  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    2 You must quit smoking.
    3 I can't imagine working there.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    4 I couldn't help laughing.

    1 Living with him isn't easy.
    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    14 She keeps telling me that.

    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.
    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.

    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    5 She's afraid to fly.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    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.
    3 It'll be difficult to tell him.
    1 I enjoyed the time when I studied in London.
    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.
    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.

    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.

    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    13 I know more interesting books.
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!

    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    12 He wants the newest phone.
    3 This month is one day longer.

    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    1 He's a head taller than me.
    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?”
