Dziękuję.

1 bo jest wielu cynikow na swiecie

ok

ad2 ja bym dal from being the camel
ad7 Birth is

odnosnie 3 - nie wiem, ale uzylbym the przed books i men

Dzięki. Żeby nie zakładać nowego wątku. Wiem, że może powiedzieć:

in - spring lub in THE spring.

Mam zdanie (wybierz właściwą odp):

It was summer/A summer of intense hot.

Dziwnie wygląda "a" z porami roku, ale sądząc po tym "of-phrase" stawiam na drugą opcję.

Ok?

tak, a

a summer - tak jak piszesz - of jest tutaj tym, co bylby przymiotnik przed summer

Dlaczego?

Jeszcze jedno:

Przetłumacz zdania używając odp. przedimków. Jedno zdanie, które sprawia mi kłopot:

On jest (jak) Elvis (Presley).

he is AN Elvis or he's Elvis

Ta wykładowczyni nas wykończy kiedyś :D. Daje nam same podchwytliwe.

byc moze dlatego, ze potem wystepuja okreslenia typu a small number oraz the rest

7 tak, birth
3 the books, the men - tak jakby mowil/znal wszystkie ksiazki i wszystkich ludzi. Możliwe jest takie uzycie, ale zero article bardziej sie narzuca
camel - nie, 2 x a

an Elvis

jak ma byc jak, to raczej: He's like Elvis.

"nie używać mi <<like>> w tym zdaniu", powiedziała do nas. Bo wszyscy natychmiast "rzucili " się z tym "like".

ale ma być przetłumaczone "przedimkowo", jeżeli dobrze rozumiem.

Chodzi o to, że byłoby to zbyt proste, engee ;)


p.s. racja z tym "birth", sprawdziłem, normalnie jest niepoliczalne, dopiero z przymiotnikiem są policzalne użycia.

wobec tego He's an Elvis nie znaczy On jest jak Elvis. przekaz jej to ode mnie

Tak, tak

Dostanie szału. Ostra babka z niej :) (ale bardzo ładna...)

nie patrz na jej urode, bo to akurat w nauce bardzo przeszkadza (mowie tutaj o nauce w lawce w szkole czy na universytecie)

He's an Elvis - co to zatem znaczy?

engee@ Nie da się nie patrzeć skoro taka a blonde bombshell z niej. Tutaj uniwerek.

Zatem, co z tym zdaniem?

okay okay - juz wszystko koncze - zartowalem z tym a - ale przkaz jej, ze masz pomoc od ludzi, ktorzy teraz juz wiedza, ze fajna z niej wykladowczyni :P

Daj więcej przykładów, może znajdziemy jakiś błąd i będzie co przekazać.

Dała takie coś (haha) - polecenie znów wstawić przedimek:

THE definite article -tytuł

- all nouns except - proper nouns

- Most students of - English are frightened by what they imagine to be THE/- complication, THE/- illogicality anf THE/- incomprehensibility of THE use of THE definite article. Even - many English people, even - (jest ich sporo więc nie dam tu "the") teachers of - English, seem to like to encourage this idea of THE definite article as one of - superb "mysteries" of THE language (tu wydaję mi się, że chodzi o ang, dlatego dałem :"the). Please try to get rid of this idea, because it is - nonsense.

THE way THE definite article is used in - English is in - fact highly logical ( IMO it is myth ha ha), and is based on one extremely simple principle. We shall state THE principle, and we shall then give you - lots of - examples of THE same principle., NOT - new rules. We shall remind you of this as we go along. IF you are even in - doubt, it is quite A good idea to try seeing what THE alternative would mean. If, for - example, you are not quite sure whether you should write " - language", try to decide what "A language" would mean.

Remember that THE definite article - like nearly all - language - is AN instrument for you to use to express yourself as you wish, not AN enemy to be fought. You can often express - delicate shades of - meaning by THE way you use - or do not use THE article (tu chodzi chyba o termin gramatyczny), just as you can with THE tenses (to samo co ostatnio)

THE study of THE definite artice is really A study of THE meaning of - nouns. It is A mistake to say that this or that noun takes or doesn not takes THE article. Practically any noun can be used with or without THE article, depending on what - meaning we wish to give THE noun

an Elvis - a singer like Elvis

Hey, I used to know an Elvis too

ok, a powyższe ćwiczenie, bo się nasza "dama" zdenerwuje, choć wtedy panowie są jeszcze bardziej horny :D

Grudziu-
Prawie kazda kobieta podnosi cisnienie mezczyznom kiedy sie denerwuje.....;-)

- Most students of - English are frightened by what they imagine to be THE/- complication, THE/- illogicality anf THE/- incomprehensibility of THE use of THE definite article.
NIE WIEM, JAK ROZUMIE C ZDANIE: CZY AUTOR CHCIAL POWIEDZIEC 'THE COMPLICATION ILLOG AND INCOMP OF THE USE OF ARTICLE', CZY TEŻ 'COMPLICATION, I.E. THE ILLOG AND INCOMP OF THE USE"
w pierwszej wersji będzie the tylko przed complication, bo dwa następne rzeczowniki to kolejne elementy listy. W drugim przypadku będzie 'a complication, the illog and incomp" (incomp także i tu jest kolejnym elementem listy)
