Default Re: maturita 1 - lifestyles and hobbies

Well, I really thank you :). I know I have said it too many times...

now I hope I have the last question:

13)
…and if they should have also sew or knit, they would soon go to a madhouse, although they might consider it as a hobby.

I think I should have written: ….should have sewed or knit…, haven’t I?

--------

I realized I have 3 last (really last questions):

Ad 2) Yes, it’s true/truth.
- Does in this sentence depend on which part of speech I use? Does the meaning change?

Ad 6) You said that sentence – anyone can’t do it - is incorrect.
Does it mean that anyone/anything/… can’t be used as a subject if the predicate is negative?

Ad 8) It is a very nicely flowered garden.
- is this sentence written right? Can I say it in English?
If I translated into Czech (the exact translation), it would be a normal Czech sentence. In Czech we can evolve an adjective (attribute) by an adverb (adverbial function – do you call it like this? How do you call this constituent of a sentence? For example in sentence “He did it easily“ what member is “easily“?)
That is why I wrote: “Typically men’s hobby is fishing“
I understand why you wrote “A typical men’s hobby“ – we can say similar or same sentence in Czech by using an adjective. But we can also say typically.

And what about this sentence? :
It’s a very nice story. => which member is very? Which word class is it?
