TEMA 1: LOS ARTICULOS EN INGLÉS
El aritículo "a/an" equivale a nuestro artículo indeterminado en español(un, uno, una). Utilizamos "a" cuando la siguiente palabra empieza consonido consonántico, y "an" cuando empieza sonido vocálico. Ejemplos:
A dogA carA televisionA human being
An elephantAn appleAn orangeAn hour
Utilizamos "some" en SINGULAR con aquellos sustantivos que no se pueden contar, que son incontables. Ejemplos:
some milk some water some suger some tea
Utilizamos "some" en plural con todos aquellos sustantivos contables. Ejemplos:
a dog - some dogsan elephant - some elephants A car - some carsAn hour - some hours
Como normal general utilizamos some para frases afirmativas en singular, si el sustantivo es incontable, y en frases afirmativas en plural si el adjetivo es contable. Ejemplos: Some milkSome dogs
Como norma general utilizamos any para frases negativas e interrogativas en singular, si el sustantivo es incontable, y en frases negativas e interrogativas en plural si el adjetivo es contable. Ejemplos:
There isn't any milk in the glassThere aren't any dogs in the street
Pero podemos encontrar algunas excepciones. Por ejemplo, si hacemos una pregunta en la que esperamos una respuesta afirmativa utilizamos some en lugar de any. Por ejemplo: Would you like some more coffee?
Los sustantivos son palabras que sirven para designar personas, animales o cosas. Por ejemplo, boy, dog, city o table. En inglés el nombre no suele tener variaciones genéricas, es decir, un mismo sustantivo puede utilizarsepara el masculino y el femenino. Por ejemplo, la palabra teacher o la palabra student. Compara estos dos ejermplos:
My English teacher is a man, but my Maths teacher is a woman.The student in front of me was a girl. The student next to me is a boy. Podemos diferenciar los siguientes tipos de sustantivos en inglés: SUSTANTIVOS PROPIOS MARY, SPAIN, JOHN, MADRID
SUSTANTIVOS COMUNES CHAIR, CAT, WOMAN, RABBIT
SUSTANTIVOS ABSTRACTOS BEAUTY, COURAGE, FEAR
SUSTANTIVOS COLECTIVOS CROWD, GRUOP, TEAM
Hemos referido anteriormente, que en inglés las palabras no suelen tener variación genérica, pero sin embargo hay excepciones en las que se diferencia entre masculino y femenino: MASCULINO FEMENINO
MAN WOMAN
BOY GIRL
SON DAUGHTER
BROTHER SISTER
HUSBAND WIFE
UNCLE AUNT
KING QUEEN
FATHER MOTHER
Algunos sustantivos se forman con la terminación –ess:
MASCULINO FEMENINO ACTOR ACTRESS LION LIONESS PRINCE PRINCESS
El plural se hace en inglés añadiendo una -s al sustantivo. Por ejemplo, dog- dogs (perro - perros). Sin embargo, existen excepciones que enumeramos a continuación. 1. Si un sustantivo acaba en "s, ss, sh, ch, x, o (excepto piano, pianos) " , el plural se forma añadiendo - es a la palabra. Bus - bussesKiss - kisses Brush - Brushes Box - boxes Bench - benches Tomato - tomatoes 2. Si un sustantivo acaba en "-y", la formación del plural depende de la letra que precede a la "-y". Si la "-y" está precedida de una vocal el plural se forma añadiendo "-s", pero si la "-y" está precedida por una consonante, la "-y" se convierte en "-i", y despúes añadimos " -es". Ejemplos: Lady - ladiesDay - days
3. Si un sustantivo acaba en -f / -fe, se elimina la terminación "- f / - fe" y se añade "-ves". Thief - ThievesLife - Lives
4. Hay sustantivos que son invariables tanto en singular como en plural, esdecir, su forma del singular y el plural es la misma. Ejemplos: Sheep - sheep (oveja, ovejas) Salmon - salmon (salmón, salmones)
5. Hay sustantivos que solo tienen forma plural. Ejemplos: glasses (gafas)troussers (pantalones)scissors (tijeras)

PRONOMBRES RECÍPROCOS

TEMA 4 “LOS ADJETIVOS”
Los adjetivos son palabras que determinan a los sustantivos (persona, animal o cosa). Por ejemplo:
The red book.
