Druhý díl slovní zásoby, která se týká mezilidských vztahů.
How is your new boyfriend? - I don't know. It's too soon to tell. We have to get to know each other.
Při použití vazby How is your new boyfriend? očekáváme odpověď ve smyslu dobrý či špatný. Při použití vazby What is your new boyfriend like? očekáváme popis, zjištujeme jaký je to člověk. Například:
What's your new boyfriend like? - He's smart, handsome and, best of all, unbelievable in bed. Only he tends to drink a lot.
Our new neighbours came up with the idea to go on vacation together so we could get to know each other better.
She's a great person once you get to know her.
Me and my buddies hang out every single day and I'm getting tired of pretending to have a great time. We keep talking about the same things.
Then again, there's nothing else to do anyway.
How often do you go out or hang with friends? - Hardly ever. You know, I'm kind of a loner. But then, every time I do go out I try to have as good of a time as I can and then I usually wind up with a terrible hangover.
Abychom pořád nemuseli používat ohrané on the other hand můžeme do slovní zásobit přiřadit také then again či but then.
What's your favorite hang-out in Pilsen?
Do you get along with your parents? - Most of the time I do. Well, it might sound crazy but it's true. We hardly ever fight and I know they care about me a lot.
What about your brother? - My brother is hard to get on with. To be perfectly honest, he's a pain in the ass. There's nothing he enjoys more than constantly teasing me. Besides, he makes fun of how I look.
Most of the girls in our class said there was nothing wrong with having an affair with another guy every now and then, which made me think.
Let me tell you what happened to me so you know why I'm feeling miserable. To cut a long story short, it turned out my husband was cheating on me. Everyone knew he was having an affair but me. I didn't find out until last month. They were doing it when I came in.
He had been sleeping with her for nearly 3 months. The moment I saw them I made up my mind to walk out on him.
It's been three weeks since that happened.
Now I wonder if I did the right thing, though. I have no idea how to deal with it. I'm staying with my parents until I think it through. He keeps calling to say how bad he feels about it promising not to do it again.
I need some time to weigh the pros and cons, and I might give it another try. But as far as my friends are concerned I'm better off without him.
I'm afraid that, whatever I do, I'll end up regretting it later anyway.
I think it's about time you apologized to him. - No way! Why the hell am I supposed to apologize to him let alone make up with him? He called me a moron. Not me!
I'm really sorry for what I said yesterday. I don't know what came over me. You know, I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Believe me, I didn't mean to take it out on you.
If you can forgive me, I'd love to make it up to you. I was thinking that you and I might go to that new fancy restaurant.
I was going to go to a pub but then I changed my mind. My girlfriend and I spent the whole evening sitting in front of the TV. I tried to make up for not being with her the last two weeks.
Recently I was given the task of making up a story about both my love life and social life. The trouble is I can't think of anything to write about.
I wonder if I could ask a favor. My girlfriend's put on a little weight. Would you mind making up a schedule for her?
Snažte si při tom, když někoho o něco žádáte (hlavně někoho, koho moc neznáte či byste k němu měli chovat patřičnou úctu) osvojit si spojení would you mind po kterém následuju -ing tvar následujícího slovesa. Je to mnohem lepší než používat Could you neřku-li Can you.
Jane went to the bathroom to make up her face.
How did it go with Jane last night? - She's stood me up. I stood there in the rain waiting for her to show up. And she didn't even call. At least she could have made up a lame excuse. - I'm sorry to hear that. No wonder you're pissed.
Being stood up by a gorgeous gal is horrible.
