  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    2 You must quit smoking.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    12 I'm interested in buying it.

    14 She keeps telling me that.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    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.

    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    5 She's afraid to fly.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    13 I know more interesting books.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    4 He's one of the greatest ...

    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    6 They're much richer than us.

    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?”
