Exercise 1

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

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

    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.

    5 Our parents not at home.
    6 Their dog with them.
    3 There no money and she angry.
    10 Me and my sister afraid.
    8 My brother not there.
    4 you there too? No, I not.

    9 There parties every day.

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

    • 1 She knew about it.
    • 2 Where were you born?

    • d Nebyl jsem doma.
    • e Udělal jsem chybu.
    • b Dal jsem mu nějaké peníze.
    • c Strávili jsme tam dva dny.
    • g Kde ses narodil?
    • h Věděla o tom.

    Exercise 4

    • Vyberte vhodné slovo.

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

    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 9

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

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

    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 11

    • Odpovězte na otázky celou větou podle slov v nápovědě.

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

    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.).

    Exercise 20

    • Řekněte anglicky.

    4 Kdo tam šel?
    8 Co jsi dělal včera večer?
    3 Nebyli doma.
    10 Udělal jsi chybu.
    18 Zapomněl jsem mu to říct.
    12 Dostal jsem od něho zprávu.
    14 Viděl jsem ji minulý týden.
    6 Kdy volala?
    13 Potkal jsem ho včera.
    19 Zapomeňme na to.
    9 Nemohl jsem ho zastihnout.
    1 Byl jsem tam včera.
    15 Její přítel před rokem zemřel.
    17 Nechal jsem to na tvém stole.
    16 Zkoušel jsem to dvakrát.
    7 Odešla před minutou.
    20 Nemluvme o tom!
    11 Poslala mi zprávu.
    5 Šel tam sám?
    2 Byl jste tam taky?

    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.
