Z VESELJEM NAD ANGLEŠKO SLOVNICO
(Z vajami in rešitvami)
UVODNA BESEDA
Učbenik je namenjen vsem, ki bi se radi naučili, ponovili in utrdili angleško slovnico.
Na začetku je slovnica razloţena na enostavnejši način. Kasneje pa je zahtevnost
slovnice večja. Učbenik vsebuje tudi veliko vaj in se ne dotika le slovnice in
slovničnih pravil, pač pa tudi splošno uporabnih tem in nekaterih drugih pravil.
Skupaj z zahtevnostjo slovnice raste tudi zahtevnost vaj.
Na koncu učbenika je pod rubriko 'domače naloge' še veliko dodatnih vaj, ki bodo
vsem, ki se učijo angleščine, pomagale izboljšati znanje, hkrati pa bodo v rešitvah
lahko sami preverili ali so vaje rešili pravilno.
Pravila in navodila so napisana v slovenščini, tako da so uporabnikom laţe
razumljiva.
V učbeniku je poudarek predvsem na angleških časih, ukvarja pa se tudi z drugimi
slovnično zanimivimi poglavji, kot je angleška abeceda, mnoţina samostalnikov,
stopnjevanje pridevnikov, modalni glagoli, trpnik, premi govor, pogojni stavki in
drugo.

(THE ENGLISH ALPHABET)
What goes zzub, zzub, zzub?

Pri vsakem jeziku je zelo pomembno, da znamo črkovati posamezne besede, saj nam
je to lahko v pomoč, ko ne vemo, kako se beseda zapiše ali kadar nas naš sogovorec
ne razume. Največkrat pa nam pride prav, ko moramo črkovati ime in priimek ali pa
elektronski naslov. Če imamo v svojem imenu in priimku črke č, š, ţ, jih
nadomestimo kar s črkami c, s, z.

ENOSTAVNI SEDANJIK GLAGOLA ‘BITI’
(THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE OF THE VERB ‘TO BE’)
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Glagol „biti‟ je v večini jezikov eden najpomembnejših glagolov, zato je nujno, da ga
dobro poznamo. Nedoločniška oblika glagola „biti‟ je v angleščini „to be‟. Prisoten je
v večini osnovnih stavkov in je hkrati tudi eden najbolj zahtevnih glagolov, saj ima
več oblik kot drugi glagoli. Glagol se lahko pojavi v trdilni, nikalni in vprašalni
obliki. Lahko se pojavi tudi v kratki ali dolgi obliki. Običajno se dolga oblika
uporablja v pisnem sporočanju, kratka pa v ustnem.

VAJE
Dopolnite stavke tako, da uporabite pravilno obliko glagola „biti‟ (to be). (Fill in the
gaps using the verb „to be‟.)
1. It ____ not my fault that the car doesn't work.
2. Hi. I ___ Mary.
3. He ___ a mechanic.
4. Ms Thompson ____ very busy.
5. They ____ not my colleagues.
6. You ____ my best friend.
7. Anne and Mary ____ sisters.

ENOSTAVNI SEDANJIK GLAGOLA ‘IMETI’
(THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE OF THE VERB ‘TO HAVE’)
All of us could take a lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention to criticism.
Tudi glagol „imeti‟ („to have‟) igra v angleščini pomembno vlogo, saj se velikokrat
uporablja kot pomoţni glagol, na primer za tvorbo drugih časov. Tukaj je razloţeno,
kako se glagol sprega v svojem osnovnem pomenu (imeti). Glagol „to have‟ se od
glagola „to be‟ razlikuje po tem, da za tvorbo nikalne in vprašalne oblike potrebuje
pomoţni glagol „do‟ oziroma „does‟.

VAJE
Uporabite glagol „imeti‟. (Use the verb „to have‟.)
1. He ______ four sisters.
2. We only ______ two hours time to finish this.
3. I _____ a lot of homework.
4. _____ you ______ any problems?
5. I ______ nothing to say.
6. She _____ not ______ any money.

12. _____ we _______ everything we need?

DOLOČNI IN NEDOLOČNI ČLEN
(DEFINITE AND INDEFINITE ARTICLES 'THE' AND 'A(N)')
What do you call a sheep with no legs?
A cloud.
V angleščini se uporabljata dva člena, in sicer določni the in nedoločni a(n). Člen se
uporablja le pred samostalnikom.
Nedoločni člen a se uporablja, kadar o neki stvari prvič govorimo ali kadar mislimo le
eno stvar (in ne več stvari). Če se samostalnik začne na samoglasnik (a,e,i,o,u) se
nedoločni člen spremeni v an. Nedoločni člen se uporablja le pri samostalnikih v
ednini.
Določni člen the se uporablja, kadar je neka stvar (samostalnik) ţe omenjena oziroma
določena ali kadar točno vemo, o čem govorimo. Za razliko od nedoločnega člena
a(n), se določni člen the uporablja pri samostalnikih v ednini ali mnoţini.
PRIMER
This is a pencil. The pencil is red.
These are the best books I have ever read.
Ljubljana has a university.
He is an engineer.
VAJE
Dopolnite z nedoločnim ali določnim členom, lahko pa člen tudi manjka. (Fill in the

