Velice užitečné slovo, ve kterém se často chybuje.
Slůvko worth
V tomto článku se podíváme na jednotlivá použití slova worth a ukážeme si i odvozené tvary pro pokročilejší.

První význam slova worth
It is worth £20. – To má hodnotu 20 liber.
It has worth £20.
It worths £20.
Slovo worth je zde přídavné jméno a pracujete tak vlastně jen se slovesem to be:
| It is worth £20. *1 | It isn't worth £20. *2 | Is it worth £20? *3 |
| It was worth £20. *4 | It wasn't worth £20. *5 | Was it worth £20? *6 |
I bought this watch for 50 dollars, but it is worth 500 dollars.
Is the watch really worth 500 dollars?
My house was worth 200 000 pounds, but I had to sell it for much less.
It is worth nothing to him.
It isn't worth anything to him.
How much is it worth?
The painting could be worth a lot of money in the future.
Slovosled lze i trochu upravit:
This car is worth 10,000 pounds.
This is a car worth 10,000 pounds.
Pozn.: V češtině říkáme, že něco “má hodnotu”, ale v angličtině říkáme, že “je to nějaké hodnoty”. To je ovšem častý jev, kdy češtině použije “mít” a angličtina “být”. Více v článku Časté chyby: HAVE vs. BE.

Druhý velice důležitý význam slova worth
It is worth it. – To stojí za to.
It is worth for it.
It worths it.
It worths for it.
A ještě jedna častá chyba. Česká předložka “za” (stát za něco) se nepřekládá. Studenti často chybně používají worth for something nebo worth of something.
I zde je slovo worth přídavné jméno, proto pracujeme především se slovesem to be:
| It is worth it. *16 | It isn't worth it. *17 | Is it worth it? *18 |
| It was worth it. *19 | It wasn't worth it. *20 | Was it worth it? *21 |
| It will be worth it. *22 | It won't be worth it. *23 | Will it be worth it? *24 |
Jako předmět můžeme tedy použít zájmeno it, další věty např.:
How was the party? Was it worth it?
The exhibition wasn't so good. It really wasn't worth it.
The climb was exhausting, but it was worth it.
Použít lze ale jakékoli jiné slovíčko, např.:
It is worth the effort.
It wasn't worth the extra cost.
Was it worth the risk?

Může následovat také sloveso ale jedině v gerundiu (koncovka -ing):

It is worth to wait.
It is worth wait.
It's worth noticing.
It's worth remembering.
