Hello everyone Anna here  from englishlikeanative.co.uk

Pozdrav svima Anna ovdje s englishlikeanative.co.uk

In this lesson we're going  to look at PREPOSITIONS. 

U ovoj lekciji ćemo pogledati PRIJEDLOZE.

Prepositions are small words like ‘at’, ‘up’, ‘on’ and ‘between’,  

Prijedlozi su male riječi poput 'na', 'gore', 'na' i 'između',

that usually come before a noun or pronoun  and show the relationship between the words.

koje obično dolaze ispred imenice ili zamjenice i pokazuju odnos između riječi.

My students tell me that prepositions are one  of the most difficult things about English.

Moji studenti mi kažu da su prijedlozi jedna od najtežih stvari u engleskom jeziku.

I know they're a real pain  to remember, but fear not.

Znam da ih se teško sjećati, ali ne bojte se.

I'm here to help.

Ovdje sam da pomognem.

As always, I've put together a useful worksheet  covering all the important points of this lesson  

Kao i uvijek, sastavio sam koristan radni list koji pokriva sve važne točke ove lekcije

along with a quiz. To further test your knowledge.  I will email this free PDF directly to you.  

zajedno s kvizom. Da dodatno provjerite svoje znanje. Poslat ću vam ovaj besplatni PDF izravno e-poštom.

All you have to do is click on the link  below and sign up to my mailing list. 

Sve što trebate učiniti je kliknuti na poveznicu ispod i prijaviti se na moju mailing listu.

Once you're on the list, I will  send you all future notes as well.

Kad budete na popisu, slat ću vam i sve buduće bilješke.

Now, when learning any language,  

Sada, kada učite bilo koji jezik,

it's important to remember that certain  words are usually said or written together.

važno je zapamtiti da se određene riječi obično izgovaraju ili pišu zajedno.

Prepositions are no exception. 

Prijedlozi nisu iznimka.

Specific prepositions often come  after certain verbs and adjectives.

Specifični prijedlozi često dolaze iza određenih glagola i pridjeva.

So next time you're SPEAKING TO a native speaker  

Stoga sljedeći put kada RAZGOVARATE s izvornim govornikom

or reading something in English, try to take  note of what prepositions go with which words.

ili čitate nešto na engleskom, pokušajte zabilježiti koji prijedlozi idu uz koje riječi.

Do you see what I did there?

Vidiš li što sam tamo napravio?

I just use the verb SPEAK. I said,

Ja samo koristim glagol GOVORITI. Rekao sam,

“The next time you're  speaking __ a native speaker.” 

"Sljedeći put kada govoriš __ izvorni govornik."

Which preposition did I use after it?

Koji sam prijedlog upotrijebio nakon njega?

I said TO.

Rekao sam TO.

“The next time you're SPEAKING  TO a native speaker...”

"Sljedeći put kada RAZGOVARATE S izvornim govornikom..."

You can also say WITH after speak,

Također možete reći WITH nakon govora,

“The next time you're SPEAKING  WITH a native speaker...”

"Sljedeći put kada RAZGOVARATE S izvornim govornikom..."

They’re used in almost the exact same  way but there is a small difference,  

Koriste se na gotovo isti način ali postoji mala razlika,

which I will talk about at the end of this video.

o kojoj ću govoriti na kraju ovog videa.

So, let's start with prepositions  

Dakle, počnimo s prijedlozima

after adjectives. First up, we've got

iza pridjeva. Prvo,

INTERESTED IN

ZANIMA nas

“I'm interested in DIY.”

"Zanima me DIY."

or

“I'm interested in working at your company.”

ili

"Zainteresiran sam za rad u vašoj tvrtki."

So, when you say ‘interested’ remember ‘in’.

Dakle, kada kažete 'zainteresiran' sjetite se 'za'.

INTERESTED IN

ZANIMA SE

INTERESTED IN

ZA ZANIMA

INTERESTED IN

ZANIMA

Like one word, you've got it?

Kao jednu riječ, imate je?

What are you interested in?

Što vas zanima?

Next up is

Sljedeće je

GOOD AT

DOBAR U

“I'm GOOD AT my job.”

"DOBAR sam u svom poslu."

“I'm GOOD AT playing the piano.”

“DOBAR SAM svirati klavir.”

“She is GOOD AT finding practical solutions.”

