CUIDAR TODOS LOS ASPECTOS FORMALES.

TEMA 1.

El artículo. El verbo ser/estar.

Pronombres personales

I = yoYou = TúHe = ÉlShe = Ella It = Él / Ella (para animales o cosas)We = Nosotros, nosotrasYou = Vosotros, vosotrasThey = Ellos, ellas

Verbo “To Be” = Ser o Estar I am I’m Yo soy, estoy You are You’re Tú eres, estás He is He’s Él es, está She is She’s Ella es, está It is It’s Él/Ella es, está (para animales o cosas) We are We’re

Nosotros/as somos, estamos You are You’re Vosotros/as sois, estais They are They’re Ellos/as son, ellos/as están

I am not = I`m notYou are not = You aren´tHe is not = He isn´tShe is not = She isn’tIt is not = It isn´tWe are not = We aren´tYou are not = You aren´tThey are not = They aren’t

Como se pregunta… Invertimos el orden Sujeto + Verbo

I am… Am I … ? Are you ok… ? Is he … ?

Is she … ?Is it … ?Are we … ?Are you ok… ?Are they … ?

EL ARTÍCULO.

THE = el, la, los, las.

The car The apple The pupil

A = un, uno, unas, unos.A boy A pencil A woman

Cuando la siguiente palabra comienza por vocal usamos ANAn apple An uncle

CUIDADO: a house an hourNos fijaremos en su pronunciación.

Para decir unos, unas (algunas cosas) usamos:

SOME Some people Some milk

Cuidado:

Con profesiones no se traduce:I am a teacher = Yo soy maestra

A veces cambia al traducir:- 20 pence a kilo = 20 peniques el kilo

- 8 kilometres an hour= 8 kilómetros por hora

En estas construcciones:

WHAT A + ADJETIVO + SUSTANTIVO!¡ QUÉ _________ TAN ________ !

A = TAN

What a beautiful girl! = ¡Qué niña tan bonita!

What an expensive car! = ¡Qué coche tan caro!

SUJETO + TO BE + SUCH A + ADJETIVO + SUSTANTIVO

A = TAN

She is such a nice girl! = ¡Es una niña tan bonita!

There is… / There are…

There is a … = Hay … PARA UNA SOLA COSA

There is a book. There is a finger.

There are … = Hay … PARA VARIAS COSAS

There are some maps. There are five doors.

This / That / These / Those

This = este, esta That = ese, esa, aquel, aquella These = estos, estas Those = esos, esas, aquellos aquellas

These es el plural de this.Those es el plural de that.

SÓLO SINGULAR SÓLO PLURALTrousersPyjamasShortsKnickersTights

RiceBreadWaterPastaToast

Reglas para formar el género. La mayoría de las palabras sirven

indistintamente para masculino y femenino.

Friend : amigo, amigaWriter: escritor, escritoraTeacher: profesor, profesora…

PERO…

1. Puede existir una palabra diferente para femenino y masculino:

King Queen Brother SisterMan Woman Uncle AuntBoy Girl Nephew NieceFather Mother Gentelman LadyHusband Wife Bull CowSon Daughter Cock Hen

2. En algunas palabras en masculino se añade el sufijo –ess para formar el femenino:

Actor Actress Tiger Tigress

Prince PrincessWaiter WaitressGod GoddessLion Lioness

2. En otras palabras se añade un sufijo al femenino para formar el masculino:

Widow Widower

O al revés:

Actor Actress

4. Por último, hay sustantivos que sirven para los dos:

Child: niño, niñaFriend: amigo, amigaTeacher: profesor, profesoraCitizen: ciudadano, ciudadanaGuest: invitado, invitada

Y podríamos anteponer otras palabras para aclararlo:

A male teacher The orphan boyA female teacher The orphan girl

Los verbos. Verbos modales I.

El presente simple ya está explicado. Se puede repasar en las páginas 119 y 120 del libro.

Presente Continuo.SUJETO + TO BE + V-ing

am/is/are

I am eating = yo estoy comiendo He is walking = él está caminandoThey are speaking = ellos/as están

hablando

Indica una acción que está ocurriendo en el momento de hablar y también lo usan para un plan inmediato de futuro (ojo: es indicador también de futuro I am not going to school)

Para la negativa, negamos el verbo to be.