MNOŢINA SAMOSTALNIKOV
(PLURAL OF NOUNS)
Sam: ‘Would you punish me for something I didn't do?’
Teacher: ‘No, of course not.’
Sam: ‘Good, because I didn't do my homework.’
Angleščina nima dvojine, zato je samostalnik, ki določa dva (ali več) objekta oz. osebi
v angleščini ţe v mnoţini. V angleščini samostalnik v mnoţini dobi končnico –s.
Samostalniki, ki se končajo na –s, -ss, -x, -sh ali –ch pa dobijo končnico –es. –es
končnico dobijo tudi samostalniki, ki se končajo na soglasnik in y. Y se v tem primeru
spremeni v –i-, vendar samo, če pred njim stoji soglasnik (party - parties).
PRIMER
SINGULAR
a table
a chair
a window
a girl
a bag
PLURAL

Nekateri samostalniki pa so izjeme in imajo v mnoţini prav posebno obliko:
man - men
woman - women
goose - geese
tooth - teeth
foot-feet
mouse-mice
child - children
wife - wives
wolf - wolves
thief - thieves
VAJE
Spremenite označene besede v mnoţino. Nato spremenite še glagol. (Change the
following into plural. Then change the verbs as well.)

OSEBNI IN SVOJILNI ZAIMKI
(PERSONAL AND POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS)
Q: In what way can the letter ‘A’ help a deaf lady?
A: It can make her ‘hear’.
Osebni zaimki so pomembni kadar hočemo začeti nek stavek. V slovenskem jeziku se
ti zaimki v glavnem opuščajo (Sem zunaj in ne Jaz sem zunaj), v angleščini pa
moramo vsakokrat povedati katera oseba je mišljena, saj angleščina nima spregatev
oz. ima glagol ne glede na osebo večinoma enako obliko. Svojilni zaimki pa so
pomembni pri izraţanju svojine, na primer kadar hočemo povedati, da je avto naš in
ne sosedov (To je moj avto.).
OSEBNI ZAIMKI
(Personal pronouns)

Guest: I'll make my own bed.
Innkeeper: Good. I'll get you some nails and wood.
Pri ostalih glagolih se v trdilni obliki v 3. osebi pojavi končnica –s. Pri nikalni in
vprašalni obliki pa se prav tako operira s pomoţnima glagoloma do oziroma does. Če
se glagoli končajo na –s, -ss, -x, -ch ali –sh, dobi glagol končnico –es.

SESTAVLJENI SEDANJIK
(THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE)
Two muffins were baking in an oven. One muffin turns to the other
and says, ‘O gosh, it's hot in here’ The other muffin says, ‘Holy
ghost, ... A talking muffin!’
Sestavljeni sedanjik se tvori s pomoţnim glagolom „biti‟ (to be) in pomenskim
glagolom s končnico –ing (npr. speaking). Uporablja pa se za dejanja, ki se dogajajo
zdaj, v tem trenutku. Poudarek je na trajanju.
Nekateri glagoli se skoraj nikoli ne uporabljajo v „Continuous obliki‟. To so glagoli
obnašanja in tisti, ki izraţajo pogoj in jih človek ne more strogo nadzorovati, na
primer: videti, slišati, obstajati, ţeleti, verjeti, vedeti, imeti rad in drugi (see, hear,

TAM JE, TAM SO
(THERE IS, THERE ARE)
Beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder...
Ko v angleščini prvič govorimo o osebku oziroma osebek še ni bil omenjen in bi ga
radi poudarili, ga običajno postavimo za glagol, na prvo mesto pa postavimo there is
ali there are. There is se uporablja, kadar sledi samostalnik v ednini, there are pa,
kadar sledi samostalnik v mnoţini.
V slovenščini rečemo: Na mizi imaš pismo. in V moji pisarni so trije stoli. Če bi to
dobesedno prevedli v angleščino, bi zvenelo takole: On the desk you have a letter. in
In my office are three chairs. Ta dva stavka zvenita res okorno, zato si pomagamo s
frazo there is oz. there are, kot lahko vidimo v primeru.