"DOBRA JE U pronalaženju praktičnih rješenja."

When we talk about how well we can do  something – we use the preposition ‘AT’.

Kada govorimo o tome koliko dobro možemo nešto učiniti – koristimo prijedlog 'AT'.

We also say BAD AT.

Kažemo i BAD AT.

For example,

Na primjer,

“He's BAD AT keeping secrets.”

"LOŠE U čuvanju tajni."

or “They're not too BAD AT cooking.”

ili "Nisu baš LOŠI U kuhanju."

Next, we have

Zatim imamo

AFRAID OF

STRAH OD

“He's AFRAID OF dogs.”

“On se BOJI pasa.”

or

“She's AFRAID OF spiders.”

ili

"Ona se BOJI paukova."

AFRAID OF

STRAH OD

AFRAID OF

STRAH OD

Do you want to know what I am deeply AFRAID OF?

Želiš li znati čega se duboko BOJIM?

I will reveal all later.

Sve ću otkriti kasnije.

We also use OF with PROUD’.

Također koristimo OF s PROUD'.

You can be PROUD OF what you've done.

Možete biti PONOSNI NA ono što ste učinili.

For example,

Na primjer,

“We are PROUD OF our progress in English.”

"PONOSNI smo NA naš napredak u engleskom."

or

ili

“I'm PROUD OF getting a ‘B’ in my exam.

„PONOSAN SAM ŠTO sam dobio 'B' na ispitu.

PROUD OF

PONOSAN NA

PROUD OF

PONOSAN NA

The last adjective I'm  going to talk about today is

Posljednji pridjev o kojem ću danas govoriti je

RESPONSIBLE. 

ODGOVORAN.

Do you know the preposition  that comes after ‘responsible’?

Znate li prijedlog koji dolazi nakon 'odgovoran'?

RESPONSIBLE FOR

ODGOVORNA ZA

“She's RESPONSIBLE FOR the finance department.”

“Ona je ODGOVORNA ZA odjel financija.”

“He is RESPONSIBLE FOR making the shopping list.”

“On je ODGOVORAN ZA izradu popisa za kupovinu.”

RESPONSIBLE FOR

ODGOVORAN ZA

Now let's test your memory.

Sada testirajmo tvoje pamćenje.

Listen to Doreen and see if  you can fill in the blanks.

Slušajte Doreen i vidite možete li ispuniti praznine.

“I have terrible news, I'm  afraid. This morning your father,  

“Bojim se da imam strašne vijesti. Jutros je tvoj otac

So, when you do see him tonight,  just keep the conversation light.  

Dakle, kada ga vidite večeras, samo neka razgovor bude lagan.

He actually asked me not to tell you, but we  all know how bad I am __ keeping secrets, so...

Zapravo me zamolio da ti ne kažem, ali svi znamo koliko loše __ čuvam tajne, pa...

Are you okay?

Jesi li dobro?

You know, your father and I are both very  proud __ you and what you have achieved. 

Znaš, tvoj otac i ja smo jako ponosni __ na tebe i ono što si postigao.

The last thing we want is for this  illness to become your burden. 

Zadnje što želimo je da ova bolest postane vaš teret.

Your dad said that he was  afraid __ letting you down,  

Tvoj tata je rekao da se boji __ da će te iznevjeriti,

not being there for you. So, remember,  

da neće biti uz tebe. Dakle, zapamti,

you don't need to do anything, just enjoy the  time we have together and look after yourself. 

ne moraš ništa raditi, samo uživaj u vremenu koje provodimo zajedno i pazi na sebe.

I'll be responsible __ your dad and if  I need any help, I will let you know.”

Ja ću biti odgovoran __ tvoj tata i ako mi bude trebala pomoć, javit ću ti.”

Did you manage to fill in all blanks?

Jeste li uspjeli ispuniti sve praznine?

Here are the answers.

Evo odgovora.

“I have terrible news, I'm afraid. This  morning your father, was SPEAKING TO me and  

“Bojim se da imam strašne vijesti. Jutros je vaš otac razgovarao sa mnom i

unfortunately, he has a rare bowel disease.

nažalost, on ima rijetku bolest crijeva.

he can put your father down for if  he's INTERESTED IN giving it a go. 

može osuditi vašeg oca ako je ZAINTERESIRAN DA ga isproba.

There are risks of course,  but he has limited options.