I´m not lying = yo no estoy mintiendoThey aren´t choosing = ellos no están eligiendo

(las reglas para construir la terminación – ing partiendo del infinitivo del verbo están en la página 120)

Para construir la pregunta seguimos el orden:

Am/is/are + Sujeto + Verbo-ing?

Am I opening the door?Is he writing a postcard?

Usos del presente contínuo.(más completo que en el libro)

1. Para hablar de cosas que están sucediendo en el momento de hablar.

- I am speaking.- You are listening my explanation.

PARTÍCULAS QUE ACOMPAÑAN.- At the moment- Now

2. Para referirnos a acciones futuras (se llama presente continuo con valor de futuro). Pero sólo cuando hablamos de actividades ya planeadas y que se realizarán casi con total seguridad.Y LO TRADUCIMOS COMO NUESTRO FUTURO

The Asian elephant that speaks Korean

An Asian elephant named Koshik has learnt to imitate human speech, saying words in Korean that can be understood by speakers of the language. It is not clear why Koshik started imitating human speech, but biologists Angela Stoeger and Tecumseh Fitch suggest in research published in the journal Current Biology that it might be related to his experiences as a young elephant. For the first five years of his life Koshik was the only elephant at the Everland Zoo in South Korea, and consequently was only in the company of people during that important phase of his learning and development. It is thought that he started to adapt his vocalisations to those of humans in order to reinforce his links with them.

Researchers state that similar cases have been seen in some other species and in very special cases. There have been reports of elephants imitating the sound of engines,

and even of a male elephant in a zoo saying words in twodifferent languages, although this case was neverinvestigated by scientists.

A few years ago, Koshik appeared in newspaper headlines and attracted thousands of tourists with his unusual ability, but the researchers have now made a number of tests where they asked native Korean speakers to write down what they heard when listening to recordings of the elephant. They concluded that the elephant could pronounce the five Korean words for 'hello', 'sitdown', 'no', 'lie down' and 'good'. Unfortunately, the scientists have found no evidence that Koshik understands the meaning of the words he is using.

“An Original Way to Meet People.”

That morning I had an appointment with Frank Gehry, an architect from the city building department. I wanted to build a housing project and the plans needed his approval. I was driving quite fast and became lost in a maze of one way streets. I never like being late, so I was paying more attention to finding my way back downtown than to the road. That’s when I felt a hard bump. I stopped and saw a large dog, apparently dead, on the road. I ran to the nearest house, rang the bell and a young woman opened the door. “I’ve killed a dog and I need to call the police,” I said. “Can I use your phone?” I asked. She looked out and said calmly, “That’s my dog.”

After the officers had left she offered me a cup of coffee. I accepted. There were some letters on the kitchen table and I saw that one of them was addressed to “Frank Gehry.” I was astonished and asked what her husband’s name was. “Frank Gehry”, she answered. “Great,” I thought. “I need this man’s approval, and I’ve just killed his dog.”

When I arrived at the city hall a few minutes later, Frank was coming down the stairs with an angry look on his face. When he reached me, he embraced me and said loudly, “You’ve done us a great favour. Our dog was old and blind and had cancer, and neither my wife nor I had the courage to put him to sleep. Thank you so much for what you’ve done.”

“Eating Less Meat Could Save Lives.”1 More than 45,000 lives a year could be saved if everyone began eating meat

no more than two or three times2 a week, health experts claim today. Widespread change to low-meat diets

would stop 31,000 early deaths from heart3 disease, and 9,000 from cancer, according to new analyses of British eating

habits. Dramatically reduced meat4 consumption would slow down climate change and deforestation in South

America, where rainforests are being5 chopped down to raise cows, which are later exported to Europe.6 Eating too much meat, particularly processed meat, is unhealthy because it

can involve consuming more fat7 than official guidelines recommend. "We don't need to go vegetarian to look

after ourselves and our planet, but we do8 need to cut down on meat," said Peter Bennett. "While the government has

ignored the environmental aspect of9 meat and dairy consumption, it can't ignore the lives that would be saved by

switching to less and better meat."10 Meat producers criticised the report. "The vast majority of consumers eat less

than average11 recommendations of red meat already," said Chris Lamb. "It is over-simplistic

to say that changing one element of12 the diet can have such a dramatic result. Red meat has a valuable role to

play as part of a healthy diet." Jen Elford,13 of the Vegetarian Society, added: "Of course less meat is better than more,

but we can't start solving the14 environmental and health problems without moving away from animal

protein."
