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

    12 I'm interested in buying it.

    9 I'm tired of listening to her.
    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.

    6 It'll be better to go by car.
    1 John likes to swim in the sea.
    4 Is it good to eat late at night?

    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.

    2 He enjoys drive to work.
    4 They love shop .
    8 I hate wait .
    3 She helped me write the e-mail.
    7 He asked me come with him.
    9 We go swim every week.

    Exercise 4

  • sentence
  • 9328

    • Skráťte výrok pomocou gerundia.

    8 It isn't always faster to drive to work.
    6 It's not much fun to sit at home.

    7 She was bored when she waited there.

    4 She doesn't like it when I drink.
    1 I enjoyed the time when I studied in London.
    2 I hate it when I have to wait.

    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.
    6 They're much richer than us.
    3 This month is one day longer.

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

    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.
