    Exercise 4

    • Spojte výroky. Naučte se názvy zemí a pojmenování jejich příslušníků.

    • 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.
    • j She's from Japan.
    • c They're from Germany.
    • h He's from Russia.
    • e They're from Italy.
    • g They're from the USA.
    • d He's from England.
    • a They're from Ireland.
    • i They're from France.
    • f She's from Spain.
    • b He's from China.

    Další národnosti a státní příslušníky si můžete najít ve slovníku. Nestandardní jsou ale například: dánský - Danish ˈdeɪnɪʃ, ale Dán je Dane deɪn, španělský - Spanish spænɪʃ, ale Španěl je Spaniard ˈspænjəd. My ale už víme, že: “Je to Španěl.” lze říct jednoduše pomocí adjektiva: He's Spanish. Stačí si uvědomit, kdy užít anglické podstatné jméno a kdy adjektivum.

    Taxík (taxi) se též nazývá cab kæb, což je původní název pro drožku. Metro v britské angličtině je the underground ˈʌndəˌgraʊnd (podzemka) a londýnskému metru se říká the tube tjuːb. Let's take the tube. tedy v Londýně znamená “Pojedeme metrem.” V USA říkají metru subway ˈsʌbˌweɪ, ale v Británii je subway podchod!

    8 Where is he to/for/from?
    9 I'll call you on/at/in the morning.

    6 That's the house at/of/to my parents.
    4 What are you doing in/at/on Monday?

    Speak se pojí s předložkou to nebo with (mluvit s někým). Speak to obecně naznačuje spíše snahu o jednostrannou komunikaci (mluvit k někomu, z pozice autority ap.). Např.: I'll speak to him. - Promluvím (si) s ním. (domluvím mu ap.). Speak with naznačuje hlavně dialog. Např.: I'll speak with him. - Budu s ním mluvit.

    Exercise 21

    • Doplňte podle kontextu správné tvary sloves.

    1 A man is wait there for you.

    12 We'll go shop tomorrow.
    10 What are you read ? My dad read a lot.
    13 Mark enjoy his work.
    9 Stop it! It's get on my nerves.

    České sloveso bavit (co, koho) lze často přeložit anglickým enjoy (těšit se z něčeho, užívat si něco) nebo like (mít rád, líbit se). Je však třeba mít na paměti, že proti češtině dochází u těchto sloves k obrácení podmětu a přísudku! Tedy ne, že něco baví někoho, ale někdo má rád / užívá si něco. Např.: “Baví mě to.” - I enjoy it. ap. Když něco někoho už nebaví, většinou se užije obratu be tired of ..., tedy, že už je někdo z něčeho unavený. Např.: “Už mě to nebaví.” - I'm tired of it.

    Exercise 22

    • Doplňte překlady vět.

    11 Udělám, co budu moci. I'll do my .
    7 Vypadá to na déšť. It looks rain.
    8 Neříkej mu to, prosím! Please tell him!
    4 Jane o tom ví. Jane about it.
    9 Uděláš to pro mě? you do it for me?
    5 Kolik je ti let? How are you?
    17 Bydlím v hotelu. I'm in a hotel.
    1 Odkud jste? Where are you ?
    10 V kolik hodin přijdeš? What will you come?
    14 Mohu se tě na něco zeptat? May I you something?
    12 Jak je vysoký? How is he?
    18 Užij(te) si to tam! your stay!
    2 Odjíždíme za 2 dny. We're in two days.
    15 Dnes večer jdeme někam ven. We're going out .
    16 Přidáte se k nám? Will you us?
    13 Mohu dál? - Samozřejmě! Can I in? - Of  !
    3 Bob má spoustu přátel. Bob a lot of friends.
    6 Promiňte, že jdu pozdě. Sorry, I'm .

    Všimněte si, jak logicky jsou tvořena slovíčka: something - some+thing (nějaká věc - něco), nothing - no+thing (žádná věc - nic), everything - every+thing (každá věc - všechno) a anything - any+thing (jakákoli věc - cokoli). Podobně fungují slova somebody (někdo), nobody (nikdo), everybody (každý) a anybody (kdokoli). Snadno se tak naučíte hned několik užitečných slov.

    Exercise 23

    • Doplňte vhodná slova.

    11 I'll be back soon. Will you for me?
    4 are you? – I'm fine. Thanks.

    12 on! Hurry . You'll be late school again!
    9 Can I with you? – No, you'll stay here.
    13 Shall we go bus or car? – We'll a taxi.
    7 We're waiting you! You are again.
    3 What are the kids doing? – They're some games.
    6 He isn't here now. We will to wait for him.

    Ke slovesu leave (odejít či odjet kam) se váže předložka for, ne to, jak by si Čech mohl myslet! Leave v podstatě říká, že někdo opouští jedno místo pro jiné. Např.: I'm leaving Prague for London. - “Odjíždím z Prahy do Londýna.” Pokud po leave následuje to, je to spíše částice uvozující infinitiv, který vyjadřuje účel. Např.: He's leaving Prague to work in New York. - Odjíždí z Prahy pracovat do New Yorku.

    Exercise 24

    • Řekněte anglicky.

    3 Dejte se druhou ulicí vlevo.
    14 Co si dáte? (k jídlu ap.)
    18 Je mi horko.

    Sloveso may meɪ znamená “smět”, ale užívá se také k vyjádření potenciální možnosti či nejistoty (možná, snad ap.). Např.: You may be right. - “Možná máš pravdu”, We may go to ... - “Mohli bychom třeba jít do...”, I may be back soon. - “Možná budu brzy zpět.” ap. Více viz tvary might a may v Lekci 14.
