Past Simple

Past Simple

El pasado simple.

Esta conjugación verbal, es muy parecida al presente simple,
hecho por Manolo,pues lo que sólo varía es el verbo, que irá
en pasado. Lo explicaremos más amplio:

-¿Para qué se utiliza el pasado simple?-

Éste se utiliza para expresar cualquier accion realizada y
acabada en el pasao ( I did my homework yesterday ).

-¿ Cómo se forma?-

Forma afirmativa:

Sujeto+ Verbo en pasado+ Adverbio...( si es necesario )

Manu hizo los deberes aller

Manu ate an apple yesterday

Forma negativa:

Para negar la oración es necesario el auxiliar did ( do ), pero
eso sí, en pasado.

Sujeto+ auxiliar en pasado negativo ( didn´t ) + Verbo ( presente ) + ...

Manu no comio nada

Manu didn´t eat anything

Forma interrogativa:

Auxiliar ( pasado )+ Sujeto+ Verbo ( presente )+ ...?

¿Comiste tú manzanas?

Did you eat apples?

Respuestas cortas:

Afirmativa: Yes I did; you did; he she it did; we you they did.

Negativa: No I didn´t; you didn´t; he she it didn´t; we you they didn´t.

Un saludo... Manu Mesa

Present Continuous

|

El presente continuo.

Si bien, según la entrada de Manolo a cerca del Presente simple (Present simple), este es básico, el presente continuo no va a ser menos.

-¿Para qué se usa el presente continuo?

Si el presente simple se utiliza para expresar cosas que ocurren normalmente (I do my homework every day), el presente continuo se utiliza para expresar cosas que están ocurriendo en ese momento (I am doing my homework).

-¿Cómo se forma?

Forma afirmativa:

Sujeto + Presente simple de To be + forma en *-ing del verbo principal

Antonio está jugando

Anthony is playing

> Contracciones: I am - I´m | he, she, it is - he, she, it´s | you, we, they are - you, we, they´re
> *-ing = en español forma del gerundio, -ando o -endo.

Forma negativa:

Sujeto + Presente simple de To be + not + forma en *-ing del verbo principal

Anthony is not playing

> Contracciones: isn´t y aren´t
(he isn´t playing)

Forma interrogativa:

Presente simple de To be + sujeto + forma en -ing del verbo principal + ?

Estás ( tu ) jugando ?

Are you playing ?

Respuestas cortas:

> Afirmativas: Yes, I am (I`m) | Yes, he, she, it is (it´s) | Yes, you, we, they are (they´are)
> Negativas: " , I am not | " is not (isn´t) | " are not (aren´t)


Espero que os haya servido de ayuda, si necesitais más pedidla.

Presente Simple

|

Present Simple

El presente simple se conjuga de est modo:
I/You/We/They Play(El verbo sin s)
He/She/It Plays(Se le añade s)

La forma afirmativa es el sujeto( subject) + el verbo(verb)
Ej: I like road bikes. -> Me gustan las bicis de carretera.

I/You/We/They Do not play(se le añada al verbo do not)
He/She/It Does not play(se le añade al verbo does not)

La forma negativa es el sujeto (subject) + don't, doesn't + verbo (verb)
Ej:Dan doesn't worry about exams. -> A Dan no le preocupan los examenes.

Las formas interrogativas son Do/Does + sujeto(subject) + verbo(verb)
El signo de interrogación se le coloca al final de la frase y no tiene al principio...
En las respuestas breves afirmativas, do/does siguen al pronombre sujeto.
Las formas contraidas de Do/does son Don't y doesn't.
Ej: Do you listen to the radio every day? Yes, I do. / No, I don't. -> ¿Escuchas la radio todos los días? Si / No


Si necesitais más ayuda pedirla, y los ejercicios resueltos los iremos poniendo una vez los tengamos hechos nosotros.
Sé que esta ayuda a sido tonta (la del presente simple) pero cualquiera puede cometer un fallo y es mejor empezar por lo básico y acabar por lo cómplicado para llegar a tener mejor base hablando y escribiendo este idioma.

Gracias y cuidense...