La posición de los adjetivos varía dependiendo de sí se refieren a un nombre o a un verbo. Si refiere a un sustantivo siempre se coloca delante del mismo.
A big man
A black dog
A small door
A tall girl
Si se refiere a un verbo entonces se coloca después. Por ejemplo:
She’s British
He is cold
They were late
El adjetivo en inglés es invariable. No varía del masculino al femenino ni tampoco del singular al plural. Por ejemplo:
En inglés existen 3 tipos de comparativo: INFERIORIDAD, IGUALDAD YSUPERIORIDAD
1) COMPARATIVO DE INFERIORIDAD: Estructura: [less + than] ///// [not as .......as] Ejemplo: He is less intelligent than you (El es menos inteligente que tu)Ejemplo: He is not as intelligent as you (El no es tan inteligente como tu) NOTA: Normalmente se utiliza less para incontables y fewer para los contables 2) COMPARATIVO DE IGUALDAD: Estructura: [as + as] Ejemplo: He is as intelligent as you (El es tan inteligente como tu) 3) COMPARATIVO DE SUPERIORIDAD El comparativo de superioridad tiene dos estructuras diferentes dependiendo de la longitud del adjetivo. ADJETIVOS CORTOS [-er + than] Ejemplo: He is taller than me (El es más alto que yo) ADJETIVOS LARGOS [more + than] Ejemplo: He is more intelligent than me (El es más inteligente que yo)
SPECIAL SPELLING
Pretty - Prettier (La "y" se sustituye por "i", y después se añade -er.Large - Larger (Se añade solo una "r" porque ya acabe en "e".Big - Bigger (Si un adejetivo acaba en consonate+vocal+consonante, se le dobla la última consonante y se añade er. ADJETIVOS IRREGULARES (Bueno) Good - Better (Mejor)(Malo) Bad - Worse (Peor)(Lejos) Far - Further (más lejos)
En inglés, el superlativo, al igual que ocurre con el comprativo de superioridad tiene dos estructuras dependiendo de la longitud de los adjetivos:
ADJETIVOS CORTOS
Estructura: [the + -est] Ejemplo: He is the tallest boy in the classroom (El es el chico más alto de la clase)
ADJETIVOS LARGOS
Estructura: [ the most + adjetivo] Ejemplo: He is the most intelligent boy in the classroom (El es el chico más inteligente de la clase)
ADJETIVOS IRREGULARES
Good - The best (el mejor)Bad - The worst (el peor)Far - The furthest (el más lejano)
TEMA 5 “ADVERBIOS”
Los adverbios son palabras invariables, cuya función consiste en complementar la significación del verbo, de un adjetivo, de otro adverbio y de ciertas secuencias.
De acuerdo con su significado, clasificamos los adverbios del siguiente modo:
Los adverbios de lugar nos dicen dónde ocurre la acción, por ejemplo: everywhere, here, nowhere, there.

TEMA 6 “TIEMPOS VERBALES: EL VERBO TOBE”
El verbo “be” en inglés presenta las siguientes estructuras en presente simple:
- Acción que realizamos en un momento concreto del pasado.
Por ejemplo: I was studying English yesterday afternoon.
EXPRESIONES TEMPORALES
- Un momento específico del pasado.
For example: I was playing football yesterday afternoon.
Ver frases con when y while
TEMA 12 “TIEMPOS VERBALES: WILL Y GOING TO”
FUTURO SIMPLE
USO
- Para predicciones. Por ejemplo: Paco will pass selectividad (pero todavía no lo sabe)- Para decisiones espontáneas: “Which do you prefer tea or coffee? – I will havea coffee”- Para expresar acciones que se producirán 100% seguro: I will be 18 next month.
