  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    4 I couldn't help laughing.
    5 She loves travelling.
    14 She keeps telling me that.

    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    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.

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

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    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.
    3 This month is one day longer.
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    13 I know more interesting books.

    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    15 Will they be more satisfied?

    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    2 She's two years older than me.

    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?”