Naravno, postoje rizici, ali on ima ograničene mogućnosti.

Now your dad isn't very GOOD AT  talking about his feelings. So,  

Sada tvoj tata nije baš DOBAR U pričanju o svojim osjećajima. Dakle,

when you do see him tonight, just keep the  conversation light. He actually asked me

You know, your father and I are both very  PROUD OF you and what you have achieved. 

Znaš, tvoj otac i ja smo jako PONOSNI NA tebe i ono što si postigao.

The last thing we want is for this  illness to become your burden. 

Zadnje što želimo je da ova bolest postane vaš teret.

Your dad said that he was  AFRAID OF letting you down,  

Tvoj tata je rekao da se BOJI da te iznevjeri,

not being there for you. So, remember, you don't need to do  

da ne bude uz tebe. Dakle, zapamti, ne moraš

anything, just enjoy the time we have  together and look after yourself. 

ništa raditi, samo uživaj u vremenu koje provodimo zajedno i pazi na sebe.

I'll be RESPONSIBLE FOR your dad and if  I need any help, I will let you know.”

Ja ću biti ODGOVORAN ZA tvog tatu i ako mi bude trebala pomoć, javit ću ti.”

Next let's take a look at some common  verb and preposition combinations.

Zatim pogledajmo neke uobičajene kombinacije glagola i prijedloga.

I'm not talking about phrasal verbs here.

Ovdje ne govorim o frazalnim glagolima.

These are just verbs that  commonly take a preposition  

To su samo glagoli koji obično imaju prijedlog

(especially when there is an object after them).

(osobito kada iza njih stoji objekt).

First up, we've got

Prvo, imamo

LISTEN TO.

SLUŠAJTE.

“This morning I LISTENED TO  Bach while making breakfast.” 

“Jutros sam SLUŠAO Bacha dok sam pripremao doručak.”

“They usually LISTEN TO the radio on long drives.”

“Oni obično SLUŠAJU radio na dugim vožnjama.”

I often hear students making  a mistake with this... 

Često čujem učenike kako griješe s ovim...

They forget to say TO after  LISTEN, but if you're saying what  

Zaboravljaju reći TO nakon SLUŠATI, ali ako govorite ono

you are LISTENING TO, then you  have to use the preposition.

što SLUŠATE, onda morate koristiti prijedlog.

You can just say LISTEN, if you want  someone to do the action, but if you say  

Možete samo reći SLUŠAJTE, ako želite da netko izvrši radnju, ali ako kažete

what you want them to listen TO after, it's  only correct if you have the preposition.

ono što želite da sluša nakon toga, ispravno je samo ako imate prijedlog.

“LISTEN TO this!”

"Poslušaj ovo!"

“Hey, LISTEN TO me!”

“Hej, SLUŠAJTE ME!”

or just

ili samo

“LISTEN!”

"SLUŠAJTE!"

We also use the preposition  TO with the verb BELONG.

Prijedlog TO koristimo i uz glagol PRIPADATI.

For example,

Na primjer,

“This book BELONGS TO Caspian.”

"Ova knjiga PRIPADA Caspianu."

or

ili

“Who does this jacket BELONG TO?”

"Kome PRIPADA ova jakna?"

BELONG TO

PRIPADATI

BELONG TO

PRIPADATI

Another verb students often miss  the preposition after is WAIT.

Još jedan glagol učenici često propuštaju prijedlog iza ČEKATI.

We have to say what you're WAITING FOR.

Moramo reći što ČEKATE.

Like the song, “What you waiting FOR?”

Kao pjesma "What you waiting FOR?"

Now this is another tip I have  to help you learn prepositions. 

Ovo je još jedan savjet koji vam moram pomoći da naučite prijedloge.

Try to actively search for prepositions used in  your favourite songs, especially if they're used  

Pokušajte aktivno tražiti prijedloge koji se koriste u vašim omiljenim pjesmama, osobito ako se koriste

after a verb or adjective because then you'll  know which prepositions to use after that word.

nakon glagola ili pridjeva jer ćete tada znati koje prijedloge upotrijebiti nakon te riječi.

Remember that songs aren't always grammatically  correct, but they're still a fun way to learn.

Ne zaboravite da pjesme nisu uvijek gramatički točne, ali su svejedno zabavan način učenja.

So,

Dakle,

“What are you waiting for?”

"Što čekate?"

