  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    2 You must quit smoking.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    14 She keeps telling me that.

    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    5 She loves travelling.
    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.

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

    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.

    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.

    6 We like watch TV.
    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    9 We go swim every week.
    10 I hope see you soon.
    4 They love shop .
    5 It's good see you.
    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.
    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    7 She was bored when she waited there.
    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.
    1 I enjoyed the time when I studied in London.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.
    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    3 It'll be difficult to tell him.

    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.
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    3 This month is one day longer.

    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    13 I know more interesting books.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.

    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?”
