Exercise 1

    • Čtěte nahlas a přeložte. Všímejte si stavby anglické věty a tvarů sloves.

    1 She helped me.
    2 We had no money.
    3 Jane was here an hour ago.
    4 Nobody knew about it.
    5 I was single when we met.
    6 I spoke with him yesterday.
    7 Who told you that?
    8 I thought so.
    9 I saw him this morning.
    10 We went dancing last night.
    11 She left a few minutes ago.
    12 I got no message from him.
    13 Sorry, I couldn't come.
    14 We had to stay there.
    15 I wasn't able to find it.
    16 He began to worry.
    17 I found it in my pocket.
    18 He broke his arm.

    Všimněte si užití anglického přivlastňovacího zájmena pro vyjádření českého si (způsobit či udělat sám sobě). Např. She broke her leg. - Zlomila si nohu. (Zlomila svou nohu.), He put it in his pocket. - Dal si to do kapsy., He broke his phone. - Rozbil si telefon., She tied her hair back. - Svázala si vlasy dozadu. ap.

    3 There no money and she angry.
    4 you there too? No, I not.
    5 Our parents not at home.
    6 Their dog with them.
    7 The children very happy.
    8 My brother not there.
    9 There parties every day.

    Pozor na odlišnou výslovnost where a were! Např.: Where were you? wεəˈwɜːjuː

    Exercise 3

    • Spojte odpovídající výroky.

    • 1 She knew about it.
    • 2 Where were you born?
    • 3 We spoke about you.
    • 4 I gave him some money.
    • 5 He bought a car.

    • b Dal jsem mu nějaké peníze.
    • c Strávili jsme tam dva dny.
    • d Nebyl jsem doma.
    • e Udělal jsem chybu.
    • f Koupil si auto.
    • g Kde ses narodil?

    Exercise 4

    • Vyberte vhodné slovo.

    1 She couldn't come. She brought/broke/bought her leg.
    2 He had no money. I gave/gone/given him 20 dollars.
    3 Did you walk? - No, we went/got/met by car.
    4 What did he want? - He found/felt/came to speak to you.
    5 Did you call him? - No, I spoke/sent/spent him a message.
    6 When did he bring it? - He broke/brought/became it an hour ago.
    7 Where did they get the money? - They spent/sat/sold their house.
    8 Did she get the car from him? - No, she bought/thought/felt it.
    9 They made/met/took on the bus and went/gave/became friends.
    10 She lost/losed/losted it and I finded/found/founded it.

    Pozor! Některé nepravidelné tvary anglických sloves mají i zcela jiné významy. Např. tvar saw (slovesa see) je též podstatné jméno pila, tvar thought je také myšlenka, tvar broke je i přídavné jméno znamenající na mizině, bez peněz. Např.: I'm broke. - Jsem švorc., Jsem bez peněz. Found je tvar slovesa find, ale též infinitiv pravidelného slovesa, které znamená založit (organizaci ap.). Můžete tedy v minulém čase běžně narazit na tvar founded, který však není tvarem slovesa find! Např. He founded a city. - Založil město. ALE He found a city. - Našel město.

    Exercise 8

    • Doplňte správnou časovou předložku - before nebo ago.

    1 Try to be there nine o'clock.
    2 We spoke about it a week at my place.

    4 He arrived a few minutes me.
    5 We visited the city three years .
    6 I saw him two days his departure.
    7 I never go to bed ten.
    8 We met a long time .
    9 How long was it?

    Exercise 9

    • Převeďte věty z času budoucího do minulého. Všímejte si analogií.

    1 She'll be there.
    2 Bob will come alone.
    3 They'll speak about us.
    4 I'll send it to you.
    5 You'll break it.
    6 Jane will make dinner.
    7 We'll go there together.
    8 He'll give it to her.
    9 Will they send it?
    10 Will you go there?
    11 When will she come?
    12 I won't tell him!
    13 Who will buy it?
    14 I'll let him know.

    Sloveso let má ve všech časech (i minulém) stále stejný tvar. Jen v čase přítomném prostém má s 3. osobou jednotného čísla tvar lets. Např.: (minulý čas) She let him sleep. - Nechala ho spát., (přítomný čas prostý) She lets him sleep. - Nechává ho spát. Nezaměňujte ale lets (pro 3. osobu) a výzvu let's (let us)! Např. Let's go!

    Exercise 10

    • Napište infinitivy sloves, která uslyšíte užitá ve větách v minulém čase.

    Exercise 11

    • Odpovězte na otázky celou větou podle slov v nápovědě.

    1 How did you go there? by car
    2 When did he leave? an hour ago
    3 When did you get up? at six
    4 Who did you send it to? Bob
    5 What did you buy? bananas
    6 Where did you meet? on the bus
    7 Did anybody call? nobody
    8 Did they agree? no
    9 How long did it take? 1 hour
    10 Did Bob lose it? no, I
    11 Did he make any mistakes? many
    12 Did you get my message? no
    13 What did he know? nothing
    14 What did you speak about? you
    15 What did he tell you? nothing
    16 What did you drink? beer

    Drunk je 3. tvar (příčestí minulé PP) slovesa drink, ale i přídavné jméno opilý. Podobné je to i s dalšími slovesy, např. break a jeho tvarem broken (rozbitý, zlomený), give - given (daný), know - known (známý) či se slovesem go a jeho tvarem gone. Spojení be gone znamená být pryč. He's gone. - Je pryč. (Odešel.).

    17 Nechal jsem to na tvém stole.
    18 Zapomněl jsem mu to říct.
    19 Zapomeňme na to.
    20 Nemluvme o tom!

    Alone znamená sám, pokud říkáme, že někdo je bez doprovodu, osamocený ap. Např.: I live alone. - Bydlím sám., Leave me alone. znamená “Nechte mě být”. Chceme-li vyjádřit, že někdo něco dělá sám (bez cizí pomoci), je třeba užít zvratných zájmen, která v angličtině mění tvary dle osoby: I - myself, you - yourself, he - himself atd. Např. “Udělal jsem to sám.” - I did it myself., “Vyrobil to sám.” - He made it himself. ap. Více viz Zvratná zájmena v Lekci 11.
