  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    3 I can't imagine working there.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    11 Going there is a bad idea.

    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    10 She's afraid of asking for it.
    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    13 Finding it was hard.

    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.

    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    2 It's good for kids to read.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.

    5 She's afraid to fly.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    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.

    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    9 We go swim every week.
    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.
    8 I hate wait .
    10 I hope see you soon.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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.

    2 She's two years older than me.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.

    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    12 He wants the newest phone.

    1 He's a head taller than me.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    13 I know more interesting books.

    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?”
