  • sentence
  • 9323

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

    8 He won't mind you calling him.
    11 Going there is a bad idea.
    5 She loves travelling.
    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    10 She's afraid of asking for it.

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

    9 It's hard to sleep in this noise.
    3 It's dangerous to ski here.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    7 It'll be faster to use a key.
    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.
    8 It's expensive to take a taxi.

    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.

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

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

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

    3 This month is one day longer.
    8 I bought the cheapest car.
    14 What's the most important thing?
    5 That's the stupidest idea of all!
    10 It'll be more expensive.
    11 I bought it at a lower price.
    13 I know more interesting books.
    4 He's one of the greatest ...
    15 Will they be more satisfied?
    6 They're much richer than us.

    7 She's more intelligent than him.
    2 She's two years older than me.
    9 Chinese is harder than English.
    12 He wants the newest phone.

    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.
