    Exercise 2

    • Doplňte anglicky správne tvary podstatných mien.

    5 My brother is six stôp tall.
    1 I have many priateľov.
    3 There are three muži and four ženy.
    8 dámy and páni!
    6 There are five ľudí.
    4 We have two deti. They have no zuby.
    7 He speaks three jazyky.
    10 He has two manželky.
    9 It's in your rukách.
    2 I need some informácie.

    Tvar množného čísla sa užíva s určitým členom aj v priezviskách rodín. Napr.: The Browns - Brownovi, The Johnsons - Johnsonovi ap.

    Exercise 3

    • Spojte súvisiace výroky.

    • 1 What colour is grass?
    • 2 How many people are there?
    • 3 Can you help me?
    • 4 Is this your car?
    • 5 John is a learner of English.
    • 6 Are those your kids?
    • 7 Have you got any pets?
    • 8 Sorry, I have to go now.
    • c I've got a dog and two cats.
    • h He studies hard.
    • f It's green.
    • e There are few of them.
    • g Have a nice day!
    • b No, it isn't mine.
    • a Yes, what can I do for you?
    • d Yes, they're ours.

    Slovo nice sa používa vo význame pekný hlavne o veciach a javoch! U osôb znamená skôr milý alebo sympatický. Napr.: He's a nice man. - Je to milý pán.

    Exercise 4

    • Doplňte podľa kontextu tvary: there is, there are, is there, are there.

    5 no money here.
    3 no people here.
    8 no time.
    1 a man there.
    7 How many kids ?
    4 any problems?
    2 any coffee?
    10 no information.
    12 Why so many people?
    11 so many problems.
    9 any money?
    6 a book there?

    Slovo so (tak), možno použiť na konci anglickej vety za slovesom vo význame nášho: ..., že áno. Napr.: I hope so. - Dúfam, že áno., I'm afraid so. - Obávam sa, že áno. Používa sa teda ako opak nám už známeho not (..., že nie). Napr.: I hope not. - Dúfam, že nie., I'm afraid not. - Obávam sa, že nie. ap.

    Exercise 5

    • Vyberte správne tvary ukazovacích zámen.

    7 Who are that/those/this men?
    4 Are this/these/that books yours?
    6 These/This/Those money is mine!
    9 Those/This/These is not my luggage.
    8 Is those/this/these your book?
    2 I like that/these/this parrots here.
    1 Who are this/that/those people there?
    10 Is that/these/those the time?
    3 Is these/this/those your car?
    11 Can you see this/those/that children?
    5 Who's those/that/these man?

    Pozor! Slovesá zmyslového vnímania ako see siː (vidieť), hear hɪə (počuť), feel fiːl (cítiť) sa často spájajú so slovesom can. Napr. Can you see it? - Vidíš to?, I can't see it. - Nevidím to. Anglicky teda doslova: “Môžeš to vidieť?”, “Nemôžem to vidieť.”

    Exercise 7

    • Dajte slová do množného čísla a prečítajte celé číselné údaje.

    15 dozen of city
    10 7 million man
    8 3,670 car
    4 78 baby
    7 32 tooth
    11 7.5 thousand
    16 ten of thousand of man
    12 15.79 million
    2 43 bus
    14 thousand of leaf
    13 hundred of people
    9 85,000 dollar
    6 65 woman
    5 124 child
    1 6 foot tall
    3 300 house

    Pozor! V angličtine sa namiesto desatinnej čiarky používa desatinná bodka - point, ale naša desatinná čiarka sa tam bežne používa v číslovkách na oddelenie rádov tisícok. Napr.: 6,745,000 - six million seven hundred and forty-five thousand.

    Pozor na anglickú frázu: So what? Neznamená “Tak čo?”, ako by sa doslova zdalo, ale No a (čo)? (Čo má byť?). Podobný význam má What of it?. Slovenské Tak čo? (Ako to bude?) sa naopak najčastejšie preloží ako Well (then)? (Nuž teda?).