“What are you waiting for?”

"Što čekaš?"

Next up is

Sljedeće je

DEPEND ON

OVISI O

We can say,

Možemo reći:

“The salary DEPENDS ON your previous experience.”

"Plaća OVISI O vašem prethodnom iskustvu."

or

“I am so happy I can DEPEND ON my friends.”

ili

"Tako sam sretan da se mogu OVISI O svojim prijateljima."

DEPEND ON

DEPEND ON

We also use ON with SPEND.

Također koristimo ON sa SPEND.

We SPEND money or time ON something.

TROŠIMO novac ili vrijeme NA nešto.

“I SPENT 20 pounds ON this!”

"POTROŠIO SAM 20 funti NA ovo!"

Or you might say,

Ili možete reći:

“I don't have a lot to SPEND ON this jacket.”

"Nemam puno za POTROŠITI NA ovu jaknu."

And from the context, we will understand  that you're talking about money.

A iz konteksta ćemo shvatiti da govorite o novcu.

We could also say,

Mogli bismo također reći:

“I don't want to SPEND too long ON this decision.

“Ne želim TROŠITI predugo NA ovu odluku.

And we will understand that  you're talking about time.

I razumjet ćemo da govoriš o vremenu.

Or your boss might ask,

Ili bi vaš šef mogao pitati:

“How long did you SPEND ON this report?”

"Koliko ste vremena POTROŠILI NA ovo izvješće?"

SPEND ON

POTROŠITE NA

SPEND ON

POTROŠITE NA

Can you guess how long I  SPENT ON making this video?

Možete li pogoditi koliko sam vremena POTROŠIO na izradu ovog videa?

When we use dependent prepositions,  prepositions that go after specific  

Kada koristimo zavisne prijedloge, prijedloge koji idu iza određenog

adjective or verbs they are usually  found together in the sentence.

pridjeva ili glagola, obično se nalaze zajedno u rečenici.

But in this example,

Ali u ovom primjeru,

“I don't want to SPEND too long ON this decision.”

"Ne želim TROŠITI predugo NA ovu odluku."

TOO LONG comes between SPEND and ON.

TOO LONG dolazi između SPEND i ON.

We still need the preposition  because we say WHAT afterwards.

Još nam treba prijedlog jer poslije kažemo ŠTO.

You could say, “I don't want to SPEND too long.”

Mogli biste reći: "Ne želim TROŠITI predugo."

But if we add THIS DECISION, then we need ON.

Ali ako dodamo OVU ODLUKU, onda trebamo ON.

“I don't want to spend too long ON this decision.”

"Ne želim dugo trošiti na ovu odluku."

For certain words, we sometimes use  a preposition and sometimes we don't.

Za određene riječi ponekad koristimo prijedlog, a ponekad ne.

Here are some common words that can be confusing.

Evo nekih uobičajenih riječi koje mogu biti zbunjujuće.

MARRY

OŽENITI

When we talk about the action of getting  married, we don't use a preposition directly  

se Kada govorimo o radnji vjenčanja, ne koristimo prijedlog neposredno

after the verb. For example,

iza glagola. Na primjer,

“She MARRIED him on June 27 1998.”

"UDALA SE za njega 27. lipnja 1998."

But when we say WHO you're MARRIED  TO, then we do use the preposition. 

Ali kada kažemo S KIM si U braku, onda koristimo prijedlog.

After MARRIED we use TO.

Nakon MARRIED koristimo TO.

For example,

Na primjer,

“She's MARRIED TO my brother.”

"ONA JE UDANA ZA mog brata."

or

ili

“I'm MARRIED TO my work.”

"UDALA sam se za svoj posao."

It's true.

To je istina.

Next up

Sljedeće

ASK

PITAJ

We don't use a preposition after ASK  when we don't say WHO we're asking.

Ne koristimo prijedlog nakon PITAJ kada ne kažemo KOGA pitamo.

For example, “Can you ASK the price of this?”

Na primjer, "Možete li PITATI cijenu ovoga?"

But we do use a preposition when  we say, WHO and WHAT we're asking.

Ali mi koristimo prijedlog kada kažemo, KOGA i ŠTO pitamo.

For example,

Na primjer,

“She ASKED him FOR a pen.”

"Tražila ga je za olovku."

We use ASK + PERSON + FOR + NOUN.

Koristimo ASK + PERSON + FOR + NOUN.