ESTRUCTURA
- Afirmativa: sujeto + will + infinitivo sin -to + complementos- Negativa: sujeto + won't + infinitivo sin-to + complementos- Interrogativa: Will + sujeto + infinitivo sin -to + complementos?
- Interrogativa: Have/ Has + sujeto + participio + complementos?
USO
- Se refiere a una acción ocurrida en el pasado, pero muy cercana al presente. Por tanto, podemos decir que el presente perfecto simple se refiere a un pasado reciente.
YET: ya, todavia / frases negativas e interrogativas / Posición final
JUST: acabar de
NEVER: nunca (frases afirmativas)
EVER: alguna vez / Si aparece con una frase negativa significa "nunca"
SINCE: desde
FOR: durante
TEMA 14 “TIEMPOS VERBALES: PRESENTE PERFECTO CONTINUO”
FORMACIÓN
Afirmativa: sujeto + have/has been + verbo acabado en -ing.He’s been writing letters all morning. Negative: sujeto + haven’t/hasn’t been + verbo acabado en -ingWe haven’t been reading much lately. Interrogative: Have / Has + sujeto + been + verbo acabado en –ing?You look hot! Have you been running?
USO
Utilizamos el presente perfecto continuo para hablar de una acción que se desarolló durante algún tiempo en el pasado y que acaba de terminar. Los efectos de dicha acción se hacen sentir en el presente.
Queremos decir con esto que estuvo corriendo, acaba de dejarlo, pero aún se siente cansada. We've been playing volleyball.They've been fighting.She's been washing her hair. Este último ejemplo significa que hace poco estaba lavándose la cabeza. Ahora ya no se está lavando, pero los efectos de la acción pueden verse en el presente: su pelo está aún húmedo.
TEMA 15 “TIEMPOS VERBALES: PASADO PERFECTO SIMPLE”
FORMACIÓN
- Afirmativa: sujeto + had + participio (-ed en los regulares/3º columna en los irregulares) + complementos
TEMA 16 “TIEMPOS VERBALES: FUTURO CONTINUO Y PERFECTO”
FUTURO CONTINUO
USO
Utilizamos el futuro continuo para expresar acciones que ocurrirán en un momento concreto del futuro. Por ejemplo: Andrew can't go to the party. He'll be working all day tomorrow.
FORMACIÓN Afirmativa: Sujeto + will be + V-ing + complementosNegativa: Sujeto + won't be + V-ing + complementosInterrogativa: Will + sujeto + be + V-ing + complementos?
FUTURO PERFECTO
USO
Utilizamos el futuro perfecto para expresar una acción que acabará en un momento determinado del futuro. Por ejemplo: By the year 2020 I will have finished my studies at University.
ESTRUCTURA
Afirmativa: sujeto + will have + participio + complementosNegativa: sujeto + won't have + participio + complementos
Interrogativa: will + sujeto + have + participio + complementos?
TEMA 17 “ORACIONES CONDICIONALES”
En inglés podemos distinguir tres tipos de oraciones condicionales:
FIRST CONDITIONAL
El primer tipo nos indica que una situación ocurrirá con seguridad en el futuro. [if + presente simple] + [futuro simple (will)] If he finishes his homework, he’ll go to the cinema.
SECOND CONDITIONAL
El Segundo tipo de condicional indica que una acción podría ocurrir. Tiene un matiz de duda.
