  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.

    12 I'm interested in buying it.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    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.

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.

    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    5 She's afraid to fly.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    2 It's good for kids to read.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    6 They're much richer than us.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    12 He wants the newest phone.

    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.

    10 It'll be more expensive.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    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?”