“They ASKED ME FOR a loan of £100.”

“Tražili su od mene zajam od 100 funti.”

And we use ASK + the INFINITIVE when we say  

I koristimo ASK + INFINITIV kada kažemo

what we're asking someone to do. For example,

što od nekoga tražimo da učini. Na primjer,

“She ASKED HIM TO WRITE his name.” Another example is,

"Tražila je od njega da napiše svoje ime." Drugi primjer je:

“I ASKED MY SON TO SING with me.”

"PITAO SAM SVOG SINA DA PJEVA sa mnom."

Now, there are also some words  that take multiple prepositions.

Postoje i neke riječi koje imaju više prijedloga.

For example,

Na primjer,

AGREE

SLAŽETE

You AGREE WITH someone.

SE SLAŽETE SE S nekim.

We say AGREE WITH when we want to say  that you think the same as another person.

Kažemo SLAŽEM SE kada želimo reći da mislite isto kao i druga osoba.

For example,

Na primjer,

“Hm, I AGREE WITH Miss Brown  on many points in her talk.”

"Hm, SLAŽEM SE S gospođicom Brown u mnogim točkama njezina govora."

We also use AGREE WITH to talk  about a thing or situation. 

Također koristimo AGREE WITH da razgovaramo o stvari ili situaciji.

“I didn't AGREE WITH what you did.”

“Nisam se SLAŽAO S onim što ste učinili.”

or

“I AGREE WITH the ruling.”

ili

"SLAŽEM SE S presudom."

We can also use TO after AGREE.

Također možemo koristiti TO nakon AGREE.

When you AGREE TO DO something,  you mean that you will take action.

Kada PRISTANETE UČINITI nešto, znači da ćete nešto poduzeti.

Here's an example, 

Evo primjera,

“She AGREED TO change the  start time of the meeting.”

"SLAŽE se promijeniti vrijeme početka sastanka."

or

ili

“I know they want to AGREE TO the new terms.”

"Znam da žele PRISTATI NA nove uvjete."

Finally, as promised, I'll tell you the  difference between SPEAK TO and SPEAK WITH.

Na kraju, kao što sam obećao, reći ću vam razliku između SPEAK TO i SPEAK WITH.

They are almost the same except  when we SPEAK TO someone.

Skoro su isti osim kada s nekim PRIČAMO.

It's probable that it's less of a  conversation and more of a monologue.

Vjerojatno je to manje razgovor, a više monolog.

One person speaking.

Jedna osoba govori.

“She SPOKE TO the crowd with great skill.

“Govorila je publici s velikom vještinom.

However, when we SPEAK WITH someone,  it's more likely to be a dialogue.

Međutim, kada S nekim razgovaramo, vjerojatnije je da će to biti dijalog.

“They SPOKE WITH the child's parents  to make sure everything was okay.”

“Razgovarali su s djetetovim roditeljima kako bi se uvjerili da je sve u redu.”

It’s a small difference. That isn't always true. You can also say,

Mala je razlika. To nije uvijek točno. Također možete reći:

“They SPOKE TO the child's parents, of course.”

"Razgovarali su s djetetovim roditeljima, naravno."

But sometimes there is this  small difference in meaning  

Ali ponekad postoji ta mala razlika u značenju

and it's about who's doing  the majority of the talking.

i radi se o tome tko govori većinu.

With SPEAK TO it's one side, doing more  talking. And with SPEAK WITH it's more equal.  

Uz SPEAK TO to je jedna strana, više pričanja. A sa SPEAK WITH je ravnopravniji.

And that's one of the reasons why  prepositions are so difficult.

I to je jedan od razloga zašto su prijedlozi tako teški.

Sorry!

Oprosti!

Okay, so what am I most AFRAID OF?

Dobro, pa čega se najviše BOJIM?

I am most afraid of being trapped.

Najviše se bojim da ne ostanem u zamci.

It's a fear I've had since being a young girl.

To je strah koji imam od kad sam bila djevojka.

So, I avoid busy trains and lifts  where I can and I always check  

Stoga izbjegavam prometne vlakove i dizala gdje god mogu i uvijek provjeravam

the locks work on a public toilet  door before I close and lock it.

rade li brave na vratima javnog WC-a prije nego što ih zatvorim i zaključam.

What are you most afraid of?

Čega se najviše bojite?