En esta estructura el verbo "wish" va seguido de un pasado irreal cuando queremos hablar sobre situaciones en el presente con las que no somos felices, pero tampoco las podemos cambiar. Ejemplos: I wish i had more money --- ojalá tuviese más dinero (pero no lo tengo)I wish i could come to the party -- ojalá pudiese venir a las fiesta (pero no puedo)
SEGUNDO TIPO: I WISH/IF ONLY + PASADO PERFECTO SIMPLE
Utilizamos esta estructura cuando queremos hablar sobre situaciones del pasado con las que no somos felices, o acciones de las que estamos arrepentidos. Ejemplo: I wish i hadn't said that -- ojalá no hubiese dicho eso (pero lo dije)He wishes he hadn't bought the car -- ojalá el no se hubiese comprado el coche (pero lo compró)
TERCER TIPO: I WISH/IF ONLY + WOULD + INFINITIVO
Utilizamos esta estructura cuando queremos protestar por algo, es decir, cuando queremos que alguien abandone un hábito. por ejemplo: I wish he would stop smoking: ojalá el dejara de fumar(no me gusta y quiero que cambie)
Compara la diferecia entre el estilo directo y el indirecto:
Estilo directo:He said: " I don't want to go home yet".Estilo indirecto o repoted speech:He said (that) he didn't want to go home yet.
En estilo indirecto that es opcional. Si se incluye, el registro es algo
más formal que si se omite.
Cuando los verbos como say, ask, tell, etc. (reporting verbs) están
en pasado, cambia el tiempo verbal del resto de la oración en el estilo indirecto. La excepción se produce cuando hablamos de algo que aún tiene validez en el presente.:
- They told me: "Water boils at 100 degrees" ---- They told me (that) water boils at 100 degrees.- She said: "He has to work all weekend" ----She said (that) he had to work all weekend.
- Tomorrow - the next day/ the following day- Today - that day- Yesterday - the day before / the previous day- Next week - the following week - Last week - the week before / the previous week- Now - then- Here - there- This week - that week
Cambios en los pronombres personales sujeto y objeto
- I don't know YOU - She said she didn't like ME- WE are late - He said THEY were late
Cambios en los posesivos:
That's not MY book - He said that wasn't HIS book.
Peticiones e imperativos en estilo indirecto: (not) to + infinitivo
"Shut up" - He asked me TO shut up."Don't open that window" - He ordered them NOT TO open that window.
Preguntas en estilo indirecto:
- Al pasar de estilo directo a indirecto las preguntas tienen el orden SUJETO + VERBO. Hay que diferenciar entre dos tipos de preguntas: * Preguntas con palabra interrogativa (what, who, where, etc): He asked: "Where are you?" - He asked me WHERE I was * Preguntas cuya respuesta es si o no (sin palabra interrogativa). She asked: are you OK? - She asked me IF/WHETHER I was OK.
Sugerencias en estilo indirecto: Suggest + -ing / that should
They suggested leaving earlyThey suggested that we should live early
Utilizamos la voz pasiva cuando no sabemos que o quien realiza una acción, o cuando éste no es relevante.
After the car accident, Peter was arrested.The space shuttle will be launched on 4th July.
Utilizamos la voz active cuando sabemos quien o que realiza una acción, dado que éste es relevante.
After the car accident, the police arrested Peter.NASA will launch the space shuttle on 4th July.
FORMACIÓN
Utilizamos el verbo to be en su correspondiente forma verbal + un participio:
These computers are made in Japan.The telephone was invented by Alexander Bell.The crime will be investigated by the police.
PASOS PARA HACER UNA ORACIÓN PASIVA
Vamos a explicar como pasar una oración a pasiva a partir del siguiente ejemplo: - The boy bouht the house - The house was bought (by the boy) Primer paso: El objeto de la oración activa (que normalmente es la primera palabra o sintagma nominal que aparece después del verbo principal de la oración activa - the house se convierte en sujeto en la voz pasiva.
Segundo paso: Tenemos que escribir el verbo TO BE en la oración pasiva, en el mismo tiempo verbal que el verbo de la oración activa. Es decir, si el verbo de la
oración activa está en presente, tenemos que poner am, is o are en la oración pasiva. Si el verbo principal de la activa está en pasado, pondríamos was o were, y si estuviese en futuro pondríamos will be.
