  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.

    5 She loves travelling.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.

    14 She keeps telling me that.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.
    13 Finding it was hard.
    12 I'm interested in buying 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.

    5 She's afraid to fly.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    2 It's good for kids to read.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    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.
    6 We like watch TV.
    3 She helped me write the e-mail.
    7 He asked me come with him.
    4 They love shop .
    10 I hope see you soon.
    1 I will go run tomorrow morning.
    9 We go swim every week.
    8 I hate wait .

    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.
    7 She was bored when she waited there.
    1 I enjoyed the time when I studied in London.
    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.
    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.

    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.

    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    13 I know more interesting books.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.

    14 What's the most important thing?
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    6 They're much richer than us.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.

    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.
