    Exercise 2

    • Napíšte anglicky celými slovami číselné údaje.

    10 14,064,559
    8 17,999.5
    1 45 children

    7 2,568
    2 267 people
    3 876.7
    6 86.05

    V angličtine je tiež možné vyslovovať číslovky pomocou násobku celých stoviek podobne ako v češtine, a to aj pre číslovky nad 2000. Napr. 1,200 - twelve hundred, ale tiež napríklad 2,500 - twenty-five hundred ap.

    Exercise 4

    • Spojte výroky. Naučte sa názvy krajín a pomenovania ich príslušníkov.

    • 1 John is English.
    • 2 Lucia is Spanish.
    • 3 Ivan is Russian.
    • 4 Helga and Kurt are German.
    • 5 Bob and Jane are American.
    • 6 Keiko is Japanese.
    • 7 Cheng is Chinese.
    • 8 Luis and Jean are French.
    • 9 Mark and Alison are Irish.
    • 10 Paolo and Valeria are Italian.
    • e They're from Italy.
    • d He's from England.
    • i They're from France.
    • g They're from the USA.
    • c They're from Germany.
    • j She's from Japan.
    • a They're from Ireland.
    • h He's from Russia.
    • b He's from China.
    • f She's from Spain.

    Ďalšie národnosti a ich príslušníkov si môžete naštudovať pomocou slovníka. Neštandardné je napríklad: dánsky - Danish ˈdeɪnɪʃ, ale Dán je Dane deɪn, španielsky - Spanish spænɪʃ, ale Španiel je Spaniard ˈspænjəd. My však už vieme, že: “Je to Španiel.” sa dá povedať jednoducho pomocou adjektíva: He's Spanish. Treba si teda hlavne vždy uvedomiť, kedy použiť anglické podstatné meno a kedy adjektívum.

    Exercise 5

    • Doplňte podľa kontextu správne zámená.

    11 We must know this. Please, let know.

    2 My sister is going out tonight. I'm going with .
    8 Our kids are too young. We can't take with us.
    1 There's my brother. Go ask .

    Sloveso need to sa dnes užíva tiež ako musieť (o nutnosti plynúcej z okolností). Napr.: You need to stop it. - Musíš s tým prestať., You need to listen to me. - Musíš ma počúvať.

    5 It's half to/past/at six. I'm going to/at/for work.
    9 Look at/on/to this photo.
    6 That's the house at/of/to my parents.
    11 We go there on/to/at weekends.
    3 We'll meet in/at/on my place in/at/on the evening.
    4 What are you doing in/at/on Monday?
    7 Don't call me in/at/on night.
    13 She'll be here in/at/to five p.m. I'll speak on/to/at her.

    8 Where is he to/for/from?
    1 He's afraid at/to/of you.

    Sloveso speak sa viaže s predložkou to alebo with (hovoriť s niekým). Speak to všeobecne naznačuje skôr snahu o jednostrannú komunikáciu. (hovoriť k niekomu, hl. z pozície autority ap.). Napr.: I'll speak to him. - Prehovorím (si) s ním. (dohovorím mu ap.) Speak with všeobecne naznačuje skôr dialóg. Napr.: I'll speak with him. - Budem s ním hovoriť. ap.

    Exercise 21

    • Doplňte správne tvary slovies.

    2 Why are you sit here?
    6 Who know about it? I let you know.
    13 Mark enjoy his work.
    4 We're just work on it. It be ready soon.
    1 A man is wait there for you.
    8 They not be now. They be back soon.
    3 My brother speak four languages.
    5 My mum have no time.
    11 I want see it. Can you show it to me?
    12 We'll go shop tomorrow.
    9 Stop it! It's get on my nerves.
    10 What are you read ? My dad read a lot.
    7 How are you feel ?

    Sloveso baviť (čo koho) sa často prekláda anglickým enjoy (tešiť sa z niečoho, užívať si niečo) alebo like (mať rád, páčiť sa). Majte však na pamäti, že oproti slovenčine dochádza pri týchto slovesách k obráteniu podmetu a prísudku! Teda nie, že niečo baví niekoho, ale niekto má rád/si užíva niečo. Napr.: “Baví ma to.” - I enjoy it. Keď niečo niekoho už nebaví, väčšinou sa použije obrat be tired of ..., teda, že už je niekto z niečoho unavený. Napr.: “Už ma to nebaví.” - I'm tired of it.

    Exercise 22

    • Doplňte preklady viet.

    3 Bob má veľa priateľov. Bob a lot of friends.

    11 Urobím, čo budem môcť. I'll do my .

    1 Odkiaľ ste? Where are you ?

    Exercise 23

    • Doplňte vhodné slová.

    6 He isn't here now. We will to wait for him.
    8 He's ! – No, he's wrong!
    11 I'll be back soon. Will you for me?
    2 How is she? – She's 35.
    4 are you? – I'm fine. Thanks.
    5 What's the like? – It's raining again.
    9 Can I with you? – No, you'll stay here.
    7 We're waiting you! You are again.
    1 I'm not afraid him. He's my friend.
    10 Sorry, I have no time. I'm very now.
    13 I'm leaving for London. – Have a safe !
    12 Shall we go bus or car? – We'll a taxi.
    3 What are the kids doing? – They're some games.

    K slovesu leave (odísť kam) sa viaže predložka for, nie to, ako by Slovákovi mohlo napadnúť! Leave vyjadruje, že niekto opúšťa nejaké miesto pre iné. Napr.: I'm leaving Bratislava for London. - “Odchádzam z Bratislavy do Londýna.” ap. Ak po leave nasleduje to, uvádza neurčitok iného slovesa vyjadrujúceho účel. Napr.: He's leaving London to work in New York. - Odchádza z Londýna pracovať do New Yorku.

    Exercise 24

    • Povedzte po anglicky.

    7 Čakáte na niekoho?
    12 Požiadam ho o pomoc.
    9 Chcem navštíviť priateľa v Londýne.
    3 Dajte sa druhou ulicou vľavo.
    4 Bývame v hoteli.
    8 Prídeš?
    2 Nečakajte na mňa.
    13 Bude to stačiť?
    17 Budete musieť počkať.
    11 Pôjdeme?
    5 Zdržíme sa tri dni.
    14 Čo si dáte? (k jedlu)
    20 Šťastnú cestu!
    15 Koľko to bude trvať?
    16 Nie som pripravený.
    6 Vezmeme si taxík.
    19 Vstúpte!
    1 Kam ideš na dovolenku?
    10 Som Slovák.
    18 Je mi horúco.

    Všimnite si, ako logicky sú tvorené slovíčka: something - some+thing (nejaká vec - niečo), nothing - no+thing (žiadna vec - nič), everything - every+thing (každá vec - všetko) a anything - any+thing (akákoľvek vec - čokoľvek). Ľahko si tak zapamätáte hneď niekoľko užitočných slov. Podobne fungujú slová somebody (niekto), nobody (nikto), everybody (každý) a anybody (ktokoľvek).

    Sloveso may meɪ znamená “smieť”, ale užíva sa tiež k vyjadreniu potenciálnej možnosti či neistoty (možno, hádam ap.). Napr.: You may be right. - “Možno máš pravdu”, We may go to... - “Mohli by sme treba ísť do...”, I may be back soon. - “Možno budem skoro späť.” ap. Viac pozri tvary might a may v lekcii 14.
