Predložky po slovesách (Prepositions after verbs)
Niektoré slovesá často používame s nepriamou rečou.
- tell someone to do sth…
I told him to come later.
- say to someone that…
I said to him that I wouldn't come to the meeting.
- tell someone that…
They told us that they would wait there.
- explain to sb (vysvetliť niekomu niečo)
I explained to them how to get here.
- promise to do sth (sľúbiť niečo urobiť)
He promised to sweep the floor.
Pozor!
Keď chceme vyjadriť „povedať niekomu niečo“
- za slovesom tell nasleduje hneď zámeno bez to
I told him to come later. - za slovesom say nasleduje zámeno s to
I said to him to come later.
Pozor!
- nepoužívajte explain bez to
I explained them how to get here.
Pozor!
- nepoužívajte promise sb to do sth
He promised me to sweep the floor. - namiesto toho používame promise sb that…

- complain to sb about sth (sťažovať sa niekomu na niečo)

Pozor!
Častou chybou je, že slovenskí študenti angličtiny používajú za slovesom discuss aj predložku about (mysliac si, že to funguje podobne ako v slovenčine).
- za slovesom discuss sa predložka about nepoužíva
- agree to do sth (súhlasím s niečím, dohodnúť sa niečo urobiť)
