expensive.

    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    1 He's a head taller than me.

    6 They're much richer than us.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    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.
