  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    12 I'm interested in buying it.
    7 Drinking alcohol is bad for you.
    13 Finding it was hard.

    3 I can't imagine working there.
    6 Your room needs cleaning.
    5 She loves travelling.
    10 She's afraid of asking for 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.

    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    10 It wasn't easy to find it.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?
    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    5 She's afraid to fly.

    2 It's good for kids to read.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    2 I hate it when I have to wait.
    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.

    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.
    5 I hate it when he smokes here.
    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.)

  • sentence

    • Preložte. Sústreďte sa na použitie prídavných mien.

    6 They're much richer than us.
    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    3 This month is one day longer.

    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.
