experiencia docente como asesor académico en esta asignatura, he visto la necesidad de contar con
materiales didácticos prácticos y sencillos, aunque no menos rigorista.

esperando que le sea de utilidad y lo lleve a cumplir sus metas educativas.

OBSERVE Punto 1.1.: Para pedir identificación de objetos en singular, se usa la forma What is it? Para responder a esta pregunta, su
usa la forma “It”. “It” se usa para referirse a cosas, objetos, animales, etc., siempre que el sustantivo que le sigue esté en singular; después de esta forma, se le agrega la forma “is”; quedándose constituido como “It is.” It’s es contracción de It is, ambas formas sirven para identificar el objeto. It’s se prefiere al hablar y en escritos informales.
El artículo “a” se usa cuando la palabra que sigue comienza con un sonido consonántico y el artículo “an” se usa cuando la palabra que sigue comienza con un sonido vocálico. Ambos artículos corresponden en español a un/una. Es importante tener en cuenta que las razones que obligan al uso de “a” o “an” son estrictamente fonéticas y no producen ningún cambio de significado en el nombre al que se refiere.
En general, utilizamos el artículo indeterminado “a” o “an” antes de un sustantivo contable en singular para referirnos a un elemento cualquiera dentro de un grupo o categoría.
Punto 1.2.: No se usa “a” o “an” para objetos que carecen de número; es decir, los sustantivos incontables. A los objetos que
carecen de número se les puede dar el de los recipientes que los contienen: a glass, a bottle; etc. También se les da unidad al medirlos: a gallon of milk, a pound of sugar. Después del nombre del recipiente o de la unidad de peso o medida va siempre la palabra “of.”

OBSERVE Punto 2.1.: Para preguntar identificación de objetos en plural, se usa la forma What are they? Para responder a esta pregunta,
se usa la forma “They”. “They” se usa para referirse a cosas, objetos, etc en plural; después de esta forma, se le agrega la forma “are”; quedándose constituido como “They are”. They’re es contracción de They are, ambas formas sirven para identificar el objeto. Después de la forma They are, el nombre del objeto que sigue debe estar en plural.
Para pluralizar un sustantivo; se sigue las siguientes reglas gramaticales: 1. Los sustantivos forman regularmente el plural agregando “s” al singular; como: book, books; house, houses; boy, boys. 2. Los sustantivos que terminan en: “s, sh, ch, x, o” forman el plural agregando “es” al singular; como: grass, grasses; brush,
brushes; bench, benches; box, boxes; tomato, tomatoes. 3. Los sustantivos que terminan en “y” precedidos por una consonante; la “y” cambia a “i” y luego se le agrega “es”; como: city,
cities; fly, flies. 4. Los sustantivos que terminan en “y” precedidos por una vocal, sólo se le agrega la “s”; como: boy, boys; day, days. 5. También en inglés, hay sustantivos irregulares que tienen forma diferente en singular y plural, como: man, men; woman,
women; tooth, teeth; foot, feet; child, children; leaf, leaves; knife, knives, etc.
Punto 2.2.: Con la forma What are they?, también se puede responder indicando el número de objetos. La pregunta para pedir cantidad de un objeto con unidad (contable) es How many? One sólo se utiliza cuando se están
especificando números, de otra manera se usa a/an. La pregunta para pedir cantidad de un objeto sin unidad (incontable) es How much? Esta cantidad, es medible por las
unidades de peso o de volumen que alcance los objetos masivos, o por el número de los recipientes que los contengan, o por las formas concretas que tomen en un determinado caso: one pound of sugar, one pint of milk, two cans of juice, one sheet of paper, etc.

EL VERBO “TO BE”
3.1. Identificación de objetos y/o personas en forma afirmativa.
She is very intelligent. Mr. Smith is fat. They are hungry. Helen is thirsty.
I am 20 years old. You are very important.
It is a necklace. They are pens.
3.2. Identificación de objetos y/o personas en forma negativa.
She isn’t very intelligent. Mr. Smith is not fat.
They are not hungry. Helen isn’t thirsty.
I am not 20 years old. You aren’t very important.
It is not a necklace. They are not pens.
3.3. Identificación de objetos y/o personas en forma interrogativa y cómo responder.
Are they books? Are they oranges?
Yes, they are. No, they aren’t.
Is it a pencil? Is it a dog?
Yes, it is. No, it isn’t.
OBSERVE El verbo “to be” tiene especial importancia en inglés, porque no sólo funciona como verbo principal, sino también como verbo
auxiliar en otros tiempos gramaticales. Hay que recordar que “to be” significa tanto ser como estar; dado que el inglés no distingue entre el significado de estos dos
verbos. Punto 3.1.: La forma afirmativa se forma colocando en primer lugar el sujeto (pronombres personales, sustantivo) seguido del
verbo “to be” conjugado (am, are, is) más el complemento correspondiente. Punto 3.2.: La forma negativa, se añade “not” después del verbo “to be” conjugado. Punto 3.3.: La forma interrogativa se construye al situar el verbo “to be” al principio de la oración. Si la respuesta es afirmativa,
se utiliza la palabra Yes, luego el sujeto (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) y en seguida la forma am, is o are que le corresponde. Si la respuesta es negativa se utiliza primero No, luego se da el sujeto (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), con la forma am, is o are que le corresponda, y en seguida la palabra not.
Además, existen contracciones correspondientes a las formas afirmativa y negativa. Observe que no hay contracción de “am not”.
Se puede utilizar el verbo “to be”, entre otras cosas, para describir características y condiciones físicas o para hacer referencia
a la edad biológica.