MODALNI ALI NAKLONSKI GLAGOLI
(MODAL VERBS)
Everyone has a photographic memory but some don't have the film.
Naklonski oziroma modalni glagoli so glagoli, ki izraţajo določeno mero zanikanja ali
potrditve; prepričanje, ţeljo, obveznost, moţnost, verjetnost itd. Modalni glagoli, ki se
v angleščini najbolj pogosto uporabljajo, so navedeni v razpredelnici.
Modalni glagol
can
may
must/have to
should
would
Prevod
znati, moči
smeti
morati
bi moral
rad bi
PRIMER
I can write letters very quickly.
I must finish this as soon as possible.
She should wear a coat. It‟s freezing.
Posebnost pri modalnih glagolih je, da pri zanikanju beseda not stoji takoj za
modalnim glagolom, saj gre za vrsto pomoţnega glagola. 3. oseba ednine v sedanjiku
ne dobi končnice –s.
I, he, she, it,

ENOSTAVNI PRETEKLIK
(THE PAST SIMPLE TENSE)
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
The Past Simple Tense je enostavni preteklik in poroča o tem, kaj se je zgodilo v
preteklosti. V angleščini imamo pravilne in nepravilne glagole. Če so glagoli pravilni,
dobijo v pretekliku le končnico –ed, če pa so glagoli nepravilni, se moramo njihove
posebne oblike naučiti na pamet. Tabela angleških nepravilnih glagolov je na koncu
tega učbenika.

UPORABA
Enostavni preteklik se uporablja za dejanja, ki so se začela in končala v določenem
trenutku v preteklosti in nimajo nobene zveze s sedanjostjo.

A man is talking to God.
The man: ‘God, how long is a million years?’
God: ‘To me, it's about a minute.’
The man: ‘God, how much is a million dollars?’
God: ‘To me it's a penny.’
The man: ‘God, may I have a penny?’

Sestavljeni preteklik uporabljamo za dejanja, ki so se odvijala v preteklosti. Poudarek
je na dogajanju in trajanju v preteklosti. S tem časom ne povemo, da se je nekaj
zgodilo, ampak hočemo poudariti, da je nekaj trajalo dlje časa oziroma, da se je
dogajalo medtem, ko se je zgodilo nekaj drugega. Ta oblika je zelo uporabna tudi, ko
hočemo izraziti močna čustva (veselje, ljubezen, jezo …).

osebek, nato pa sledi glagol. Na primer: Who goes to school every day? Mary.

Ko sprašujemo po predmetu pa vprašalnici sledi še pomoţni glagol do ali does. Paziti
moramo tudi na predloge, ki pridejo na sam konec vprašanja.

pull its right wing, it will speak German. If you pull its left wing, it will speak

happens if I pull both wings at the same time?” Suddenly the parrot said: “I'm gonna

POGOJNI STAVKI
(CONDITIONAL CLAUSES)
Q: What did the ocean say to the beach?
A: Nothing, it just waved!
Stavki, ki se začnejo z besedo „če‟ (v angleščini „if‟) izraţajo stopnjo pogojnosti. V
njih nikoli ne smejo stati besede shall, will, should ali would. Namesto njih običajno
stoji glagol v sedanjiku. Ti stavki izraţajo naslednje situacije.
1) Nekaj se bo zgodilo, če bo izpolnjen določen pogoj: She will come if you call her.
To vrsto pogojnika imenujemo Type 1 in ima vedno v glavnem stavku prihodnjik
(Future Tense), v odvisniku pa sedanjik (Present Tense). Pogoj je verjeten ali moţen
(likely to happen or probable).
2) Verjeten rezultat določenega pogoja, ki ga predvidevamo ali si ga zamišljamo
določa vrsta odvisnika Type 2. Odvisnik govori o dogodku, ki se ne dogaja v tem
trenutku, vendar si lahko zamišljamo verjeten rezultat. She would come if you called
her. V glavnem stavku stoji would in nedoločnik, v odvisnem pa preteklik (Past
Tense). Situacija ni verjetna, ampak le namišljena (unlikely or improbable;
imaginary).
3) Type 3 predstavlja ideje, ki se ne morejo zgoditi, ker vemo, da pogoj ni bil
izpolnjen, radi pa si zamišljamo rezultat. She would have come if you had called her
(but she didn‟t come, because you didn‟t call her). Type 3 stavki imajo v glavnem
delu would have in nedoločnik, v odvisniku pa predpreteklik (past perfect).
Unless ima podoben pomen kot if not, ne da pa se ju vedno zamenjati.

TRPNI NAČIN
(PASSIVE VOICE)
Why do you take your wife to night clubs only?
By the time she gets ready no other place is open.
Trpnik se uporablja, ko hočemo poudariti osebo ali stvar s katero se nekaj dogaja. V
nasprotju z angleščino se v slovenščini trpnik zelo redko uporablja. V angleščini pa je
ta oblika zelo pogosta in se uporablja predvsem v poslovnem jeziku in povsod, kjer je
predmet dogajanja bolj pomemben kot tisti oziroma tisto, kar dogajanje povzroča.
PRIMER
We produced over 30 different models.
BECOMES: Over 30 different models WERE produced.
Če je akter dogajanja oziroma dejanja pomemben, uporabimo besedo „by‟.
PRIMER
Marlo Morgan wrote „Mutant Message Down Under‟ in 1994.
BECOMES: „Mutant Message Down Under‟ was written in 1994 by Marlo Morgan.
Naslednja tabela prikazuje kako se pri trpniku spremenijo časi. Uporabljamo vedno
glagol biti v določenem času in 3. obliko (past participle) pomenskega glagola
oziroma končnico –ed za pravilne glagole.
