Present Simple & Present Continuous

  

En general, en inglés para formar frases usamos:

- En afirmativa:         Sujeto + verbo

- En negativa:            Sujeto + auxiliar + not  + verbo

                                                    se suele

                                                    contraer

                                                  (auxiliarn't)

- En interrogativa:    Auxiliar + sujeto + verbo?

- En respuesta cortas:    Yes, sujeto + auxiliar.   /   No, sujeto + auxiliarn't.

   OJO: en las respuestas cortas el sujeto solo puede ser un pronombre personal (I, You, He, She, It, We, They)

    Es importante saber el orden de las distintas partes de la oración y el auxiliar de cada tiempo (es la palabra que me permite formar la negativa, la interrogativa y las respuestas cortas y que depende del tiempo verbal).

  Estos cuadros resumen el Present Simple y el Present Continuous que vimos el trimestre anterior.

 

	PRESENT SIMPLE
	To be	Resto de verbos
Forma	Sujeto + am / is / are	Sujeto + verbo ( + -s para he/she/it) ¡ojo!: hay reglas de ortografía -s

      En cuanto al uso y expresiones de tiempo, solo os pongo lo más básico, pero sabed que los tiempos verbales tienen otros usos que iréis aprendiendo y que hay más tiempos verbales, así que esto que hemos visto deberíais estudiarlo muy bien... y ánimo, que no es tan difícil chicos :)