OBSERVE Par indicar que la acción se está efectuando en el momento del habla, es decir, para describir la acción en el momento en que
está ocurriendo, se sigue las siguientes reglas gramaticales:
Punto 11.1.: Formamos el presente continuo en la forma afirmativa con el auxiliar “to be” y un verbo en la forma –ing. Punto 11.2.: En la forma negativa añadimos “not” después del auxiliar “to be” Punto 11.3.: En la forma interrogativa situamos el auxiliar “to be” al principio de la frase. Es decir; la interrogación total sobre la
actividad que se desarrolla en el momento del habla se estructura utilizando en primer término la forma am, is, o are que corresponda al sujeto que efectúa la acción, en seguida este sujeto, y luego el verbo con el sufijo –ing, los demás elementos que complementan van al final.
Observe el siguiente cuadro resumen:

ORTOGRAFÍA.
1. Habitualmente añadimos la terminación –ing a la raíz del verbo: Play – playing, read – reading, etc. 2. Cuando la raíz termina en consonante + -e, la –e se sustituye por –ing. Love – living, close – closing, etc. 3. Cuando la raíz termina en –ie, la terminación pasa a ser –ying: die – dying, lie – lying, etc 4. Cuando la raíz tiene una vocal seguida de una sola consonante, duplicamos la consonante: ro – robbing, cut – cutting, etc 5. Cuando la raíz tiene más de una sílaba y se acentúa la última, duplicamos la consonante final: refer – referring, begin –
beginning, etc.
USOS Utilizamos la forma continua, tanto en presente como en pasado, cuando percibimos una acción o estado como algo transitorio que tiene lugar a lo largo de un periodo de tiempo limitado. En concreto, podemos emplear el presente continuo para describir una acción que se está desarrollando en el momento preciso en que se pronuncia la frase.
Punto 11.4.: Para preguntar sobre la actividad de alguien o algo en el momento del habla, se utiliza la forma interrogativa “what”, luego “am, is o are” en concordancia con el sujeto, por cuya actividad se pregunta, que sigue inmediatamente, y al final la forma “doing”.
Punto 11.5.: En los primeros cuatro ejemplos; going to precede el nombre de un lugar para indicar la acción de dirigirse a ese
lugar. Los nombres de ciudades, estados y países, ordinariamente no van precedidos por the. Algunas excepciones son: the United States, the Netherlands, the Sovietic Union, etc.
En el quinto ejemplo; en este contexto los nombres de lugar church, class y school, no van precedidos por the, que sí los precede en otros contextos. Ej. The church is at the corner, The school is old, etc.
En el último ejemplo; ante los nombres de lugar, home y downtown, se omite la palabra to.

Recuerda que: únicamente llevan (s, es,) a los verbos que se conjuguen en tercera persona en singular en presente simple
afirmativo (he, she, it); las demás formas no llevan (I, you, we, they). Además recuerda que la forma: HAS es un verbo especial
que se usa en tercera persona del singular.
Inglés 1 Preparatoria Abierta 44
Punto 13.2.: Para indicar que una acción, inclinación, sentimiento o carencia, referidos a una tercera persona en singular, se usa el auxiliar does not o su contracción doesn’t; y para las demás personas gramaticales, se usa el auxiliar do not o su contracción don’t. Cuando se utiliza el auxiliar doesn’t, el verbo de la oración no lleva las terminaciones s, es, ies. Se utiliza doesn’t y don’t cuando no está el verbo to be (is, are, am) en la oración. Para indicar que una acción, sentimiento, inclinación o carencia no se da con una determinada frecuencia se insertan las formas do not (don’t) o does not (doesn’t) antes del adverbio de frecuencia. Cuando se trata de las formas is, are, am, la palabra not va inmediatamente después de is, are, am y en seguida el adverbio de frecuencia correspondiente.
Punto 13.3.: Para preguntar sobre la habitualidad o permanencia de acciones, inclinaciones, carencias u otros hechos referidos a una tercera persona en singular, se usa el auxiliar Does y para las demás personas gramaticales, se usa el auxiliar Do.
Si la respuesta es afirmativa, se utiliza la palabra Yes, luego el sujeto y en seguida la forma does o do que le corresponde. Si la respuesta es negativa se utiliza primero No, luego se da el sujeto, con la forma does o do que le corresponda, y en seguida la palabra not. Para preguntar por la frecuencia con que se da una acción, una actitud, o un hecho cualquiera, se inserta la palabra ever inmediatamente después del sujeto de la oración interrogativa correspondiente. Existen dos posibles respuestas breves para este tipo de preguntas: 1) No, seguido de never, rarely o seldom, y Yes, seguido de sometimes, often, usually u olways. 2) La respuesta breve afirmativa, con las palabras que indican frecuencia insertadas inmediatamente después del sujeto, excepto en el caso de never, rarely y seldom en que se sustituye yes por no; es decir, never, rarely y seldom, tienen sentido negativo, por lo tanto no pueden combinarse con yes.
Punto 13.4.: Las formas interrogativas what, where, when, whom, how antepuestas a las formas do, does, am, is, are¸ en preguntas, sirven para pedir información sobre un complemento o circunstancia de la acción o hecho al que hace referencia el verbo. Estudie cuidadosamente el siguiente cuadro:
What