Tercer paso: El verbo principal de la oración activa, se transforma en participio en la pasiva.
Cuarto paso: El sujeto de la oración activa (the boy) se convierte en complemento agente en la voz pasiva introducido por la preposición - by (by the boy)
Vamos a analizar los distintos pronombres relativos que podemos encontrar en inglés:
1. WHO (que ,quien, quienes) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a personas. Ej: The boy, who you met yesterday, is my brother. 2. WHICH (que, el que, la que...) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a animales,cosas u objetos. Ej: The car, which you bought yesterday, is really nice. 3. THAT (que, el que, la que...) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a personas, animales y cosas. Hay una regla en inglés que dice que no se puede utilizar"that" después de coma. Por tanto, no podemos utilizar este relativo en oraciones NON - DEFINING que son aquellas oraciones en las que la oración de relativo va entre comas. 4. WHAT (lo que) - Utilizamos "what" con este sentido cuando es pronombre relativo, y no interrogativo. Ej: What you say is false! ///// I don't understand what you say. 5. WHERE (donde) - Indica lugar. Ej: This is the house where I live. 6. WHEN (cuando) - Indica tiempo. Ej: Yesterday, when you called me, was special for me. 7. WHOSE (cuyo, a, os, as) - Indica posesión. Ej: Maria, whose father is a doctor, is my cousin. 8. WHY (el porque) - Para argumentar una razón de porque se hace algo. Ej: I don't understand why she got angry yesterday.
Un verbo modal es aquel que se usa en combinación con un verbo principalpara expresar obligación, prohibición, capacidad o habilidad para realizar alguna tarea, para hacer recomendaciones, etc. Ex. Ralph can speak three languages. You know you shouldn´t smoke, so why do you do it?
CUADRO RESUMEN

She has to wear uniform in this school
She doesn’t have to wear uniform at this schoolDoes she have to wear uniform at this school?
Las oraciones subordinadas consecutivas se forman con “such” y “so”. Las oraciones subordinadas consecutivas (clauses of result) se forman con las siguientes estructuras.
1. SUCH A / AN + sustantivo contable en plural + (THAT) + oración principal.
Ejemplo: John is such an intelligent boy (that) everybody want to speak to him (Juan es una persona tan inteligente que todo el mundo quiere hablar con él).
2. SUCH + adjetivo + sustantivo contable en plural + (THAT) + oración principal.
Ejemplo: John saw such cheap shirts that he bought three of them (Juan vio enla tienda unas camisas tan baratas que compro tres).

Ejemplo: We drank so much wine (that) we had a terrible headache (Bebimos tanto vino que teníamos un dolor de cabeza terrible)
6. SO MANY + sustantivo contable.
Ejemplo: There were so many people in the Street (that) we couldn’t walk.
Las clauses of contrast (oraciones subordinadas concesivas) con aquellas que como su propio nombre indica expresan un contraste de ideas en una oración. Las conjunciones más frecuentes son “although o though”, “in spite of o despite”. ALTHOUGH O THOUGH (Aunque)
Ejemplos:
1. Although / Though it was raining he didn’t take his umbrella. (Aunque estaballoviendo, no cogió el paraguas)
2. He didn’t take his umbrella although / though it was raining. (No cogió el paraguas aunque estaba lloviendo).
3. Even though he tried to make us smile, he wasn’t able to. (Aunque intentó hacernos reir, no lo consiguió). IN SPITE OF O DESPITE (A pesar de) + sustantivo o gerundio

1. In spite of / Despite the rain, we went out (A pesar de la lluvía, salimos).
2. In spite of / Despite having done the exercises, the teacher got angry (A pesar de haber hecho los ejercicios, el professor se enfado). Construcción adicional : In spite of / Despite + the fact (that) + oración subordinadaIn spite of the fact (that) he is very rich, he lives in a modern house. (A pesar deque es muy rico vive en una casa modesta.
